Why? Because of the Boof or, launching bit of it? Just curious as to why you have been put off reading about it?
Nah, I'm all for boofing. I'll even volunteer to be a sitter for someone wanting to do it. Just with a lower guard comes the opportunity to try more until I end up drowning in my own vomit. I don't have an issue with ghb as a substances, just with me using it as I know how I operate when my judgement is affected.

Just another observation after this last GHB session on Saturday night and regarding the anxiety. I am actually finding myself enjoying driving again to customers. Singing along to the radio and just being much more chilled. Before when I was in the grip of this anxiety episode, I would get either to the office or home and my hands would be clamped down in a claw like position from the steering wheel. No longer the case now. I dont know how long it will last though.

Ketamine and N ₂O. is being studied to have a similar effect on depression and anxiety, interesting.

I think I remember a shrink saying most antidepressants when they work is mainly by breaking the snowball self growing anxiety, almost like a reset

Ever thought of doing a shroom trip or trying to microdose shrooms?

I had shrooms last year at my friends braai. At first it was OK, watching the fire and the patterns in it, but then I started feeling weird. Turned to Paul and said to him we have to LEAVE RIGHT NOW! I needed to get home and into bed in a dark space with the duvet over me. It is hard to explain, but that is what I needed and I needed it to happen very quickly. I did not enjoy it.

No need to explain, happened to me also the last time so I know that feeling. Perhaps do some reading and research and if you are up for it, take some again, but like 2.5g and NOT A PARTY. Either do it where you feel 100% safe and at ease or outside on a sunny day but not around or with other people.

Let your partner be your sitter, keeping you calm and just assisting you through it. I find eating fruits during the trip to be amazing and although I dont suffer from anxiety or depression it really gives that feeling which you described how you felt after the GHB.

Just note that some trips can be difficult but you need to face it and work through it and listen to your body and the shrooms. If you feel like staying in bed with your partner under the duvet, with your eyes closed then do it, feel like a shower, then go for it.

I feel so much lighter after a trip. I am a very violent angry person but after a trip I appreciate my kids, nature, music and colours. I laugh more, much less anger outbursts etc.

But if you dont feel comfortable doing it yet or again, dont force yourself.

I might try it again, but like you said, the next time I will do it with just my partner at home with whom and where I feel safe. It is jut weird how what I thought was going well as a trip very suddenly turned on me and it went from being nice to being very erm, not frightening, but sort of inducing a panic. I have to get home and I have to get HOME RIGHT NOW kind of feeling.

It must be said the mushrooms was kind of sprung on us. We thought we were just going to have a braai and suddendly they brought out the shrooms. I thought what is the worst that can happen. We are in a enclosed property and they have a spare room if we need it. But when the trip went bad I did not want to be there at all, not even in the spare room. I needed to get to OUR HOUSE and OUR BED with OUR DUVET and I needed Paul next to me. Sound dramatic but that is what went through my mind when the trip went bad.

With our GHB nights, we plan it well in advance, so we are always home, we have bought all our liquids that we will need so we know when we start we are settled and there is no need to panic or go anywhere. Perhaps it should be the same with shrooms.
