I think you should do LSD. "It is never too late to be what you might have been." -- George Eliot

  Came here to say this. Or another psychedelic like ketamine or shrooms. Tripping once or twice every 1-3 months had a huge impact on my wellbeing, it completely changed my perspective on a lot of stuff and made me better in a lot of ways. I was doing LSD pretty regularly before the pandemic and it was honestly the best period of my life, then I'll admit it really went downhill after the lockdowns. But it can really help assuming that a global catastrophe doesn't get in the way (again).

  This can easily be dangerous advice. The risks include: a criminal record if caught when purchasing; doing negative life-altering activities while on the drug; and temporary hospitalization due to LSD-induced psychosis [0]. Some people also end up taking LSD way too often, though it's not physically addictive, and become disconnected with reality. You also put yourself at a disadvantage with any roles that require a security clearance. These risks can be mitigated, but they are real, and I absolutely disagree that someone in distress should be recommended LSD as a go-to, especially without mentioning these caveats. You can get a lot farther treating depression with lifestyle changes (sleep, diet, exercise, reduction of alcohol consumption), professional counselling, cognitive-behavioral techniques, a reassessment of relationships and friendships, and working on causes of depression, versus LSD as a go-to.
