Now, 3 1/2 months since my last post I have to say that mushrooms didn't cure my depression. When I started to use them less often, it came back and hit me in the face like before. But I recently started psychotherapy and suddenly so many doors open up and I really feel I'm in a healing process.
I think I have all the answers in me but I still need someone else to help me find them. Mushrooms can't do all that, at least not for me.
Still, they helped me a lot, made me more open, reduced my anxiety and gave me moments of joy and peace. That's already A LOT for someone who's depressed. I will always be thankful for their gifts and will visit the mushroom realm whenever I need it.




I'm so glad for you! Have a good year 2024 :hug:

Hello first post here. I’m 49 years old and hadn’t done psychedelics since I was 22. I’ve been recovering from a bad motorcycle accident where I broke my neck and thoracic. That lead me into pain meds which got taken away from me and I went down a dark road.
My roommate got me some shrooms and I got something positive out of it. Then I went down the road of DMT and that really helped me. I thought I had everything beat but as some time went on I started to slip back a bit. DMT was a great experience but it’s so powerful, I don’t want to do it anymore and I just want to stick with shrooms. I’m hoping that I can use them as a tool to get back my passion for music.

I played professionally for years and went to college for it. While at college I would take LSD once a week and play guitar for 12 hours straight. My guitar instructor said, I don’t know what you’re doing but keep it up. Every time you come back you sound so much better. I’ve never seen a student progress as fast as you.

Forward to now I still feel stuck in a rut. Having my passion as a job has burned me out. I’ve spent most of my life in a room or park practicing but I’m too broken physically to perform anymore. I’m hoping that shrooms will get me back. It took years but I’m not in pain bad enough to need opiates anymore but I need something to reignite my passions. I really enjoyed my recent trips on mushrooms but I worry about the safety of getting the right kinds and a friend suggested I start growing my own. I look forward to getting to know others here and using shrooms effectively to better myself and reconnect with the music.

Rick Doblin says psychedelics are a catalyst for change.  Rather that change is healing depends on the social context the catalyst is used in.

On a personal level.  I find mushrooms helpful in connecting more deeply with people I trust and connecting more deeply with myself when used as an adjunct to meditative practices.

But set and setting, rather by myself or with friends, is as important if not more important, than the substance used as a catalyst.

This is why I'm frankly not a fan of ketamine clinics.  We're social animals.  The healing isn't in the drug but how we help people integrate the drug experience.  Yes, ketamine can help allieviate symptoms of even chronic depression.  But I think actual growth and transformation requires a stronger social element than is being offered in at most of these places.

I wouldn't necessarily say I cured mine, because I still have it, but if I had a steady supply of them and I just microdosed with them, I can guarantee I wouldn't have depression.

But yeah on a heroic jedi trip, my depression went away for at least a year afterwards

Been microdosing for a couple of months now and am loving my results. I've just finished weening myself off of an SSRI, I don't feel dead inside any more, I'm calmer, more patient, no anxiety, my motivation is way up, and I've had good energy. I've stopped eating for no reason and have lost eight pounds. I actually got laid off from my job recently and am about to find myself unemployed for the first time in 30 years. It's stressful but I'm not freaking out. I was motivated to get back out there and already have some prospects lined up. Had I been laid off a couple months ago, I don't think I'd have handled it well. Maybe slip deeper into a depression. This has been an excellent experience for me.

Hi everyone I've been part of this community for a few year's now. I've been reading a lot of post to educate myself. I decided to make a post on this subject because I feel I'm very qualified to say something about this. I'm 48 year's old and I have had many life changing heartbreaking tragedy happened to me. From 11 to 16 I was molested in a catholic boy's home so I have a lot of mental issues. I suffer night terrors panic attacks i rarely go in public my best friend from childhood takes care of me 13 year's ago I started to healing myself because as I am getting older it's becoming too difficult for me to deal with. So 13 year's ago I started the journey of rewiring my brain not knowing anything other than hallucinogenics could help me and not knowing anything about micrdosing or how to I started taking mescaline and growing the different cactus that contain this magical substance. I would drink a tea everyday for 3 year's and it wasn't really helping so I switched to LSD but would still take mescaline once a week after about a year or so after I started taking mushroom and I cut out the taking LSD and mescaline and started using DMT every other day and mushrooms in between after little over 2 years of that I was starting to develop a sleeping pattern but still night terrors but I kept doing this ritual every night 3 year's ago I had my last night terror dream and a year ago I started going to town and getting out. I owe who ever gave us this wonderful gift. It doesn't take overnight just time for the magic to work.
That's my story on if taking mushrooms work for depression. Thank you for reading

Thanks for sharing your story and glad you're recovering from the trauma you endured as a child.

Heavy stuff for sure.

As for your comment on being thankful for whoever gave us this gift, I give mine to the plants and fungi.  Our beautiful cousins who help us reconnect.

I started microdosing 5 months ago and they seem to have improved my energy and outlook. I was pretty down, sick of drinking and in severe physical pain due to back injury which definitely threatened my livelihood. I quit drinking and started physical therapy. Doing great lately, upbeat, more energy, and healthier. No way to know how I would have been without the microdosing but no way would I be better off and almost assuredly worse. This was after 45 years of hard drinking and blood pressure that was sending me to the ER. Now I'm 35# lighter(intermittant fasting), and healthy BP. As a bonus I love growing them, great new hobby.
