Mushroom Trip (trying to let go)

I am going to use Psyclobin Mushrooms next weekend. I am trying to plan for a very intense trip b/c I am basically battling depression and have been for a while, I am on SSRis, I realize for most of these things it will diminish effects. I did read that with mushrooms though that you can break through. I really want to do DMT but I have to get off the Antis first, and the antidpressants are bullshit anyway. I do think Luvox has worked wonders for my OCD< but I need to get off of some of them, and try some different methods. Maybe a mood stabilizer, the more I read about SSRIs the more I just get sick of even taking them. I am either really depressed or just numb all the time. I've abused the E and lots of other stuff for the last 10 years, but never abused the psychadelics, I have done Mesc and loved that! Just need a breakthrough, I am alone....to be honest. My only contact is with a very self destructive manic idiot who I shouldn't hang with. I want this trip to be pure and all that is righteous with doing this type of thing. Thinking maybe I should go to a local park we have here that is in the forest, and just walk the trails and rest, take it in, or something like that. I realize that most people would advise me to stay on the medication and stop talking nonsense, but I'm going to do what I know I have to do. I would rather abandon all the meds and go crazy and even possibly die than to keep living in this dreadful cycle of nothingness. My life consists of watching netflix all day, going to weekly movies, reading books, the great stuff like Castaneda, which actually is a good thing. My point for telling you this is that I need to get out and reach out and find someone to love, and I mean love as in connect, not necessarily a girlfriend, as I am probably not ready for anything remotely like that. If you have any tips or suggestions I would appreciate it. I realize this isn't a psychoanalysis website where I can just utilize everyone as if they're a therapist.I just need help, and my issues are hard for me to express to anyone, much less my shrink who is just a money hungry corporate brainwashed Doctor who writes out scripts like he's going out of business. Thanks and much love everyone.
 
I have seen psychs let people stop 7 years heroin addictions cold turkey. They have personally helped me get pretty much completely over schizophrenia. My friend, as long as you want to change and are prepared for such an extreme change, psychedelics will change everything you thought you knew. I used to take heavy meds for schizophrenia, now zero. Zip. Nada. Acid helped me the most, but all psychs will do wondrous things. I wish you the best of luck mate, and I hope you find what you're searching for
 
I use psychs for this very reason as well...I try to trip hard, usually solo, about once a month (my preferred psychs are mushrooms, DMT and newly I have discovered how amazing 4ACODMT is too!)...but I have been diagnosed with manic depression, anxiety disorder, OCD, ADHD, the works pretty much...all of these things seem ridiculous now and I feel like I have total control of my mind and my life...it doesn't work for everybody but if you go into it with a therapeutic mindset and really let go in the trip, there are many happy revelations to come, and yes you can really help your self with psychedelics...but I always looked at it like this, it's not the drug that will help you, the drug lets you help yourself, it is tool like anything else and must be used right to be effective! Good luck man I hope you get what you need out of it!
 
I really appreciate the support. About 10 years ago my OCD disorder was so out of control I resorted to medication for it, and it has masked it, but I don't like how I Feel. DO you have any advice on things I should do b4 trippin? Maybe discontinue meds ?
 
Try some 5-Htp, it sounds like your depression could be caused by abusing E and depleting your serotonin. You can buy a bottle of it at a pharmacy for under 20 bucks probably more like 10. Also getting off the meds probably isn't the worst idea, SSRI's can do a lot more harm than help in the long run. As for the mushrooms you got it pretty much right, stay alone or with people you trust and stick to nature, being around people on mushrooms is pretty stressful in my opinion. Besides that all you can do is keep a positive outlook and enjoy yourself.
 
That's great and yes you're probably right about the abuse of E. I am not against 5 Htp, used b4, but is it a proven working drug? I just don't get why the FDA is tight on things, but I realize I need to keep an open mind.
 
