Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

[@patriaciasmith3499]

Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!

[@steceymorgan814]

Yes, dr.sporessss I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

[@elizabethwilliams6651]

I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.

[@patriaciasmith3499]

Is he on instagram?

[@steceymorgan814]

Yes he is. dr.sporessss

Feeling numb is the worst, today I cried for no reason and you know what crying is much better than not feeling anything.

[@softsparkles3630]

I agree so much

[@rawanbadran829]

i agree it def sucks. i’ve felt so numb these past few months that i can’t even cry no matter what

[@lunemlp]

[@17honhathong56]

I cry whenever I have the urge to cry, it's sooooooo satisfying

[@gonnareclaimmycrown]

@@rawanbadran829 Have you overcome it cause I have the same problem, I'm so tired of feeling nothing but the constand urge to disappear and kms, I wish I was able to cry cause that would help so much with coping, at this point i just walk with a dead face, faking a smile whenever around my friends and family and also anger issues appeared, i just hurt myself to calm down wonder when it'll get to the point of cutting my arms. I just write out my problems on the internet so it will easen my mind and distract me, sorry if you feel overwhelmed because of it

[@anon7057]

The thing about hurrying is an American mentality. Yesterday I saw there was a line behind me at self checkout but for once I decided I didn’t need to rush to finish as quick as possible and could do the task calmly. It’s not rude to slow down, it’s about giving weight and energy to the right things. Despite what American society tells you, you don’t need to be exceptional at anything, you can just vibe your whole life and it will be a great one! ~lessons from an Italian expat

[@ocarter3560]

Thank you for sharing this! Something I’ve started practicing this last ~6 months and it’s scary but feels right for me! I don’t need to be or live exceptionally, just want to move forward, grow and enjoy it!

[@greenjoonpie]

god this is quite brave of you. I applaud your courage. I often have experiences with social anxiety (no diagnosis) but the burden to be more accustomed to people and failing them, worrying about their thoughts on who I am is still a difficult task for me to unwrap so thank you for sharing. You are indeed an inspiration for what mindset I want to be in

[@vvelvettearss]

love this you're so right. it's a much more stress free life to live it slowly and calmly. I try to do it whenever I can no need to rush thankyou for sharing

[@yousufqu_]

Omg I HATE slow people in line

[@anon7057]

You can be annoyed… but we don’t have to go faster just because you’re mad :)

[@just_shhh]

I cried so hard while watching this video. I genuinely know how BAAAD it feels to feel empty. During the peak of my depression, it felt so scary and disgusting to wake up feeling empty, fall asleep at night still feeling empty, and going through the day and facing people with a smile, ALL while still feeling empty. I'm just really really happy that you have found even a glimpse of light in that dark cave you are currently in, Kaiti. I also thought before that there is no end in what I'm feeling.. but I'm proud to say that I am here, after almost 2 years.. present and alive. Not fully happy, not fully at peace, but still breathing and existing. Love you so much, my Kaiti Yoo. 💗

Pls Do Gyan mudra /chin mudra everyday for atleast 30 minutes. Also do Ashtanga yoga everyday, especially pranayam and meditation. You can also wear rudraksha mala which has been proven to help mentally. Have lots of natural sunlight(vitamin d helps a lot). Have a good ayurvedic diet which has all important minerals and vitamins. All this helps a lot in anxiety and depressive disorder and it's proven. It helped me too. Even if you can't do all others, do the chin mudra. Best of luck !

[@LB-rc3nt]

Oh dear heart..Try the Carnivore diet!! (all meat and meat by products ) People are giving many anecdotal reports of getting set free from long standing major depression and anxiety on this diet!! It seems to happen very quickly too!! The carnivore testimonials are all over the internet right now!! ..And also; from a more spiritual standpoint now.. I would encourage you to try opening your mouth and praying to God, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and say: "Lord Jesus please save me and be my Lord..I give you my life today..Please take it and make of it what you will..I thank you for loving me and hearing me now!!" ...My heartfelt and loving prayers going with you

This is 100% how i felt the last few years. Went from a job i worked overtime becauase i was passionate about it to barely able to get anything at all done in a day. Cycle of exhaustion, guilt, shame, fear

[@veronicagrave159]

I 100% have been going through this for 3 years. I was so hyper productive and busy for 10+ years. And I’ve crashed and burned since the pandemic and a series of personal/family issues. It’s been difficult to recover from the burn out after the depression has gone away.

I have been depressed for a long time, but after taking shrooms few months ago, l feel much happier and highly motivated and my ADHD gone , lost a ton of anxiousness and had a few epiphanies about how I should live my life. I decided to buy an ounce for backup, but haven’t yet felt the need to take any more since then.

I have autism, I was diagnosed with it when I was 15. I tried shrooms and it made me function so much better.

[@yung_Latios]

It all sucks. I hate my job, I hate my life, no one wants to hangout, my family hates me, I have no time for myself I'm just a wage slave still struggling to get by. I do everything alone. I go outside everyday but it reminds me of everything I don't have. Seeing so many people enjoying themselves with tons of friends and then there's me, just some nobody no one cares about who's been completely left behind. I can relate to you so hard. Whatever days off I do have, I don't even get out of bed. My life is a complete regrettable waste. I wish I was never born.

[@javierpacheco8234]

Wish I wasn't born either, my life is full of loneliness as well and I'm just 23.

