My whole life I have struggled living with Bipolar depression. Some days I'm optimistic and full of energy and can think clearly, and then the next I would be severely depressed and my thoughts would be foggy and unclear and very dark in nature. Even my vision on these days would become blurry and hard to make out. I would oversleep and would even make rash decisions like quitting jobs that I usually really liked. I hated half of me. The half I loved was charismatic and charming and could make anyone laugh with his quick wit. This man was happy and talented and nothing could stand in his way of anything he wanted. The other half was awkward, quiet, and off-putting.This man wouldn't leave the house and wouldn't care about his health and in fact would consciously do things to the contrary. He felt drained of all energy and everything he loved seemed to lose its luster in a matter of minutes. I tried to find help from doctors. I went to therapy and tried countless medications that would not help at all but would just give me other symptoms that are arguably worse than what it is used to treat. Thats when I started self medicating. It started with things such as marijuana and alcohol. This progressed to other substances that only put a temporary band aid on the problem that would quickly wear off and would just make things worse. Then I found a saving grace. Psilocybe Cubensis. I have had many large doses of mushrooms over the years with profound effects. This drug had almost no side effects of other drugs but with many of the benefits. I have recently been micro dosing on a pretty regular basis and have found that my mood swings are greatly reduced. I can think much more clearly without this mental fog that sets in whenever it pleases. Finally I am Able to conquer this demon that has been so prevalent in my life for so long. finally I have a smile on my face that isn't artificial. Finally I can be the me that I love without having to sacrifice so much to side effects of current "cures". God I fucking love mushrooms!

Wonderful!
Glad you have finally discovered for yourself a natural, benign treatment that bests pharmaceuticals in results. Pretty much preaching to the choir on this board - but your experience, set forth so eloquently above, will undoubtedly help others.

I think you did well, but also you should realize that when you are the person who is gloomy, you are still the person who was affable and loved by all. Not every memory or ability (like the ability to be charming) is available in every moment. some moments do not call for the affable self. Then conditions change again. the happy guy will emerge from the mist. Both sides are necessary.

. Trying to nail oneself to 1 dimension of the spectrum of human experience is folly. It would be akin to trying to not to age. And who wants their life to be a song that only plays 1 note, that’s hardly a song at all. Like a record thats continually skipping, Whether its regarding elation or depression. The Middle ground gives balance to them both. I hope the mushrooms helped you help yourself.
