What could be the reason for anxiety, depression, and intrusive thoughts about losing loved ones after taking magic mushrooms?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Thank you for taking help from a psychiatrist. I read your case and I can understand your situation but I do not get the reason for your stress. Is it due to a relationship issue or substance abuse (magic mushroom) or cancer? But I will suggest you some tips to deal with your problem. It will help you.

My advice:

1. You should exercise daily for 30 to 45 minutes like at least going for a walk. It will uplift your mood.
2. You should do meditation for 20 minutes daily, just sit in one place in a comfortable position and try to concentrate on your normal breathing. Do not stop or force yourself to stop your thoughts, just let it be. It will relax you.
3. You should eat healthy home-cooked food, and avoid junk foods.
4. You must drink enough water.
5. You should spend quality time with friends and family daily or do video calls if you are living away from your family.
6. You should spend time on creative hobbies like reading good books, writing journals, painting, drawing, and learning new skills or language or musical instruments.
7. You should take enough seven to eight hours of sleep daily.
8. You must avoid tobacco or alcohol or any substance abuse.
9. Live your life, do not just spend it.
10. Be bold and confident.
11. If you still have symptoms that persist after following the advice for four to six weeks, then you need to start medications for a short duration.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please, let me know if you want some help.

Thank you.
