My life has really sucked for quite a long time, and got off Prozac last month to try psychedelics, since Prozac did nothing. Do not want to try a breakthrough until in a much better mood.
Have some shrooms. Might try them first.
Firstly, If I was to suggest which of the two I would dabble in after coming out of an extended depression, I would certainly suggest doing shrooms at a lower dosage. Something like a 1.5 to 2.0g range. Don't push too hard, let the wonder return.
If you really want to try out the DMT a lower end dose will not have much of an effect, and I assume is not the kind of experience you would be interested in. Dmt is more of a commitment to a certain threshold of wonder that I would not suggest on a re-integration trip.
That being said-- I could be wrong and DMT could help you a great deal, but if that were the case, I'd assume it would be from a great experience having done a full dose.
All in all, I would move forward with shrooms, and proceed gently. Dmt isn't going anywhere.
Adieu.
The metaphysical comfort--with which, I am suggesting even now, every true tragedy leaves us--that life is at the bottom of things, despite all the changes of appearances, indestructibly powerful and pleasurable--this comfort appears in incarnate clarity in the chorus of the satyrs, a chorus of natural beings who live ineradicably, as it were, behind all civilization and remain eternally the same, despite the changes of generations and of the history of nations.

Ontology has it backwards. “This ‘saying to the Other’ — this relationship with the Other as interlocutor, this relation with an existent — precedes all ontology; it is the ultimate relation in Being”
