If you are going to go the psychedelic route, I highly encourage you to do post session integration work with a therapist. I have been dealing with depression for most of my adult life (I'm 51). Psilocybin is a really wonderful medicine, and you may well find breakthroughs on your own, however, having somebody to help you unpack the volume of material that can arise while sifting through the chaff for the wheat, is very helpful. Psychedelics accelerate and amplify the therapeutic process. By taking the ego out of the way, they enable a LOT of material to arise. My first psychedelic experience was almost two years ago with MM and it was beautiful. It didn't move the needle a ton, however. I've gone on to do a guided MDMA session which was really amazing, as well as a 12 day ayahuasca and mescaline retreat in Ecuador. Everything has been improved by the post-trip integration work I've done with either my therapist or in small group integration sessions (check Meetup for relevant interest groups in your area). If you do trip on your own, pay very special attention to (mind)set and setting; they are key. Having a trip sitter is also a good idea, at least until you are a little familiar with the terrain. And dancesafe.org sells test kits to help you test for purity and safety.
