My experience with microdosing and severe stress

I am a fairly positive person myself. I cannot escape the necessary ups and downs, but in general I am a satisfied and happy person free from mental complaints, depression or other relevant conditions. A combination and accumulation of setbacks also felled me in the long run. A broken relationship, study delay and lost work due to corona. Stress about finances and suddenly sitting at home all day in a small student room.

I also felt down for a while and felt despondent, listless, slept badly, gained weight, no more energy and rarely went outside and did no more sports. I don't want to be a poser or exaggerate, but especially now in retrospect I was in a reasonable dip or depressive phase. Not bad, perhaps even to be expected in such a period, but annoying. I also started drinking more, smoking again and drug use (cocaine) also became worrying.

Normally always used one thing or another but always been able to handle it well. This time it was different and was purely due to boredom to get through the days/weeks. Between a rock and a hard place. Not so bad that professional help was needed, but continuing like this was not possible either. The answer, or at least MY answer: microdosing. Previously had experience with recreational use of magic truffles with a trip dose (>15 grams or so). I actually had the idea for a long time to experiment with this because I could use a supposed boost in creativity and concentration, etc. but this was now really a reason to give it a chance.

Bought a micro scale and ordered truffles and my final dose is now 2 grams of truffles in the morning on an empty stomach. This works well for me. If you want to be accurate and certain, it is better to grind it and then weigh it so that the active ingredients are more evenly distributed. Now one two grams is not the same as the other and my morning sometimes starts a bit more giggly than intended, but hey, there can be a bit more laughter these days, right? I have been doing intermittent fasting for a while anyway, so I kick off the morning with 2 grams of truffles, a large glass of water and one or two cups of black coffee. I can't imagine a better start. I have a good healthy dose of energy from the coffee and the psilocybin makes me feel cheerful and happy.

Not some synthetic feeling of excess but a sincere and human feeling. I am active, have energy, am sharp and focused and above all creative and solution-oriented. In addition, it makes me more open. Without realizing it, you suddenly greet the bus driver in a friendly way, say hello to all your colleagues with a smile and you are more understanding and patient and suddenly whistle while you are waiting in line at the cash register instead of sighing grumpily. The effects are strongest in the first 3-5 hours I notice and weaken somewhat as the day progresses. The directly noticeable effects then. I have been using it every other day since the beginning of April and I actually doubt whether I would ever do it differently? I was quite sceptical and critical but I will honestly admit that this has been a real addition and I will continue to use it faithfully as long as I feel that it still gives me benefits. Maybe forever, together with the black coffee. Psilocybin is not a miracle cure. It won't solve any problems and it won't heal your wounds. I do see it as a true catalyst. Your mood changes and is better, despite the *** situation you are in. You still have to deal with that situation (in my personal case) and try to solve it, but with the help of psilocybin this works a lot better. You are happier and more approachable, I felt more at ease in strange and uncomfortable situations and I have the feeling that I am also self-confident and more outspoken. In a good way.

This has an effect on the people around you who respond to you more positively, feel appreciated and heard and you get all this back. Psilocybin itself does not solve anything but it does kickstart the engine of your own problem-solving ability and gives me energy, strength and the desire to make something of it and I am completely back on track and continue to live happily and there are beautiful things on the horizon for me. There are countless resources, pills and medicines with similar and even more powerful effects, but in the long term they are not worth it because of the side effects. The biggest advantage of truffles is that I have not experienced any adverse effects. Very occasionally it can cause a short nausea when taken on an empty stomach but that is over with a glass of water and 15 minutes and really sporadic. With a dose of 2 grams every other day I do come to roughly 30 grams per month which is quite expensive. As far as I'm concerned it's worth it and for me personally it takes away a large part of the urge to drink, smoke or otherwise use and that already saves a lot of money. I can imagine that the effects are greater and more obvious when you're in a ' dip ' . When you feel completely good and comfortable in your own skin it may be less groundbreaking but who knows, I would definitely recommend everyone to try microdosing with psilocybin for a month. And certainly keep it in mind in that respect for possible bad times in the future where it may offer a solution, prevent worse and save a lot of extra worries, costs and help.

I think that a substance like psilocybin certainly deserves a place in health care. Especially the lack of negative effects makes it actually quite harmless to experiment with. Especially for people themselves it can offer a lot, but also on a larger scale it could relieve waiting lists and healthcare costs. I am not really a ' help seeker ' myself and that was certainly not necessary in this case, I think, but I can imagine that many other people in a similar situation would contact their GP or mental health care provider. Again, it is not a miracle cure and not everyone will benefit from it equally, but if you could make 10, 20, 30 percent of people more self-reliant in this way, that would be wonderful, also certainly interesting at the policy level for health insurers and the government! It has my support and I will certainly order more from Earth Resonance in the near future
