Does anyone here "cure" depression with LSD or other mental illness? Explain your experiences, that might be interesting...
LSD helped me in my life in SO many ways, but it really did make me realize a lot especially in regards to depression. For example, one of my first trips on LSD was a bit uncomfortable with the setting, and it triggered signs of a bad trip, and I knew all too well what a bad trip was with my use of shrooms, and a bad trip on LSD is very hellish and intense, and I began spiraling in bad thoughts, but I let it happen and knew it would end up alright sooner or later. One of the most amazing things was this spiral process of thoughts, once it hooked me I found it VERY hard to escape this pattern and spiral, it was terrible, made me almost want to vomit, but then it calmed a bit, but the entire time I found it was the LSD just showing me what, possibly, could be causing things like depression or anxiety in my life. At the end of each "spiral" or pattern was the answer to...WHY I learned so much about how depression and anxiety and things of that nature are so miniscule in life and shouldn't be made out to be such a big deal, since they are in fact, nothing. Just thoughts that trigger NATURAL human reactions in the brain....which can be hard for a lot of people, especially overtime. After that experience, and many good trips after, I feel almost cured from anxiety/depression and many other things, I feel very wholesome, and usually now I can control my human natural instincts, mostly the anxiety, but all in all LSD helped me for the better. I hear many stories about people who experience bad trips and never go back to the drug, LSD or mushrooms mostly. To me, that's going about it all wrong. Dont freak and beg for it to stop, dont get so worked up over it, just let it do its thing, and pay attention, if you know it wont kill you then whats the big deal? Sit back, enjoy, because the way it opens your mind up to realize so much about yourself can be truley cleansing some. I'll end it with a beautiful quote from the man himself; I think that in human evolution it has never been as necessary to have this substance LSD. It is just a tool to turn us into what we are supposed to be. -Albert Hofmann PEACE
I've wondered the same thing. Perhaps it could "help", if the person knew of what was troubling them and wanted to undergo a new perspective on it (granted this wont neccessarly help or change them). Rather then someone who is depressed and does not like to think about what makes them depressed, as he/she might fight the thoughts that emerge during a trip. I don't know just a theory, It isn't wise to participate in psychedelics if you are feeling depressed or have other emotional struggles.
LSD has always left me feeling refreshed and better about my life and its direction. Its amazing how it takes you away from urself and allows u to examine urself like an outsider. LSD has helped me realize y i do things and the real reasons my life is how it is. I haven't dropped in over a year, and im sure my time is quickly approaching and I can't wait to see what ill learn. snocbor, good call on the quote.
meaning.. it would help you find... you? i know the hoff said it's a tool, but would it really help you in a time of confusion when you don't know what to do, because you just don't know where your heading? just a question -_- a bit of a noob
Okay, in my opinion since you are curious about it "fixing" depression, or finding ones self, I think that LSD will narrow it down in a long process of thoughts, which may freak you out, but in the end pinpoint exactly what's up with you, if that's the path your mind leads you down, it depends if it's bothering you that much. But it takes a long spiral and rough ride if that's what is on your mind during your trip, but it will be worth while, so yes you can find yourself on LSD, but "fixing" is totally up to you, it's what you do with what you learn that can help the most...Try it and see, also mushrooms have a similar effect at a good dosage, I also have had many wild and similar experiences on mushrooms, so don't leave them out on your journey.. Good luck to you, I know my journey through the psychadelic world in varied ways certainly opened my mind up and I've never been so great
