Mental health - please take care of it

I’d rather eat a nice small but nourishing meal and have snacks after throwing up if it happensthan dose on an empty stomach. Best to wait an hour or two after food though.

That’s me though.

Psilocybin should not be treated as if it is peyote.
It is not supposed to be such experience.

Dose on empty stomach - always. This way you can also dose properly and not get irregular doses depending on how much food you have eaten.

And you are supposed to eat just a bit after eating the dose.

And by the way, it isn’t unhealthy at all to faste for a day and eat in the evening… Matter of fact, opposite.

Hey, new US hotline is also 988. Both numbers route you to the same suicide and crisis hotline but 988 is easy to remember. Might be worth an edit?

Thank you, added it to the list.

For those that remember I had some issues some time ago. Since then i have been ok and thought I was “healed”

For those who don’t know:
I am a security consultant in a psychiatric hospital, I take care of the cameras, intruder alarms and electronic Doorlock on isolation units.

Recently my issue has returned but worse.
The problem is I really don’t have the feeling my job is having a big toll on me. The thing I’m talking about only happens when I’m doing something relaxed, never in a stressfull emergency situation.

What happens:
My eyes lock up, become basically blind. Impulses become too much, almost can’t talk or listen anymore. Body goes into full sweat mode and I start smelling super strong smells that I don’t recognize.

Then after around 10min max it goes away like nothing happened.

Mostly just fucks with my self-confidence.

Thanks for reading, I just don’t really have other places to share.
Thanks guys

This effect is called phantosmia and unfortunately has a lot of things it is tied to.

I am not a doctor but if you have a family history of Parkinsons or have had previous seizures, make an appointment with a neurologist.

According to WebMD you probably just have Ebolavirus. No biggy @frame.b022, just drink lots of tea.

@iNoLikeFlexyDecks I second what Not-A-Doctor-Justin is saying here; I’d get that checked out, especially if you’ve had brain trauma recently.

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor and my father lost his medical license during his midlife crisis for writing narcotic prescriptions to strippers.

No head trauma happened.

But I’ll take the advice anyway.

I have some trust issues with the medical industry that I need to get over.

Thanks :robot:

The industry is a toxic disaster but within it are people usually trying to help.

Yeah unfortunately these days, a lot of the ‘LSD’ you’ll find is not actual LSD. Most prominently, you’ll get the NBOMe family of research chemicals. They are psychedelics, but unlike LSD, you can lethally overdose on NBOMes, and at a pretty low dose too. People have gone into comas or even died as a result of the NBOMes. With a lot of them, the dose range between getting an effect and overdosing is very slim, making it very easy to accidentally overdose. Test your stuff before you take it.
