Using Psilocybin Mushrooms to heal my anxiety, depression & trauma

I discuss (ramble) my journey using 4.5g of psilocybin mushrooms to alleviate my past traumas, anxiety, depression and overall fearful mental state.
Feel everything, let go and experience life - and most of all, don’t forget to PLAY.

[@amelialucy8778]

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.

[@user-mt8nt6od4k]

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

[@ingridsara213]

Eek I’m autistic too and might wanna try mushrooms. How do I go about it?

[@torbjornkarlsen]

All my life I've felt like the fish who's being commanded to climb the tree. I think it's anxiety. Whenever there's a task with any important implications I have this awful discomfort and I hesitate to no end. I really hope mushrooms can do something for me. I'm so tired of pretending to be well. Even if I accomplish something today, tomorrow is going to be the same uphill battle.

[@chaneldays]

I hope it works for you too x

[@Saturnarium]

This is beautiful. I took this exact dose in 2021, 4.5g of psilocybin and I had this exact experience... the feeling that nothing can hurt me and physical existence is just a moment in eternity. I felt connected to other beings on earth, knowing that they are connected to me even though we don't really know each other "here". I also came back from the experience willing to enjoy earthly pleasures because we need a physical body to enjoy them.... I felt I am several people at the same time, I also felt the sense of never ever being alone and can relate to the feeling if willing to take other people's pain away but not being able to... the only way is by advocating for psychedelics. I am ready for another heroic dose, I also got some amanita muscaria but haven't tried it yet, waiting for the right moment. Thanks for this, it's great to know that more people are getting "IT"!

[@chaneldays]

That is amazing! Im so happy you had that an amazing experience too 😊 aren’t Amanitas just the most gorgeous mushrooms - I have a painting of them on my wall. I’ve never tried them though. Now that it’s been a year I’m also feeling like it’s almost time again for a booster. Thanks so much fir sharing your story with me, it is lovely to know they’re kindred spirits out there 💜

[@squamish4244]

This is an encouraging story, thank you. Everything you mentioned is a primary source of the fear and terror that fuels my existential OCD - ironically triggered by a horrible trip on way too powerful pot brownies many years ago. I have a tremendous amount of fear around psychedelics despite knowing their potential and feeling stuck and out of options regarding anything else.

[@darylmillar5028]

Beautiful, interesting and educational story

"I had a hard time feeling like I belonged anywhere and I just felt awfully alone", I've only watched the very beginning of your video and I couldn't stopped crying. I am hoping psilocybin mushrooms will help me too. I am also feeling very anxious, and have been suffering from "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" / CPTSD for many years. Chronic stress and childhood traumas are the root cause, definitely. So far, mild/ high doses didn't do much, except for this "peaceful feeling" you described, I will try again with higher doses. Your testimony is boosting me! Thank you for sharing your story ! 🌈

[@chaneldays]

Thank you for sharing you story x

[@harrollcooke]

Amazing Story Chanel and I can imagine this wasn't easy to talk about. I too was tossed around as a kid, in pretty much every way one can imagine. Spent 25 years drinking, doing drugs and living in anger and depression. I was on anti depressants and 2 sleep meds for years. I spent a year and half doing 2.5-4 grams of dried cubensis mushrooms every 3rd day. I would meditate, exercise, listen to music, play with my dogs, pet my cat and reflect. I would spend hours crying about everything, asking what I did to deserve all this and doing my best to forgive everyone including myself which was wonderful. I still struggle here and there but I don't take any meds. I sleep really well. I'm learning how to move forward in a new way. Leaving my old self behind is very difficult but it seems to get easier every day. Taking large doses every few days is NOT what I recommend! That's just what I felt I needed to do as I had a lot of trauma to sort out. Also, I've been doing mushrooms since I was 15 so I know how to handle feeling when they come up without freaking out. I'm not even saying mushrooms are for everyone but I know how much they love us and want to help. They won't do what you want them to do but they will do what you NEED them to do. One has to give up all expectations of what a trip should looks like. Gotta lean into what comes up and go with the flow...

