    I usually do shrooms at least once or twice a year, whenever I feel like I’m stuck in a shitty thought pattern and can’t seem to get out of it. Although I did some like 2 weeks ago after over 2 years of not doing any because I was scared I was going to have a difficult experience. (Surprise, I did and I’ve never suffered so much in my life before. Still worth it.)

    It’s super weird how for at least a week after, no matter what kind of experience I get, my thought process is so much more… flexible I guess? Really don’t know how to describe it but it is such a blessing.

      Increases brain plasticity so it makes sense to change how flexible your thought processes are.

      Apparently a bad trip is better for depression etc than a good one, and my first bad trip I agree was the worst experience, but it actually helped me shift perspective and feel there really was a ‘worse’.
