If you're in a good state mentally and suffer from depression (I know - seems like a bit of a contradiction), you should consider finding yourself a source for mushrooms and experimenting with microdosing.
The effects of mushrooms on depression are great. You can research the probable mechanism of action (possibly neuro-plasticity or neurogenesis), but the feeling of being "less affected" by the world after you recover is freeing.
Be careful, be smart, do it in a safe setting. Consult your doctor before you start. If you have a history of severe mental illness, consult a specialist.
- oliwarner 6y agoRe "safe setting": As with any psychedelics, always experiment with a sober friend. You'll talk utter nonsense at them for a few hours, but they can walk you around, talk you out of anything stupid and calm you down if you see anything that scares you.
- kvnn 6y agoThe OP said "microdosing". A microdose should not need a sober friend and should not cause you to talk utter nonsense. The colloquial definition of microdose here is "that which has sub-cognitive effects". Its generally between 0.05 and 0.1 grams for cubensis strains of mushrooms.
- oliwarner 6y agoI see your point, but people are also famously bad at dosing. I'd still keep somebody around.
