How have psychedelics helped or hurt your mental well being? Was it a lasting effect?

Helped it in numerous ways that would take forever to explain.. The only way it affected me negatively was when I used a lot of LSD one spring and afterwards I felt highly spaced out for a few moths and had a hard time living within society and all i wanted to do was run away into the forests and live on the road with like minded trippers. still dont sound bad to me, haha. It was also the time of my life combined wih the acid though so it can't take all the blame.

In high school I got in the habit of ditching school with my friends to go smoke herb. I had been doing acid as well and still ditching.
It was one acid trip in particular that made realize one day what I was doing. I envisioned how my whole life would play out if I kept ditching and not giving a fuck about school. It scared me so bad I never ditched school again after that.
Started putting effort into getting good grades and ended up with extra credits my senior year so I was able to take less classes and leave early every day.
There has been a lot of other times where it helped me to realize how to live my life in a better way, but that was the most profound and life changing one

i have wondered lately how psychadelics work as the same as therapy making you face hard to see truths about yourself and a hell of alot cheaper than most therapists probly not best for serious problems though...

Used to be literally afraid to be in public, I'd actually avoid being outside as I had the impression that all passers by on any street were judging me or something, which made me feel absolutely horrible 
Am now chill enough to freely dance in public at any hour of the day or night, even to the music running in my own head if I don't have other sources. I have been asked if I have dope to sell, what I have smoked or been called a "fucking drug addict" on days where I had taken absolutely nothing for weeks. Obviously I'm quite proud of these all 
Showed me that whatever happens in life, I mean literally whatever, from dead kids to broken spine or lost limbs, all of it can be overcome if you have enough Ayahuasca sessions lined up. Fortunately I've had nothing more than minor girl issues or mild depressions to deal with, but I'm quite convinced that the very worst rock bottom for me is no longer a pit of endless misery and suicidal thoughts, it's just having to get my ass in gear and relocate for some extra Aya, which WILL work and offer major help. It's a very comforting reality to live in, as most people (my previous self included) have no idea how to deal with some serious shit hitting the fan. I mean what do you do, cry for 28 months? Go to shrinks for 17 years? Take expensive SSRI's forever and hope you don't end up holding a sniper rifle in a church tower? 
Gave me profound meaning and somewhat of a mission in life, when I found out that being a psy artist is an actual profession, open to anyone who puts in the work.
Took me out to meet fellow trippers who I think are some of the most amazing people I've ever met, and have totally restored my faith in humanity and our positive role on this blue planet.
Salvia and others showed me that whatever is out there is much more complex than a regular human head can fathom, and that the truth as it is, does not fit in any number of human books. Thus revealed to me that any one book claiming to have "the truth" is completely 100% laughable. Especially the Abrahamic faiths = pure trolling.
Gave me the experience of being a full human at least for one day, and that's a memory and adventure that I'll take with me forever, til the day I die. No society rules, no bullshit polite rules or laws nor anything else will ever stop me for telling the truth on this one. If any grandchildren, kids, students or anybody ever asks me about the best day of my life, I will tell them that for sure it was on that day at Boom 2012, when I dropped acid for the first time. Having nothing in my pockets, wearing my trusty awesome festival pants that I bought from my first painting, roaming free, mingling with everybody, being myself and being filled with the spirit of this world, the sounds of sincere laughter, the stars, the whatever made the stars and a sense of my place in eternity.
I am absolutely a tripper for life. I consider it as much a part of life as falling in love, having children, eating, sleeping or creating. I'm very happy that I ran across psychedelics, because as they say in that movie, it all came so close to never happening.

Only when its like : "shit I wont do that again anytime soon!"
SUCCESS!

They had a lasting effect. Not necessarily permanent though.
That is to say I can't notice anything major that's permanently changed for the better, or even worse.
Old habits die hard.

Ayahuasca? Well I don't know what kind of doses you're taking but I've been taking a brew by a shaman who's been taking it weekly for 25 years and he brews this stuff strongggg. One cup feels like my brain is going to explode. It's the most maddening brain scramble I've ever experienced. Sometimes it's physically painful on my head. I mean I have fun with my rc's and shrooming and LSD and DMT, but this is something quite different ime
I've certainly had amazing moments but it doesn't come without a total ass beating

weekly for 25 year!? Have you conversed with this madman before? Can he even communicate properly? Is he really super interesting?
I'm intrigued by this

Actually twice weekly for the past 25 years. He normally does ceremonies every Saturday and Friday. But yeah he is an amazingly coherent and peaceful man. It's a little shocking to be honest as that dose of aya never felt the least bit healthy on my head. I mean, of course afterwords, but it always feels like a last resort medicine

Most aya shamans drink regularly like that for their whole life. They are definitely fully functional and coherent. In fact more so than a lot of people I come across in my daily life . . .
