Shrroms

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.

Please don't. It won't help. Yes I did several times when I was in my teens

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.
