I was introduced to the idea of a Psilocybin journey by my CBT therapist and I'm so grateful for it. I was only making incremental progress on my lifelong depression and anxiety with therapy alone. I was extremely eager to grow as a person and find stability in life but continued to struggle with setbacks and self-doubt. My Psilocybin experience was life changing in that regard.
1 Month after my experience, these are my lasting effects:
Felt like a dopamine reset: I came out with a bigger appreciation for life and a more positive outlook that stuck around.
Mood and energy: My mood feels steadier and my energy is more consistent.
Better self-awareness: I could clearly see which behaviors I was using to escape depression vs. the ones that actually make me happy and stable long-term.
Social anxiety: My inner critic and self-doubt about being myself around other people dropped a lot.
Cravings and binges: Urges around food, drugs, and video games were almost completely quieted. I feel much more in control of when and why I engage with them.
Long-term thinking: I feel clearer about my long-term goals and more motivated to work toward them day by day.
My facilitator and the office staff made my journey very comfortable and enjoyable. I was nervous about the new adventure but that was quickly resolved and the tranquility and relaxation after the effects wore off was bliss.
I would recommend this medicine to absolutely anyone who is struggling with depression, self-doubt, anxiety, binging, addiction, burnout or low motivation.
It wasn't just healing for me, it was also a lot of fun to experience a new perspective of reality and it made me realize we take for granted just how many signals our bodies offer us and how often we try to quiet or ignore them. read more
