Newbie needs some advice.

Hello i had my first trip a few days ago, it was an odd experience and was hoping for some insight and advice if possible.For some background i've been dealing with depression for 3+ decades, had no luck with anti depressants / anti psych meds etc. So my primary goal with shrooms is to help with my depression. I drink most evenings and smoke marijuana all day.
I took 2.5g's of tat ghost lemon tekked, it was a nice morning and i thought i was in a good mood. I hadn't drunk/smoked marijuana for around 14 hours when i took this dose, i didn't want it to effect the experience.
Once it kicked in i felt really empty and much more depressed than is usual. I was going in with a very open mind so assumed that could be a potential outcome. But what i found really strange was how intensely present i felt in my mind, mentally it felt like i had zero changes. Was watching patterns all over my blank wall, but thinking about chores i need to do or that awkward thing i wish i didn't say to someone weeks ago. Tried to do different things to break out of it, movies/music/going outside but i couldn't stay watching or listening to anything for more than a few minutes.
Has anyone here had a similar experience or some advice for having a better experience my second time around?

the anti depressant benefits come mostly after the trip, and persist at least as long as the tolerance, often longer, not necessarily during the trip.

I get the same way. It's been a long time since I had a good trip.
2 ideas. Start micro dosing. And after a couple weeks start making changes.
And/or take a large dose and let your thoughts destroy you. This is one of the ways mushrooms can help people. Being completely obliterated by the experience. It will likely be very confusing and painful but many people find this experience meaningful and helpful.
Your already in a bad place just keep in mind the trip is temporary.

Sounds awful as sit through rough trip to see better come about later date.
Mushrooms might not be your thing. Reading and as see mental health as do now, I so very glad got into mushrooms for sake of getting high and having fun. The psychotherapy like venture towards search for happy pill, yeah, right, find the one that works for everybody and you be in business. Thing is, not just one pill works for everybody.
Eat well. Hit the gym.
Happy belly. Happy mind.

as I understand what you wrote, which may not be how others have read it, you felt intensely present and mentally visited tasks you had been putting off and attempted to schedule those things you need to do while the walls were covered with patterns.
this sounds to me like an extremely successful session
the very best outcome from any psychedelic is to be present, and the enchantment that covered the walls is a lovely thing.
but the gift to you as a person is the ramification of thoughts and feelings to the point of planning to contact people in your life that deserve some attention or something like that.
unless you are a ferengi, this is a good step in the right direction
