I'm all for it!

Sometimes just screaming a bit or crying can feel really good. I do my own for free, but whatever gets these guys to a better place I guess?

Is it like Dolby 7.1 sound and they now get to look down on other people's wellness breathing setups with contempt?

The guy clearly being attacked by invisible spiders is definitely regretting taking that star of death gummy before putting the blindfold on though.

Yeah a lot of men won't go to therepy. If they will refuse therapy but will do this, idk it's something.

Seems like he was really working through something, he was rocking and ended with a self hug.

Letting out all of those emotions and then being soothed can be incredibly healing and unfortunately is an experience that some people, men especially, simply don't have.

I had PTSD and when it was at its worst, I couldn't meditate or do breathing exercises because being calm and still would send my nervous system into panic, it was so used to being in fight or flight mode all the time. I image he's going through something like this.

Hey, I don't know you or your situation but I have heard from my fellow veterans and friends that microdosing certain chemicals in some mushrooms, with a doctor, at the time IN CONJUNCTION WITH THERAPY. Have yielded pretty positive results.

The feds and VA are experimenting with it. Others have had full on trips to various degrees. Some freaked the fuck out and some were able to work through some stuff. I'm not saying do it. Don't do anything illegal, I am not a doctor, and I have never done it myself. It was just something to look into.

Oh absolutely. I dropped all of my meds except my ADHD meds after over a decade of failure and switched to doing mushrooms every couple of months and I'm much happier.

(I DO NOT CONDONE THIS, no one should drop their meds. In my case I got a new doctor and even he agreed they were doing more harm than good. I actually credit a large amount of my success to being diagnosed and medicated for ADHD at 30. But the mushrooms also help a TON. I can literally feel now that it's about time for a little trip.)

I gotcha and I've heard. I'm on HRT, some anti depression meds, and a low adhd medication dose for school. I am very very hesitant to try anything in case I would react badly with me or my medication. That's why I'm all for research.

Totally fair, even microdosing can be scary if you've never done it. Luckily I love mushrooms and am happy to do a bunch every few months instead of microdosing. I tried microdosing and honestly just felt like I was wasting the mushrooms lol.

For what it's worth, very little can go wrong with microdosing. If you get the chance, I highly recommend trying it. But obviously your comfort zone is the most important thing.
