Self-love stories
No, not that kind! Get your mind out of the gutter, you perverts!
Or don't, I suppose, because I'm not going to preclude that from being part of the journey.
One of the things MDMA is most known for, of course, is being the "love drug." In addition to the empathy and love for your fellow human beings and the world, something I've heard come up a lot is how healing it can be, especially for people with CPTSD.
In full disclosure, I've probably got some form of body dysmorphia, which I know isn't the same but still. I don't need to get into the weeds and talking about the specifics probably won't be good for my mental health, anyway. I'm intending to use my next roll as a solo experience to practice some self-love and healing over my deep-seated dislike of my body. (I am in traditional talk therapy as well, to be clear - I know MDMA alone is not a solution.)
But since I'm in the middle of a tolerance break, I won't get the opportunity to do so for another month-ish. I was hoping that I could find some positivity here in the meantime.
I'll likely post something similar in the psychedelics subreddit for shrooms, since that's a "lighter" option I've been considering, but I'm open to any non-MDMA or flip experiences here as well.
So, anyone here have some stories of rolls/trips - solo or otherwise - where you found some healing and managed to foster love inward as well as outward?
