Psychedelics wont give you an answer...you just realize things through self exploration on these substances(or without them)

For me tripping has both positive and negative after effects, they have taught me a great deal about myself and helped me with acceptance and self confidence.I had depression for a lot of years now and since I started experiencing with psychedelics they helped me in the long run but whenever I get into a depressive state it is like the worst nightmare...it really is like a bad trip.I'm not sure if this is some kind of after effect or I just compare my depression to a bad trip after having that experience.

Hugging your mind, praying to survive, feeling the love of the hieroglyphs in the sky
We all need more love, and mainly less hate
Hate is the blind that covers the heart's eye
That makes the heart's eye cry
Locked deep away in the skies of our minds

It's all in the mind

I first started using psychedelics after watching the matrix; the blue pill red pill philosophy had me.

However, when I had my first trip it was amazing on shrooms but I had nothing of a real value, then I had another and another still nothing but fun.

At some point, I got sick of it because I got nothing any more beneficial than what I would if I were drunk on alcohol.

Then I started watching some videos and got an insight from the likes of Bill Hicks and Albert Hoffman.

Using psychedelics is not a means of getting an answer randomly; you have to have some kind of intention because psychedelics are mind tools.

Similar to using a vehicle, the vehicle cannot take you anywhere if there is not anywhere that you are going.

Today I use psychedelics for specific purposes such as; significantly decreasing the time; it takes to learn new skills, mainly in business and in sport.

In addition I learned how to control and channel my emotions particularly fear, as I was too afraid to get into business or compete in my sport before psychedelics.
It is all a matter of intent.

Thanks all. By no means am I using psychedelic as a way to completely treat whatever problem I am having. I'm hoping that it can help me see something things in a good way and let me face whatever problem that arises.

I've read a lot about you guys saying it's you who will make the differences in your life. I understand that nothing will be there to just completely turn your life from shit to good and there's always gonna be hard work and dedication involved. But I'm really willing to give that a try with what I learn from a trip...

Honestly, I don't feel like I suffer from that much of a depression. It's more like dysthymia, anhedonia... and I can't feel much emotions. I could smell and taste but I don't feel the happiness out of something that smells good.

And I read that these symptoms could also be apart of depression.

I remember the times when I was able to connect a certain smell to a certain time, or a certain song to a certain timeframe in my mind. It'd give me memories and all but now I have none of it. I was able to listen to music in peace and just generate euphoria and pleasant thoughts alone but now I get none of it. I want to be alive. I want to feel alive but my mind feels like it's cluttered and at the same time, blank... None of the visuals stay with me. None of the thoughts and readings ever really stick either. Talking with someone doesn't make me feel anything because I don't feel that empathy or emotional connection. I try to meditate and stuff but it's so hard because my mind's just so blank, I feel NOTHING at all. I try listening to a song and pay close attention to the lyrics yet I feel nothing. No emotions out of it.

It's been well over a year for feeling like this. Gradually got worse and worse. I've been exercising for well over 7 months (not much cardio... just regular weight lifting). Not too much effort gets put into that but hey, I've been doing it for about 9 months straight. A weekly thing.

I don't feel suicidal, but then again, I don't think I see a point to live when everything's dull. I'm just hoping there's something out there that can lift me out of this numbness. I'm tired of just waking up and telling myself that this is the life I'm living. To feel numb and not feel any pleasure from anything... It really sucks.

At least give me something to look forward to :frown: Music, whatever it is. I'm hoping for something.

But it's honestly good to hear what it has done for you all... I'm hoping for good things to come out of my trips (who knows when) but regardless... I'd love to trip for the sake of finding out who I am.

I'm not tripping for the recreational values... I would, but nothing could be considered recreational to me anymore. I don't get fun out of anything. I'd love to find my life back but with something simple at first. I'll do a lot of research beforehand.

For those who are wondering... My emotions aren't unstable. They're flat. Can't even say I have emotions. They're a bit too stable. A stable of flatness. Oh boy, do anyone think chemical imbalance stems from a psychological problem?

Have you tried MDMA or weed? Do those make you feel flat as well, even afterwards when you're sober?

At first, when I first smoked weed, it made me feel great. I loved it. That was prior to feeling depressed or anhedonic or whatever you'd call it.

MDMA, I tried it less than a month ago and it did make me feel positive and all but I didn't really feel the connection with my emotions. Music was amazing to just headbang to but I didn't feel the music in me. I didn't feel my soul, man, like it's gone :frown:

I can't seem to smoke weed without getting depersonalization or disassociated with everything anymore. It's so hard to talk to people when I'm high off weed because I have to force a lot of stuff and I just don't see the point in anything. I feel no happiness, no euphoria, my mind doesn't generate amazing thoughts like before and I definitely don't feel a clear mind...

Everything just feels so hazy to me.

Honestly man I've heard the euphoric disassociatives ketamine and mxe are miracle drugs for depression

I think you should see a psychologist if you feel completely soulless. Feeling no emotions or unreal means you could have a chemical imbalance in your brain. I just don't think drugs are for you right now. Whatever's going on needs to be solved sober.

yeah cuz psychologists clearly aren't working for "the man"...

the government approves them.. and we all know they are run by satan..

i'll choose drugs over witch doctors... atleast the drugs aren't pharamagikal receptor blockers.

Mushrooms have completely changed me. The only thing which links me to how I was 1-2 years ago is my appearance; I have changed entirely as a person - mushrooms weren't the only factor but they were the catalyst & the initial cause. :smile:

How did the trip cure your depression? I know it's a vague thing to ask but how do you feel different now?

No because without an official diagnosis he can't get a prescription from a psychiatrist. He's already tried the healing drugs dude, and they seem to be making him worse. It's time he looks for professional help, which is unfortunately prescription stuff, but it's not always bad. Sometimes people really do need it.

I think it's because I went into it not really understanding what a shroom trip was, and it was my first psychedelic (I don't count MDMA). I thought shrooms make you hallucinate purple cows and I thought my stuffed animals would talk to me and colours would change. I had taken 2 grams, alone at night in my room. I guess when it hit me, I was in such amazement at how wrong I was that it opened me up and when I went outside I felt my body become connected to our Earth. That gave me a purpose. It established that I belong, and that was very comforting.  My trip was very introspective, retrospective, spiritual.

Afterwards, I've been much happier. I rarely throw panic attacks anymore (only when I'm PMSing lol). I haven't been sad for days on end like before. 2 months after the trip, an ex and I broke things off, and normally, I would've been hysterical for weeks or months. But I rarely cried, I hardly felt hurt. I just missed him, but there was no pain-numbness like there wouldve been before shrooms. I think it was because I knew that breakups were a part of life, and I would be happy again one day. So I was fine. Idk. I guess the shrooms maybe matured me in a way? I just know they worked their magic and I am eternally grateful.

1. Yes, most of my trips have been life changing, as have most others, there's been a study on this.
2. Yes, psychedelics make us more empathetic, there's been a study on this as well.
3. I've never been completely emotionless except when I took Xanax.
4. Yes, they make me feel more creative AND inspired.
5. They do temporarily increase all my senses however the increase isn't permenant although sometimes I perceive things that I normally wouldn't after I've taken psychedelics.
6. When high the emotions can be too intense and rarely when I'm sober but yes, usually in a good way that doesn't interfere with my permanently.
7. YES, absolutely. This is one of my favorite things if not my absolute favorite thing about psychedelics, they are so motivating and inspiring. It's also inspired a lot of interests in subjects that I had never previously considered. Good questions, man.
