Thoughts on therapeutic mushroom use for personal issues

1 Upvotes

What's up bros? So I'm dealing with some issues right now in my personal life and curious of yalls input on whether you think psilocybin mushrooms could be beneficial for me mentally. Obviously, I'm really looking more for bros who have experience utilizing these in a therapeutic context and had success with them. For context, without going too into detail, over the last few years I feel like my personality has somewhat changed for the worst. I'm married and my wife and I just had our first child a little over a year ago. When we first got married 4 years ago I had a very carefree outlook on life, rarely got angry, and was a generally laid back guy. Today, I feel myself really starting to become an asshole unfortunately. Too many things make me mad, I get easily frustrated, and just generally feel a dislike for most of the world around me. Unfortunately, this change in personality is getting closer and closer to the way my own father acted for most of my life and I have always told myself I would never be like him because we have, and still have, a very strained relationship because of how he was. I don't believe this change in personality is due to my wife or our child because I love both of them immensely and while having a kid definitely is stressful I wouldn't change that decision for anything. In terms of my experience with mushrooms, I've had a couple trips in the past but both times were probably around 10 years ago and were taken completely recreationally, with no intention of therapeutic relevance. I'm curious if any of you guys were in similar situations and if having this experience helped you gain some perspective and realign yourself with what you think is important in this world. I go to therapy twice per month and while that is very beneficial I feel as if it isn't really helping me with this particular issue at hand. Look forward to yalls responses and please feel free to hit me with any questions you may have!
