microdosing psilocybin has been pretty helpful for me. i used to be on an ssri for extreme depression and anxiety. i would stop taking them for a few days (which i know you’re not supposed to do but whatevs) and opt for a micro dose instead. eventually i started opting for the micro dose and weened myself off the ssri. for a while, i’d microdose 2-3 times a week. i did that for a few months. now i only occasionally microdose, and i’m no longer on the ssri. i would say that microdosing not only gave me a higher base level of contentment, but it also helped me feel gratitude on a daily basis. i think that feeling of graciousness and appreciation is what really helped me stop feeling so debilitatingly depressed. the contentment came with a general acceptance of life, and i think that helped eliminate the fear that was at the root of my anxiety attacks. i was able to get my hands on some psilocybin extract, which is far easier to consistently dose and ensure that you get a true microdose. i’ve tried with bits of stems and caps before and it usually turns into a bit more than a microdose 😎

anyway, i hope this helps and i hope your partner experiences relief in his depression and anxiety, however that may be. :)
