    goodness, the few days after a psychadelic trip feel so refreshing. Temporarily free of executive dysfunction, temporarily free of anxiety, temporarily just purely happy with a positive outlook ahhh, wish it lasted longer :(

    so far no psychiatrist prescribed drug even compared to that feeling for me, well mostly because all those anti-anxiety meds either didn’t work or turned my anxiety into panic attacks lol

    put down the phone when you get the message and all that, but dang is it a good way to break out of the usual struggle once in a while

      Yeah, the anxiety and paranoia thing weakened for me a year ago after I took shrooms for the first time. The strength of the social anxiety and paranoia hasn’t come back, permanently weakened I feel.

        hey that sounds great! :) for me it was suddenly being capable of saying no to people

        i will never forget the moment it happened. it was (i think) slightly before ego death, but as my eyes were closed i saw myself looking at myself in the void of my mind, and the other me looked me in the eyes and said “love yourself more”. Then couple days later i realised i was capable of saying no to people, and prioritising my own wellbeing over people pleasing!
