    I have had little improvement with my concentration and still lean heavily on my daily Adderall so I can be functional at life.

    To my limited understanding, most people with ADD/ADHD also have anxiety and depression. I mean, it makes sense. We tend to struggle with things that most other people find simple or second nature and that is extremely stressful. I believe that is the source of the anxiety, which can lead to depression after a while. Just my theory, anyway.

    If you do decide to try psychedelics, remember that you are just going for a small journey inside your own brain and it can be jarring as fuck the first couple of times. However, I personally welcome what others might consider a “bad trip”. My personal view is that a “bad trip” is part of my mind that I need to confront and understand at an extremely personal level.

    With practice, I have learned to shut off negative emotions as easily as turning off a light switch. It’s a very peculiar feeling, to say the least.

    And yes. Extreme empathy is one of the best feelings you can get and it is also something I am trying to carry with me into my daily life. It really is a powerful experience to feel connected with everything around you.

    At the end of the day, If you are in a comfortable environment and have some good music going, it is a very healthy thing to do.

    I could go on for hours, but alas, it is late.

    Take care!

      Thanks for the response! I’m falling asleep myself and don’t have much coherent to say in response lol but I enjoyed reading what you had to say. It has me even more interested in trying shrooms.
