I tried LSD and it made me severely suicidal. I had to take up a religion to not kill myself. On the dysthymia front, I’ve had it constantly since age 9 and am now 27. It’s not something I expect to change. Most people who have dysthymia learn coping mechanisms rather than trying to actually cure it. Major Depression on the other hand (which in my case would be a double depression) is more severe and more treatable

Dysthymia is already “lightly depressed”. LSD made me majorly feel unfit for this reality. And yes the set and setting were great both times, I’m just very unlucky



Ya, I would definitely have guessed LSD would be a terrible idea.

Ayahuasca is an entirely different kind of thing.


It still sounds like a very scary experience
