Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.

I was diagnosed with bipolar since my teenage. Spent my whole life fighting bipolar. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

I was diagnosed with PTSD at the age of 7, I’m 18 now. It doesn’t seem like it gets better, it’s gotten worse for me over the years. I’ve been used to high levels of anxiety, and not sleeping much. The night terrors and episodes have been quite difficult to deal with, and I didn’t take my mental health seriously until I attempted suicide a few months back. It feels like an emotional roller coaster, just on edge all the time. Bursting into tears at random, and having flashbacks. I don’t know when I’ll be able to get a grip on things, but I hope soon. I’ve started doing counseling and I’ve been on quite a few meds, but nothing seems like it’s working. Now I’m not going to give up, just gets hard sometimes y’know. If I could say anything to anyone, please don’t hurt yourself or attempt suicide. It’s a permanent solution for a temporary problem, it hurts everyone around you. If you have thoughts of suicide, please reach out to someone. Don’t become another victim of it, things will eventually get better. Through time and work, but at the end of it all. You will see a good change in yourself, God bless every single one of y’all. And please be safe

my family :

• insults my weight
• insults my grades
• calls me stupid and compare me to other people
• insults my friends
• controls my whole life
• keep telling me what to do, what to be one day

also my family :

“why aren’t you spending time with us?”
“it’s that damn phone again”
“she’s just overreacting”
“stop being so dramatic”

"Come on, why are you depressed, there's so much good in the world!"
"I don't know DAD, why do you have asthma, there's so much air in the world!"

And so people stop freaking commenting about this being on tik tok, yes, I know, that's why I used quotations. I'm sorry if this sounds rude, I'm just tired of people telling me that

Today, my dad jokingly threw socks at my head. I got annoyed when they fell behind my bed. He said “if your head wasn’t weirdly shaped like that, then they wouldn’t have bounced behind your bed.” What I wish he realized is that these sly remarks really hurt.

I have totally withdrawn from society. I know my mental health is a mess but i will try to do anything to keep myself better
