i was a hallucinogen enthusiast for a while and I still encourage people to try them, though after a bad trip I am not so enthusiastic about them
i have OCD, social phobia, mild BDD, very mild depression (except during winter)
i have severe personality shortcomings, etc
so aside from being fullblown borderline, schizophrenic, catatonic depressed, or bipolar, i do have my fair share emotional and psychological quirks
i am also a psych major and i am FASCINATED and well-read with all topics on psychology, especially psychopathology and psychopharmacology
anyway, my OCD has always been burdensome and I tried shrooms for the first time about a year ago
i was nervous about trying them, but they ended up being more mild than i expected. i kept doing them for a while, not noticing that they had an effect on my OCD. during a hallucinogen hiatus, i read that shrooms/acid/mescaline/ibogaine and other triptamines and psychedelics can be very beneficial to moderate psychological disorders, especially ones based on compulsive behavior
anyway, i did shrooms again, 2 grams of a strong batch, and right at the beginning, my obsesions began to creep up on me, so i embraced them for the first time ever, talked myself through them, and the rest of the trip was a peace of cake, free of ocd.
my ocd returned the next day, though
i did acid a little while after this, and though i still got a few symptoms of ocd, i found that i was able to face my obsessions head on and not do any compulsions
i did shrooms recently, 3.5 grams, and i freaked out, had a bad trip
id say stick to low doses and very slowly increase if you want to - just remember you took a drug if you start to get scared
