Microdosing everyday for the last 2 months (adhd,ocd) 5

I am mind blown at the effectiveness of psilocybin.
I struggle with a lot of anger issues over very simple things sometimes like very trivial things while maintaining very calm in the presence of actual crisis.
I also struggle with major focus issues combined with horrible memory to where it actually affects my daily life making it difficult to accomplish basic tasks.
I have also always struggled with impulse control and learning to curb compulsive behaviors.
It's like everything I have bottled up comes out in a bout of rage when I spill a bowl of cereal or something.
Coming off the road from being homeless for 7 years did a number on my brain in terms of reconditioning it to be in a constant state of survival.
I have struggled with alcoholism, heroin addiction, benzo addiction, meth addiction, pcp addiction. Just general poly substance abuse issues my whole life.
I have since been clean off all of these things except the occasional beers every now and then (or a bottle for special occasions) for over 3 years now but still struggle with the symptoms I was masking.
Psilocybin has allowed me to analyze these problems in great detail and start to get to the root source of these issues to try and prevent future symptoms from reoccurring.
I never thought Psilocybin would work considering I have been very resistant to therapies, meds, treatment programs (voluntarily and involuntarily) for as long as I can remember. I've also only every "tripped" off them in the past and have had a handful of bad experiences that actually detoured me away from psilocybe mushrooms altogether for years.
It was only recently I decided to give this a shot as mycology has always been a true fascination of mine and I've been somewhere long enough now where I was able to reignite my lost passion for growing fungi. I am by no means an expert but I am finally able to resume where I left off and continue on the road to becoming one someday hopefully.
But of course over the years I had heard of people successfully microdosing on psilocybin to treat mental disorders they've been struggling with for a long time.
With nothing left to lose and only time I decided to give the psilocybes another go and I am glad i did.
What Psilocybin has done in these 2 months of taking small amounts everyday (haven't really been keeping track but always under a half gram.) Has taken away my anger response to certain daily frustrations. It's helped me learn how to approach life in a different way to not find myself in the previous mindsets I was before that would trigger relapse or emotional meltdowns.
I'm truly releived Psilocybin is something that exists and I am very happy with the results.
I can't say the same for everyone but it is definitely one of the best medicines I have come across and owe many thanks to the shroom gods.
Love you all and that is my rant on microdosing

That's awesome, you should give yourself some credit too it's not all mushroom. I think it's great that microdosing can make stressful things easier to handle or even calming in different situations

This is encouraging to hear, thanks for posting. I too have been Micro dosing with positive results for the last couple of months. I still have more anxiety than I would like but am finding increasingly creative ways of approaching challenges. I find myself looking at things from multiple perspectives more frequently. I have been following the Stamets Stack protocol using 100mg of Niacin and 1gm of Lions Mane in conjunction with 125mg of shrooms daily, 5 days on followed by two days off. I'm going to try upping to 200mg of shrooms daily to see if that dose has a more positive effect on my anxiety levels. I have also decided to grow my own medicine (Reliable Spores Mexican Dutch King) which I intuitively know will have positive effects.

Thank you for sharing. Vulnerability is a true strength. I’m glad you’re taking control of your life and that mushrooms are helping in the process. Based on what we now know as the default mode network and psilocybin’s impact, I notice that at lower doses (250mg) I can feel my mind literally fighting itself and my normal or should I say “typical” thoughts. For about a year, that was a real struggle for me, I always felt awkward and in my own head too much. Almost uncomfortably at times. Lately, I’ve come to welcome that feeling. It’s made me realize that a lot of my daily thoughts were negative. One thing I’ve battled with when stressed or anxious is pornography. It’s always been an outlet for me and sometimes a micro dose can trigger me into it actually. However, I’ve fought it like hell lately and I’m 66 days porn free now. Not for everyone I know but I was always the type to go down a dark lonely porn rabbit hole. Keep doing your thing and the community is here for ya!

I've been in a horrible place in early 2015 after a LSD + MDMA trip gone wrong, shrooms got me out of there. Good to hear others have success with them. 
Also I've read some study a few years ago, where they've tried full doses (can't remember the exact amount) and 250µg psilocin for OCD and found significant benefits, full doses had a long lasting effect, microdoses something around 3 days.
I don't find shrooms much useful for ADHD, better than nothing or just coffee (and ADHD meds feel dirty for me anyway), but only marginal improvement in motivation, though there's quite a mood lift (hitting a DMT vape pen is even better for mood stuff, at least for me). Maybe try LSD for ADHD too? Turned my life quite around in 2017. Though microdosing LSD daily isn't that great (tolerance...), I do one day on, one day off, 1/8 105µg tab (I cut them into equal sized triangles, works with my source, they seem to be laid even).
