Has anyone tried Psilocybin?

I’ve been suffering from Addiction, Anxiety
Childhood Trauma
, Couples issues, Depression, 
Emotional Abuse
, Narcissist Abuse
.

Over the years I’ve been seeking acceptance from others and my wife. When there are issues and I don’t feel accepted or ‘good enough’ for anyone I’ve contemplated ending my life.

I’ve taken most AD meds. I’ve been to a few silent meditation retreats, I’ve had a personal therapist for 4+ years (current one not quite 2 years?!?) Tried TMS and am currently on 5th round of Ketamine.

I’ve stopped marijuana 4 months ago. And I think I’ve made quite a bit of progress in the past 6+ months with my therapist, journalling, gratitude practice and daily affirmation.

Though I’m still not good enough for my wife. There are still things I do at a subconscious level that I can’t seem to stop.

To name a Couple:

Not validate her opinion/point of view vs stating mine as fact.

Not recognising a request as is a respecting the boundaries that are set.

I also have ADHA. So my mind races with lots of thoughts. Oh so many thoughts. I’m a black and white thinker. I have a bad habit to talk some of my thoughts out loud that upsets the boundaries that have been set.

Wife has had a psilocybin therapy and says I need to do it too. I’m not against it. But just not sure how it’s going to handle some of my mind racing and speaking issues.

Thank you for any comments, support or suggestions!

I haven't tried psilocybin, but like you I have tried TMS and ketamine. So no personal experience, but I wanted to recommend Andrew Huberman's podcast on the topic. He is at Stanford. hubermanlab.com/episode/how...

I haven't tried psilocybin (I don't believe it is offered where I live), but i have heard some incredible stories from it. Everyone is different though 🤷🏼‍♀️ If you do decide to try, I would be interested to know how it went for you!

Only recreationally here, not a clinical setting. So I can't add much about using it for treatment, but I just wanted to bump this because I am curious if someone else will post here that does have that experience.
