Opinions - LSD for Depression and Past Trauma

[metaphoria]

SWIM has suffered from depression for most of his life. He's tried a myriad of drugs and a bunch of psychotherapy (CBT, counseling, etc.), but nothing's really seemed to have much of an effect. SWIM know his thought patterns are to blame...he's always lived in the past and can't get over things that happened months, even years ago. SWIM's mind constantly tortures itself with the most painful thoughts and memories it possibly can, and not being able to get over anything really takes its toll. Not only does his own past make him terribly sad, but knowing the terrible things that have happened to the one he loves most is extremely painful as well, wishing he could have been there for her. (abuse in the past and such)

SWIM has only done acid once before, and it was pretty weak, so he doesn't think he got the full experience. SWIM knows that LSD and depression can sometimes be a bad idea and he's willing to take that risk. He knows that LSD has the power to drastically change the way your mind works, and SWIM was wondering if he would be able to use this to change his thought patterns and finally free himself from the emotional turmoil caused from negative thoughts and memories.

SWIM knows that drugs are not the answer to life's problems...but perhaps they would help him find the answers on his own.