[@chaneldays]

Thank you for sharing your story You’ve had a rough road and did the hard work - I can’t even imagine having that many trips each week - your strength is astonishing

[@harrollcooke]

@@chaneldays It seems crazy and my friends and family thought I had gone completely off the rails. I had one friend, that smokes meth every day say, "dude! you're going to fry your brain!!" WTF? You smoke meth every day and somehow you think mushrooms are the things that are going to burn me out? okay...People drink every day, smoke meth, do coke, smoke week, take pills yet we think tripping once or twice a week is what a crazy person does. It's the change of perspective that seems to scare people the most. The idea that you can learn too much about ourselves, nature and the universe that just seems too overwhelming for one person to handle. It's not

Thank you so much for sharing this. I have been working up to taking that dose for a while. I'm a bit nervous and having anxiety doesn't help, but hearing your experience has given me the courage to go for it.

I was wondering if my two cats would freak me out a bit during the trip but now i'm excited to see how they appear to me :D Sending you love and grattitude x

I’ve been microdosing since October and what you said about not jumping into fight or flight when phone rings etc is what I’ve experienced as part of my progress with the mushrooms. Or when my 24 year old gets in her anxiety stuff I used to get triggered and react myself , take it personally, and now I can say oh she’s not feeling good, and just be patient and help instead of hinder. She is also MD ing and I’m hoping she will do a guided large dose (and me too). Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@nyxian_grid]

I am always surprised (but also not) about how similar these experiences are. I saw myself in your descriptions, and I think just watching this I was transported back to those moments and epiphanies. I was told once that after something like this, we now have a red chord linking us to that knowledge, to that essence and love we "discovered". And I try to remember that chord when I am not in those experiences. This video reconnected me to that chord :)

[@chaneldays]

I love that chord analogy - Thankyou for sharing it 💓🍄

[@EverybodysSister2023]

That is so enriching for me to pondrr.... Thank you for that "cord" comment. I'm 53 and bought some capsules of Golden Teacher and Hillbilly something. They arrive tomorrow. Did you fast? How long until it kicked in? Mine are capsules so if after a half hour or hour, if I don't feel anything, do I take another? I feel like I live under a black cloud. Your comment really resonated with me. Thank you for your comment, 🙏👐🌹🤗 and please advise.

[@chaneldays]

@@EverybodysSister2023 yes I fast so I don’t eat in the morning and normally start trip around 9-10 If you’re not feeling anything after an hour add a little bit more I’d say

[@squamish4244]

This is really helpful. I have OCD, I struggle with a benzodiazepine dependency not for physical reasons but because of tremendous fear, and have constant doubt and a terror of death ironically triggered by something a powerful, advanced healer said to me in a state of oblivion about how much her words (she's an atrocious verbal communicator) would traumatize me. Everything I've done has failed to truly uproot the deep fear that I live with every day and that controls my life like a prison. I really hope this works; I don't know what else to do anymore, after 17 fucking years of permanently being in crisis and yeah, my poor adrenals must be exhausted.

When I went to a weekend workshop with Lynne Roberts for Shamanic Reiki, that was what I got too. Just have fun. Don't be so serious. Don't allow yourself to get stuck in the muck of despair. I try to stay connected to my inner child, but it is hard not to get sucked into the seriousness of life or how we humans view life so seriously. Life isn't meant to be taken seriously. It is literally about living and staying open and curious. I still struggle though even though I know that.

[@veganchiefwarrior6444]

