Psychedelics / Ayahuasca for PTSD treatment

mindfulnomad

New Here
Hello everyone! I'm new here. I have suffered for as long as I can remember with depression, anxiety and just feeling like I cant break free from it. Ive been reading a lot about psychedelic therapies and how they've help veterans with PTSD so I've started exploring that idea a little more and im hoping to connect with some people that have personal experience with psilocybin or ayahuasca.
 
Different hallucinogens have different… streaks, vibes, cores, focus, essence.

Ayehusca is deepest, darkest, most violent & primal FEAR & RAGE & desire to kill yourself to escape.

It was used, historically, to weed out weak warriors who would break under those fears… in battle, and boredom, and later. Kill them now, to save others later. OTHER hallucinogens were used (in the same region) for processing past & painful experiences. Local assholes reeeeeally delight in f*cking up hippy-dippy-westerners with nightmare fuel, and the overwhelming urge to kill yourself. As well as empowering rose-petals with chemical courage to do stupid shit in real life situations. Something like 3/4s of westerners killed STUPID, just did a ayehuesca ceremony last week, in some countries. So they think they are tougher than AKs. And? Just aren’t. Ayehuesca kills the brave, out of shame & reliving past pain, and emboldens idiots. Not just gun thug violence shit, in serious countries, but jumping 20 feet, nonsense, as if it were 5 or 10 feet. It lingers. Because if you’ve ACTUALLY lived though pain? You usually off yourself. If you just think you have? Real life dangers don’t seem “real”.

Don’t use ayahuasca to treat trauma. Just don’t. It’s like using ass-rape to “treat” vaginal rape. It’s… stupid.

- If you want to confront ghosts, see futures, see yourself as you were, are, might be? Peyote.
- Ditto, but in a good way? Rose colored glasses or a caring parent/friend who sees YOU and believes in YOU, who can reframe? Mescaline.
- Connectedness of all things? Psilocybin.
- Sensory explosions (both good & bad, trips are incredibly individual, good & bad & nothing in between)? LSD.
- Utter Helplessness, but not -exactly- in a bad way? Ketamine. INCREDIABLY useful in depression, a “new” kind of helplessness tends to blow minds with options they were unaware of, before, helpless. But k-holes are seeeeerious holes. You CANNOT get out, until the drug wears off. That is seeeeeriously useful for people trapped in other kinds of holes. But is also very dangerous for those who have issues with “against my will”. It can be good, or bad, or mindblowingly awesome. But it’s one of the riskier ones, like LSD, in that perspective reeeeaaaaally matters.
- Unbridled terror & misery & pain (far worse than anything you’ve experienced IRL, as it takes your real life experience, imagination/fear, & makes it worse)? Perspective doesn’t matter, you WILL be in hell. Pure nightmare fuel. Ayehuesca.

I’m a combat vet.

I happen to rather like most hallucinogens.

I won’t touch ayehuesca with a 10’ pole. Not only because I’m -legally- first peoples and get the gossip… but every vet I’ve known, or known of, whose done ayehuesca? Is dead. Because it is PAIN/SHAME/KILL Yourself.

Seriously… wanna line your ass up for someone to shove shit through??? Penises, chair legs, a rifle? Why nooooooot??? It’s the experience of a lifetime, man! Ass rape. Feel yourself bleeding into your abdomen & wow. So awesome. Begging & pleading & dying. The excruciating pain. The horrific infections, fever, death. It’s fantastic!

Ayehuesca can f*ck off. As can the trolls who giggle at the western eedjits intentionally dosin themselves. And killing themselves. Because people, 200 years ago, were slavers, and today are corporate f*cks. So let’s inflict pain on the damaged, because they’re white.

Racists annoy me. Of every color/ethnicity. And that’s all the shits killing hippy-dippy-westerners are. More racists. Killing damaged people, because they’re easy f*cking targets to exploit. Trying to find help. Only finding pain. And death.

Seeeeeriously. Ayehuesca is a cowards drug. Wanting to find out, BEFORE shit gets real, who is ruled by their fears. Who dies by them. IRL? You. Never. Know. How. ANYONE. will react… until they do. The skeeerdy cats? The most badass heroes. The big bad badass? The shits who get others killed. A hallucinogen that is supposed to tell the difference? Doesn’t. Per historical records. It “just” made the assholes at home FEEL as if they had the best & most badass at the ready. It didn’t. Also by historical record. It weeded out some… sure. Who might have been the best. In a real life situation. Whilst passing on some of the worst.

Seeeeerioysky shit drug. Don’t do it.

Unless you’re a masochist. If so? You’ll love it. Go for it. OTW? Hard pass.

Only the stupid & the ignorant take it… on purpose. It’s also widely used as a date rape drug, in certain countries, as it makes the testimony of victims… meaningless. Supplying fears. Rather than reality. People easily proved elsewhere SWORN to have been there. As they were in the fears/madness of the victim. So if it’s tested positive? Auto-out for anyone “actually” there. You will always REMEMBER the person who wasn’t there, however. And usually kill yourself within the year. It’s a pretty phenom date rape drug, but most rapists don’t even have the stomach to use it, as it implicates the innocent. They prefer blackout, rather than wrongfully accused. Recoil. Says something, doesn’t it? When even rapists find it untasteful? Shudder. Again, though, widely used in some regions. Just to disqualify the person being raped, as a witness, themselves.

Such. A. Gross. Drug.

FEAR. PAIN. SHAME. RAGE. KILL YOURSELF.

Gross. Disgusting.

At every level.

I used MDMA. I don't think I would still be alive without it. It provided me with tremendous validation as to what I had been through during my first two years (preverbal) and bridged the gap for me in recalling what happened. I still use the memories of my sessions with it to help guide me as I continue to heal. Highly recommend looking into what options are available to you.

Thank you for your response. I'm glad MDMA helped you and appreciate your encouragement. I like the idea of ayahuasca or psilocybin because they're natural plants. I'm happy to see more people being open about how psychedelics have helped them and even though I haven't dont any experience (yet!) the research is so promising and I'm hopeful. I've been doing tons of research in the last weeks and I think I've decided I'm going to do an ayahuasca retreat. I'm looking at one in particular but have a few others on my list I'm researching. I'll give updates on where I decide and how it goes!

Welcome to the forum. I haven’t tried any but am interested in Ketamine infusions. I found a doctor here who I am going to speak to soon. I am uncomfortable with psychedelics so I thought this might be the best step for me. There is a good documentary on Netflix about the topic called How to change your mind. 🧚‍♂️

Thank you for this thread. My son is convinced that this is the last option for him/her. I’m looking forward to learning from all of you as a result of you starting this thread so that I can support him/her in anyway I can. Best wishes as you move forward using all the modalities available for your healing journey. Thanks for sharing.
 
I just finished a 2 week IV Ketamine therapy. It was an experience. I feel it has helped me slightly… not a magic pill but moved me forward. It was done at a Dr office and dosed. I will get back to the forum about its full effect. The doctor explained the science of receptor regrowth, meaning my receptors have been down, although my transmitters are transmitting. I also did rTMS … 20 sittings. This is another alternative therapy or let us say second line approach. I go through debilitating episodes of this shit, and become a zombie, anxious and depressed. I have had ECT in the past but, it is inhumane and I couldn’t face it again. 🧚‍♂️

Hi, thank you for your post. I just wanted to see how your doing? So did you end up going to a retreat? Why did you recommend doing this treatment and was a successful for you?
