Depression:

Interesting to me, after going through such deep depression, and then sharing my recovery, people herein seem so shocked.

I guess its a good thing i haven't described some of the things i have seen and discovered along my path....

I am very interested in your discoveries. I too have recently found new discoveries to me without any substances to aid in my findings. My discoveries would shock most members here and have them believng I've lost my mind. Actually I have just found my reality in relation to this world.

As i have been dabbling in Meso-American medicine and spiritual practices, ive experienced an awakening on an otherworldly level.
 
Robert, I am praying for you. I have known deep deep sadness and despair, and also some of the greatest blessings. I sure hope some of these depressed feelings are not due to the custody stuff with your ex-wife/son.

One thing I would like to add is to be careful what you are ingesting. For me, I am pretty darn guarded as to consuming anything that can affect my brain. The closest thing to mind-altering items that I might consume, I would say that food, fun and folly are my main drugs of choice.

The best medicine for me is always LOVE, Laughter and Benevolence. I know you have plenty of these to give and to receive, if you are able to tap into your resources.

I remember the place. Never knew what they did there. Just thought it was a mental hospital.

DonO, when my dad had his first episode of a break from reality, ( schizo) back around when he was mid 30's and I was 8, he was taken there.

He later recounted to me that he'd see some of the patients there sitting around naked watching TV or other stuff. He said, " Those people were crazy!!!"

Didn’t quite realize how close I lived to it. I was born and lived there until I was 10, at the red spot.

Yup, I knew you were close.

I also had a school nurse when I was in Cockeysville Middle School who had a child in Rosewood Center in Owings Mills. She took us on a field trip there once. Quite a sobering experience. Those poor mentally handicapped children. When I see or read about some of the things the less fortunate have had to endure. It sure makes any complaining of our own trials or aches and pains seem extremely unwarranted and so much a reality check on just how good we really have it.


This clip is old and Rosewood is closed down. But I think you all will get the dose of reality from this video.
 
I know this is Robert's thread about his rough times here lately or for some time running, but I do think with the good mind Robert does possess, he will definitely be able to count his blessings that he did not wind up with a worse condition that might have landed him in a similar place such as Spring Grove or Rosewood, out there in California.

This is a story of how in the early 1900's some inmates of Rosewood were actually "sold out" for a form of servitude and abuses.

I'm super stoked that you found something that works for you. I'm hoping the near future finds more uses for natural substances. My wife and I watched a documentary that showed some of the advantages of these types of things.

In one study, the Psilocybin was used to treat deep depression. Most of the test subjects were healed permanently, and the rest showed almost complete reversal but needed small doses after several months. All of them had immediate relief though which was shocking for all.

I've seen the effects of mushrooms first hand, but I have not gone down that rabbit hole myself.

I sure hope for Robert and his family's sake, that he definitely finds a healthy road to follow and a freedom from any turmoil that his brain, moods, life's trials etc can put him through. I also hope that with healthy outlets and herbs, foods, health care, his well being will last for many years to come.

I also hope as I mentioned earlier that Robert and all of us are careful about our bodies and minds. Having known several people who expired due to addictions or something bad that was in what they were addicted to, suicides, alcohol related deaths and a host of other non-natural causes, I wish I could have stopped these folks from the choices that caused them to breathe their last.
