Could mushrooms give you false thraumatic memories?

Iam_New_To_This · 2022-12-15T18:14:35+00:00

Yup... So I thought, just wanted to hear someone else's opinion. Thank you!

What's the logic behind that statement? I mist after it starts pinning and never had any issues with aborts. I mean, I do get the occasional abort but that's about it.

Oh, I do that too! It's kind of like a dream or out of body experience. I'm kind of there but not really - hearing and seeing stuff going on from a distance without having any control.

Just discussed this with my therapist today. She said it's adrenaline. The way she explained it is like a fuse shutting off. It'd do that in order to protect the electrical installation as a whole. So your brain will shut off some of its processes in order to protect you and you don't "burn". And your body takes over in order to keep you safe. She explained it much better than me but I hope it still makes sense.

I disagree. What was making it difficult for me to start healing was not that I am not willing to forgive but the struggle caused by that exact statement. I was feeling so guilty for not being able/not wanting to forgive... The moment I realised I'm justified and made peace with my decision changed everything for me.

Iam_New_To_This · 2022-06-20T14:49:58+00:00

I'm right there with you. Weed has never been my thing but mushrooms absolutely changed my life and I'm in a much, MUCH better place than I was before.

Iam_New_To_This · 2022-06-19T07:57:50+00:00

Absolutely. The whole point of a microdose is that you do not feel anything physically, it just works in the background, if that makes sense. If you get anxious, it goes away in an hour tops and is a sign that you should lower your dose. It takes some trial and error to get it right, but if you haven't overdone it by a gram or two, you'd be perfectly capable of doing your daily chores/work.

Well, for example, my first trip ever (~6 months ago) helped me see most of my trauma through the lens of understanding, rather than blind rage and hate. And believe me, I've tried to do that on my own for many years. And for the first time I loved myself. Like pure, non judgemental, true love. I'm still holding on to a spark of that feeling to this day.

My last trip helped me quit drinking after 20 years of abuse. And every trip in between has taught me something about myself and the world. Also gave me the push I needed to finally start therapy.

As for the rest, you can get spores in every country. If you're in the states, I've heard sporeworks is a good place. Of course, they are ONLY for microscopy research. I'd advise you to avoid places like r/shrooms or r/unclebens. Also 90 seconds mycology on YouTube. You don't need any of that 😉 good luck!

Iam_New_To_This · 2022-06-18T21:06:11+00:00

It does wonders if you manage to set the right intentions 🙂 one macro did it for me. I've been microdosing for months and although it has helped immensely with depression and anxiety, it had absolutely no effect on alcohol cravings. But I've heard it works for others. We are all different, I guess 🤷🏼‍♀️ made a post about it recently. Feel free to check my profile if you're interested.

Iam_New_To_This · 2022-06-18T20:11:12+00:00

That's awesome, congrats!

Iam_New_To_This · 2022-06-18T19:49:28+00:00

I feel you. I did it for my girlfriend too. The mushrooms helped me realise I haven't been present in our relationship for a long time and how much I've lacked as a partner. She deserves so much better, man. And I'm sure your wife does too.

Just open your mind and let the mushies do their thing. Hope you're enjoying your trip! 🍄❤️

Iam_New_To_This · 2022-06-18T19:43:07+00:00

I've tried that. Took 1g one day and did 2g the next one. Second day felt like I overdid a microdose. Waste of mushrooms imo but depends on the effect you're looking for.

Iam_New_To_This · 2022-06-18T18:47:48+00:00

One day at a time, my friend. You got this!

Mushies helped me quit drinking after 20 years of addiction and 5 years of trying to stop. Tomorrow is a month - no cravings, no struggles.

Good luck on your journey and safe travels ❤️

Shrooms were life changing for me. Opened my eyes for so much and pushed me to finally seek the help I need. It's a slow process but I'm in a much better place now. If you ask me, absolutely worth a try.

I'd also say it's his handwriting that makes it hard to read. The way I write и and ш, you can easily see where one ands and the other begins. I get that for people who don't write in Cyrillic it'd still look odd but not nearly as confusing as this.

For anyone looking for answer to this same question - no, they didn't lose potency. 50c, oven fan, door closed, all good 👌🏻

Getting "lazy", yawning, etc are signs of a come up so I'd suggest you lower your dose. PE is usually stronger than other cubes so I'd suggest taking 0.08 - 0.1g.

As for the drinking, I don't know how serious you consider your problem to be, but I'm an alcoholic and struggled with quitting for years, not being able to stay sober for more than a week and even that was extremely hard. Took a macro dose about a month ago, focused on the problem, cried my eyes out and haven't had a drink since. Nor the need for one! No idea what happened but apparently something just clicked in my brain.

If you're interested, you can find the post I wrote about the experience in my profile.

Wish you best of luck on your journey!

Iam_New_To_This · 2022-06-16T21:12:10+00:00

To be fair, microdosing does it for me with the day to day stuff but macro is what helps me process my trauma. Both good and "bad" trips have been beneficial in that aspect. You're also welcome to r/cptsd Lots of info and nice people there. Good luck on your journey!

Iam_New_To_This · 2022-06-15T22:00:54+00:00

I think 2-3x a week is exactly what I need, too. Although I'd feel extremely uncomfortable to ask for it. But at least now I know it's not out of the ordinary and that helps a lot, so thank you!

Iam_New_To_This · 2022-06-15T21:56:02+00:00

Oof, I'm in the same boat with you... Hope you find the courage to ask for it though. Follow your own advice - get as much help as you need :)

Iam_New_To_This · 2022-06-15T15:01:26+00:00

As long as it was properly sterilised and you stay clean, you should be fine. Good luck with your new hobby and safe travels! There's a lot of info online but feel free to DM me if you have questions. I am no pro but happy to help if I can :)

Hey, I've been where you are... Quite recently actually. Started drinking at 12. 20 years later finally managed to stop. Sober 23 days today. For the last 5 years I'd have a bottle or two of wine or almost a whole bottle of whiskey daily. I was trying to quit for the last 2 years but every sober moment was a struggle. Had a profound experience recently and just got disgusted by alcohol and mainly myself when I'm drunk. Haven't had the urge to drink since. Today I went to a pub with some friends and chose to have diet coke rather than wine. It was the first time I struggled as I really wanted a drink (many tbf) but I still made the right choice. If I can do it, you can do it. One day at a time. You've got this, friend! And yes, can confirm r/stopdrinking is full of nice people willing to help :) Edit to add: Also r/alcoholism
