My event-could psilocybin help
In March I was working hard on my PhD. As I worked, I started feeling this internal shaking feeling. As I worked it got really intense until one day there was an explosion of colour and sounds. I experienced profound happiness, like I've never experienced before. In the following days I experienced extreme emotions, mostly fear as the colours changed and strange smells happened. Afterwards I lost my sense of smell. Everything just smells like soap. Everything also looks sepia, like I'm watching the world through a Mexico filter. And the worst part is I've lost the ability to feel pleasure and human connection. I have not felt a single iota of joy since March (on top of everything my dad died but the problem started before that so I don't think it's grief). I'm getting desperate. I've had brain scans and therapy and psychiatric treatment. Nothing has worked and nobody can work out why my senses are going crazy and I can't feel. I'm hoping psilocybin can help. I don't need any of the mystical trippy stuff. I just need to feel some genuine happiness, even if it's just for a few hours.
