Can you give away what you learned from DMT, and how?
I have not written much on here about it, my blog at tripsit.me goes much more into it, but my partner,.with whom I'm very much in love, has been suffering from severe depression for some time now, due mainly to the suicide of her ex-boyfriend. To summarize: she had a relationship with him for about a year during which he struggled to get himself off of heroin. After their break-up, he continued to live with her at her parents house for some six months, she thought he was working and putting money away to get his own apartment. He was working, but the money was going to dope. I guess he was holding out hope that they could rejoin, and as she and I moved from being close friends into being lovers, the reality that they wouldn't hit him and he couldn't take it.
He hung himself in her bathroom, leaving her to find him.
She has horrible nightmares, I've heard her talking in her sleep, telling him he is dead, asking him why he's there and to go away. The sufferation she has endured due to this, as well as a myriad of other traumatic issues (father going to prison, losing family home, mother addicted to prescription pills, sister with severe mental issues, she herself in + successful + remission from heroin addiction,etcetc-) makes the universe seem cruel to her. And I don't get it, either.
I myself lived with addiction and suicidal depression for a long portion of my life. I tried to kill myself twice over seven years ago. Long years of my life were sacrificed to my illness and I can't get them back, but after over a decade of searching, in and out of "treatment", I stumbled upon something that brought me out, made suicide an impossibility, and ended my emotional addiction to heroin. Two years after my discovery, I've successfully detoxed from methadone. The discovery was 5meo-dmt. In 22 minutes, I was able to receive what in years of searching I failed to.find-meaning and peace.
I wanted to give this to her, but now it's to late. Last weekend, I chased her at 4:00 in the morning to the top of a downtown parking garage and had to restrain her until the pigs,er, cops finally showed up. I didn't think I'd be able to stop her. She was jacked-up on methamphetamine ,a drug I've never touched, and I'd been up all night listening to her relive the tragedy. She is not a small girl. At 5'9" and 160lbs, my 5'6",130lb frame was having difficulty hiding her back. I thought I was going to watch the woman I love die in a horrible way.
Now here we are, it's a week after the fact, she is in the hospital and I'm in shock. Having the advantage of distance, I can see a little more clearly regarding us than I have in the last 6 months, since we've been basically joined at the hip. I have wanted more than anything to show her that she can pull thru, that life can and will get better. She didn't know me when I was bad and doesn't have the frame of reference, she doesn't think I was as bad off as I was, and her pain is the worst in the world because she owns it.
I have talked extensively with her about the use of psychedelics in therapeutic and healing ways, but she has very limited experience with them. She had another awesome ex who dosed her without her knowing it on LSD, then left her to deal with it alone. She took some X once that she said made her delirious and she thinks it was a date rape attempt. So she doesn't have a good frame of reference. The path that led me to DMT was one of spiritual exploration and discovery. I had been researching Cabala and the western corpus esoterica, and somehow, the molecule came along to affix me to the Tree of Life. When l was let down again, it was into a new body and mind, nothing short of miraculous.
She has NO spiritual foundation, this, the troubling matters of her life, as well as my lack of credentials and knowledge in the matter of working with other people has prevented.me from pursuing this route to her. One of the reasons I thot dmt may be beneficial is it's spiritual nature, it's not an introspective thing really, like LSD or shrooms. Don't mistake this: I'm VERY cognizant for her need for therapy, and although I have severe disdain for big pharma and profit seeking corporations selling questionable medications, I know that for some it may be what they need.
Big pharma is a contributing factor to her suicide attempt, actually. After her.ex's death, she was prescribed Xanax, just long enough to become dependent upon it, not just emotionally but physically. She has struggled with it harder than she has with heroin, going to the street to procure them. It is a terrible drug, and I hold the Dr who have it to her partially responsible. That's another matter entirely, I just want to point it out.
I know, now, that we should have cooled it down after his death, but that very much easier said than done. I don't know where we are headed now, but other than relating this story to the community that has been with me on my journey, I want to know- considering the factors, is this very personal route to healing one give away? I'd never push anything on her, she held an interest in it, and tried a low dose of dmt once which she loved, but it was the last in my phial and I haven't sourced any since. I'm questioning everything right now.
I'm sorry of this post is disjointed, if it gets no response, I'll take it as a sign that I've made no sense and delete. But if you have an opinion other than deriding me for thinking I could help someone, please share.
Thank you, nexus
