How the psychiatric narrative hinders those who hear voices

Which trip?

So my first bipolar psychotic episode (or psychedelic episode, which I prefer) was in 2017. January February.

Then the LSD trip was in August 2023. Last year. It was funny because I went to that festival really wanting to try psychedelics in some safe way if I found out how.

I always felt like people who had done them and had good trips seemed to know something I really wanted to know, if that makes sense?

I think Ram Dass described it well. Some people after LSD look like they “get it”, and if you haven’t done it you wonder what the heck “it” is!

So the fact that I got a low dose of LSD through kissing someone, it was like the universe was teasing me and trying to both enlighten me and give me some advice - “here’s how it feels” and “it’s really dangerous for you”. It was a beautiful, transcendent and violent experience.
