I am 55 and have had therapy and help and meds for asd since I was 15. Basically nothing helped and I’m at a point I feel burned out. I have tried most (if not all) anti depressants. They do not remove depressed feeling but only make it so I don’t care. They also come with horrible side effects like weight gain and erectile dysfunction. Antipsychotica just made me suicidal. Diazapams (opioïdes?) at least make me feel less anxious but that is about it.

What else is there to try? I have an appnt with my doctor next week. I am seriously considering things like xtc, speed, cocaine etc at this point. But with all the problems that comes with I just don’t know anymore.

What do u use that helps deal with life?

    I tried lsd once in my tweens. Didn’t really like the trip itself but remember feeling good for a week afterwards. Never tried shrooms. Might consider it. Just not sure where to get it (safely). Thanks for the advice.

      A psychedelic trip in your tweens is very different from tripping as an adult. Do some reading about the topic to be sure its right for you before you make any decisions obviously but do look into it. Its helped me.

      As for shrooms, grow them. Heres a great resource
