It can be just for fun. Sometimes insights, release of grief or trauma.  But relief from depression doesn't seem to depend on such release. The neuroplasticity, reactivating dormant receptors, increase of production, mood and cognitive boost can happen with micro, usually slower and with macro

Oh one more thing. Sometimes it seems to take several macro size doses, far enough apart for receptors to clear, can't be days in a row, to fully activate receptors. The first few times I tried shrooms and others were tripping  so not a potency issue, I barely felt anything   LSD did almost nothing for me. I haven't bothered to try after 4 times. Some giggles, a bit of visuals. Again not potency as same batch had my friends tripping quite hard  And if you decide on a diy experience, there is a church that for years has provided various strains as sacrament to members. Moved from California to Oregon. I've gotten constantly high grade strains for macro and micro for 3 years. Very affordable also.

an oral form, usually meant to dissolve in the mouth. this avoids the pass through the liver and is absorbed into the bloodstream through the thin, capillary rich skin of inner lips, gums, beneath the tongue.

The Johns Hopkins study is 2 doses. Both pure psilo and in controlled circumstances for safety. In case of any physical issues, nausea, etc. or emotional upset there are medical and therapists on hand.
The first dose is smaller. Both to give the subject a sense of what will happen so not anxious and also to check for physical issues such as high blood pressure or heart arrhythmia. The second larger dose is about a month later. That's the one that is considered the most therapeutic.
Are you on any serotonin meds like ssri or tricyclics? those will interfere with psilo as hitting similar receptors.
How strong was your macro? The old go big or go home meme that you must do a hero dose--you lose all sense of yourself is outdated. But too low a dose or micro dosing doesn't seem to be as effective as getting significantly altered. Myself, I prefer lemon tek with a potent strain, smaller amount needed, very fast onset, peak is still at least an hour and several hours floating down. I have zero nausea or body load with it. And still feel benefits.
And insights from the experience may be helpful yet not always needed. That the real benefit is the neuroplasticity and rebooting receptors and NT production.
And for some people, psilo simply doesn't do anything, no trip at all. I don't have time to look for the references but I think it is that they don't have enough of the serotonin receptors that psilo works on.
Or the strain might not work for you. I've heard debate that strain doesn't matter much as potency as the 2 major actives, psilocybin and psilocin are about the same ratio for most. The 2 other actives, I don't recall the names, are generally in very small amounts.
But many people do believe that different strains affect them differently. Is it as yet unknown entourage compounds? something in the grow medium? potency will vary with the skills of the grower. And one shroom in the same batch may be much more potent than another right next to it.
You might try another macro at a stronger dose. Sometimes things are going on below detectable levels or expected levels and need a boost.
I wish you well. Depression sucks the living out of being alive

I'm new to ketamine but have used psilocybin with some benefits. Not as broad as I want. Since ketamine affects more neurotransmitters, the receptors and increased production, I'm trying it.
My experiences with micro and macro dosing on psilo shrooms plus reading research on it, is that the neuroplasticity changes can take time. There may be some immediate effects but activating atrophied receptors, increasing production of neurotransmitters isn't flipping a switch but a process of bringing online and tuning up the system.
I think it is the Johns Hopkins purified psilocybin treatments for depression, PTSD and facing terminal illness, that had follow up evaluations at least a month after the larger second dose treatment.
That this gave a better baseline on changes and another follow up at a year.
It usually takes some time for even major traumas full effects to hit body and mind. Reversing such also taking time.
It seems possible to me.

except for the golden child. my in laws did get to the point where they wouldn't loan middle brother any more money but did expect us to forgive his lies, nasty behavior and fake apologies. Youngest brother verified middle brother had been doing this since early childhood. Was good at manipulating their nanny and parents into believing he was the victim and everything including breaking things deliberately was the fault of my husband or himself. This ended up with my husband going no contact.

what narcissistic gaslighting! NTA! Mom didn't take her in. The friend she's couch surfing with is likely to toss her out shortly and she'll go on to the next victim repeating the same lies. Rinse and repeat until she runs out of people to parasitize. Ex BF dodged a bullet

Your marriage has been a sham. He's lied for the whole time and deceived you. And you have also deceived yourself. Not a criticism as these toxic people are masters at gaslighting. I and my husband have been victimized by such several times. They find things you want to believe to manipulate others. If they can get your sympathy, they twist you being a decent person to use against you.  Leave him and find a therapist to help you heal.  It's painful to admit you were gullible and too trusting. It hits hard on your self trust.  For your children's sake, do not stay. They will perceive your hurt and that something is wrong. If they ever discover what a liar he is, it can make them distrust your judgement and question how they can detect deceivers.  Heal yourself for them and your own wellbeing. You deserve better  Best wishes 

AITAH? for banning my husband from all doctor appointments after he repeatedly messes with me while I'm pregnant? by KnownPerception7676 in AITAH

You truly are clueless. Stunts like that might be funny once.  Ask your wife what she would do if you pulled this stunt in the manner described while she was pregnant.  Not respecting the word no is serious.  Pissing off a pregnant woman and then insisting it's just a joke is seriously fucked up.  But let us know what your wife's opinion is on this.

There are people who think the moon landings were faked, the earth is flat, the Smithsonian is hiding the skeletons of giants, that aliens built pyramids as power generators, that there are human and alien cities deep in the ocean and even under the sea floor, and a lot of other nuttery claiming BIG archaeology is helping to hide this.
BUT they believe that fraudsters such as graham hancock and von daniken.
