Overcoming depression and anxiety?

I realize that this is not a new thread topic, abut I wanted to do discuss about my case in especial so I made this one. I just smoked some pot after a 5 months break and man, what a relief that was. At first I thought I´d get anxious like when I used to smoke before the break, but nada, felt awesome to say the least. That made me think, how come I feel so bad all the time, after all it seems like not much is needed to make me happier...I have a hard time putting in words what´s bugging me, so I´ll be brief with explanations. I can hardly form a thought in my head ever cause I´m just so deep in thoughts and worries and anticipation of something bad to happen. What I already do at this point is exercising regulary ( cardio, weight lifting), meditation daily( zen, 15 minutes), eat healthy,do some hobbys( like guitar, learning magic tricks, skate, aikido, reading, running, learning french currently), go walking with a dog once in a week, try to be social ang step out of my comfort zome as much as possible ( asking people for numbers and chatting with them, walking up to strangers, going too meetings or clubs, concerts, festivals or joining associations), got myself a psychotherapist...There even seem to be some people who happen to like me are ready to spend time with me I had some great experiences using drugs like MDMA and LSA to get me to that love part and had periods in my life where I felt it for really long times, 2-3 years was the longest. But it´s fucked up, no matter what I do I just don´t feel as if I did any measurable progress in the "love" department that seems to be needed to really appreciate and live in the beauty of this world. Conversations and all interaction with others is stressing me incredible, and most of the day I feel like my mind is picking me with a stick. But I don´t want to go back to smoking pot regulary either, neither microdosing of a psychedelic or meds, that´d be extremly shitty in the long run. I´m considering doing Iboga though. So, can anyone tell me how to get there?

Well depression is a really comblex illness, i myself have depression and anxiety and in about 1 week or so im going to try mushrooms and see how it goes, i read experience from people who had depression that they felt better for about 3 months after the ingestion. (reddit) Psilocybin is illegal and there are not many studies, but recently they did some. Link So its temporary i guess, if you want to get rid of depression take a look at CBT and maybe antidepressants (which i dont ever used because of their sides, but if i could afford a psychologist and he suggest me some, i would try them. When you try mushrooms tell me how was your time and how you're feeling. Good luck my friend!

I've had some wonderful experiences within the field of psychoactive substances, whether or not they were considered psychedelic or entheogenic they've still been quite fulfilling.
But my current situation encompassing my well-being are difficult and confusing. Recent events have adequately caused accumulating anxiety and short bursts of depression, which make cognitive activities difficult to perform. One issue being a chain of traumatic events that consumed my mind heavily, causing constant extremely negative symptoms.
My point at the moment is the relation between drug use and a damaged mind, whether it helps or not is subject to the individual, but for me I feel as if I should overcome this mindset without the aid of drug use. I think the answer needs to be sought after deep in the individuals mind through logical thinking and external aid, such as CBT or assistance from psychologists, and even close ones help me see the light.
But the moral of the story is do whatever makes you happy, if it feels right than go for it, but at the same time take a considerate amount of caution (logical thinking!)
Hope it all works out

In my experience my first and only experience was the best and utmost beautiful experience of my life, and the awe followed for a good 4 months after it.The intense afterglow dissipates after that period of time, and the lessons learned still stay, but very unfortunately when that intense glow wore of I had these traumatizing events occur(wrong place at the wrong time kind of thing), which just crashed my emotions into a wall of bullshit.
