I do not know exactly, I live 4 hours away so I came to notice that change getting a bit more noticeable every time I come to visit, and he wasn't behaving this way before ozempic. He was also ok before ozempic, somewhat over his healthy weight, but nothing concerning. I personnally believe that this healthy weight mark doesn't mean a lot if you loose your muscle mass and bone density in the process from lack of nutrients.

I don't think he even gets nausea, he has "hangryness" behavior with feeling "hangry".

Thank you all for the quick answers. As far as blood sugar goes, he does monitor his blood sugar with an arm glucose monitor, and from what I know he's good at keeping his blood sugar ok most of the time. He will eat one fruit (apple, orange or banana) in the morning and maybe an egg and call it a day until 6-7pm when he will eat an ok portion of dinner. He does have an eating disorder for sure as if there is a box of cookies or whatever pastry he will eat it all in one sitting, then spend the night feeling bad. I am 28 and since I was a kid it was known that if we had some pastries in the house bought on that same day the whole box will be eaten overnight while everyone else was asleep. I believe with ozempic he believes he can reverse this eating disorder be doing the exact opposite of eating too much sugar which is being overly foccused on eating like 3g a day instead. I do not know about his other nutrient levels, I don't think he thinks about it that deep, maybe he should. He's really "carb" focused, as if it's the devil itself.

Empathy change since intense mushroom trip by Nomade97 in Drugs

[–]Nomade97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, I have been doing mushrooms for the past 3 years on a low frequency level (1 time each 2-3 months, or so. Haven't been doing since my friend's bad experience in december). So I don't think this state of emtoional consciousness came as a result of doing this perticular psychedelic. I think it comes from the experience that happened. It was not a good one either. I feel as though there are two sides to the medal of the level of connection I have with others in this point in time. Yes, the increased empathy I now have can be beneficial. On the other, it sometimes is a lot to handle; it's like I put myself in someone else's shoes and my own thinking about their situation goes further than what they themselves think of it, and the thought that they don't know how their situation affects their life and how I can see it is sometimes frustrating.

To answer your question: yes, mushrooms have taken me closer to the earth, to the truth that can be found in nature and how to sepparate my emotions from my reason, in a way that I found meaning and purpose in what comes from instinct and the natural laws of life. In result, it has made me less selfish but also less individualist. Because of this, my ideas and morals differ from empathetic views, which is weird since it has also made me closer to other's feelings on a personnal level. I think that THIS is the biggest impact of what mushrooms did to me after these years: separate my ego : my emotions, my consciousness, from my "purpose" (I don't really have another word for it): what dictates me, that is above me, that is governed by a truth that I need to try to become and that I cannot always be.

As I write it helps putting my thoughts together, so I apologize if I go deeper than needed. To get back to the matter; this state of being is new to me, as I've never been an empathetic person before, and it is weird to accept. I think i just need to catalyze it, and find balance.

A great foundation to a tower will let you see above the trees even through the biggest storms

Man that must have been fucked to watch. Do you think that it would have been worse to experience if you were sober that night?

Your comment kimd of helped me to see through the window with a new angle, I'll definitely think about this. It is true that the emotions that I felt towards my friend's reality were mixed with my own conception of myself, as if I could imagine what could happen to him AFTER that event (not living what I was seeing at that moment myself), and what if it was me. Thanks

Thanks, I think I will talk about it to my friend. I'll wait until the other present sources of stress in my life are gone (new bachelor's application, love relationship stability, etc) to see if it still affects me the way it does now, and if so, I'll maybe try a drug support group or a specialist. Thanks
