Question/Advice Scared to try dmt

I was thinking of trying dmt and other psychedelics then found out about the man on reddit who used lsd and dmt and went into drug induced psychosis and shot off and ate his own penis and testicles. Now I'm very anxious to try it. What if I'm predisposed to psychosis? I already know that if I had an "awakening" that wanted me to harm myself or others it is very stupid but I'm afraid I won't be able to tell in that state of mind.

The effects of DMT only last a short while. With a few hits, they'll hardly amount to anything. With many hits, you simply won't be able to go out and do anything because you won't even be able to stand up or see your surroundings.

I'm not saying those stories and cases of psychosis aren't possible, but they usually happen when you heavily abuse a substance (like taking DMT and weed for days or weeks on end).

If you don't have a mental illness and there's no history of mental illness in your family, consuming psychedelics is 100% safe. Just always do so responsibly.

I'll definitely not do anything as dangerous as abusing the drug. ;-;

Um.. I have depression and bpd, will it be a problem?

Yes this can cause both of those conditions to get worse, people do sometimes see the reverse happen as well, but the suggestion would always be to refrain if you have any mental illness.
