im thinking about trying microdosing (and maybe low dosing) to treat high functioning agoraphobia. im fully functional (go to school, frequently socialize, leave the house, etc.) but being in situations where i feel out of control makes me feel anxious and foggy (depersonalized). i'm in therapy and have made a lot of progress healing and coping with anxiety. could shrooms help me relinquish control and heal trauma?

LSD junkies on suicide watch
yeah that sounds like a valid use case, i think they might help. i would try a normal dose rather than microdosing repeatedly though
ill probably start with a microdose just to test the strain potency and whatnot and then try out normal doses
do caps and stems have different levels of potency or is it just generally variable?
sounds sensible, good luck OP and please do make another thread letting us know how it went
thanks i will
yeah acid is a fed psyop
please read what he was responding to, it has nothing to do with lsd vs shrooms
microdosing is a meme, and you will especially not be able to regularly dose sub-threshold levels of mushrooms unless you're making them into a powder and homogenizing them or something
Any guides for bpd? I hate myself and just want to exist without thinking of shit too much. I feel every possible emotion as much as humanly possible except contentedness.
This is how I do mushrooms though, I grind them and add them to a drink or dessert. Easier on the stomach.
i think psychedelic therapy and spiritual/shamanic work could help release the underlying trauma that causes bpd. there's no such thing as neurobiological mental illness. its all social and spiritual.
Just extract them into lemon/lime juice and then add the juice to water. Though be warned it makes the trip stronger and faster. (Lemontek).
>do caps and stems have different levels of potency or is it just generally variable?
Caps are more potent iirc; there's erowid articles making estimations.
Why not full dose?
keep in mind that shrooms unevenly allocates the active ingredient along the fungal matter, so it is difficult to get a consistent dose
try megadosing
TWO SCOOPS, C’MON! GO BIG OR GO HOME!
>high functioning agoraphobia
frick man i feel that. i have a severe stutter even as an adult so any social interaction is like hell for me. i do everything i can to avoid it, but lonliness and isolation nearly cracked my brain. i still haven’t recovered from my late teens to early-mid 20s, where i kid you not i doubt i said more than a hundred words in a day. go to school/college, then go home and delve into escapism.
“hi”
“bye”
“im fine thanks”
because that’s all i could manage. it’s like im outwardly a fricking mentally disabled person when it’s really bad, but in my head im lucid. i just cant fricking talk fluently, ever. it’s also very hard to explain to people who dont stutter. and i’ve met other adult stutterers who pale in comparison to how bad i get, not to be a dickhead who has to +1 everyone else’s problems, but man the embarrasment awful. is it bad if i say i would trade this for a physical disability? give me fluent speech and you can have one of my legs, i dont give a frick.
My heart goes out to you, brother
The worst part is that other people think you dislike them or something. When really would wish to talk more and be more sociable but I just cant do it.
The shrooms alone don't fix anything and just kind of make you cry and give you a spiritual experience. Not bad but if you're trying to fix a condition you need to combine it with psychotherapy and you ALSO have to not be a druggy moron when taking them or else you just have WOAH BRO trips where you're constantly distracted. You'd have to find a way to diy John Hopkins therapy sessions.
i was thinking about going into the trip with the intention of relinquishing control and releasing anxiety and listening to and playing music during the trip as well as journaling and walking. i'm already in psychotherapy and i think it's been helping. would taking them while a sober friend is over and just talking through the trip with them help?
Journaling is great just try to keep it focused on the mental aspects and not the silly shit. You can see redditors post their "triplogs" or whatever they call them and half of them are them trying to be funny. I laid down on the floor watching a pet bunny eat a cardboard box for 30 minutes when I first tried it but that wasn't some huge breakthrough so it's not worth writing down. It won't be an overnight fix either but you seem to know what you're doing and I really do believe in shroom therapy because otherwise people are too boxed in. For example, talk therapy takes years to make even minor progress, while shrooms can cause huge breakthroughs in a short amount of sessions.
If you're already in psychotherapy that's even better. If you can get someone to drive you, maybe even show up while on a microdose.
I can tell you've done a lot of research so yeah I'd recommend shrooms. Good luck OP
You are probably just schizoid. Agoraphobia is when you are paralyzed with fear when you need to leave your home. To the point where you physically can’t.
Dp/dr gets worse with every dryg except benzos which are fricking poison to you.
You need to manage the anxiety which causes it.
that's what i'm trying to do by using mushrooms: transform the negative thought pattern of anxiety that underlies the dpdr
Microdosing is some of the gayest söyboy shit I've ever heard of.
im starting with a microdose and then working upward because i have a history of mental illness and i'm not trying to get sent to a psych ward.
I hear ya bro.
Here's a wild idea; don't do drugs.
shut up Black person you're not funny
You type like a r*dditor. Also, you don't know how to use semicolons. You're not intelligent for having the same ill-conceived opinions on drugs as your parents and your government.
yeah fr
As usual; junkie mad.
What you gonna do; cry about it?
Bitch.
the misuse of the semicolon is so funny
Anon made it a point to absolutely lose his shit over it so why not lay into it?
5g+ are the only scary ones consistently. I only had one bad trip below that and it wasnt even that bad. Just a weird visual sensation while it was raining of it feeling like I could see the walls of reality break down.
Where does one aq0yfwtvuire shrooms?
Frick, aquire
befriend druggies. ask around. or buy spores online and grow them.
Fall is around the corner, you can gather them outside, just make absolutely sure to know how they look and DON'T EAT ANYTHING YOU'RE NOT ABSOLUTELY SURE IS EDIBLE.
Also wandering about the outdoors gathering them is in and of itself a very nice and enjoyable activity and you can gather other, non-psychoactive mushrooms also.
just do one really big dose and tell yourself youre gonna stop being a mentally ill homosexual. You might even have a bad trip, but its part of the healing process.
Im gonna do shrooms Wednesday or Thursday. See you on the other side, OP
Just do phenibut if you’re looking for anxiety or agoraphobia relief
Microdosing is a waste of perfectly good psychedelics
Psychedelics open up a portal to hell and invite demons into your life.
Would not recommend in any given context.
