So now that I've fished psilocybin, my family is asking me directly when I expect to get better. They want to know when the depression will go away and when I'll be cured.

I heard whispers of this question before, and now they're asking directly.

So now I'm in a dilemma. Do I tell them the truth, that my depression is so bad and that while I did attain a number of important goals, I doubt I'll be cured? Or do I go the standard route, and go on performing, pretending things are good, just as before?

If I go with the truth, as I kind of did the other day, the response I get is "life is beautiful, live it. Forget the past, get over it"

If I go with performance, I'll be betraying myself but the family will be happy that I'm cured.

I think you might know which route I'll go.

A very sad and crappy situation.
