If you go in and out of depression, would psyclobin mushrooms be a bad idea?

Question

last time i did them i had a bad trip, it felt like every bad emotion poured out at once, it was terrible, i linked it with my spout of harsh depression earlier that week. i am tempted to do them again though, for personal reasons. im not always depressed, just sometimes it all comes out and i feel like ****, but in my day to day life i usually dont feel depressed. so do you think i would relive my prior experience?

Answer 1

it would probably be a bad idea. psychedelics tend to bring to the  fore hidden psychological states, so you could experience a difficult trip.

if you must trip, have a low dose and see if you can work out exactly why you're feeling depressed at the moment...or better, wait until you've sorted out some stuff in your life.

Answer 2

Yes.  You don't want to mix psychoactive substances with clinical depression, or even something as mild as just "feeling down".

Answer 3

Yes I think it would be a bad idea. If you are already thinking about the fact that you could get depressed, then it could easily bring it out while you are on them.

I have a long history of severe depression though & have used LSD a couple of times. I never had a bad experience at all on it, I was with good friends who I trust & felt comfortable.
