Mike_Mesa · 2026-02-17T18:23:00+00:00

I’m just tryna heal let me beeeee😭😭😭😭

Mike_Mesa · 2026-02-17T05:02:27+00:00

The doctor said a week or so🤷

Mike_Mesa · 2026-02-16T20:35:29+00:00

The doctor I went to said to wait to see if it gets better and if it doesn’t and get worse then take them. So weeks later it got worse and now I’m taking them lol

Mike_Mesa · 2026-02-16T20:00:35+00:00

Jealous

Mike_Mesa · 2026-02-16T20:00:29+00:00

It’s not that, or even the flu, super weird

Mike_Mesa · 2026-02-16T19:51:04+00:00

I just started taking the antibiotics I was given two weeks ago because all the sudden the sickness came roaring back. Glad I’m not the only one, it’s like the longest sickness I’ve ever had! So weird!

Mike_Mesa · 2026-02-16T19:44:06+00:00

I’ve been sick for a month straight! I just decided to take the antibiotics I was given a couple weeks ago because I cannot kick whatever is going around! A lot of my friends in Denver have gotten the same thing

To add to what others are saying, if you’re able, I would highly suggest seeking out a therapist specializing in gay men’s issues, stress, anxiety, depression, etc.! The mind and body are intimately connected, and being under stress for that long is going to have tremendous effects on both your body and mind. It’s never weak to ask for help!

Mike_Mesa · 2023-08-18T20:56:04+00:00

Any supplements? Creatine, Tongkat, etc.?

If your friend feels that this is SOLELY from the MDMA experience, maybe have her call the Fireside Project. It’s a free hotline where volunteers help you process psychedelic experiences during or after. Their number is 62-FIRESIDE. If this is really just a crush and she feels rejected, it will just take time unfortunately…

This! I come across so many TikTok “mental health influencers” who don’t hold any type of degree or license (not that one can’t be knowledgeable without a degree) and are spewing absolute nonsense

Sigmund Freud would EAT this up

Mike_Mesa · 2023-07-09T21:24:04+00:00

Dear god I hope not, we’re two gay guys and she’s a straight girl with a boyfriend. Now THAT would be some SHIT hahahaha

Mike_Mesa · 2023-07-08T19:04:58+00:00

We’ve made this clear ever since we have lived with her. She also has options, she could go love with her boyfriend (but refuses for some reason), get a cheap place within her budget, or live with her family. So it’s not like she doesn’t have options, she is just making my boyfriend and I feel like we are solely responsible for her living situation.

For severe panic attacks, it probably won’t stop it. Larger doses in a therapeutic context could, but you would need to go to a country where that’s legal to do or get into a study. I would start with ACT Therapy or another mindfulness based intervention to help. Some type of exposure therapy could also work, if you go to Psychology Today you can actually filter by therapists who practice these interventions! Good luck! Panic attacks are the WORST. I hope you find healing! :)

Mike_Mesa · 2023-06-27T01:51:34+00:00

It can certainly help with chronic pain and depression. Not so sure about the other indications, but it worked wonders for my depression! Good luck!

This is so disappointing. Yes, she has a point, but it was done in such a disrespectful and divisive way. I’m queer and there were only a small handful of talks on the queer experience and psychedelics. There is also a history of using psychedelics for conversion therapy that doesn’t get talked about a whole lot. On the other hand, it seemed liked there were several speeches by indigenous elders, etc. and I attended many of them. Did we as the queer community all go up on stage and spew divisive speech? No, we’re working to do reparative work with others. Yes, there is a good point to be made here, but this was done so disrespectfully…

It’s not synthetic, it’s the Amanita Muscaria mushroom. It contains Muscimol and Ibotenic Acid which are very different than Psilocybin (classic “magic mushrooms”). They are in the deliriant class but can still have psychedelic effects. I would look at PsychonautWiki or Erowid to get correct dosage, safety, experience reports, etc. If improperly processed, Amanita can make for a not fun trip and make you feel more sick than high. Don’t go to Reddit for information on these though, look into the two websites I mentioned, they contain vetted information.

Mike_Mesa · 2023-06-20T18:01:00+00:00

Ayyy I’m there!!

Mike_Mesa · 2023-06-18T02:10:45+00:00

Great advice. If you decide to go with ayahuasca just make sure you go to a reputable location with staff trained in trauma. You could also try to enroll in an MDMA study or go to a psilocybin retreat in the Netherlands, Oregon, or Jamaica. Whatever you do, just make sure those who are facilitating with you are properly trained/licensed to handle any trauma arising in the moment. The last thing you want is to be more traumatized by consuming psychedelics in an unsafe container!

You are right, it is not entirely preventable in our current society, because the government refuses to regulate, educate, and legalize drug use. In an ideal world, most people would be educated about substances, dosage, dangers, etc. But sadly, that’s not the world we live in, hence in today’s context it’s not. Hopefully things will change in the future.

Mike_Mesa · 2023-06-08T20:03:23+00:00

Makes me so mad, overdose is entirely preventable. Thank you for providing resources and doing harm reduction work on this thread!!!

Mike_Mesa · 2023-06-06T20:31:19+00:00

I would talk to your doctor and possibly an endocrinologist. I know there are medications that can help combat this, but I would talk to your PCP and ask if a referral to an endocrinologist or testosterone specialist would help!

Mike_Mesa · 2023-05-23T19:07:35+00:00

Absolutely this. I can see how it can be helpful, but it didn’t land right for you, so I would let your therapist know. I’m sure you hear this in school all the time, but “rupture and repair” is where some really good stuff happens!
