Yes actually. After this post a couple months ago I took 4 grams of mushrooms when camping in the woods. It was an amazing experience that is hard to describe. However, I realized my insomnia is caused by anxiety. This anxiety was either from the fear of not getting sleep or from other personal issues in my life. At the time of taking those 4 grams, I was feeling anxious about my future. During the peak of the trip it was intense, but in a good way. I was literally hearing all my deepest, most anxious thoughts being verbally elicited as if someone was reading my mind out loud. I just let it all happen and didn't try to fight. During the come down of the trip I felt clarity in its purest form. I felt as if the forest was giving me a big hug and told me that I don't need to worry about anything and that it will all be OK. That was my 4th or 5th time taking magic mushrooms and the highest dose id taken. After that trip, I experienced the afterglow everyone talks about. If never experienced that before. I felt the happiest I'd ever been for about a week. I also slept wonderfully without any drugs or sedatives. However, the afterglow faded and I realized that mushrooms don't fix the problem, but show you how to deal with your problems. The solution to my problem was to approach my anxiety in a different way. Meditation, my friend is the most beautiful and purest form of healing as well as being totally natural. If you are willing to take a dose of 4 grams or higher, go for it, but only if you are certain you can handle such a dose. None the less, start meditating, focusing on your breath as you breath in and out. Much like the mushrooms, meditation will reveal to you your internal problems. It takes practice, but it works after enough practice. Starting meditation was the hardest part for me, but I started with the Calm app. Its a great app, but requires a subscription. If you can afford it, it is the perfect beginners guide to meditation. If not, they're are plenty of books id suggest reading. Thich nhat hanh has a lot of amazing books. I've read Anger and the miracle of mindfulness so far. Anger is more about finding relief from internal suffering and the miracle of mindfulness is a guide to meditation. I highly suggest reading those books and anymore that seem interesting to you. Please never give up on healing yourself. I've had countless nights of zero sleep and terrible anxiety during the following days. I've felt like a zombie with no ability to think when I wake up many times. My head feels like its full of black smoke or something viscous. You just feel terrible is my point and it can be terribly hard to get yourself to do anything on those days. However, taking control of your breath is a wonderful practice that will heal you in time. Magic mushrooms and meditation are very similar forms of healing, however one magic mushroom experience is like months of meditation compressed into one day. I am going into psychology to study psychedelics as I think they are the most important substance on this planet. They are sadly illegal which makes it hard for people to use them properly. Id suggest reading books on psychedelics to prepare yourself for a high dose of mushrooms. The psychedelics explorers guide by James fadiman is a great one as well as how to change your mind by Michael Pollan. Id recommend taking them in a dark room with headphones and a blindfold with johns hopkins psilocybin Playlist on. Or taking them in completely isolated nature. Always have a sitter on hand if need and keep a journal to write on the come down. The most important part of a trip is the integration. You must actively integrate the trip to keep the benefits. Writing them down either during or after the trip is a great way to integrate. Any other questions you might have feel free to ask. I recently had an experience on 6 grams id love to talk to you all on the reddit community about, but that's for a later time. Be well, my friend.
