Thank you everyone that has shared your experience here. I've been lurking for a while and all the stories have been bolstering my desire to do this. I'm so grateful to and for everything and everyone.

Months ago I plateaued in my growth. I knew there was more climbing to do but didn't know where to start. Talk and prescription therapies have been keeping me stable but not pushing me onward.

I became very depressed and utterly unmotivated. Languishing is no fun.

My bestie offered on Thursday to microdose me. I jumped at the chance to not only take a medicine I've been researching for a while, but to do it with someone I trust.

After breakfast yesterday, she gave me a couple stem pieces, had me pack up some things that make me happy (soft things, art supplies, my favorite cup), then took me to her place in the middle of the woods.

It was an amazing day of literal and figurative sunshine, witchery, and laughter, and has continued into today. I'm happy, content, thrilled, lovey, relieved. I'm like this on good days anyway, but never a full day, never two days in a row.

Once I have the funds, I will be microdosing every fourth day. I will continue my (low) doses of prescription meds and talk therapy to make sure all my bases are covered.

I'm so excited to get back into art and school. I'm so happy in my beautiful, broken body. I'm so ready for the challenge of change.

Much love 💚
