I firmly believe that you stay significantly better (healthier and happier) in life if you enjoy your own life. (responsibly, of course)
apart from that, yeah, i’ve never taken LSD in my life, but i’ve microdosed magic mushrooms (which was ok i would say, it gave me the impression that i could look at things in my life much clearer and overall had a positive impact on me) and Ecstasy (which was a wild trip, i probably overdosed on accident, at first it was merely fun - i felt lighthearted -, but after 1 hour or 2, i started panicking, realized how shit in my life, sat there for like 2 hours just silently contemplating and when the trip ended, i felt different, though i’m still not sure in what sense. definitely worth an experience, but please people, be careful. i took half of the recommended dosis and already overdosed. it was too much. stay careful folks.
I was sort of berated constantly online (and offline… and everywhere…) for a time. I had a highly negative self image, and was on the verge of something worse than death–taking it out on everyone. DIY psychedelic therapy really helped me to understand and become accepting of myself. Do I recommend it? Hell no. It’s only if you want to, and you genuinely understand what you’re doing. For me, it seems to have turned out excellent. This understanding of myself helped me make a more informed decision regarding transitioning.
I don’t know where I’d be, had I not done what I did. I could have turned out an absolute asshole, could have had my thoughts repressed forever and not started HRT, I have no idea. I’m here, though, and surprisingly happy in life. To reiterate, I don’t indulge because I want to be happy, but because I am happy. Existing in this precious, tiny zone is what I consider to be the peak of my existence.
I share this story because I want to convey how many different ways there are to tackle an issue. Above all else, though, I want it to be made known that there’s no such thing as an unsolvable problem. And, of course, there’s the obvious connection between the trans experience, and the wider concept of self exploration. They’ve gone hand in hand for me.
My mind is healed. Now, the body. Then, finally, the world.
