I have a HDD which I'm trying to recover deleted media from. The drive is not corrupted, works perfectly fine just trying to get back old deleted stuff.

I scanned it using free trial Wondershare (I know, I know) and it found all the media and is portraying proper file sizes, although it's failing to show previews for them.

Then I tried running DMDE, I did a quick scan first and it also found the files, I tried recovering some of them and although they had the right file size they won't open in any image or video viewer which maybe means they're too fargone?

I'm still running the DMDE full scan it's about half way through. Based on this what options may I have, and what's the likelihood they're fully cooked?

I'm going through this self-discovery journey where I'm starting to realize that I may just not be cut out for psychedelics anymore. 5 years ago I used to take mushrooms dozens of times and have 100% good time every time. Now, when I take them even at a very low dose I spend the entire trip white-knuckle trying to ward off intrusive thoughts, bad feelings, feelings of worry and dread, etc. Maybe half the trip I'll be enjoying myself but the other half I spend just not being comfortable and having a bad time.

I've experienced with different settings and different dosages the last few times but it doesn't seem to change. I think I've reached a point where I simply need to walk away from psychedelics altogether because it really just isn't worth it if I'm spending half the time feeling terrible.

Has anyone else had this kind of a change in themselves? I really thought I was the type of person to be able to handle it but part of this journey is me mourning the fact that my psyche maybe just isn't as strong as I considered it to be. It's ok but I really do feel like a bit of a failure and it's hard to not feel like there's something wrong with me and that it's an indication that I need to figure some shit out - without the drugs. And that I'm really a different person than I was 5 years or so ago when I could just have fun with them and be carefree.
