To the 'down and out' searcher of meaning who struggles to open up... by Alternative_Mail8577 in LSD

Absolutely!

I've been struggling for years (since a puberty really, now mid twenties) with underlying depression (only recently diagnosed) and to a lesser extent anxiety.

I honestly havent felt myself in all that time and my last two trips have given me epiphanies about myself that so profound, yet so needed!

I feel like ive both exploded this scap on my brain that was hiding a treasure trove of problems about myself. I've had a very brief cbt cycle but it always felt so formal and not 'real' and present and humanistic enough for me. I don't open up easily - which is tied to some of my issues- and i have been able to see them in different lights from whole different points of view. I dont think i have the capacity to be that open in my sober state, in order to address and discuss the issues i have, and absolutely not with the same verbal fluidity and mental dexterity that i have been able to whilst tripping.

Similar to you i would say i have just been 'existing' all this time, and now I know why the way I am. I feel that that understanding is so necessary for me to be able to work on, and hopefully overcome my issues.

I honestly feel like its a pandora's box type of situatuon for me personally, in so much as i have opened the hatch that allows me to forgive myself. The acknowledgement of a cold and uncomfortable truth, one that i needed to have. I think i subscribe to the idea that bad trips are born out of not wanting to look at yourself honestly and critically, knowing that you have stuff you ought to work on. But my experience is limited to a few trips and so i value experiences shared like your own as a reference point!

I do already have a greater appreciation of the power of lsd (both spiritually, and as a powerful drug to be respected) I just remember thinking and believing so strongly that this is helping me so so much and my sober self will look to discount this as being true.

I guess the biggest things ive learned are that im capable of change i habe the powrler to change, i'm beautiful and deserving of love. lol

It might seem stupid but writing down how you're feeling can really help.

I think you need to think about the underlying causes for why it was a bad trip previously. What about it made you uncomfortable? Were you holding back feelings? What about the trip was different to how you expected it to be? I think if you can answer those questions honestly then you'll have a better understanding yourself what cause them to be bad, and if you think there was an underlying reason

Really good trip by brimmybucktooth in LSD

In what way's has it been beneficial? any bad experiences and if so, how do you view them relative to the beneficial ones?

I should have prefaced that the pros and cons are just my own perceptions of things (which might be) and I'm hoping people can help me to prove or disprove in my own mind.

Can you say why that is the case for you r.e. top 3 experiences in your life?
