I stopped taking anti-depressants many months ago and the only thing I've noticed is I can actually sleep now, no more ambien needed. I'm still depressed as shit and wanted them to work but unfortunately they did not, over 30 years I've been trying different meds and therapy and the only thing that has ever helped was psilocybin. I wish I knew where I could get a refill...

Antidepressants don't change the reality that the world is on track to get a whole lot shittier for virtually everyone, and that there is a significant portion of the population that is full-force all-in behind the enshittification. Antidepressants won't make me forget about it and they won't make me ignorant about it, they will only numb me to it and everything else. I may not feel as "good" as being on antidepressants, but at least I'm able to feel something.
Considering a trip to Oregon to see what I can find there...
In the Netherlands you can legally buy grow kits for magic mushrooms. They are fairly easy to use, mostly just weekly/daily checks to keep moisture at the right level and making sure to harvest at the right times (you usually get multiple harvests from just one kit).
Personally i think doing a shroom trip alone is too dangerous … so maybe find a group first?
I've done it multiple times in the past with no sitter and come out ok. I'm not really a people person.
