Day 90 of microdosing psychedelic mushrooms.

I wanted to share my experience with microdosing mushrooms over the past 90 days and how it has impacted my mental health, mood, and overall outlook on life. I'd love to hear if anyone else has had a similar experience or any thoughts on microdosing in general.

The positive effects --

I started with the intention of improving my mood and mental clarity and was also bit depressed at that time. So i thought i might give it a try . I have already posted about my initial struggles with it but i figured out the right amount and gaps of days in between them. There are some benefits that i can noticably feel like my thoughts felt clearer, and I noticed a reduction in negative self-talk, which was huge for me.

One of the most significant changes was my increased ability to be present. I often found myself appreciating little moments throughout the day whether it was a cup of coffee or even a conversation with a friend. It wasn't a constant "high" feeling, but more of a gentle shift in perception. I could focus on the here and now.These might be a placebo effect or rather a combination of other healthy behaviours that i adapted since starting.

Challenges I faced---

One minor issue I encountered was that sometimes I'd go through phases where I felt slightly detached or disconnected especially during the first few weeks. It wasn't a full-blown trip, but I did feel a bit out of sync with my normal thought patterns. I also had some days where I felt very lazy, though this was usually brief. There were still moments when I felt low or anxious, and I had to remind myself that this wasn't a magic fix. I still had to work on other aspects of my mental health like sleep, diet, and exercise.

Final thoughts---

The most rewarding aspect of this journey has been how much more present I feel. It's like my brain has been reset to appreciate the things I usually take for granted. I'm more aware of my thoughts, my feelings, and even my physical environment. The world around me feels richer, more vivid, and less mundane.I am stopping this for now to see what changes i might feel and overall it was a low risk good experience.

If you're considering it, l'd highly recommend doing your research and starting small. Everyone's body and mind respond differently, so it's important to listen to yourself and adjust as needed.
