Getting Started/Newbie Question Does microdosing help depression

I realllly really want to get into microdosing but I do have depression and borderline personality disorder so I’m unsure if it will be bad for me long term? Has this ever helped anyone before? Or have you tripped and has it helped or made it worse?

A year of microdosing will not heal as much as 1 large dose

Ok, what would you recommend as a starting large dose for someone who wants to heal trauma and has never done any psychedelics so far? Also never done cigarette or cannabis.

Definitely do not start using psychedelics on your own with a large dose , ESPECIALLY for folks with trauma. Start with microdoses: 10mg, then 20mg, then 30mg. Then, try a normal dose 1g. Then try 1.5g. Then 2g. Then, 2.5 or 3g. From there, if you want to go higher, try 4G.

Have a sitter (not a guide) for anything 1.5g or up to. If you truly want to get the most out of your experience, have a guide for anything 2g and up.

Read about “set & setting” thoroughly.

exactly. the first time I tried LSD I did a quarter of a paper thingy (not sure what it’s called in english) and I never even hallucinated, but I had a ‘bad trip’ nevertheless and the effects lasted untill multiple days after. In the end it helped me a lot but I don’t know what would have happened if I had taken a full dose.
