No, unfortunately you can’t. PTSD is incurable. Psychedelics are helpful, and some studies showed that MDMA “cured” PTSD or at least healed it significantly when used in therapy after 2 sessions. As someone with severe C-PTSD, I can see why that might be. I only did MDMA once, but everything in the universe, it was all perfect. I was also baked and on shrooms too though.
DMT to me is the closest thing you can get to a cure. A strong trip can alleviate all symptoms for about a week in my experience. I’ve smoked it at least 150 times, and every time, no matter what I was going through, it could make it all go away. I wish there was a Heisenberg of DMT out there, because I’m planning to kill myself this summer and I’m only 30. I wasn’t even supposed to make it to 30.
Dear Reader:
We’re always looking for that silver bullet. I get it. I think I’ve tried every potential “cure” out there. What matters more than finding a so called cure is capital H-Hope. Feeling trapped in the unbearable darkness of pain extreme trauma feels insurmountable – but there is a light at the end of the tunnel and don’t let anyone tell you different. Resolution of symptoms are completely possible.
The only one thing that you must commit to is to keep going. Reach out. Get connected. Find people who are a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a reminder to us to love the life we have.
Remember too that this way of thinking is completely normal after going through severe trauma. When you stigmatize something, you give it a kind of allure. And when we remove the stigma … Suddenly it’s like, Oh, that’s just something I’m thinking. It’s not something I have to do. It’s not something I have to act on and I don’t have to feel bad about it.
Living mentally well takes time, endurance, hard work, and support.
I too have survived horrific trauma and subsequent suicide attempts & drug addiction because of that trauma. But I slowly learned to live with my feelings rather than try to suppress them or distract myself with drugs. It was extremely hard digging through years of painful feelings and memories. Often I would feel worse at the end of a therapy session than I had coming in. But eventually I began to feel better.
I learned how liberating it was to say honestly how I was feeling. I learned how to ask for help and to go easier on myself when I was struggling. I realised just how much my friends and family cared for me and how much they wanted me to get better. This gave me the strength to keep trying.
God knows everything that happened in my life, and how it has changed the way my brain functions. He was there with me through those traumatic life-changing moments, and He is with me now. I belong to Him. I know that He never left me, even when I couldn’t sense or feel Him. Even when I feel like I’m walking through the valley of the shadow of death, I don’t fear evil because I know He is with me.
All Love
