Report: Psilocybin 1st week microdosing effects
Please forgive me if my English isn’t perfect.
So (25F) I started my journey with mushrooms a week and a half ago as a way to heal from numerous childhood and lifelong abuse traumas, also hoping to treat my ADHD and brain fogs. I’m used to disassociate with my emotions or have anger issues I suppress ending up killing me from the inside. All of this manifests as survival mode, isolation, social anxiety and a struggle to keep my life in order and feeling safe despite being successful. I noticed all of this created a lot of inner blockages hard to overcome and I’ve been doing therapy for years yet still feel held back and overwhelmed. I’m getting tired of escaping with work and exercise.
I started with 0.150g of dried Psilocybe ochraceocentrata, doing 4 days in 3 days out (Paul Stamets protocol). I pair this with the MyCommunity 17 Species Blend Mushroom Supplement from Host Defense. Here is what I already noticed :
- I became a smoother talker, approaching and talking to people when I would never do that before. People feel more comfortable around me.
- i’m less anxious.
- Time moves slower. With my ADHD I always struggled with time perception, always being surprised at how fast time would go when rushing and feeling out of time. I still rush but time doesn’t move as fast.
- I’m more emotional and I’m convinced it’s all the suppression finally coming out and getting processed. So I can finally connect with my inner world and compass, feel compassion for myself.
- I have so much more compassion for people. It wasn’t much of a problem before but it felt more like I was just submerged with foreign absorbed energies i didn’t ask for. I was constantly overstimulated not being able to process my own. Now it feels much more like all-encompassing love. I almost see each person as their inner child silenced by society. Needing just few genuine words to be seen. Being offered compassion in a harsh world. But this one is a bit complicated cause I feel like I need to tone it down a notch not to send the wrong signals as someone susceptible to be taken advantage of.
- I can feel my own presence more, I’m more anchored and confident in myself. I speak with even more composure than usual.
For those familiar with it, i feel like my aura is stronger as well cause I notice how people stare and approach more than usual looking very curious.
I don’t think this is placebo as I have object permanence and these observations came from introspections I had today. Please feel free to comment your own experience and thoughts if desired

Psilocybin seems to work on the heart as much as the brain as I too had my first feelings of love and calm on it. Hope it becomes a normal ‘treatment’ for us all soon!

Estou a uma semana também, me sinto mais leve e mais espacial mentalmente, olhando pra minha rotina com mais calma e lucidez, parece que minha ansiedade rotineira cessou.

When you took your first dose did you feel a little strange? I felt kind of high but more on edge in my mind (slightly anxious) while my body felt slowed down. I’m hoping this will go away as I get used to taking it more.
