psychedelics fixed my brain 4

I am a person with previously extremely low confidence, motivation, and self esteem. Ive never had a girlfriend, ive always been so critical of myself i always thought nobody liked me, but really it was because I didn't like myself.
shrooms and REAL lsd, they both tighten the loose bolts in my brain. Never before have I felt so alive, so proud to be who i am, so confident that I no longer worry about what people think of me. And as a result, ive partially achieved something I really thought id never have.
It just goes to show you how assbackwards our society is. they prescribe garbage antidepressents instead of something that could really work. Anyone else have similar experiences to share?

Not exactly. However I have heard of many many similar stories.
Psychs helped me in a different way. I was social and confident and had gf's, but in high school I did not really give one fuck about doing good in school. I would ditch to go smoke pot with my friends.
All it took was one acid trip in which I saw the different paths of my life laid out before me and realized if I kept down the same path it would lead somewhere very dark.
I went from F's and D's to graduating with extra credits so I was able to drop some classes my senior year.

I'm so glad you had such a positive experience with psychedelics! My boyfriend ate mushrooms and to me, he is a nicer person to people now. He used to be kind of a jerk to people and would get a huge laugh out of it. I guess mushrooms made him realize being an asshole isn't cool.

Psychedelics are great they open up your mind and make it so much easier to peer through it all.

He wasn't an asshole to me, lol and we are still dating. He was a class clown in high school, and he would always make everyone laugh, but it was always at somebody's expense

yup, LSD fixed my brain
:-)
it needed a reboot, for over 10 years was careless about myself before doing LSD for about that time period, it was reversed completely from one day to the next (although I had to process all my problems first, took maybe a year before I was able to let go)
LSD is best IMO, but shrooms if you cant find LSD LSD+nature+psytrance

Yeah man. Same thing happened to me when I first tripped some years ago.
Last week I found some acid, which I haven't seen in years. At this time my state of mind was sinking and I felt like I was falling into a depression. So anyway, I tripped and I feel like I remembered something I had learned the last time I tripped back in the day. So yeah, psychedelics can really have position effects in your life.

Beautiful! SO glad they have been tools to help us in one way or another. I always feel refreshed, shook to the core, alive, grateful after a psychedelic session. I also feel they helped me focus and prioritize myself in school. Also be open and loving. Once these aspects are awakened inside the self it is up to us to continue to develop and expand on them.

Mushrooms definitely made me a happier person. I stopped taking all my doctors medication and only tripped once every 10 days or so. Usually my dose was only around 2 or 3 grams.
I found that mushrooms worked better than any other anti-depressant I had ever been on and the side effects were none.

Psilocybin mushrooms have made me face a lot of things that were in internal that i really didn't think or know needed fixing. It made me more aware and opened my eyes. It turned me inward and made me look at myself in some what of a prejudice way. When we are sober most of us tend to have barriers to things we don't like about other people and mostly ourselves. Let it be issues with anxiety or trouble with relationships. I have found myself accepting these things,fixing them, or realizing change is needed in general for me to live happier,healthier, and always smiling. It made me realize that I am a significant part of this universe no matter what is going on.
Glad you had some positive outcomes with psychedelics my friend!

Yeah I feel "refreshed" for lack of a better word after using both mushrooms and LSD. I notice myself to be more open to different concepts, or understand them easier. I also notice I am more thoughtful of myself and others and better at seeing things from others perspective for a while after.

Yes exactly! Refreshed. That's the exact word I used to describe my experience a week ago.
Psychedelic always help me prioritize and get my head straight. They always let me know if what I'm doing in life is the way to go or not. Helps me see things clearer.
I'm gonna share a fucking awesome experience I had about a week ago. Over time, I got my dad yes my father to be more open minded. Up until last week he wasn't talking to me because of some things I did. I was getting sad that our relationship is broken. But then I found some acid and I asked if he wanted to trip. He had been wanting to try it for a while so he did.
We both took 2 hits. You know what happened? We started talking again. When we were tripping, we had a few laughs together. And since then, my dad has been talking to me. We're friends again. I'm telling you guys, we didn't talk for months before this and I honestly thought we might never have a good relationship ever again. But acid repaired it. So FUCK anyone that says there's no use for it! I've seen first hand what it could do.
Sorry if my typing seems weird. I'm on a tablet and it's so weird to type on.

Wow that is awesome! It is crazy how the stuff that really helps is illegal but other crap that does nothing or if it does anything it hurts us they push down our throats. The main reason is money. Not to say that is all of the reasons. I mean there is always a few people that are idiots that definitely hurt the cause.

Actually I just read a little while back about how the Army is doing studies on the effects of Psilocybin can actually reverse the damage done by blast injuries to the brain. Im a vet who got blown up one to many times and have very minor lesions in the brain caused by the blast and shockwave. And thats actually why Im beginning to get into the shroom spiele at all. But after hearing how much they affect you all Im really looking forward to my first flush! Also I hear their good for cluster head aches. heres hoping those stories hold water!

That's awesome to hear. Makes me happy that the GOVERNMENT is becoming just a little more openminded. I know there's a lot of therapeutic benefits to mushrooms.
I thought you were gonna say that they're using it for PTSD. I can imagine shrooms helping an individual sort out the trauma from that. I think there's even been a study done on that? But as for healing lesions, that would be amazing. I hadn't considered that they could have a physical effect like that, just psychological.
And as for cluster headaches, they are proven to work. Actually I think they work better than any other medicine. If I'm not mistaken, the drugs used for that by doctors are tryptamines.

What kind of pain are you referring to? I have various pains all throughout my body and they actually do help with it, though not enough to warrent taking them unless I want to trip. They work better than otc analgesics for sure which do absolutely nothing for me.
