    Hey man can we get a new update. I have Asperger’s myself. Started my first 2 grams last night and already feel like myself. Does things only get better the more you tripped?

      Yes! and the reverse too. If I leave it too long, like months between, energy fades again and I find myself back in old routines and just "getting by" not living. The ego will always return, and its the user's job to regularly keep it in check :)
      The last 4 times I've taken mushrooms (over ~3 years) I got this deep feeling that it "wasn't mushrooms" anymore, and that I should explore DMT next. I then proceeded to have a good trip anyway and started reading about it and researching, and ended up with a vape sitting on my lap.
      I took a few puffs in the garden 3 weeks ago, and started randomly dancing and moving to the music, energy flowing everywhere, and felt great for days! this has never happened before (I usually stay sat down my whole life at a computer)
      ..but I felt I must move

    Kaj sotala has an article on lesswrong called "building up to an internal family systems model" its a type of trauma therapy that people recommend doing with psychedelics. Its very different from CBT.

    Hi Alyx just watching through your new vid its been a long time since youre last one.Your vids have inspired me to use mushrooms and sclerotia to treat my a.s.d thank you for the inspiration i believe that this is my only chance to help these symptoms of depression and anxiety and emptiness is there any way i can get a hold of you for some tips.And the hemeroids i helped with changing my food choice i started the ketogenic diet and it makes me feel so much more healthy and less pain and inflammation in the area and it helps with feeling good in general and also it seems like you are ready to take a heroic dose again mate you are probably eating psilocybe cubensis maybe try panaeolus cyanescens or the wood lover psilocybe cyanescens the latter being the strongest psychedelic mushroom and the effects are said to be cleaner but the heroic dose is 5g of cubensis but with these ones you need less God bless.

      Hey, yeah I've been real distracted with relationship issues recently and got lost in pot for a while but I'm on the way through now, going to Amsterdam in 2 weeks to do another massive trip and get the emotion working again 😁
      Serotonin is what's not working I'm 100% sure. All classic psychedelics activate the serotonin receptors and make the user FEEL instead of only (over)think
      I'm on telegram and twitter but I might be quite slow at replying but will always get there in the end :)
      Yep I'm ready for another heroic dose, I've been so stuck these last years going nowhere back in my old thought patterns
      I've had cubensis and sclerotia but never cyanescens yet 😮

    Have you tried microdose mushrooms? I just read that 1.5 mg 3 times a week may help the brain form new connections, which could help treat Autism.

    • @TheRealAlyx
      @TheRealAlyx  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I've tried microdosing 0.1-0.5g mushrooms every few days back in 2018 and had a mild benefit, but found mega-dosing much more effective. I can't find a "sub-perceptual" dose as I notice even the 0.1g and feel sensory differences and slight "trippy" headspace. Would rather go hard and fast then not have to think about it for a while :)
      Bigger than bang, the better the benefit

      @@TheRealAlyx From what I read, microdose takes a while work, takes weeks or months to cause new connections to sprout, kind of like antidepressants work. Might be worth a 3-6 month trial to "grow the brain" 🧠. I got some great effects in college from low doses before class, totally obliterated anxiety without visuals, and understood concepts in class better. It's just impossible to determine exact dose from a natural product. Too bad psilocybin pills in exact doses aren't an option yet. Psilocybin is even being tested for Fragile X Syndrome to improve cognition by causing new connections to form in the brain. I can imagine it possibly helping people with learning disabilities for the same reason.

      ​@@jamessimpson9690 Ah I only tried for 2 weeks every 3rd day :) I've never worked well with things that take a long time to happen, hyper active brain just diverts to something else or gives up if it doesn't "work" efficiently fast enough to divert me into something else
      I've recently been exploring DMT for this same effect - a 10min trip and I have energy all day for 12-24hrs, and it erases anxiety and negative moods instantly - the transition is my biggest issue going from baseline autism to...something. I don't have to tell myself its working or wait for days 😬

      A little, the room dissolving into neon as I felt this massive energy blast that lasted all day of positive vibes but I've not had the chance to go further or more often due to relationship and life issues
      Hoping to explore more very soon - it seems more "efficient" than mushrooms for the same kind of energy 😁

      @@DankMemer42013 👍 I've been starting low with a weak vape mix and its been nothing but good things so far, energy for days even handled a hospital appointment without stress the day after a small trip. It also erases a headache/weed hangover/anxiety in a few seconds! I've been obsessively reading trip reports and Reddit for months too
