They saved my life, I'm still depressed, but I don't want to die (still don't care too much if I do, but little steps).
There's not a single conversation that I've had where my subjective experience has been relevant to the other person's opinion or position, both with family members and medical professionals.
Casually discounting my internal understanding and experience in conversations pertaining to the internal emotional state of my mind. It's fucking infuriating.
One of the weirdest parts has been the way that mental health practitioners react whenever I bring up mushrooms. They don't say anything - just look at me and wait for the topic to change.
This has happened several times, and with several different people.
The most ridiculous example was a woman who dismissed my need for mushrooms and then chastised me for refusing to slip back into SSRI induced asexuality.
Wouldn't it be better?
Well it wasn't for the first twenty years, so I'm gonna run with no.
- dumpsterdiver 3y agoI hear you. SSRI side effects are frustrating. Don't let anyone give you flack for medicating with mushrooms. Don't even bother explaining it to them if they don't just get it.
- yarg 3y agoI've long since stopped giving a shit about other people's opinions, in that and many other regards. But depending on illegal seasonal mushrooms is far from ideal (even if a single dose is three to four months worth of treatment).
- dumpsterdiver 3y agoHopefully they'll be legal soon all around. As it stands, it really is a hassle in most states. I live in Texas and I'm way overdue at this point.
- yarg 3y agoIf I were American, there wouldn't be a barbeque in Texas that could stop me from moving to Colorado.
- dumpsterdiver 3y agoThe abundance of very attractive people in Texas might give you second thoughts about that. If you're a single guy, going from Texas to Colorado would be like going from heaven to Earth.
- yarg 3y agoThe place seems a little too god fearing and gerrymandered for my tastes.
- dumpsterdiver 3y ago(cringe) Yeah... it's gotten out of hand.
