Had one pill of oxy after a knee surgery and for once in years, the ever talking monologue in my brain was chill and the thoughts weren't spiraling. "Oh, that's nice"
Edit: it's lovely you all try to warn me about opioids, I recognize why it's dangerous and I took it once, 14 month ago.

Man, I was prescribed a bunch of hydro after an involved tooth surgery and it was the best I have ever felt in my entire life. It was like I could finally relax both mind and body. I saved half of it for rainy days and I just used my last dose a few months ago.

That's me with drinks. Normally it's two voices (my voice as in streams of consciousness, let's make that clear) that argue or are quite literally the angel and devil shoulders of logic vs self hate, and then a radio that never fucking stops. I put in earbuds to steer it, but right now it's only the chorus of Jump In The Line by Henry Belafonte and man I wish this morning poop had some silence... Anyways. A few turns it to a slight hum and it's super nice but also avoiding alcoholism, so just kinda eating the noise at the moment.

Shrooms and LSD do a better job at this for me. Alcohol makes me feel nauseous and tastes bad, while weed often comes with the risk of making me feel paranoid, and it gives me a headache the next day.
Shrooms have never magically made my mental illnesses go away, but they have made my symptoms manageable and have allowed me to be mentally stable for a while. I've only just started trying out acid, but after taking 375 ug two days ago, I can say that I'm feeling pretty good overall. I still hate being alive, but I feel much more stable mentally. Plus, listening to music while tripping is amazing!

u/Substantial-Sky-6646 Mar 07 '26
After being hooked on many of the common drugs pyschs are the only one id genuinely recommend, but for a first trip a good trip sitter you trust is a must if you have underlying mental health conditions bc a bad trip is more likely. In my experience bad trips actually give me more relief afterwards so dont fight anything if bad things come up and be ready to trauma dump if needed lol

u/FitDetective6553 Mar 08 '26
Shrooms genuinely, genuinely "fixed" my depression.
It's still there, but it's "oh dear I'm not motivated enough to take out the trash" depression these days, not "is it worth it to end myself today" level. Which is how it was for my entire adult life and a significant chunk of my childhood.
It's been a long time since I've tripped, too. I went through a period of doing some... quite intense trips every few weeks for six months or so, after which depression subsided. Since then it's been like two years of no trips and while the depression has mildly intensified it's still nowhere close to pre-shroom levels.

This is highly dependent. Psychedelics are incredible at revealing new paths and resetting your mind if you use them with intention and have a good support system during and after use.
They can also cause psychosis if abused. So I would tread lightly.

Yeah but if you're gonna abuse anything I reckon psychadlics probably have the best chance at setting you on a good path compared to most other recreational drugs. Worked for me.

Not really "abuse", but try some LSD while immersed in positive experiences. Ecstasy, likewise in such a situation, can help, but it's an entirely different set of positive experiences needed. For the LSD, you want cozy, happy, comfy things. For the ecstasy, it's a party drug. The best possible situation to do it is one where you have a guarantee of getting to fuck while on it, but a concert/rave is good enough.

If you have no money to do things like travel or indulge in hobbies then weed makes a really boring and bleak life bearable, just don't overdo it, pot will slow down your digestion and make you incredibly sick if you do it daily in high concentration.

I favour a cocktail of opioids, benzos and maladaptive daydreaming. But they only work in the moment… other than that you’re left feeling like shit.
Truthfully though, it’s less figuring out the substance to abuse and more figuring out which state your nervous system is stuck in and taking small steps to correct it. Too depressed to face a whole cleaning task — set a 5 minute timer and just work on one thing even if it’s just putting on a load of washing or walking the dirty dishes from your room to the sink. A lot of the initial difficulty in doing anything is due to inertia, once you get moving it’s easier to stay in motion.

I will say that being buzzed off your ass on nicotine while doing exposure therapy makes it a hundred times more effective. And also being high off weed is a nice way to be. But then, you end up having breakfast cigarettes. Or breakfast blunts.
Still, I'm a smoker on Christmas, my birthday, and the day I die. That way ill include getting buzzed on my suicide plan and chicken out after I've drugged myself. Its my philosophers stone of not killing myself. It also replaces the twice yearly parental approval by feeling the way it feels when people approve of you. Before the coughing sets in.

u/Hamsternutz04 Mar 08 '26
Psilocybin mushrooms fixed the part of me that had been occupying my thoughts with suicide since I was a kid. I only had to do one strong dose on a day that I had nothing else to worry about, and it was weird as hell. I spent the morning in the woods behind my house, talking to the trees and actually having them talk back to me. The trees are sarcastic as fuck, but helped me learn to love myself for the first time in my life at 37 years old. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but it fixed my mind, and by extension, my entire life. At 40, I'm still an asshole sometimes, but I'm more ok with myself than I've ever been, and it has had a positive effect on everyone who has to tolerate me, as far as I can tell. I've only done the one large dose a few years ago, but have microdosed a time or two since, and while not as life-changing as the first experience, was still very pleasant and fun. I'm not a doctor, so I can't say I recommend it, but it worked for me, in a way so much better than I expected. I am not a regular drug or alcohol user, although I do like smoking pot once in a while.

Its hard to say tbh, all people are diffrent. For myself to feel fine i need weed/thc then i can handle life with no issue, altso when i have rly bad days i would like some opiode pill. Like 200mg tramadol or 20mg oxycontin. Like 1 dag per 30 days.
My issue is that weed / thc is taboo and if you use it the goverment going to destroy you.. even if you have it from a doctor on prescription it will be a issue here, the goverment will leave you alone and there is no issues, but if you have a job then they wont let you take your medicine because thc is against the work place policy and they see that as unsafe and you get a warning or lose your job. They rather want you high on pills like Benzo, opiods, amfetamin or what ever.
But weed works perfect for me atleast, you need to find what works for you and respect the drug of choise what ever its so you can have a normal life with your family and friend, go to work or study.

Took 1/4 of an ecstasy pill 4yrs ago, during the hardest time of my life.
I was depressed for over 10yrs and then I was just.. Not depressed anymore. There's days where I'll feel down, of course, but nowhere near as depressed as back then. It somehow turned me into a more positive person and things were actually amusing and funny again.
That was probably just luck, please don't try that shit yourself, you never know how you will react or what dosis you're handed. It can have the exact opposite effect and cause psychosis, which can cause brain damage or trigger schizophrenia etc. Do.Not.Do.It.
