That's a legitimate worry, but it all lifts during the trip, when you realize that it's totally not about that.

This is the reason for the depression lifting, by the way.

Depressed people are stuck in infinite loops mostly involving their 'social self'.

When they trip, they realize that "I" has so many more facets than just the social self (ego) - that "I" is also part (and at the center) of an infinite stream of energy - "Universe" , that time is an illusion, that all living beings are part of the same organism, etc, etc.

There is so much more to "I" than just our "problems", "goals" and "aspirations", but we tend to forget that. Psychedelics help you remember - and that's why they are so powerful and also scary for the establishment.

It helped me a lot more now (in my late 30s) than it did when I was younger. Now, when you understand "life" a lot better, you can really integrate the experience and derive positive and useful conclusions from it.
