I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted. Mushrooms are awesome. Loads of fun. They don't treat any issues though (other than the issue of not being fucked up).
A research study came out showing that in controlled environments, they found that there were significant changes that could lead to the potential for treatment and I think everyone now thinks that a fist full of mushrooms will fix mental health issues. They won't.
I think you're probably being a bit dramatic about an "accident or bodily harm", but it's not out of the question. Mostly in danger of texting all of your ex's.
But you're right. Go to qualified professionals for help with PTSD. Not your weird uncle or the kid growing shrooms in his dorm room. Want to get high? That is the problem that mushrooms solve.

There have been studies that compare the efficacy of psilocybin, LSD, and MDMA as PTSD treatments.
Unsurprisingly to anyone who has experience with all three, they found that MDMA offered the most promising results and psilocybin the worst. This was obviously paired with psychotherapy.
Also, and I'm not trying to be rude, but if your experiences with mushrooms left you able to clearly read and type on a phone, I don't think you've had the types of trips/levels of hallucinogenic intoxication from psilocybin that I'm mostly concerned about.
"clearly" is uhh... Ambitious. We're on the same page here. I've just heard people use these studies as fact more than a few times and wasn't sure why you were getting downvoted.
