Can shrooms help with depression? by BoomerFreshin Psychonaut

[–]cero 2 points3 points ago

As someone who has been in deep depression a number of times and well versed in the use of psychedelics I'll say no; mushrooms will not end or alleviate depression.

But used properly after you've come out of the depression, yes, mushroom can assist with bringing you to a point where you are better able to solve the underlying issues for becoming depressed.

These underlying issues need to be adressed and brought to the surface in order to come to terms with them. Therapy is always the first choice you have to make, but mushrooms will, without remorse, make them [the issues] crystal clear for you.

This is the danger of psychedelics if you use them without the proper mindset, knowledge and assistence. You don't want to have a bad trip whilst in a depression as it can only exacerbate your condition.

So first: seek professional help, but rely on working through your problems instead of relying on drugs/SSRI's. Certainly, SSRI's can bring you out of the hole, but without cleaning out your cupboards there'll be no lasting solution.

Second: after you've come out of the hole and feel secure again, then you could entertain the use of mushrooms. But the value of mushrooms is greatly increased by intent and surrender. Remember this and decide when the time has come to stop resisting, because right now you're only fighting yourself.

I know that everything is a chore and the simplest thing feels insurmountable but I want to make this very clear to you, IT WILL GET BETTER.

You are not your own worst enemy, and the beauty of mushrooms is that they can show you that you, in fact, are your own best friend.

Good luck, and take care. Things will get better.

Why do you take Psychedelics? by Vantbloodin Psychonaut

Because it's nice to go home once in a while.

How do you deal with snarky people? by strkbrin introvert

[–]cero 2 points3 points ago

I assume the comment is directed at you, or are they comments in general?

If it's the former, you could just ask, "what do you mean?", and you keep asking that after every explanation they give. Make that your joke; forcing them to explain themselves until the point is lost.

If it's the latter, well.. then you don't have to do anything. I'm as introverted as they come but I've learned that not all thoughts and emotions are meaningful.

A thought or feeling may arise in a certain situation but it's you who decides if they're pertinent. When you decide it's non-pertinent the thought or feeling will wither if you do not pay attention to it.

This is something you can learn and as an introvert, being able to cut through your own bullshit once in a while is liberating.

Did you go through with it inspite of the lack of replies?

The story is about selfknowledge and how lack of this knowledge compells you to act.

How do I control my fear? by EtwasGlowin Psychonaut

[–]cero 1 point2 points ago

How am I able to remove that fear and confusion and chaos that I was feeling and allow myself to enjoy the trip and learn something?

Through better understanding of what a psychedelic is; how a psychedelic acts on your brain and how your perception/awareness of yourself and all that surrounds you is affected.

In my view, you need to surrender to the experience yet know what you want out of the experience. IOW, set a goal, or have clear intentions prior to tripping and then go with the experience knowing all that will be shown to you is shown to you out of love.

But it's also very wise to have Xanax or etizolam on hand if things really do get out of hand.

If it's simply fun you're after, don't dose too high but if you want to open certain doors you need to know where you're going, and why.

Prepare a lot more for your next trip, and good luck!

Why is there something rather than nothing? by Electricmlein Psychonaut

[–]cero 0 points1 point ago

Something exists because it does.

We don't know how or why and perhaps we'll never know.

But if there were equal amounts of matter vs antimatter we would've had nothing instead of someting.

Apparently the amount of matter and anti-matter shortly after the BB was slightly in favor of matter, and that is why there's something rather than nothing.

My sister went to a 18th birthday party with 3 friends where over 120 people RSVP'd and only the host, his parents and his girlfriend were there. What stories of complete social torture do you have? by mcartz33in AskReddit

[–]cero 0 points1 point ago

No one has dozens of "friends".

A friend is someone you know through and through, someone that you trust implicitly.

I have three people in my life I consider friends, and I would do anything for them. Everybody else are just people I know.

how safe would it be to bake mushrooms in some brownies to take from canada across the border into the states? by Beadifiedin Drugs

[–]cero 0 points1 point ago

Don't have one. Read it somewhere a long time ago, perhaps on the back of a mushroom container, or on the pamflet that came with the purchase.

Won't the sugars in the chocolate dampen the trip?

At least, I always have, aside from benzos, sweets on hand to soften the trip if need be.

Have fun at burning man, and if you don't know how to properly make mushroom tea, just ask.

In that case I'm not sure if the tea stays good for that long.

But I'm sure you could get anything you want at Burning Man?

Is this for long term storage? Also the oven can't be too hot, psilocybin is rather sensitive to heat.

Otherwise, make a potent batch of tea and transport it as a liquid.
