Excellent post.
On the topic of shrooms, the 50-100mg of Golden Teacher or Penis Envy have worked well for me. Every other day for 2 months. Then take a month off.
If you have the ability, OP, you could adopt a pet. It helped me a lot to have someone to keep me company and that I was responsible for.
You can’t just lay in bed hoping for tomorrow when you got a terrier yapping at you to get up and play with him.
Glad it helps, I was kinda in the same situation as op as few years ago (depressed, broke, and living with my parents), although I was in the US. I don't personally recommend having a pet when depressed, I'm thankful that my dog wasn't cared for by just me at the time as I suspect that I wouldn't have gone great. I personally try to fully trip every 4-6 weeks, but the more time passes the longer I find I don't need to trip that frequently. I take a pretty high dose, have to schedule out a full day to get through it. I haven't really tried much in the way of micro dosing, but I've heard that they work for a lot of people.
I've found, like with most drugs, I need more than average. I take a quarter+ to really trip then smoke DMT during. While my friend I last tripped with ate an eighth and tripped out.
5-HTP serves me well. It's got a similar serotonin impact without the tripiness of shrooms.
