bipolar mushrooms
Bipolar and psychedelic mushrooms?
Has anyone with bipolar ever tried this, and what was the effect?
Just to give you an Idea of who I am. I was diagnosed as bi-polar around the age of 12, during my ups and downs I never truly lost sense of reality, ie feelings of wanting to die or of killing myself could be pushed away as bad ideas or thoughts, and likewise feelings of being an angel were just delusions(I didn't believe in the thoughts).
This is how I generally have felt on doses of 3.5g+
For me the feeling of mushrooms was amazing, coming up is the hard part, flying past feelings of "omg wtf did I do, shouldnt have eaten these shrooms, am I going to die? am I going to come back?"etc etc... you have to ignore these things and go with the flow, be brave and courageous. Still on the rise I have feelings throughout my body, as if part of me is wet and cool, somewhat tingly, it flows through me pulsing throughout. All of these feelings support the thoughts I am having, it increases until my flesh and muscles feel as if they are literally melting off, (it is not painful but can be very scary feeling) At this point I realize Im dead, but I feel amazing, my body is completely numb, And I suddenly realize why the grateful dead were so grateful. I feel one with everything around me, and have revelations past that of anything Ive ever known or thought <- Thats the part I liked about them, an event known as ego death, while never believing in god before it was now clear to me that he/she/it existed.
The issue that I came across in my experiences is that not reaching this state of mind causes me to have a neutral, or even a bad expierience. My last expierience was with a dose of 2.5g and was definately not fun. Maybe they were bad shrooms, maybe I went wrong by not being open and honest to my friends leading up to the time we ate them, and maybe I just needed to eat more to start with, I really dont know why or how but I got caught in a negative thought as I was coming up, and every part of me that knew how to deal with this was lost to me. I saw and heard my bipolar "triggers" all around me, the things that had set me off into furious rage and destructive sprees in the past. None of it made me angry though, I was more scared, humiliated, and ashamed.
But none of it was actually real. It was false. And so it had probably been 9/10 times I ever got set off into bipolar episodes of rage and depression. And I had never even realized it.
I am left with an increased self awareness and an amazing epiphany, my only regret is that I wish I had done it without any drugs.
The only long term negative effect I have suffered is to my vision, increased haloing around lights, and being able to see common abstract psychedelic designs that I saw during my experiences (Halo rings/patterns) and increased awareness of floaters and damage (scratches) on the surface of my eye.
Check out these links, and make sure you know why you want to eat the shrooms, and everything they could possibly do. They are a mind expanding drug.

An Overview of Various Uses of Psychoactive Medications
Being a curious human being, one might seem to want or experience another state of consciousness. We all know that this can be done by children through spinning, sliding, and swinging, all as form of play. It is in a person's instinct to have the urge to alter one's consciousness, much like quenching one's thirst, hunger, and sexual desires. Today, so many people experiment with mind-altering substances or psychoactive medications, which are chemical substances that basically acts on a person's central nervous system and alters the brains' functions. The use of these drugs cause short-term changes in mood, perception, behavior, and consciousness.
These medications are divided into five types that correspond to five different uses of the drug.

Psychoactive medication includes the use of general anesthetics. Now this is a class of psychoactive medication that is used on patients who need help in minimizing pain and other hurtful sensations. Most of these anesthetics cause the patient to become unconsciousness, thereby allowing doctors to proceed with surgery or other medical procedures without inflicting physical pain or causing emotional trauma. Another type of this class of medication comes in the form of painkillers. Since psychoactive medication are often prescribed to manage pain, certain neurochemicals can be chemically influenced to manage or reduce a patient's uncomfortable pain. This class also includes narcotics like codeine and morphine, and also aspirin and paracetamol. Psychiatric medications are for the treatment of mental health problems, specifically mental and emotional disorders. Medications for psychiatric treatment have six classifications, namely: antidepressants (treatment for depression, anxiety, dysthymia, eating disorders, etc.); stimulants (used to treat ADD, narcolepsy and for suppression of appetite); anti psychotics (for the treatment of psychosis such as schizophrenia and mania); mood stabilizers (for treating bipolar disorders and shizoaffective disorder); anxiolytics (for anxiety disorder treatments); and depressants (used for hypnotics, sedatives, and anesthetics).
Looking at another approach for the use of these psychoactive medication would be through the use of recreational drugs. Since this particular kind of medication can alter a person's mood and perception, some can be abused, including those with accepted use in medicine and psychiatry. Frequently used drugs for recreation (or more appropriately, used illegally) include stimulants, hallucinogens, hypnotics, and analgesics. All these can elevate sensations transmitted via a person's central nervous system. These drugs are abused for their euphoric and performance-enhancing effects. People who abuse these drugs experience perceptual changes, cognitive distortions, and inebriation. Examples of such commonly abused mind-altering products include caffeine, alcohol, LSD, cocaine, and heroine.
Another reason for the use of these medication involves the conduct of certain rituals and spiritual activities. Specified psychoactives, mainly hallucinogens, have been used for religious purposes since time immemorial. Native Americans have used peyote, a mescaline-rich cacti, as a symbolic and material object for religious ceremonies. Another substance used for ritual purposes is the muscimol-containing amanita mushroom, which was widely used by prehistoric tribes in Europe. Various other hallucinogens like jimsonweed, psilocybin mushrooms, and cannabis have also been used in different religious ceremonies for ages. Within the period of 1960-1970, new religious movements have began the use of LSD and other hallucinogens as sacraments. Of course, legality is always on the surface, and that the use of the hallucinogens for religious activities should be strictly regulated.
