Preparing myself for DMT

[3000 Q]

I'm 18 years old, and I've been looking into DMT for about a month now. I smoke marijuana a couple times a week, and I've never took any other drug. I'm at a point in my life where in all honesty I don't think I'm mentally ready to smoke DMT. I think my mind is not always in the right place. Some days I am very peaceful and a very happy person, others I am lost and have terrible thoughts. Two of my uncles have a mental illness and I'm starting to think that I may be bi-polar or something in that category. So I was wondering if DMT can still be for me? I am awed by this substance, and I really want to change my life in a positive way. I was wondering if something like meditation or other things like this would maybe help prepare me for smoking DMT? Anything would help really, thanks.

Edit: Sorry btw, if I am bi-polar it's not an angry attitude I have, I'm never a very angry person

Thank you! And that's unfortunate... Don't you think if I strengthened my mind it may be okay?

You're 18... There should be no rush... Take your time...

Exactly, I'm not trying to rush. I don't mean something that will prepare me in two or three weeks. But a multiple year plan possibly.

the only thing is being comfortable with yourself. If you can do that you can do anything. That said, if you think you're crazy you probably aren't comfortable with yourself honestly.

What matters is that you want to be a better person. I'm not one who likes to reduce psychedelics to mere self help tools, but it is certainly one experience capable of inspiring change. It seems you've already made up your mind about DMT. You want to try it. It honors you that you want to be careful. You're showing a lot of respect for yourself and your sorroundings. I had similiar thoughts at your age and decided to educate myself first and try other venues of exploration such as dreams, astral travel, hypnosis. Then, one day...it just clicked and i knew that this was a good time to start with psychedelics. It doesn't have to be the same with you. Only you can tell when you are ready. This is a responsibility you carry. Noone can lighten the load - keep listening to yourself, your body and your intuition.
