>>2670416>it wasn't your first time, was it?Yes and no. I'd had a small number of relatively tame and overall enjoyable experiences with psychoactive substances in highschool. But nothing of this magnitude before. I'd thought I was ready, and that I could handle it: I was wrong. I'd thought that my general experience of myself could not possibly get any worse: I was wrong.
>a while ago I was considering trying mushrooms because I have major depression, it was worse than it had ever been, and nothing was helping. I didn't like the risk of a bad trip while severely depressed though.I would definitely recommend mushrooms over the 'stay medicated for life' approach. But if you pursue that course, I would advise taking it very, very slowly. You want to be very familiar with what you're getting into. For example, what I did was I wanted to basically run away from my problems and find an amazing, profound cosmic high to play in, and have fun in. And that's not what happened. What I should have done was to start at half a gram. Then, a week or two weeks later, increase the dose by half a gram, and continue until I feel like I've either had enough or I want to go deeper into it. This would probably have insured me against jumping into things I didn't understand, and wasn't ready for. I.e. a bad trip.
>>2670384Solid advice. I was eager. I was impatient. I was reckless.
