A lot of questions rise after spice use concerning pre flight anxiety and confrontations with trip fear. Please add threads that hold value in this matter. For this item I suppose quantity of threads is just as important than quality, so people can feel most recognized by the number of relevant testimonies.

Wow, thanks Jees - great compilation.

I hope this is not off topic.

How to get over a fear of Skydiving

Here are the points it goes over (copyed below in capital letters) also apply to DMT:

-UNDERSTAND THE RISKS FROM THE GET-GO: DMT is physically safe, and possibly beneficial as there are recent reports in the literature that it enhances neurological connectivity. The biggest risk is psycologycal (similar to a little a little kid watching an intense movie). Powerful ideas and memories can come up during the trip that may be difficult to accept. This can create an internal struggle. Typically, users report that after extensive reflection, these concepts can be accepted/integrated by the individual and seen as a part of personal growth (hard and difficult but worth it).

-KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR SKYDIVE: Expect the unexpected Try to let go of your sense of control as much as possible.

-LEARN ABOUT THE EQUIPMENT: Familiarize yourself and practice with the extraction teks, plant materials, harmalas, dosage, and GVG or electronic vape solutions (e.g. the CRAFTY). This is a lot of work, but it is fun!

-LOOK AT THE STATS: Read experience reports and the subsequent integration. Then go and read more reports. After that, read some more.

-COME AND GIVE IT A TRY!: In skydiving it is said that the worst anxiety occurs before the jump. It's normal. Know that a lot of us have been there, right where you are.

This is just my opinion. Also, I am biased in favor of DMT due to my personal positive experience with it. The risk of psychological distress from the trip should not be overlooked, and people with a history of psychological issues should be very cautious. You may find yourself staring at your morning toast with a feeling of dread about the true nature of reality after your particular cultural belief systems have been knocked down and exposed as pretentious frauds. That's fine, it will pass. No one has the real answers - in the end we can still contemplate the beautiful mystery of it all

Deserves a sticky

Great compilation, thanks! It seems like the "Ever been convinced you were going to die..." link might be incorrect? Takes me to "Extreme fear during first higher dose."

Hey thanks, correct. Tried to point to the thread but it was deleted as a whole, so I removed that link out of OP.

Jees stickied it for you



If you'd want it moved to a different section aside from DMT-Nexus quality topics compilation it could be moved if its a better fit in another section. If not then no worries.

Hi Tatt

The important thing is for people to find it, personally I don't care where it fits as long as it serves best. You might have a good idea, I suggest to put it all in
Help and advise for healing
and sticky it there.

That way people are allowed to add more than links only, might be a good idea.
I've already removed the "links only" remark from OP.

Moved it under 'Help and advice for healing'.

Thanks Tatt, I added another 11 entries in the OP (there are 29 by now) and streamlined it a bit.

Maybe a link to this thread can be added in the
DMT-Nexus Wiki:Health and Safety
It has a LINKS section at the bottom, potentially there?

Anyone finding more good links or having inspiring ideas and feelings to share, you're very welcome to add

How these guys handle fear

No one said no, and it seems like a good idea, so I went ahead and added the link to that wiki section.

The slacklining documentary is awesome thanks very much for that.

I could not believe my eyes, they are flooded with adrenalin and fear and still trusting and going. IIRC one said: The body is scared but not the mind. I found that a very relevant expression where we can find inspiration in.

Very very helpful thanks xxx

I'm very thankful to you Jees for compiling this collection.

I've mentioned before how I've come to a point with huge anxiety and trepidation (used to be able to go the distance no problem and am not sure what happened lol) with the Spice despite wonderful experiences that I have managed well. Looking forward to reading these and overcoming my internal setbacks.

One love

Hey! Good comparison! Do you jump Loveall? Skydiving is my passionate hobby and my job. DMT still scares me a whole bunch more than exiting an aircraft without a doubt.
