how bad of an idea is it to trip when depressed?
    #19366161 - 01/03/14 10:31 PM (10 years, 27 days ago)

is it a really bad idea to trip mussies when you not feeling your peak mentally? i mean iv read over and over that your headspace b4 you go into a trip will greatly affect how your trip will go. and i agree with this also. iv tripped a few times, almost all of them were completely different and i could tell my attitude and headspace affect it. never been past a mid level 3 trip.

so how bad is it to trip when your not in a happy place in your life? i havent tripped in about 6 months and iv been getting the itch. iv had a ounce of shrooms that iv stored from my grow that havent been touched. been thinking about making a extraction with them (i like science and want to make a tincture) but iv been kinda down lately. depressed is kind of a strong word but i defiantly havent been in a good headspace if you know what i mean. and i dont want to make a horrible mistake by partaking, but then again i hear all the time that it can bring you out of your funk and be helpful when your not at a good time.

whats your opinion?

Bad trips can happen when you're extremely prepared and very happy. Good trips can happen when you're depressed. The influence of mindset on trip quality has been somewhat overstated. It does have some affect, but not as much as is commonly believed.

The fact that you asked here probably means you shouldn't, you may be too preoccupied with trying to have a good trip instead of just enjoying it. I'd say wait a while until you're feeling mentally better, there's no rush.

I don't think it has so much to do with feeling down as anxiety over facing reality. For instance, I often feel down. My life isn't very good at the moment. Tripping is like a God send because it gives me reassurance. Just because I'm depressed over the current situation doesn't mean I'm being a bum or anything - just some extranneous circumstances that will pass with time.

Tripping destroys any denial I have and forces me to face demons. This can be rough on a person if they haven't been living up to their own moral codes. However, if you have, it sort of becomes a self-assurance like, "Fuck, I'm doing alright."

Tripping also helps me to look at situations very creatively. The perspective is so fresh and apt to yield optimal results sometimes that it restores my faith in the universe. It's amazing that these substances exist which could help me think of ways of improving myself and my current life situation. Often when I trip, I recognize things that are bringing me down which were white noise in my life; little things I completely overlook which can easily be fixed. Fix enough of the small things and the points add up over time.

I can not speak for clinical depression, if that is what you are suffering from, however. I've only gone into trips with situational depression, and I've yet to ever have a bad trip.

no i dont have clinical depression. as i said, depressed is a strong word. iv ejust been kida hanging my head low, keeping a smile on around people and not been that happy with what has been going on in my life. if i could put into a few word i would say... stuck, unsociable other then unavoidable scenarios, sad, worried about the futer, worried about change, wanting change and just wondering what i should do next.

i know what my demons are. im kinda afraid to confront them, i dont know if they will tell me what i want to hear or sit my ass down and fuck my perspective. i honestly dont know weather to go left or right right now in my life. both have HUGE life changing consequences and im just kinda stuck. i see a many paths going great and the same ones going terribly if you know what i mean. just some major crossroad shit and and im almost scared to see what the shrooms will tell me.

im content but not happy. not to say that im not on the right track. i just dont know what the future holds and am scared to see what my subconscious has to say.

last time i felt this way i was pleasantly surprised by what i experienced from shrooms but its much more intense and has much greater consequences.

im content with stagnation, but not happy. always have been even if its not a good situation. at least i know whats going on and that everything will at least be ok... again, if you know what i mean.

god the mind fuck is so scary. i just dont know if im ready or not.

Well if they are YOUR demons they will serve you. If the are demons that you have around, not so much.

As to the crossroads thing man, don't sweat the big stuff. You don't really have a say in which direction your life should go. You have a minor say in which direction it will actually go, and whether you will end up where you should go. And if you fuck it up, it isn't some sort of pass/fail thing. They'll find you. They'll get what they want from you. There are far worse circumstances to be under, for instance

having a false middleman between you and destiny. Someone who is going to expel a lot of effort to try to influence which path you will take, or at least narrow the paths you consider. This is only a problem if said person is inching you away from what destiny intends.

This is even more problematic when the middle man have a great track record and the best of intentions.

Sometimes you have to fuck shit up

(sorry to make a post about you about me, I'm going through shit tonight lol thank you for taking the time to read me)

It depends on how often you're depressed and how you handle it. Like for me, I have always been a generally depressed person so I am used to dealing with sad thoughts etc. I honestly don't feel like it had any unbearable effect on my previous trips. I mean thoughts come and go just like they do during sobriety.

I think if you're a happy and upbeat person though and you're going through some particular depressing circumstance, then the shrooms will slow you down and you won't be able to push those uncomfortable thoughts to the side.

I was pretty depressed when I tripped a few weeks ago and I was okay. The conclusion I came to is "Keep doing what you're doing, just be patient. If you continue things will get better but people want everything NOW. Be patient."

I have tripped stressed, in an annoyed mood, while a bit sad, while
extremely joyful and all else type of states one can come up with.

Shrooms enhance a lot of those states to make it more clear to me what
they are and i face them in a more direct way.

All states can be handled on 3g. It is when you go beyond 6g that your
mind can start to create new realities for you based on all these
ideas you have, that can make it really tough.

The more you trip the more you realize that you should not take
yourself too seriously and so you relax more and learn from it.
Just be careful with the higher doses when really stressed out.

Keep the doses low if you are depressed and make sure your setting is
correct to make sure the trip will actually help you deal with it.

I think it's a great idea to trip if you're depressed. You have the opportunity to look into your depression and find the answers to your depression.

It will be very benitful but it won't be fun in the end you won't regret it.
