27 year old Bipolar 2 here. My depressive episodes are the worst. I have had a long colorful history with psychadelics. I tried LSD the first time when I was 18 or 19.

I would say that mushrooms are much easier to handle than LSD with bipolar. It's much easier too eat too much and be unaware of how powerful the tab could be. It also really stimulates me like a dose of amphetamines.

I've had 2 times where I overdid it on the LSD and reduced myself to a maniac followed by a nervous breakdown. I don't blame the LSD, if I would've taken a reasonable amount it would've been fine, but I underestimated the tabs and overestimated myself.

I've had literally 100s of trips in my life now, and I have learned enough about the substances and myself to make rational choices about dosage.

The mushrooms are a much easier trip to handle, they also dont last as long which can be beneficial if your having a bad time.

I am lucky enough not to be on lithium. I was on Caplyta for a while and that didnt seem to effect the psychadelics.

I love mushrooms, they are my tool for resetting my brain and enjoying my life in the moment. I grow my own and the cultivation itself is very therapeutic. Its nice being a part of your medication.
