Like the title says, I have switched to shrooms as an alternate to antidepressant drugs. I was experiencing some seasonal depression symptoms and went to see my doctor. She prescribed me Trazadone. I had horrible reactions to this medication. It felt like I was having nightmares during the day. I would come out of daydreams completely distraught and felt psychotic. My doctor recommended a holistic approach including meditation and acupuncture. I began acupuncture but did not like it. I started meditating daily and have a decent daily routine. I wanted to try shrooms, because I heard they could really boost the effectiveness of meditation and push my goals for alleviating depression symptoms. I finally got a connection for shrooms, and although they are quite pricy I decided to start a monthly regime to see if I noticed a difference in my symptoms.

Well I have had some amazing journeys over the past year, but I can definitely notice the differences in my symptoms. I would say shrooms have given me a clearer thought process. I don't get sucked in or lost in my thoughts anymore. I have greater ability to notice patterns of thinking that get me thrown off track. I have even gotten to the realization that some of my negative thought patterns are deep within my own heredity. This allows me to break the chain of negative thought patterns that have plagued my family for generations.

I am going to continue my monthly shroom regime and see if I notice more improvements in my awareness of thoughts.

Hey everyone, I’ve only grown in grow bags and I was wondering if anyone had any general tips regarding that kind of grow.

I read that microdosing works best after doing a full dose the first time. Has anyone found this to be true in your experience?

A thing of beauty in my eyes. Looks like spray paint.

Long story short - mushrooms showed me, I’m still accepted and okay. I had a TBI growing up - let to a slur of pain and hard times. Pack trauma on that and it was a recipe for disaster. I was ready to abort. Nothing worked to cure all the MDD and suicidal tendencies.

Mushrooms - worked. Cured it all. Road the beautiful life for about 2 months and BAM - sub conscious unlocked. Ohhhhh the trauma. Mushrooms and meditation, 2 beautiful things, we’re now bringing me so much pain and heartache. I dropped mushrooms but continued to meditate however. Talk therapy was a major savior as well. So much happened in my life and I had no clue any of it happened. The TBI and brain prevented me from seeing/feeling these events.

Fast forward to a much healthier and stable brain - it became curious…. I ate mushrooms again. The universe quickly reminded me it loved me and that it was sorry for putting me through the pain. It showed me I needed to know these things that happened in order to fully move forward in this time on this big as rock in space. It reminded me I and worthy of living. It reminded me I am a good human. It reminded me I can be thankful and smile. Something that caused such great pain, has also told me I am worthy of life.

I was scared af to eat that shit again after it unlocking all these memories. But here we are, back to enjoying the beautiful mix that they can project through our eyes. I was never ready for all the bad shit to be unlocked, especially after it curing alllllll my TBI issues. I felt betrayed. But going through the pain - they have rewarded me with all the unbelievable feelings.

So - hate you, but also love you - mushrooms. The end. Hope everyone’s having a beautiful time dosing today!

Is this contam or mycellium

• "why would you ever make a building?"

• "people are so judgy, like go eat a mushroom"

• "why would you ever wanna go somewhere? everything we need is in this room!"

• "people are so specific when all we need to do is just BE"

• "why would you ever wanna put humans in one place... like a building? we could all be frolicking in the meadow, but people had to make jobs, fuck them!"

*we shared these thoughts laying on the floor staring at the ceiling, to which I was seeing Alex gray type art and kaleidoscopes, then completely left my body and became the room we were in, and then that room became the universe so we stayed there for many hours refusing to go anywhere else. fun times

I haven't grown for a while. I almost forgot how satisfying it is when you start to see the literal fruit of your labor. This was a LC that was gifted to me. Supposedly Tidal Wave, maybe albino? Trying an automated monotub for the first time. So far I'm really liking it!

Just curious, what’s your favorite strain/s?

