lbot1983 said: Hello shroomery, this is my first of many posts. I am, as the title states, a combat veteran with chronic untreatable PTSD and a moderate TBI.
A little background for you. I was in the army infantry 1/506th air assault infantry, CURRAHEE! Anyways, i was an 11n4 aka sniper, airborne and air assault certified and all around bad ass at the time. I was stationed in Korea when the 2ND INF Division was depilyed to iraq. I was in the Al Ambar province from june 04 through August 05. I took part in the assault on Fallujah and dealt with the 1st ever iraqi elections. I was in humvees directly targeted by IEDs 5 times. Nov 14th 2004, around 3am, my platoon gets ambused so we (weapons squad) mount up during our rack time and head out. Traveling 60mph in an uparmored humvee a tank appears in the road, we hit it and thats all i remember.
I was out for 30-45 minutes, my head had smashed into the bulletproof glass windsheild and when i came to i was lost, half the truck was gone, and i mean gone, stilk behind the tank 200 ft away. I spare the horrid details but nobody in that truck was fit for duty after, 1, my squad leader, did not make it.
Fast forward past years of big pharma drugs and new, worse, symptoms to include grand mal seizures, i gave up on the conspiracy that is western medicine. I stopped all meds and treated my symptoms with herbs, medicinal mushroom tinctures, minerals, whatever natural things i felt i could trust. I changed my diet, became vegeterian. I only eat simple, gmo, organic food, usally raw if possible.
In all my physical disabilities have become more manageable, cannabis being the proven med, i can get by without a lot of natural meds but no pot = out of control seizures and joint inflamation. The real issue is, after a decade and huge life style changes im still at a loss with the PTSD. Rigor (sweats and chills) so bad i cant get a good nights rest. Dreams of lost brothers and horrif events. I seem to connect with anger easier then any other emotion but keep it together. Im pretty emotionless for the most part. Dont getme wrong, i love my life, i just do not or can not connect with people at all. I cant be around anyone other then my family. I hate fireworks, they give me anxiety.
I have done lots of reading on psilocybin and ptsd and im going to test weekly micro doses of around .5 grams. Id like to log it here when i start aka when my PE is ready, which ill be starting a grow log for once the first brf jars colonize and my LCs are ready.
If anyone has any experiance with micro dosing for PTSD please let me know. I have a high natural tollerance, i eat 7 grams dried every time and have only had class 3 trip once or twice almost all were 2.
Thanks for serving

I have a bit of PTSD from a rather violent beating by the police.
Not as bad as you though. Only difference now is my teeth are getting fucked up from clenching. You are doing all the right things to tackle this naturally, wish I had better advice but I dont think I can give you a better recommendation as I was never a soldier or saw combat with buddies dying

Sorry you had to go through something like that. Id say advise for PTSD is near none, its all about support. Giving advise to people that you can not relate to is not recommended. Its like saying i understand when you have no idea. Your support is much greater then advise so no need to be sorry for not having any. Hopefully soon ill have experiance with microdosing cubes for ptsd treatment and can help others like you.

It is nearing that time. Pins are forming on 2 of 3 tubs. One is uncased and has 1 good pin and 4 mutants. My first dose is planned for the 2nd week of August.

yes, sensitive means you take in more of the world around you, dear friend.
once self-mastery is attained, this is solely an advantage.
take care and be well, you will succeed in all you do.
about support - Yes! this is so beautiful and so true to see you say friend;
applies in so many cases - opens the universe up, to reveal its secrets.
just to be an open heart, to make oneself available, and share good energy,
this works miracles. . it really does; this peace.
peace and power and blessings and all good to you, and all your loved ones.
99.99.99% of the time, all you have to do is share love;
when you care about someone, you don't care about who is right, you simply want them to be happy, well, safe (always), nourished by whatever their heart wishes them to be,
etc., etc., etc. take careeeeee be well, be happy
