I've been experimenting with Ashwaganda because why not.

I've had good luck with St. Johns Wort to help deal with general malaise and seasonal blues.

My general experience so far after a couple weeks is that my sleep has improved. I'm oddly more "aware" while asleep, which is odd, but I tend to stay asleep through the night a lot better.

I should have tracked my sleep with a FitBit or something for a week before starting, but I'm convinced I'm getting more restful sleep.

Tik Tokers have claimed that it causes them to be totally emotionless and numb to the world, which has not been my experience. Pretty sure they're just being dramatic for views. I've certainly felt pretty chill and less stressed out despite having gone through a couple very stressful months.

I'm not a doctor and can only speak to my own experience so definitley look into this stuff or talk to a doctor before taking it.

I've found it to be pretty helpful and wonder if any goons can say the same.

I tried shrooms earlier this summer for the first time ever and it was awful. Not totally related I guess but I don't have anywhere else to post about this.

I was reading about it beforehand and sites were talking about having life-altering experiences and deep realizations and stuff and all it did was take the emotions I was currently feeling (sadness, anger) and elevate them to even shittier levels. I was sad/angry because I had just found out my ten year old cat has heart disease. Terrible experience, my wife and a friend tripped with me and we all agreed it was bad.

I tried to run away. To take the easy way out. I'll live through the suffering. When I die, I want to feel like I did my best.

kind of. it's on this darkweb place called wal-mart

Ashwagandha made me feel a tiny bit flushed in a weird way, like I was standing in moderate sunlight all the time. I might try shatavari and see how that goes. It has steroidal saponins in it vs the steroidal lactones found in ashwagandha

I'm a bag of abuse and negativity and tripping made me realize I was carrying hate and suffering that I could drop at any point.

I'm sorry you had a bad time but taking shrooms straight up saved my life and mental health.

if you want actual, scientifically-verified more-restful sleep, just live in a high atmospheric pressure environment. Just a couple atm should do it. You'll also have more energy, burn more calories, build muscle faster, improve immune function, and a whole shitload of other benefits.

I'd heard similar from a couple people I know and trust which is why I gave it a try, but no dice.

sorry to dogpile on you, but you were *supposed* to feel that way. shrooms are great for breaking down emotional barriers and allowing us to feel things that we would otherwise suppress. the last time I took a large dose I didn't have a fun time, but I did grieve, which was in the end more beneficial.

for a good time on shrooms you want to be in a calm place emotionally, and do them outside in nature where you can experience the breathing of the trees and witness the fractal nature of our reality. I wish you better luck next time <3
