Has anyone here used Psilocybin Mushrooms to improve their Mental health?

1 post in this topic

Hi.

I had a rapid decline in my mental health in the early 2010's for seemingly no reason. Just felt worse randomly.

Developed - OCD out of nowhere, bad depresson, anxiety issues, bad ADHD.

I've spent over a decade trying to get better and have tried - 

- Therapists x2 - 

- Psychologist x2 -

- MH professionals summary - Learned about thought-action defusion, CBT, EMDR, journalling etc as a result of MH professionals. I feel therapy helped me understand myself a bit more but didn't make me feel much better.

- Gave up booze, caffeine.

- Got on Nofap. - 

- Improved diet. I meal plan, make sure I'm meeting all my nutritional requirements. 

- Blood tests done to check for deficiencies, thyroid, autoimmune, adrenal issues etc. Have had many done, and there's no recurring issues. 

- Cut down on screen time, and spend more time in nature.

- Lots of different types of meditation, breathing exercises

- Socialise more

- TL;DR -  Reinvented the way I live tremendously. I feel considerably better, just not quite as alive as I would like. I sometimes feel like I'm still sometimes mildly depressed. Discovered new hobbies/beauty. Am grateful for the suffering as I would not have discovered a love for hiking and writing without it. Would not have discovered meditation and that sort of work. 

Results - OCD cured, ADHD now moderate in comparison to before, anxiety is now mild. Depression is much better.

I have never gone on SSRI's because I have heard that they are not good for this caliber of anxiety/depression etc. But I have heard stories of psilocybin mushrooms improving brain activity. But they are a drug and there's risks, just wondering if anyone here has any advice on this. I can't think of anything else to try besides drugs. 

All in all I feel better, I don't feel I suffer much anymore. I can take a mild level of satisfaction from life, but I still do feel a bit flatlined a lot of the time emotionally, unmotivated, lowish appetite.

I suppose you can say I feel quite relaxed inside, I do enjoy somethings, but no matter how healthy I get I don't quite feel as alive as I was before my MH issues started.
