About 20 years ago I was diagnosed schizophrenic after driving my car into the back of a semi in an attempt to teleport to visit my girlfriend. (Sober)
More recently (5 years ago) I was diagnosed with BPD after being suicidal on the Golden Gate Bridge.
I spent my twenties in a very visionary / mystic / mythic (schizophrenic) state of Conciousness and just didn’t discuss it for fear of being medicated.
A few years ago a found relief trough a combination of MDMA, Mushrooms, NARM Therapy, Breathwork and Relationship as a Path.
I no longer suffer the symptoms, Am no longer diagnosable, and my subjective experience was one of going into deep repressed traumas (birth, circumsicion, parents divorce, abusive step dad, etc) and feeling and releasing them.
I’ve had a psychiatrists, Ivy League hospitals, and film makers approach me for insights into how my approach might help others.
I’m aware I am an N of one, but I tempered my intuition and insights with research (when I was suicidal I was also helping Peter Theil with a private medical research startup and had access to some great minds).
Here is a podcast I did recently with more detail if it is interesting to you:
(I’m also aware that the standard advice is to avoid psychedelics if you have these conditions — for myself, I took the risk as my understanding of mental illness shifted and I was interested in going more deeply into the uncomfortable states in order to heal. For me it paid off, and hopefully it will for others as I work with researchers to expand our understanding of if my results can be replicated — so far it seems they can, with the right Support.)
