I was sort of berated constantly online (and offline… and everywhere…) for a time. I had a highly negative self image, and was on the verge of something worse than death–taking it out on everyone. DIY psychedelic therapy really helped me to understand and become accepting of myself. Do I recommend it? Hell no. It’s only if you want to, and you genuinely understand what you’re doing. For me, it seems to have turned out excellent. This understanding of myself helped me make a more informed decision regarding transitioning.
I don’t know where I’d be, had I not done what I did. I could have turned out an absolute asshole, could have had my thoughts repressed forever and not started HRT, I have no idea. I’m here, though, and surprisingly happy in life. To reiterate, I don’t indulge because I want to be happy, but because I am happy. Existing in this precious, tiny zone is what I consider to be the peak of my existence.
I share this story because I want to convey how many different ways there are to tackle an issue. Above all else, though, I want it to be made known that there’s no such thing as an unsolvable problem. And, of course, there’s the obvious connection between the trans experience, and the wider concept of self exploration. They’ve gone hand in hand for me.
My mind is healed. Now, the body. Then, finally, the world.
