The best psychedelic to "reset" your brain - breaking through anxiety, etc.

Yes, that's true. I have read "The Power of Now" and it did help a lot - I was even worse before! (A couple years ago) I am a lot more mindful and aware than I used to be, but I still feel like I've hit a wall - and especially felt like that on the mushroom trip. I don't meditate anymore, because I'm not in a disciplined environment at all, but I think I need to change my environment soon and start practicing again. I am starting to wonder if maybe psychedelics can only take me so far...
 
id hate to grave dig but i had horrible anxiety and two days ago i rolled and i fell like a different person right now im on 500mg of dxm and feeling great before i couldn't do more then 250 without having a anxiety attack im able to open up and talk to people easier then before mdma is definitely the way to go
 
Unfortunately, MDMA is more of a "one-trick pony" at least in my experience
It definitely CURED my social anxiety problem
But didn't help any other type of anxiety problems that I have

Medications generally are drugs man...
I would suggest DMT, salvia, LSD or ayahuasca. Fact is all these could spin you into a worse place though, especially the first 2 I mentioned.

Even LSD isn't immune to it. My girlfriend battles severe anxiety, and had her first full tab last weekend, and had a massive anxiety attack while on it, continuing on until the next day. I managed to guide her through the rest of the trip, and she was better by the sunday (took it friday night), but you have to be careful, and be ready to face your demons head-on...
 
Dear OP!!!!!!!

All these people telling you NOT to trip to solve anxiety MIGHT be wrong.

I used to have severe social anxiety after being addicted to OC and xanax( I used to help me be social but I ended up shooting up and getting real addicted) I cold turkeyed and changed my life style and got sober but my social anxiety got so fucking back during w/d's.
I went to college and my anxiety got even worse.
I tripped one time and it was just fun(first trip ever.... it was 2c-i, very high dose, 100+mg's)
I tripped again on some 2c-i and it made my anxiety EVEN WORSE.
okay so at this point I'm a twitchy mother fucker, bad social anxiety, started skipping classes because I had anxiety about getting anxiety.

I order 2c-e during my spring break(yes just recently)
I used 2c-e in my dorm, right as I start to get my first alert MY ROOMMATE AND HIS FRIENDS WALK IN.
My heart pounded, I just sat there real still and tried to play it off, for the ten minutes they were in there, I hid under my blanket and said I was pissed off and wanted the to leave
this led me to think I shouldn't be on drugs and shouldn't trip and order rc's in the mail and all kinds of anxiety thoughts I could normally have without 2c-e, but while on 2c-e i felt like i was a drug addicted again.
they left, I felt better, walked around campus and apprecaited everybody being college kids and interacting with each other
I had some thoughts about why i have anxiety and social anxiety and all that good stuff

the most important thing I did was put myself in ANOTHER social situation while tripping, and I conversed because it was thursday and one girl was drunk and I am usually a weird kid anyways.

moral of the story.....
I tripped and made my anxiety worse and even got jaw clenching out of it.
I tripped again and it got even worse, even more jaw clenching.
I tripped again after reading about psychedelics in general and had the most profound medicinal benefit EVER

I swear to god, it's only been since around mid april that I have had a HUGE decrease in anxiety, and I'd like to thank 2c-e and the anxiety attacks I had while tripping.
the biggest part of making tripping spiritual or medicinal or beneficial is INTEGRATION of experiences
after your trip don't just be like "yeah okay"
change your thinking
i don't know about ego loss, but I have had bad trips... AND I CAME OUT OF IT A COMPLETELY BETTER PERSON

thank god, i've wanted to be xanax for months and months and drug addiction scared me, thank god i order drugs online! wooooo psychedelics!
I'll give you some links and talk to you more OP. when i get a chance

I'd go with LSD personally. But mushrooms would be a more natural way to go if that's what you're going for.

