That's true. But how to get better?

I didn't get a specific diagnosis, the doctor said that it would help for my immune system

sorry to hear that!

yeah, my doctor gave me prednisolone, which should be for inflammation. I don't know if it helped, cause now, 3 weeks later I'm sick again. I return to my family every 50 days more or less, so pretty often.

@Leo Gura I love the new drawing style of the thumbnails (of this video and also the one about postmodernism). Do you do them yourself?

yeah I get it.. actually today I thought that I get sick cause here with my family I can relax away from studies and work. It is stressful, but I have to say that to some extent I am more relaxed, and maybe all the stress from where I live alone comes out, and then I get sick... But idk I'm pretty tired of feeling like this

Jesus wtf

I'm a student and I need cash to pay everything. In 5 years I had 3 jobs: hotel (cleaning, making breakfast, reception, etc.), bar and clothing store. Pretty basic jobs, I wouldn't do them long term at all, but they're still okay options to start with.@jacknine119

Hello everyone, today I will share with you the last psychedelic trip: Date: 02/12/2024 Location: Netherlands Set: I was feeling okay, kinda scared and excited for the trip Setting: My housemate's room Who: My housemate and I Time of intake: 3.20 pm Type & Dosage: Orange Mystery Mix, 10 grams of fresh sclerotia Intention: No specific intention, I wanted to let go, and let the truffle guide me Trip Report: When my housemate and I ate the truffles, we decided to clean up a bit the kitchen and then lay down in his bed. After 10 minutes I went to the toilet (when I take psychedelics I always have to poop on the come-up), and there is where everything started. It started hitting me pretty hard (the days before I also did strict intermittent fasting, where I would only eat for dinner - so also that probably made me more sensitive to the drug), so I went to bed and lay down. My roommate also started feeling it but not like me. Before the trip, I mixed a couple of audio, that could guide us in the trip. I combined several tapes from the Gateway Experience so that it would last about 1 hour, and after that, there was music (Colors, the live concert by Eberhard Weber-really great music). Overall, the Gateway experience was pretty creepy and when the music started I felt better. The trip was EXTREMELY intense, I have never experienced something like that. When I lay in bed, the truffle completely grabbed me and my whole essence and did everything it wanted with me. With my eyes open I could see everything as it was (with distortions of course), but I felt as if I wasn't really there. My body was not really mine, and I was in it only partially. With eyes closed, I was 100% somewhere else, in a field of sensations that I have never experienced, and go beyond language, and my level of comprehension. It felt like the psychedelic and I were one, but still, it was kinda separate from it. I felt like it wanted to hurt me, but with time I understood that the more tense I was, the more it would want to scare me. So I had to let myself be vulnerable, and then I would be safe. It was a cycle of vulnerability transforming into fear, changing back to vulnerability. With it, I felt another kind of cycle: it was a kind of "physical" tension that came every time I would let myself be relaxed. What I mean is that the peak of relaxation was also the peak of tension; when I allowed myself to relax I arrived at a point where the relaxation became tension again. The two things were the same. I learned and understood some things about my personal life and other concepts. It reminded me that I shouldn't judge what people think and feel, everything is valid. I used to know that, and never judge people, but since last summer I started judging again. I understood that my mind is here with me, and it's fine, it's not my enemy, it's a feature. I understood that I often take care too much of other people, more than myself, so I have to think of myself first, of my health, both physical and mental. I also cried when realizing that in different life situations I put on a mask and I kind of pretend of being someone else. I can let myself be myself everywhere, at any place and time. One of the most important things that I realized, is the following: in the last year or so, I got so involved and attached to spiritual and nondual teachings, that made me really detached from this human reality. Something that at the beginning was a great realization, became something like a burden, or a curse. In that moment of the trip, I realized that my personal life is actually important, and I should live it. This was a great trip. As I said, it was extremely intense, and despite the good insights, I was on the edge of going crazy. From that day of the trip, my life has changed a lot. I know that not much time has passed, but living a life where I know about the existence of deeper truths and not looking for them, makes me happier. I am aware and conscious, but my focus is on my life. I understood that this is not for me right now, at this stage of my life. I will still keep my spiritual practices and other things, with the goal of great personal development. Other metaphysical truths can wait for later in my life. Thank you everyone for reading, I send you lots of love!❤️

Which kind of breath work did you do?

Thank you Asia for the nice words! Yes I find it really fascinating. I do know that all this was already inside of me, but this experience helped me remember, realize, and integrate all of it.

@Human Mint hahah not really, I'm not drinking so much

@Hojo could be. Now some time has passed, and I'm okay, don't feel bad or anything.

Hey guys, I wanna ask your help for a situation. First of all: happy new year! Second of all: Yesterday a friend of mine and I went to Amsterdam to have a nice year's eve, we didn't want to have a crazy night, but just to see the fireworks etc. At the end we drank and danced the whole night till the sunrise. I never drink so I am not used to alcohol at all, and walking back home I fell and hit my head on the floor. Now after 6 hours of sleep (definitely not enough, but I can't sleep more) my head is spinning and hurting a lot. I think this could be from the hit in the head, and not the alcohol (I know how my body feels when I'm hungover, and this is not it, I think). Do you have any tips on how to lessen the pain and spinning? I am drinking lots of water, eating, and I also took ibuprofen, but it's not really helping. Thank you guys

@fabger damn sorry for that, are you okay now?

@OmniNaut next Saturday night, we're sending you back to the future!

It's legal to posses them as a collection item. No, it's not Legal to consume them, but think that nowhere in the Netherlands is 100% legal to do psychedelics. Even in the Netherlands where they sell truffles the laws are a weird loophole. If you want 100% legality is pretty difficult. Just buy them online and do them home, nobody will know it ahah

I never had visuals on ketamine (it's also true that I didn't take crazy big doses). LSD feels really electric to me, as if everything is with neon colors, and moving. They're completely different, and even though some people say that ketamine is a psychedelic, I didn't feel it that way at all. I know that with bigger doses it probably acts like a psychedelic, but then it's physically harmful and I don't want to risk.

Hmmm I think it's too generic this quote... Based on this logic, when someone from a poor country wants food and doesn't get it, then it's just god protecting them (from what, idk)

@Never_give_up you can buy legal truffles online from the Netherlands and they will ship them to Greece (again, legally). I have many Greek friends who do it. You can also buy grow kits and make the shrooms yourself.

But why something derived is not original?

I disagree with this one... How Did you get this insight?

Actually I read that it's one of the possible side effects

Rhodiola had a negative impact on my immune system, it made me super weak

My parents had a very toxic personality and they harmed me in many ways, saying that all they did was because of love (and still are toxic, but now it's getting better since I don't live with them anymore). 2 years ago my dad had an accident and now he's 100% disabled, with a terrible brain injury. His family abandoned him (and us), and I can tell you that they are living a good life, maybe even better cause they don't have to deal with the usual "family fights" or these kinds of things. I also thought about pros and cons about leaving the family and my dad. But my conclusion is that I prefer living a life giving love and helping my parents, than having a normal life but without my parents. It doesn't matter how toxic they were, I will always love them and help as much as I can.