[@yandangao9258]

I wish I was never born. I think about that everyday.😢

[@yung_Latios]

@@javierpacheco8234 sorry you feel that way man. People are fake anyway. All they care about is what you're going to do for them. It's better to be alone

[@yung_Latios]

@@yandangao9258 Same I think about that every night before I go to bed. I even thought about suicide many times last year when my life hit rock bottom. I'm still struggling trying to get myself back together. The pain only makes us stronger.

[@charonrose3306]

I'm 53 that feeling never ends

[@rosieee5545]

The scariest thing is that you seem so okay. People can not see what happens within a person if it is not an obvious wound. So much healing has to come and it will. My dad died on this Christmas Day, I was only 14. My mum’s had serious mental health problems and has been unstable my entire life. I have been struggling so much and people can’t see it. It makes you feel helpless and invisible. I just want to let anyone out there know that you will get through this. You can and will. Even though you have a lot to get through, the light is always lurking somewhere in the dark, you just have to find it. Thank you Kaiti, for being vulnerable and sharing your experiences, hopefully everyone can grow and support each other. Smile at someone next time you see them, you never know how much they need it. ☀️

[@discipleofjesus719]

I’m so sorry to hear that. You are so brave for sharing that and I want to remind you that you are loved and worthy. Depression is so hard, but there is always hope out there. Make sure that you reach out to someone to talk about this because you deserve the help you need. Please stay safe, and may God bless and strengthen you and your family 🤍 and remember God loves you unconditionally as He gave His only Son to live, die, and rise for you. He is there for you too “Come to Me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest” Matthew 11:28

Why are you depressed tell me. you have to release your emotions or else it will become worse.

Thank you for this words. 🙂

[@girlher9720]

I had anxiety last year, Nov. 2022 and thought I’ll be in darkness for the rest of my life.. Started lexapro @ 5mg and it gets worse before it gets better at first.. But don’t give up.. comply to your meds and it usually takes 3-4 weeks to feel relief but in my case, I wasn’t sleeping well and feeling physiololigical symptoms.. it took me 5 months to really feel a relief. And for now, I’m back to normal Praise God! Therapy helps and don’t stop taking meds once you started unless your doctor tell you to do so. Try to change your routine. I know it’s really hard at first. You’ll get better. This too shall pass. Have faith!

When I search up videos of people dealing with depression to try to feel not so alone, I end up feeling even more alone. Even other people with depression seem happier than me. People can see my depression on my face and my body language and they treat me differently because of it. I try to hide it and it still comes through. I hardly have the energy and motivation to fake a smile. I feel so alone.

[@ceooflonelinessinc.267]

I (34) have been depresses all my life. The wors thing is that I'm depressed due to something that will never change, speaking I can't cruse my depression. I (33) have a learning disability. My IQ is approx 80. I got tested twice in school. It is mainly due to the fact that my mother drunk alcohol during her pregnancy (FASD spectrum/Fetal Alcohol Syndrome) Everything is harder in my life. No matter how hard I try, I always fail. I needed to visit special ed class till 18, I never had many friends, I never had the ability to visit college or achive high education, I only work at sign holder jobs...or fast food...currently I'm unemployed. I also never had a girlfriend, let alone something as a date. I still live with my parents. I couldn't survive on my own. I only learned how to do my taxes last year. I don't know what to do anymore. My counsellor gave me also antidepressants. But they don't help. All I ever wanted is to be healthy, but these pills can't change me. What should I do?

November 2022 was really a point where everyone was on their breaking point(it seems), including me. Some major endings happened in my life too- relationship, and a new career. I have been suffering for the past 6 months. Only in May that I started to feel better. All the best and all the power to you Kaiti. Remember to take care of yourself. Take your meds, eat healthy and go for long hot girl walks. Snapping out of an overthinking spiral is really important to me. Also dancing or some form of expressing yourself can help❤

Creating the feelings of love is what has taken me out of my depression. It can work for you too.

[@tedwilson1477]

THIS! Love is underneath every negative emotion, if you let it shine through.

I can really relate to you about the family stuff and its such a difficult thing because you have to balance taking care of yourself and maintaining privacy for your family. It will get better.

I was diagnosed with depression shortly after I turned 14 and I have struggle with it for so many years. I’m 19 now and i still struggle. But not at much as my past self, who was in therapy two times per week. I want to be thank you for this video and for being so vulnerable. Depression is so hard and it’s so common and I’m so glad that we are starting to be able to talk about it more openly. ❤ I’m so sorry that you struggled with depression and I’m so happy to hear you are doing better now ❤❤❤❤

[@SSM12457]

I struggle mentally as well. Life is difficult living. Too many problems. Im trying my best though. How is your journey going?

[@RedaReda-vl9ff]

​@@SSM12457dont give up,i wish you a wonderfull day

[@MicaLosada]

I relate so much to this. 😢 Thank you for posting it Kaiti. Lots of love ❤

You are an amazingly strong person. I believe you will get better as time passes. Let yourself rest and try to be a little bit nicer towards yourself.

[@druidriley3163]

Poor thing. Working is difficult. You have to push through personal things to work and support yourself. There is no other way unless you move back in with people who will support you. Adulting is hard. If you can cut out some high pressure things - school, toxic/demanding people - it will help you rest and recover. Good luck.

Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your journey with us. It's beautiful to see how you're growing in character and faith this season. I'll be praying that you will be healed from depression, this season will end.
