I mentioned in another reply that I feel generally more positive, but substances in particular have started to take a wholly different nature. They’ve felt better in a way that’s more euphoric, of course, but that’s not what I care about in this case. More interestingly, I’ve started to physically analyse my body, and highs are starting to feel like they’re specifically making me more self-accepting. Phantom limbs, in the form of breasts, and it feels natural.

Skin smoothing might be occurring. I’ve been feeling the tops of my cheeks, but it could be placebo. I don’t think it is. In my specific case, my skin was actually already great. People commented about it, is how it was.

Otherwise, my self view has started to shift, both in and out of altered states. The mind mattered already, thanks to my journeys, but now the body matters. I recognised my body before, of course, but now it’s as if my physical self has just popped into existence, and I’m feeling myself to help me adjust.

I wasn’t dysphoric prior, but I’m euphoric now. I predicted this, which is why I started, and it turns out it was a correct hunch. I… have a lot of those.
