    Psychedelics can be a game changer, for sure!

    I’ve dabbled - and I am happy to say one lasting benefit is the little voice that said “God I wish I could just shoot myself right now”, several times a day, for years, is gone.

    Integration is key, though - but it sounds like you’ve got that on lock. Life’s the real trip, but tripping can help remind you of that (at least, sometimes, for a lot of but not all people).

      Oh, absolutely. It took a bit until the tripping actually got the whole integration of the experience down. I actually went to interview for my current job about 2 days after a trip, still had that sense of perspective and it made it a much easier experience where I was able to keep myself rather calm, and I suspect that might have been one of the things that made everything work out in the end. Just to note, I’m not saying the psychodelics will solve all of your problems (still fixing quite a few I made over the last year while severely depressed), but they will often help you stay on the right track.