I love how u went straight for a hard dose at 2g hahaha man.. i was pacing back and forth on 1 gram i was having a panic attack it was horrible.. it was my first time taking it alone, id had 1 gram and 3 grams before that with a friend and man we were laughing so hard i could barely breathe cause i kept coming up with the most random thoughts, i was a "bog slug" just laying out in the swamp in the mud n the magic mushroom man was walking around doing this goofy hillbilly laugh that kept coming out of me that id never done before lol "did you know... A pelican.. is a realbird" i remember thinking that was the funniest thing to say cause realbird was said like it was some sort of species 😂 you took it outside in the garden? man you are crazy.. you dont have bull ants and jack jumpers n stuff? I took 3 grams in a rainforest with a few friends camping a year or so ago and had leaches crawling all over me it was so hectic i was loving life till that moment, they were coming at me cause i was playing music on my bluetooth speaker n being loud talking to my friends.. not a good time.. ive taken a gram and went to a rave, freaked out on the way there it was really hard to go in but i was good once i got in for about an hour then i was cooked n had to sit down, i once tried to take 10 grams with lemon and couldnt get it all in me because it was making me want to vomit andi didnt want to throw up what i had and waste it.. got about 5 grams in and then sat at the kitchen table head in hand nautious af for hours then went to bed, couldnt sleep all night, by the time the morning came i felt the most euphoric ive ever felt i was singing and all it was amazing lol.. anyway.. i took just 10mg last week to try help me with my intense anxiety and depression and panic that ive got atm from quitting smoking and all it really did was make me feel like i was going to be stuck with an eternal need to yawn which i wasnt a fan of, i feel like every time i take mushrooms im like nah thats it im done with this stuff its no good but then i end up so desperate with my mental health that i want to hive it another chance because i wont take man made drugs cause im a naturalist probaly outof fear.. anyway i quit weed 6 months ago and tobacco 2 weeks ago, i got alopecia in my beard after i quit the weed because of the withdrawals from that plus the anxiety from smoking tobacco on its own.. ive now lost most of my beard at this point and havnt been able to leave the house for over a year, long story but i quit smoking weed and tobacco 5 years ago and went through major depressive disorder and anxiety and was bed ridden and like wailing for 9 months and ended up having to go back to just weed alone and then maybe 6 months later i quit that and was fine from memory, had 2 years of a social butterfly stage loving life going to festivals and bush doofs by myself which is crazy for me because i was addicted to amoking sinse 14 and could ever leave the house from like 21 years old and then tried to quit at 26 and thats when i went through hell the first time and decided i no longer wanted to buy land and move away from society even tho id already collected like every fruit tree in pots ready for when i did and now till this day ive got allthese exotic fruits in pots and its so overwhelming watering them everyday and feeding and weeding them and they all need up potting now but i have no room for them because i planned on having them all planted on some property by now and now that im going through depression again ive got my mum keeping everything alive cause im stuck in bed with intense panic and anxiety again because silly me got addicted again a bit over a year ago because i somehow forgot how bad addiction and quitting was, so now here i am, on youtube, with a gram in 4 capsules in front of me trying to figure out how much i need to take to hopefully stop me waking up feeling like im gonna have a heart attack from panicking about all these worries flying through my brain that i cant block out and hopefully help my mood in general so i can atleast get out of my bed ridden state and im here watching your video which i will now restart and watch all the way through but man.. i dunno if i ahould take quarter gram or whoke gram or make up some more n go for a big dose but i think condlsidering how much i felt the 10mg dose last week im not so sure if i should even take the whole 1 gram cause it hit me hard and these shrooms are a coouple years old now, i thought they would have lost potency but apparently not lol, same time i dont wanna take not enough again and waste my time in confused, life sucks.. i feel like i can feel the yawns comong on already and i havent even ingested any, maybe it got into my system while making the capsules.. yea.. i think it has lol

[@amypayjack6481]

Most people take too much when microdosing. If it's giving you anxiety then you're likely too high for a microdose but not high enough for an actual trip. When I microdosed I used only 50 mg. You need a very precise scale that can measure that small of an amount. Measuring with a spoon can vary greatly. You can gradually try more than 50 mg, but more than 150mg isn't really a microdose anymore and it's not necessary. I had no side effects from the 50mg but I started noticing the beauty in the world. And even after I stopped that beauty is still there. However. This didn't fully cure my depression, maybe if I did it longer. I tried maybe a few months. it would depend on the neurotransmitter that your are actually lacking making you depressed as well. I started taking amino acids and they were life changing as well. Tryptophan, dlpa. And gaba all were very beneficial for me. Trudy scott has a great website about the amino acids. I'm still very glad i used the mushrooms though as it opens your awareness so you can view the world differently. Healing mental health issues is multi-faceted, so I always recommend more than one thing. Learning somatic experiencing and eft/tapping also was life changing. Both are fantastic do it yourself trauma healing tools

[@treaclebuns]

What an amazing video. I'm so glad that you've had such a long-lasting positive experience. I'm wondering if your connection with universal love was different from your experience of Earthly love. I get the impression that our Earthly love is a pale shadow of universal love. Sometimes I think I think we don't experience true love on Earth only an obsessive need. Do you feel the same way?

[@chaneldays]

Oh it’s very different - universal was without doubt - it was perfect and constant - an infinite state. Human love varies and has difference and fluctuations. Still beautiful though in its own way

Hi Chanel, thanks so much for sharing your journey experience with us. It was very helpful as I prepare to do my first one. My question for you is this: were you taking antidepressants when you had your journey? I currently take 10mg of Lexapro for anxiety and the woman who is going to facilitate my journey said she is concerned that I won't feel the effects as much because of the antidepressant. I was curious if that's why you ended up taking the hero's dose of 4.5grams?

