Shrooms

I tried shrooms for the first time recently, and omg they are magic. They are like no other drug. When I was tripping nothing bothered me, not only did I not have intrusive thoughts, but I felt as if I was really living for once. They make you notice every little thing around you, as if you have seen it all for the first time. I felt as if I was not thinking at all, I was just living and experiencing everything around me. I don’t like to get dirty, and I really don’t like bugs etc. but when I was trippin, I was literally laying on the ground surrounded by dirt and bugs and I did not care. It did not bother me, I didn’t feel gross like I normally do from just walking around outside. I remember feeling like “how does this normally bother me… its just nature, it’s beautiful.” They make you look deep inside yourself. I remember just staring at a painting, or staring at the woods and I just felt like I needed to cry, there was a pain in my chest, like a knot. But this emotion was not overwhelmed with thoughts, it was just the pure emotion seeping through with out thoughts to cloud your judgment. I cried for probably 2 hours with my sister (I hate crying in front of people but this felt so good and I felt closer to her than I have ever felt to someone in my life) and once we were done crying, it was as if this heavy weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. I literally felt lighter and so free after letting it all out. The trick is to not fight it. You have to let the shrooms work their magic and just observe yourself and your body. I also have really bad social anxiety, even with my sister who is like my best friend. But I did not care what anyone thought of me, it just felt unimportant. I remember saying whatever I wanted to say and once it had been said, I let it go. I even remember saying something like “Im just saying what I want to and I love it.” I felt no regret and no shame. I was acting like a child playing in the dirt, hugging trees and smashing strawberries in my face. It was so freeing to experience life without my brains input. I think everyone would benefit from at least one trip in their life, especially people with OCD. Shrooms make you wake up from the hell your brain has put you in. I felt pure happiness, I felt whole and complete with myself. I felt beautiful, it felt like the inside beauty and outside beauty were one. I am extremely insecure but I remember looking in the mirror and I could see all of my blemishes on my face, but I felt beautiful. My sister said to me “You have such a pretty smile.” And she explained that normally she felt that I would be fake smiling, but this time I just truly looked happy and it made me look and feel beautiful. Please, please, please give shrooms a chance, they are not the same as LSD. Start at a safe dose, you can always take more, but you cant take less. You can not overdose or anything but if you are not prepared to be tripping that hard, it might scare you away. Even try a micro dose to start. My sister sometimes does a micro dose of shrooms instead of taking ADHD medication, and shes not tripping but she feels more confident and all those annoying thoughts you get just feel unimportant. A trip is definitely worth trying but you can always start small. Shrooms also cause ego death, I did not reach this (as it was my first time) but me and my sister were talking and we said “everyone is hurting on the inside, so how could we ever be mad at them, they all have this little box they are hiding in, scared to come out. So how could we ever judge another human being or be angry with them.” Give them a chance, I promise you wont regret it. ❤️

i’m in no way glorifying shrooms just going to share some things. i haven’t tried shrooms but i’m definitely not opposed to it. i don’t think he’s diagnosed, but i’m sure my father has ocd and he does different types of hallucinations that he says are very eye opening to him. from what i’ve heard him say, it’s not an easy trip and you should have someone you feel safe with with you when you go on your trip. he’s said that it’s helped him recognize/heal past traumas because of the visions his mind shows him during his trips. if you end up trying it (and if you’re comfortable with sharing your experience) i would love to hear how shrooms affect other people with ocd :)

I heard about this! I’ve seen good and bad things about it but I think it’s best to stay away from it, especially since you had a bad experience with LSD before. I haven’t tried either of those, but I have smoked cannabis and had a really bad reaction which lasted almost a year. But I know others have great experiences with it!
