View submission: People WITHOUT depression and anxiety, what is life like?
I've been suffering from depression for a smidge over a year. I've been seeing a therapist and I've been getting better, but it still affects me. Sometimes badly out of nowhere.
Last night I microdosed on shrooms for about 8 hours. Around hour 4 or 5 the anxiety from the come-up disappeared and I was over come with a strong sense of comfort and self awareness. I was incredibly comfortable in my skin and with who I was as a person. I felt whole. Maybe even more whole than I felt before the depression started. I continued to microdose for the next 3 or so hours. It was like being wrapped in a protective blanket of confidence and courage. I became more talkative and self assure. I no longer cared about how I was viewed and it felt nice. More than nice - amazing.
I don't believe it "cured" anything, but it let me live in that space for a while and gave me a chance to explore it. I feel like if I do this semi-often enough, I might be able to trick myself into feeling it more often. I have noticed my anxiety is much lower today, than most other days. I hope it lasts for a little while. We will see.

The same happened to me after trying lsd, the after glow is amazing. I started crying bc life felt wonderful, sort of carried me through the next week and then depression was like “heyy gurrl, remember me?”. It was like escaping a toxic person n then being kidnapped by them. It definitely may help to continue, just be careful about how often you do it and remember bad trips can happen to the most experienced ppl, the most extreme case you may go insane and it’ll possibly ruining your life, so pls be safe. Lsd may be safer if u have a good dealer bc the dosing is way more accurate than shrooms. Idk how different the two are, but remember to drink water too or have a trip sitter. Srry if im repeating info you know, I just want ppl to be careful;; i know some ppl who fucked themselves up for a while.
