Mushrooms may have cured depression
    #14236380 - 04/04/11 02:14 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

I've suffered from quite severe depression for some time. I never thought it was caused by any chemical imbalance but by an inability to resolve my personal issues. I had tried everything short of being admitted to a psychiatric ward - something that very nearly did happen a few months ago - I'm very glad it didn't, as I wouldn't be where I am now.

On Friday, I had my first mushroom trip in a safe, familiar environment with a trusted friend, M, we each had 15g fresh Mexicana sclerotia. (I will be posting a trip report, but it's 1,200 words atm and could probably do with some editing!)

During my trip, something about me changed. I thought about all of the sources of pain and stress in my life, but without the filter of negativity which I had always seen them through. It was like I had been looking at life from completely the wrong perspective and the mushrooms showed me how limited that perspective was. It's perhaps important to note that I enjoyed the complete destruction of the ego.

I know it has only been 3 days, but they have been the only 3 days I can remember where I feel like I have actually lived. Everything seems brighter, kinder, and for the first time in my life I don't have to lie to people when they ask me how I am. These are things I thought were totally impossible for me.

Has anyone heard of this happening to anyone else? And do you think that this feeling will last? Perhaps I will have to repeat this process occasionally? Something that I really wouldn't mind to do! :thumbup:

Mushrooms have always worked for me that way, but recently I've drifted back into depression, so it'll be interesting to see how I feel after this years mushie season.

Good to hear I'm not the only one, and that it wasn't just a freak occurrence.

I'm not surprised to hear that, over time, old habits come back and the depression takes hold again.

Hope you have a good :mushroom2: season! I'm fortunate to live around a lot of horses/cows/woods so I'm brushing up on my mycology
