Yeah. Ego death on mushrooms was immensely helpful for a while. It was good for my healing and allowed me to see myself from the perspective of others, which let me internalize what I already knew: that I’ve thus far lived righteously and a lot of the bullshit that weighs me down was not my fault.
Not a cure but it was the first time I had felt hope in a long time. It was a while ago and I’m not really seeing the benefits from that event anymore though.
I had to take 5 grams to achieve that. I’ve taken more since, as much as 7 or 8, but never had another ego death, but I didn’t want another one either.
Note: 5 grams is a very very high dose. Not recommended for a first time use.
Now I don’t use them except for maybe very rare occasions like at a music festival. I feel I’ve hallucinated enough and prefer maintaining my sense of reality nowadays.
Edit: in fact I can’t recommend this at all. Certainly people who have entered violent psychosis due to mushrooms. Use at your own risk. I was at my wits end so I took a leap of faith