Another more natural alternative (and better therapeutic drug IMO) would be LSAs. I'd definitely go with good-quality morning glory seeds. Even the nausea they cause can be a cleansing, cathartic experience for some but if you couldn't face that you could pretend migraine-associated nausea and get yourself some metaclopramide prescribed. It shouldn't be taken very frequently but unlike motion sickness pills such as dramamine (which are designed to relieve the wrong type of nausea) it actually works.

I would defo have a highly trusted sober sitter and start with a low dose and work up so that any problems you have with the substances is dealt with gradually instead of hitting you all at once very severely at a monster dose! Leave at least 2 weeks in between trips to avoid tolerance. This period will also handily give you time to reflect on the previous experience and make plans for what you want to do in the next one. I can highly recommend learning meditation techniques (especially breath control) to augment and back up your psychedelic experiences. It can really maximise what you can take away from your trips :)

Peace, & Good Luck!

If you're actually interested in this, why not read some of the books written on the subject.

Back in the day all the psychedelic people did a lot of experimentation and research to put together ways to use these drugs therapeutically. The best example is The Secret Cheif. Pretty much everyone endorses this guy.

It'll take some work to get the setting of the trip in order, and ideally you'd have an experienced guide. This isn't a with-the-tv-on type trip.
 
There is no magic trip out there that can cure your anxiety, only you can.
 
^ True, and you'll have to work at it over time.

But to the OP, if you are interested in this, keep doing some research, and you'll find that possibly there are some drugs under the right circumstances, with the right intent that can help you.

I find MDMA + psychs to be very cathartic, and maybe that combo in the presence of a few very good friends or a consenting counselor can help. I've had less anxiety after a recent MDMA + shroom trip. Beware of fooling yourself into thinking you're "fixed" just because you're feeling the afterglow though. You'll still probably need to work on your anxiety.
 
I also have anxiety issues. Psychedelics didn't help - and having anxiety attacks on psychedelics is really, really not fun.

I recommend diaphragmatic breathing (saves my ass all the time), a good therapist, meditation, and journaling. But especially the first three. Diaphragmatic breathing gave me the most immediate results.

I recommend cutting down on psychedelics until you feel you have a better grip on your anxiety. The work you do here on the ground will carry over into your psychedelic trips.
 
ChronicHD has it right. The only reall way to solve your anxiety is to take a low does of lsd and think it out. MDMA will only mask your problem. You cant force this kind of progress. It can only go so far. If you want real progress, go with the lsd. LOW dose tho. Im talkin 1/3 of a tab or so. Just enough to get your mind working. You will prolly face things that are the reason for all this anxiety but remember that these emotions are temporary and CAN be overcome. Once you work it out in your mind youl see that youve made real progress. Just ask yourself what makes you anxious or even why. Think it through. Then after youve come to your conclusion enjoy your revelation then try and get some sleep.

Lsd has fixed all my 'problems'. If anything the greatest thing ive learned is to stop worrying so much about how things seem to be now and look at the overall picture. Your in control of your mind. Lsd helps you to see that.

"If we change the way we think, we change the way we live our lives; How we act and present ourselves. Emotions are entirely based on perception. How we react to certain situations will define who we are. Dont let your situations define you"

You don't need psychedelics or MDMA.

They may make your anxiety worse or not do anything at all to help you with it.

See a therapist who specializes in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT (not the cock and ball torture used for a type of BDSM/fetish sex even if they share the same acronym) and get into eating a better diet, daily or very frequent exercise, getting a proper night's rest/getting up the same time daily, and get into daily meditation as well.

tried it all with an open mind. ended up more fucked up. did a lot of X shrooms and opiates im a new man :) fuck mind doctors
 
LSD helped me get through a lot of anxiety, but it did so by making me look deeply at who I was. My first few trips plummeted me even further into anxiety and despair because I tried to hold on and live the same way I was before, while forcing myself to have a new perspective.

What I came to find was that LSD will show you your inner demons, as well as a new perspective, but you still have to conquer those demons on your own. There is no magic cure for anxiety- whatever you're anxious about is something you need to deal with directly.

I was changed by my experiences, and humbled, but what really helped with my anxiety was honesty with myself and communication with others.
