    Is this typical for ADHD? Maybe for the introverted type, but with ADHD people I instantly have crazy conversations nonstop

      Introverts have absolutely no issues striking up a conversation.
      Is it mentally exhausting? Sure. Would I rather be doing literally anything else? Yeah, probably. But introverts don’t automatically have social anxiety.

    If only I knew that this is not normal 20 years ago I would have been a different place today. So many internal conflicting voices/thoughts and it’s fucking constant.

      tbh I think it’s probably more of an autism / social anxiety thing but many people with ADHD have more than one disorder, so i thought it was still relatable, at least for some people.

    I feel like this is played out advice, but, if you don’t have a family history of schizophrenia or personal history of psychosis…shrooms are nice.

        I don’t know enough details to point you to a specific website, but there are ways to order spores and then grow them using Ben’s 1 minute rice.

      Damn. I’ve literally been thinking of doing shrooms but a sibling had an episode (BPD). I don’t want anything like that to happen to me.

      goodness, the few days after a psychadelic trip feel so refreshing. Temporarily free of executive dysfunction, temporarily free of anxiety, temporarily just purely happy with a positive outlook ahhh, wish it lasted longer :(

      so far no psychiatrist prescribed drug even compared to that feeling for me, well mostly because all those anti-anxiety meds either didn’t work or turned my anxiety into panic attacks lol

      put down the phone when you get the message and all that, but dang is it a good way to break out of the usual struggle once in a while

        Yeah, the anxiety and paranoia thing weakened for me a year ago after I took shrooms for the first time. The strength of the social anxiety and paranoia hasn’t come back, permanently weakened I feel.

          hey that sounds great! :) for me it was suddenly being capable of saying no to people

          i will never forget the moment it happened. it was (i think) slightly before ego death, but as my eyes were closed i saw myself looking at myself in the void of my mind, and the other me looked me in the eyes and said “love yourself more”. Then couple days later i realised i was capable of saying no to people, and prioritising my own wellbeing over people pleasing!
