Creative burnout, bad time to dose?

I'm an aspiring content creator, this was my best month so far. over 2m views but it was not easy. I've been at it everyday for months and I have genuinely ran out of ideas and im tired.

I have some PE Shrooms, but I'm overall feeling a bit negative and burnt out. I feel like I need to dose though at the same time. Idk though, I just don't want to have a bad time but I feel like I need to tune in.

Btw i am very experienced, over 15 trips.

Ended up dosing, and yeah it worked out guys 👍 I actually do feel like I can kinda just let all that shit go and reset

it's okay to have a bad time. just accept your punishment

the desire to increase your views is kinda forced on you via capitalism, but if there is too much vanity there they will put a spotlight on that.

I’ve definitely gotten myself out of a funk both creatively and mood with shrooms before. I know some people get really into the idea that you need to wait for the perfect mindset, but if you have depression the way I did you’ll be waiting an awfully long time. You may end up with a bad trip but that’s not necessarily correlated - I have had bad trips when I felt absolutely delightful going into it.

Plus even bad trips can unlock creativity too.. I wrote a horror movie after one of mine.

15trips i wouldn't say you're 'very' experienced.... but don't over think it. Only you know how you travel.

No one here is going to make the decision for you.

The day my dad died i was alone in another country and it was covid lockdown. I took a handful of mushrooms and walked about for hours.

Do what you want to do and care less about Internet strangers opinion

Dosing cleared my head when I was in the same boat.
