I tried that but unfortunately it made me way more negative and suicidal

Sorry to hear that.. I'm not sure how your set, setting and dosage was, but it also seems like most psychedelics aren't good for people with schizophrenia, bipolar and suicidal tendencies. It's definitely not for everyone.

Unfortunately the risk/reward is quite extreme. For reference:

Dosage: 100ug LSD on two close together ocassions

Set: No depression at that time, just some early childhood trauma as you mentioned

Setting: Both times in loving family environment in very safe environment

I don't have schizophrenia and bipolar, and I didn't have suicidal tendencies until I took LSD. Afterwards I did for about 4 or 5 years.
