Psychedelics to cure fear?

LSD motivated me to quit opiates. In the proceeding years without the needle to lean on I had to re-learn my social skills as I had been "out of the game" for so long. Along the way I ran into many anxieties and fears. At one point I was convinced I was liable to piss and shit my pants at any given moment, even though this had never happened to me I was absolutely convinced it was in the cards every time I was with others and that it would be the most humiliating event of my life. I'd say MDMA, LSD and mushrooms were critical to me overcoming these fears. Since rationalizing these fears I have become socially adept, as opposed to the socially awkward mess I used to be. I can say with 100% certainty that psychedelic use was critical to the person I am today. I remember during a particularly useful LSD experience I was in a room of about 90 people, I knew a lot of them. My (at this juncture still incredibly negative and self loathing) internal dialog went something like this right before words themselves disappated as a construct of thought "cantfuck? Cantfucks in the building.. And nobody gives a fuck", that thought entirely liberated me sexually.. I can't say how it's so critical, as ostensibly it isn't. But at the time this was a breakthrough. All of my shame was released that night, it was as if my shamed inner recluse got drunk and decided it was worth it to show the world his colors. This wasn't the beginning or the end for me, but a very critical moment in my personal revolution.
 
One of my best mates who had turned into a very shy, timid awkard sorta guy but then he took LSD and literally turned into a completely different person for the better.

he told me he felt free from all his fears and ever since that day he has literally praised psychedelics.
 
Psyches have helped me, i wouldn't say cured me, but definitely helped me with my fear of death and my fear of what beholds my future.
There was a time when I couldn't possibly fathom the thought of dying so young (had to undergo two chemotherapy treatments during that time) while at the same time i couldn't stand the thought of living another day with as miserable as I was (from all my symptoms from being ill and recently losing a loved one).
I was in the worst mindspace of my life, I had no respect for anyone or anything - but in reality the blame was on me...i felt sorry for myself which only made things worse.
A couple years down the road things got better health wise but I still was carrying all that emotional baggage. With the aid of mushrooms and dmt; over a year of using these tools I have gotten that spark in my life rekindled. Every day I am thankful and appreciative for this second chance at life I am given...and even more so for being blessed with a beautiful baby girl. I know she wouldn't be here with me today if I hadn't gone through what I have.
 
I made my girlfriend watch Killer Klowns from Outer Space while tripping to help her get over her fear of clowns.

It totally worked actually


Amazing the powers of psychedelics and the human mind
 
dude making your guirlfriend watch a horror movie about clowns while she was tripping to try and cure her of her fear of clowns doesn't sound like a good idea. i guess it's good that it all worked out well in the end though
 
^ WOW, over 50 posts in just a few hours, you've been busy!!! Anyways, why do you think deliriants "are more effective at confronting your personal psychological battles" ?
 
Haha haha, I wanted to be able to start threads, and have the Bluelighter title.

Well, deliriants' hallucinations seem to naturally be darker and more surreal, in addition to being more accepted as reality by your mind. Additionally, you have some harsh physical effects, confusion, and amnesia, which all add to the intensity and challenge of a deliriant trip, making any obstacle overcome much more profound and affecting.
 
I think if you accept the death you will be free of fear. I think psychedelics like Tryptamines can help there.
 
^ Agreed, DMT and 5-MEO-DMT can bring you to this realization. The BIG one for me was Salvia (40x). I was convinced that I had lost my mind and that I was always just a conscious/spirit trapped in what was my body. While I was in that experience, I knew that I would never see my friends again and I would never be me again. I never felt fear that powerful in my life, it was total terror. When I came down (what seemed like an hour or so), I never felt more 'ALIVE' in my life. I felt this euphoria that I had never felt before. I felt that feeling throughout the rest of the night and it carried with me for weeks.

One time on DMT I felt like I had died and was a spirit. It felt absolutely wonderful. I thought to myself that this must be what it is like when you die and your spirit is released as I had no 'weight' on my shoulders, no pain, nothing but a free spirit traveling in the universe. Amazing feeling!!!
 
MDMA is very directly effective for overcoming fear but I cannot be sure at all about lasting effects. LSD has been helpful to me in overcoming a general fear of letting go, letting it all happen out of my personal control. The entire issue comes mostly from a traumatic experience I have had with mushrooms, so there's that. More is explained in my trip report I recently posted in the appropriate forum section.

Be very careful when you try to use psychedelics for phobias because they can also create them, I believe the general risk of either creating or exaggerating phobias comes from over-exposure to something. So in other words you need to be able to cope with the thing you fear during the therapy or be able to seek support or a (temporary) escape. I have a sort of phobia for 'creepy crawlies' ever since I tripped hard on acid while being attacked by a horde of mosquitos. I was always sensitive when it comes to touch but ever since then I cannot handle things like that. On the other hand, during my last trip I learned to let go again in general so it's a two-way street.
I believe my personal salvation lies in picking up meditation again, making my body and mind more powerful by training, and on some semi-frequent basis taking medium to low doses of psychedelics like acid. I'm on my way doing all these things and this method has been proven true thusfar. :D <3

So the most important thing I'm trying to say is: make damn sure you go the right way on that two-way street when you expose yourself, make yourself sensitive to these things by taking a psychedelic and trying to try it therapeutically by confrontation. You need to be able to handle the confrontation, otherwise you will be even worse off than when you started.
 
AMT just helped me kick PTSD in the arse. Triggered a MASSIVE scale transformative process psychologically...ever since then, each trip I take on any substance, be it MXE, AMT....the first time I took AMT, something kicked off in a big way. Still integrating it now, and still being hit with new looks at new things every time.