So I just pulled my first flush of Jedi MF, dehydrated and now ingested 3.5. Little worried but ready, I haven’t done this in over 5 years and a friend got me back into the mycology aspect. So any advice or tips on something to do while taking this trip would be greatly appreciated

I wonder if it really helps studying. It sounds a bit like a placebo effect, and if you‘d take a noticeable dosis it would probably distract you from studying. Whereas people working in STEM or silicon valley jobs often swear on it…

So, I grew my first ever shrooms and was tripping like every other day and would take a longer break, like a week. A few weeks ago I noticed every time I bent over, look down or just look a certain direction I get lightheaded and dizzy and some what feel like I'm going to pass out.

I've also been seeing words warp around a little bit as well. Could I have given myself hppd or serotonin syndrome? I take Prozac and skip a few nights of it to trip. Skipping my meds and taking shrooms instead isn't a smart idea to begin with. I know I should ask my doctor instead of reddit which I probably will, but I just wanted some opinions on this. I've never had this happen to me before I started taking shrooms so I think I gave myself serotonin syndrome...

can you make me laugh

I got a half ounce and i dont want them to lose too much potency

Check out our shroomy adventures at Shambhala Music Festival. 3 Days of tripping, last day got a bit draining near the end. Enjoy! Here's the link https://youtu.be/PzpEDyTL74I?si=7sShmdOutu01WyZC

So I tried writing out a story on my first encounter with shrooms and the funny man who brought them too me, but halfway thru the post I somehow deleted half the writing, guess it wasnt meant to be shared.? But ya i use to live in japan and had my first shroom experience there, its been about 8 months since my last trip back in japan. now I live in italy, Im moving back to the US in about 2-3 weeks and cant wait to trip again. Im gonna go back in with roughly 1.5g (probably golden teachers). this point is pretty pointless just wanted to share

Hey guys! I am actually new to Reddit so I’m not sure if I’m doing this right lol. I lost my job in may of last year and ever since then I feel like life has gone downhill. Me and my ex broke up a couple months ago and he’s been make my life a living hell.i had to give away my 2 dogs because I couldn’t give them the attention they needed because I was working 3 jobs to cover bills and he didn’t wanna take them with him.just 2 days ago I lost my job due to it not being busy enough.its been taking a very big toll on me and I haven’t felt so sad in my life.long story short I’ve thinking about trying shrooms because I’ve heard it’s good for your mental health.i have done mdma before but I’ve also heard they’re both completely different. I’ve been looking at Reddit and a lot of people say different things. I just need some advice on what to expect and what being on shrooms feels like and what’s the pros and cons of it.Thank you so much in advance!

What kinda mushrooms are these, they were sold to me sitting in stock for 6 months. Late last year I ate half of a quarter waited 3 hours nothing, ate another quarter and it gave me a very profound but relatively short trip.

Do older shrooms take longer to kick in? They are playa v apparently, but couldn't find any information about them.

Is this common or what?

I did shrooms yesterday and I still feel little upset in gut one day after. Anyone else experienced this?

When I'm running my PC I do it on a $200 restaurant grade hot plate. But, it barely reaches 15psi, and if I'm sterilizing anything, it always dips just under 15psi after 1.5hrs.

I have it plugged into a surge protector. Would plugging it into the actual outlet get more power? I've seen lots of other growers use this hot plate, so I'd be surprised if the hot plate is the culprit

Ok so this is my first proper redit post so sorry if it’s a bit jankie

So I’ve never done shrooms I’ve only done acid n weed My friend however has done shrooms before so I have a trip sitter

In Tuesday I’m planing to have my first shroom trip I’m getting 7g total taking 2g each with my friend However I do not have a scale and I don’t think it’s a good idea to eyeball it

The strain I’m getting in albino penis evey if anyone could give me any sorta expectations or things to do and not to do

Also side note what foods are good when I done acid sour patch kids the wee watermelon ones where the best most sensational thing I’ve ever had but I couldn’t handle meats (like I was thinking about becoming vegetarian afterwords,but a man loves his chicken nuggets) Im thinking just fruits

Thanks for taking the time to read this if anyone has any advice tips or anything to say would be much appreciated thank you all
