I feel like taking any sort of hallucinogenics is a bad idea, especially if you're already struggling with mental health. I think people have this idea that it'll somehow unlock some epiphany in their minds, but that's almost never the case. The chances of it messing with your psyche are far higher and not worth the risk.

I work in an emergency room and can tell you without a doubt that taking shrooms,unless directed to by a medical professional in a medical capacity, will never be a good idea. I know that it is so difficult to deal with intrusive thoughts in the moment and that therapy for ocd is not fun, but there is no easy way out of this especially through hallucinogenic drugs.

I actually believe in some cases microdosing can be very beneficial, and there is quite substantial research to suggest this. The key is to make sure you ‘microdose’ and not take too much, as that can cause even more anxiety. It might be a bit of trial and error to get the quantity right that works for you. I believe some natural remedies are overlooked because natural remedies can’t be patented by the pharmaceutical companies, only synthetic drugs can, so they like to dismiss natural remedies. I don’t dismiss the benefits of some prescription drugs, but sometimes there can be alternatives worth exploring.

Maybe try supplements too if you haven’t already. I take fish oil, multivitamin/minerals, B6, DIM and a combined magnesium/calcium and zinc. Ashwagandha can also be good for stress. I also used to take NAC. I suggest you look at the research and make an informed decision as to what you want to try. It can be a bit of trial and error working out what works for you. Good luck on your journey of healing. OCD is a beast.

OCD theme involving drugs?
Does anyone else have the strong urge to do some sort of drugs sometimes when there ocd gets really bad or over nothing in general, like I’ll just be sitting doing nothing and my brain goes “you need to do cocaine right now or else” and I get a urge and it’s so like odd to me??? I’ve never done drugs in my life and never plan to because my father was a addict and I’ve seen what they’ve done to people so it scares me when I get these thoughts and then I get the urge to reach out to someone who can give me drugs and I play this whole scenario in my mind where I contact someone and I meet up with them and pay them for the drugs and then I take them and die and it’s like??? Idk I’ve had weird intrusive thoughts involving drugs before but this is like different if that makes sense, I also can’t stop focusing on how my body feels when this happens like it’ll feel like I was a previous addict and that I’m going through withdrawal and need something or else and it’s just so weird to me. Anyone else go through this?

psilocybin
I was looking into stuff for my friend who apparently has no internal monologue or capability to imagine images which is amazing but I can't imagine a life with that. I knew someone years that also couldn't imagine images a few years back and asked her what would happen if they took psychedelics. It turns out they've been using something called psilocybin to tackle a range of disorders like the ones mentioned above, ptsd and ocd with some positive results. I feel as if it might untangle some stuff in our minds in order to see more clearly. The hallucinations of the psychedelics may purely be our brain reorganising itself. Thought it was interesting
