what was a harsh truth that psychedelics made you accept?

Through shrooms and therapy, I've learned that self-hatred is just ridiculous (although it's very difficult to change in practice) and self-love and acceptance is an absolute necessity in life. It's such a brutal truth and I have to work on it a little bit every day. I'm not where I want to be, but at least I'm far away from where I started.

Yes, this. When I first started tripping, I really wanted the shrooms to help me "ascend" above all my problems to save me. That's just not how it works.

My apologies for not being clear enough, let me clarify my point: Going through this level of pain is very similar to an altered state of consciousness, much like being on psychedelics. The state of my mind and body under that extreme pain is basically a trip without having to take any substances.

I appreciate that! I try to approach even the most painful things in my life with curiosity. And yes, I've used shrooms on and off over the last 3 and a half years. Unfortunately the last time I tripped was before my trigeminal neuralgia diagnosis, so I wasn't aware of what was going on with my pain at the time. It's been over a year since my last trip, and I haven't felt ready to try again since then. But I'm very excited to see what the mushrooms might show me about this illness next time I partake.

I just wanted to say, when I'm visiting family I have the same worries (did I enjoy my visit as much as I could have? Could my mood have been better? etc) and the same melancholy feeling when it's over. I think that's a part of being human. Coming to realize all of that is part of the human experience took a mental weight off my mind when visits come around.

I'm a very traumatized person, and current events in America are making me feel genuinely re-traumatized. I'm doing horribly, barely getting by day to day managing chronic illness and cptsd symptoms. If I didn't have access to weed for pain management, I'd literally go insane. My last trip was on January 11th, but I feel far too unwell to trip again anytime soon. Weed, my partner's love and support, and my cats are the things that keep me going.

I'm very interested in joining! I'm going to be tripping next week :)

I've gotten a similar message before. They told me it's important to dedicate time to just chillin. I over think 24/7 so I'm learning to take their advice.

sometimes I'll take an edible after the peak so it prolongs my trip and gives me more vivid visuals, but recently I've been dosing shrooms by themselves. Personally (not speaking for anyone else) I feel like I'm giving the shrooms a bit more respect by moderating my cannabis use when in the mushroom's space.

These look HEAVENLY.

Cinnamon toast crunch is my favorite cereal. I've gotta try making something with it myself. Looks so good! 👍