I would like to state that I tried to go off my meds about 3 years ago and had a mental breakdown and had to be hospitalized. It gradually took about 4 months and then the break down. I just know that I have to stop this time. Maybe I'm just a crazy ass fuck, but it's time. I never had these breakdowns till I was on the meds, then I would stop them and gradually i would go into mania. I just want to know how to do this the right way, I know if I talk to my doctor he's just gonna try to get me on other drugs.
 
I am scared to go off these SSRIS again. The thing is that I became crazier b/c of the meds, b/c when I go off them I have crazy mania. I'm just not sure whatsoever what the right call is, I am analyzing this to death.
 
When you trip, don't plan on being indoors and don't miss an opportunity to watch the break of dawn. Thunderstorms are incredible tripping especially when it's still maturing with the winds shifting, trees swaying and thunder off in the distance. Night thunderstorms with cloud-to-cloud lightning are even cooler!
 
this may sound crazy, but I've done lots of mushrooms so take this advice for what its worth if you want...

before you take the mushrooms, hold them in your hand and speak to them, tell them what you are hoping to get out of the experience, Tell it you are placing yourself into its hands and say "please don't burn me".

I find that the mushroom is usually pretty gentle on new users, don't take over 5 grams on your first trip, have a joint handy if possible.

It will come in waves, the first wave will hit the fastest and hardest and the whole thing should be over in about 6 hours.

Don't eat for 6 hours before you do it.

Have a blast, nothing to fear, don't panic, don't curl up into a ball and don't give in to astonishment, pay attention to what is happening.

Good Luck
 
I just think I have to get off these ssris and ativan. I also have type 2 diabetes, this shit is gonna kill me if I don't.

Good advice. Engimaticfreak, be advised that shrooms can either be very lucid and clear or a complete mindfog. Be sure to get a good strain. Either way you'll be thinking a lot. I know people with depression and I've seen benzos and alcohol ruin them. Stay away from benzos, they make you feel all chirpy and good but outside people still see the truth. I don't like when people are depressed, down and unwilling to talk about their problems, and then next day they are your best friend only because they took a xanax. Anti-depressants only mask the real issue.

Remember, we all make our own messes, but what's important is accepting it as ours. There is no such thing as mistakes and regrets, they are just opportunities taken. Better to live a life of oh wells than what ifs. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

Have a good day. Take something from each one. Life is all just continuing education. We never leave school. There are always new views to look through and alternate ways to engage a problem. Don't let stubbornness and pride trap you.
 
Please, if you do have those "mental disorders" that you speak of take psychedelics with caution and look for a therapist that is schooled in altered states of consciousness. Check out the Spiritual Emergence Network. These are very powerful molecules and can invoke very intense experiences. I personally do think they can be very helpful, theraputic and life changing. But they become nightmares if you don't have someone you can talk to if you have a difficult experience and integration is the key to behaviour change. Good luck to you and congrats for loving life so much you are willing to take a chance to better yours!
 
I do have one concern..I am going alone and I tend to get lost on this hike even when I'm not on anything. It has trails that show you where to go, but sometimes I get lost. Would this be an issue on the shrooms?
 
^just want to pop in and say yes getting lost on the hike would be an issue...
i actually know some guys who went on a casual hike and stepped off the trail to smoke weed and then ended up lost for 3 days.
 
in all probability, you will not be able to figure out where you are. my first trip i couldnt even figure out how to use a tv remote. bring a sitter, or trip in a familiar area. also, shrooms tend to get realllly weird at night, so plan on taking them before noon

Take enough food and water so you wont starve if you get lost, take a sleeping bag and a tent to have shelter if you need it, take a gps or a compass, and if it turns into a multi day adventure then whoopie, no problem.

Just have a bit of common sense about it and you will be fine.

oh and take a notebook and a pencil so you can jot down stuff that will help towards your amazing trip report that I am really looking forward to reading.

The traditional mexican mushroom shaman say never take them in the daytime or you will go mad, always take them in darkness.

I'm not saying I agree with that but it's worth mentioning that people with 1000s of years experience and knowledge of mushrooms give this advice.