[@chaneldays]

No - I wasn’t on any medication when taking mushrooms And yes - it took 4.5g for me to finally “trip”

[@BlueCollarPhilosoper]

[@chaneldays]

I did two smaller doses Third time I took 4.5g and that did it But the amount of psilocybin per gram differs based on the individual mushroom

Did you have to do any special preparation (mindfulness exercises) before your breakthrough, or did it just happen spontaneously the 3rd time?

@@chaneldays thank you for sharing your story. I have suffered with anxiety my entire life. My life is falling apart right now. I am addicted to alcohol. I have some DMT and my hope is that the DMT will help me get out of this hell.

[@marcomonge9939]

This is a really interesting story - I have been struggling with this for a long time exactly with what it seems you were going through and I'm wondering if your experience of change was immediately after your trip stopped. Can you tell me if you feel that it has changed the way you feel inside and has it made your day to day better since you have taken them. I have been reading more and more about the use of psilocybin and really wanted to have the experience myself but of course I live in a place where they are not legal so I have no idea where I would find them.

How many grams should I take? I’ve never tried it before and I’m on venlafaxine which is an SSRI 75 mg and from what I heard if you were on that you need to up your dose to get an effect

Mushrooms changed my life…

[@aum5359]

brewing in hot water will destroy the actives, thats why you didnt get much from ur 2 g dose or 3 g dose . heat destroy the actives so avoid doing that and youll see the difference . id just macerate it in orange juice if you must , but no heat !

[@KeishaKiger]

Oh, I’m glad I seen this because I take an SSRI and they say you should take Moore to get an actual result if you are on an SSRI so should I take like 8 mg

Not true, you don't know what strength they were since they were wild foraged. Alot of them contain less than 1 percent of active compounds. If you try something like Psilocybin Natalensis, or Penis Envy, the concentration can be over 2 percent. It depends upon genetics and growing conditions. Also, whether it was fresh or dried.

[@23stars23]

Did you do micro dosing at all for your anxiety before you did this full trip? I have been and found it helps with GAD but doesn't seem to help with the more acute anxiety I get from certain situations and triggers

[@chaneldays]

Yes I did - I found I needed at least 3g to feel a sense of calmness but the anxiety would return same day - it took the 4.5 to reset my brain - I now do it every 6 months for a top up

@@KeishaKiger yes I just steep the mushrooms in mildly hot water with lemon and honey

[@ChRiStY4t5]

I would risk my life to get this treatment. Since I was 2 I don't remember anything that felt "good". My father went from pedophile to sodomy, to full on raping me, and when that got boring he began raping my pets to death and made me clean the blood off him before going back to work. I've come so far, but this fight is pure hell. I just want some semblance of happiness while I'm still on this earth.

[@chaneldays]

I’m so sorry you’ve lived through a nightmare. I understand the trauma of abuse and how your own mind becomes an unsafe alarming place. I was at my most desperate when I decided to try this, I had nothing to lose. And by some miracle it changed my whole life. I hope you also get to experience life with a kind mind and safe place where past hurts do not continue to hurt you. Here in Australia they have now made psilocybin and mdma legal through use with psychiatrists - so you take them under their supervision while they support you- maybe your country might be doing something similar? If not I would say have someone you trust to mind you should you decide to try them - sending my love x

@@chaneldays wow.... That was so touching. I really do appreciate that you took the time to say all that. It feels quite emotional...

[@chaneldays]

@@ChRiStY4t5 I’m happy my words helped a little. I understand what it’s like to live in fear and darkness without hope that it will ever end (even though I didn’t experience the absolute hell you did, I will never understand why this life can serve such darkness to innocent children..) . I wanted to end my own life just so I could stop hurting, but for my kids I tried mushrooms, which was scary for me, but that brought back the light and even though they didn’t erase the memories they made it possible for me to live in peace and find happiness again. I hope with everything I have that you get to experience that - it took me 35 years to get here but hopefully now more ppl will have access to something that might help them when nothing else has - if you do manage to try them i hope that they also free you from your past and give you back your future - you deserve more than you have been given xx

i think part of the reason is using boiling hot water…? if water is too hot it can break down a lot of the psilopsybin compounds so you when you were using 3 grams maybe only half of it was availaible due do boiling it in hot water
