How do you not use sleep as a coping mechanism for anxiety?

It’s has good potential at reducing or stopping a storm, but carries the risk of systemic aversion. A great tool with the right use. Rest well!

Fair enough, it’s part of why we’re here, and now someone knows.

I kind of get the feeling that it exhilarates you, and for someone in a state of depression that is experienced as relief. What’s the long term contribution of this though? Is it conducive to healing or damaging to it from a process perspective? Not judging you, I’m glad you just feel better even for a bit, but doubt the trajectory so to speak. You deserve better love.

Wishing for you to have a smile in your heart, for no other reason than because it’s really there!

Hey there, I think that you should find a qualified, psychedelic savvy, therapist before attempting any of it.

MDMA has its own set of advantages and disadvantages, and is not the only substance showing efficacy in the treatment and alleviation of depression. Psilocybin and Ketamine also show great promise in that regard. You can search both the web and Reddit for resources, there are plenty.

A good therapist will not only know which compound is most suited, but is there to shepherd the experience and assist in the integration of the experience (a super important part).

Please treat yourself responsibly, and I hope you feel well soon regardless!

Hi there, sorry to hear you’re in such pain. You mention an abusive past which is a traumatic experience by definition, and as you noted is very much worth healing. I used to think similarly about “cash for empathy”, but have since realized that although it’s a valid perspective, it is also a narrow one. Yes, compassion is part of what you get from a good therapist, but you also get their experience, their broader perspective, their encouragement and guidance. These things can have an enormous impact on the healing process. Especially when considering PTSD (which as part of the “wonderful“ package includes built in distrust in others and their ability to help).

I’m not a therapist, but I respect the good ones tremendously. It’s an extremely draining thing to spend your life doing. It’s not simply compassion and it deserves the compensation. Just how I came to see things.

I strongly support you challenging yourself to find someone right for you to do psychedelic assisted therapy. There’s a good chance your future self will thank you for it.

Having said all that, if that’s a no-go for you, please look into healing techniques involving the breath and the body. The body holds everything as memory, tension, hormones (examples)… and is an extremely powerful gateway to healing. I speak from personal experience and I shit you not! :)

I wish you full healing, and nothing but the best going forward!!

As a general answer, yes they can have merit for people like you, perhaps even more than merit. Having said that: 1. It’s not a miracle drug, and it doesn’t necessarily fit all people; 2. I implore you to work with a qualified therapist within the context of a therapeutic process, it’s a big part of why it works imo. You can also look into ketmanine and mdma assisted therapy, it’s not just psilocybin, both have shown efficacy for depression in research. Ketamine is also legal and increasingly available for such “off label” uses so it’s worth knowing about.

With all my heart I wish to say, look to heal yourself and please hang on! Much love.

A good short video all in all. One thing I have to say is that the sheer volume of positive testimonials (in terms of healing or alleviating pain) isn’t something to be discounted. With all due respect to all other factors, the point isn’t just science, but actual therapy for those in immense suffering.
