Can Psychedelics bring back your Excitment for Life? (
    #26361278 - 12/04/19 03:18 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

the past years I saw some of most beautiful countries ,
met many people, did all types of things...

but I can not seem to get excited about anything.

gift me the finest dinner, a suite in a 5 star hotel and belly rubs in the most beautiful location...

I simply feel nothing.


i microdose psychedelics occasionally, had a few medium strong trips
(amazing) ... they are the only thing im excited about in life.


would a heavier trip rip me out of this?
I can handle difficult situations well and am ready to go deep.

what would you recommend?


(i never took any medication , anti depressives or tranquilizers,not interested in stimulants, never abused any drugs)
Im under 30 years old

If you feel ready to go deep, you ARE ready.
Idk if the exact desired result will be achieved, but I bet you won’t regret it.

Hard to say, but it sounds like a psychological blockage that needs to be opened up.

Can psychedelics help? Yes.

Will they help? No one can truly guarantee either way.

What I've learned that the formula isn't

Consume psychedelics = cure/happiness/healing/etc

it is more like

Consume Psychedelics + integration + positive life changes + time = A more detailed map with which to try and set yourself straight

I don't think a heavy trip would magically solve this issue, but it might be beneficial if you feel ready for one. The way you describe it sounds like some kind of anhedonia or high-functioning depression, although maybe you mean that you enjoy life but just don't find it very exciting.

A heavy trip might give you new insights or result in a trip which feels very meaningful / spiritual. Even if the trip turns out to be very intense and difficult, sometimes this can give you a new appreciation for the small things in life. Sometimes a heavy trip feels like it is sweeping away your life, destroying your reality, and you feel a sense of loss for what you had. It can be a good feeling to come out of a strong trip realising the apocalypse didn't happen and the world is still there - you get a new appreciation for really simple stuff like sitting quietly in a cafe and drinking a coffee, or walking around looking at stuff.

So... I wouldn't expect too much, but a heavy trip might shift your perspective a bit. If you feel ready for one, do it :thumbup:

:awesomenod:

I must admit I don't find daily life all that exciting; maybe it's just because I'm getting older and you lose that sense of excitement and infinite possibility you had as a child or a teenager. I feel happy about things, I can enjoy music and books and feel emotionally moved by them, but my 'excitement' is more of a quiet enthusiasm as a rule. Even when I'm planning to trip I don't feel "excitement" as such.

One thing I like about tripping is that it gives me that feeling of amazement, rapture and so on that you don't typically get on an average day in normal life. The rest of the time I'm content to enjoy things in a quieter way without feeling that something is missing in my life. Having access to psychedelics is like having a vast reservoir filled with awe, and you can turn on the tap when you want to. I think it helps me appreciate the rest of life for what it is.

Maybe don't look for 'excitement' in things like a good dinner or a nice hotel, just settle for a quiet appreciation of what you have and try to enjoy the moment as a feeling of inner wellbeing and mild enjoyment without expecting everything to feel "wow!"

Sometimes I find that a 'good day' is when you spend time doing something, you are absorbed in what you are doing, it's pleasant but maybe you never really feel any great happiness or joy in particular at the time, just a sense of contentment that you don't really register. But maybe you come home and afterwards you think "that was a really nice day out". If you live 'in the moment' the moment itself isn't always thrill-packed, it's more that you are engaged with what you are doing and not thinking "I should be enjoying this but I'm not." I think 'feeling good' is often something that just creeps up on you when you aren't trying too hard to enjoy yourself.

A bit of a rambling post... just do the trip, it will be a wild ride and anything more will be a bonus :peace:

thanks great writeup , can defiantly relate.
tripping, even smoking weed sometimes brings back the awe and magic.


I have friends that get super excited and emotional about things on the daily,
these people exist and they are not on drugs.

nah. its the psychs that make everything else seem boring. because everything is boring, compared to psychs. tripping more wont help, it will make it worse.

just my opinion


--------------------
Something there is mysteriously formed,
Existing before Heaven and Earth,
Silent, still, standing alone, unchanging,
All-pervading, unfailing,
I do not know its name; I call it tao.
If forced to give it a name, I call it
Great (ta). Being great, it flows out;
Flowing out means far-reaching;
Being far-reaching, it is said to return.


It's just a shot away..

i've been on this journey for a few years now, I destroyed my pleasure reward system from chronic alcohol and pot use. found nothing exciting in life other than women. when those relationships unfolded I was left feeling broken and empty. I had no joy in life other than my next drink or rip of weed. after a few trips to rehab, working the AA/NA program with a sponsor, trying to get regulated with medications, working on sobriety for a fairly long term, seeing psychiatrists, and doing really everything the "right way" I was still miserable. then I tried Psychs, had a few small doses of mushrooms with a friend to prepare me(i didn't know at the time but my buddy was prepping me up) followed by a concert and my first LSD experience. My life was ultimately changed. it was magic, I felt an immediate release of depression and had a much more positive outlook on life, but that was just the beginning. I've been experimenting with psychs since over the past year, taking doses regularly, focusing my thoughts towards relief from alcoholism, positive thinking and really trying to weed out the source of my internal struggles and have been doing worlds better. I'm not perfectly happy, some days I really don't enjoy stuff as much as others around me. but i'm learning to again. I stop and enjoy nature now when i'm sober, I have always been passionate about cars and now have a couple sports cars to enjoy, I hang out with friends. I go to concerts. i'm slowly becoming a member of society that once felt so foreign to me. I have a family now and they aren't blood, but they love me even though I do dumbass shit all the time, and reaffirm positivity in my life when I do stumble. people who have no clue that I'm taking these have commented on me seeming more mentally stable now and my general mood overall is improved. I think you'd experience some therapeutic effects, but imagine they would be shortlived. Eating healthy is another huge thing. I rarely eat sugar any more, almost cut out pop completely, I have green veggies with every meal I possibly can, Red meat is almost extinct in my diet, Seafood and poultry, grains and starches, pretty much everything natural you can. I also take supplements mushroom mix at breakfast(not psychoactive), flax seed oil, 5 htp, and omega 3s. there's so much more to the brain and body chemistry than simply popping a miracle pill. it takes a directed effort, alot of introspection, and a commitment to life change. at least that's been my experience. for me I had to start loving myself before I could enjoy the world. up until then I was just holden caufield walking around sore all the time, and it's still kinda me, but i'm changing, and it's a very positive and rewarding journey for me.

Sure psyches will get you excited about life.. they can really help you find your passions n everything. at the same time they can also get you thinking that everything is shit. if Im in a good to decent mindset day of the trip tho they usually jumpstart my inspiration and that wave can last for a few days... used to be longer. 
I think I would be in a world of pain if I didn't have long term art projects/ goals n such to keep me going.

maybe you could also use some psychotherapy, your post talked about Anhedonia, thats just a clear sign of depression.
also, do the psychedelics, they are great. the strongest trip i had was off a quarter of a 150ug tab with a psych ward patient.

that trip changed my life!

Hello, I'm interested in getting a kit but cant find one. Would you be able to help? I'm in California.


--------------------
Hello, looking for a psilocybin mushroom grow kit company in Colorado. I have epilepsy and haven't had any luck at all with the pills they gave me. I've been through almost every single seizure med there is. I'm looking to try to grow some for my own medical use cause the drs arent listening or trying to help at all. I wanna try mushrooms because I heard they work way better than these dumb drs pills.

check out the sponsors page here, although I believe spores are illegal in cali so it might be tough getting those shipped in. I know some sites say they wont, others say it's your responsibilty to know the legality.

Mushrooms are a tool.. not a solution. The things that I've found mushrooms do is teach you what traits you need to start.. and which ones you need to leave behind. They aren't going to do all the work for you.. they'll do as good to you as you will do for yourself.

Sometimes taking more is not the answer. Sometimes just a small mild trip that really ramps up the thought processor is what a lot of us need when it comes to such scenarios. Reevaluating yourself & your likes & dislikes can be extremely discomforting.. but usually helps break you from chains that you've been attached to.

You almost seem as if you're sad. Everything has lost its spice. I'm the compete opposite. A mushroom trip showed me how much we take for granted. How crazy this thing is we call life. The conscious brain. The subconscious. Dreaming. Coffee. Altered states.

All of this... that we are able to experience out of sheer luck little to none is what trips me out the most. Life is beautiful. Your life may seem dull & boring.. but at least you're experiencing self. Think about everyone that hasn't been born.. abortions that have taken away this gift of experience.

Its almost selfish of us to say were bored.. when in reality we're living the biggest trip of them all.

Ps - it also helps tremendously to have a hobby or something you enjoy doing on a daily basis that's good for the mind or body. I work out vigorously 6 days a week. I look forward to it each day. Those long workdays and I know I'm looking forward to doing something when I get off. This helps a ton.

Everyone should have something to look to each day. I've always told myself how grateful I am for have founding fitness.
