Thank you, that is very kind of you to say. Personally, psychedelics are just too high risk with my default internal attitude, even if they could help. I have some odd form of somatic anxiety. It's basically chronic pain that varies with situational anxiety. I've had seizures, so it's probably some neurological disorder we don't really understand yet. Mindfulness meditation, sensory deprivation therapy, CBT, journaling, and (by far most importantly) extremely intense exercise all help. All the first and second line treatments have failed (Benzodiazepines, SSRIs, pregabalin, MAOIs, etc.) Basically, learning to live with the pain was a long and difficult process. It initially eroded my intelligence by about thirty IQ points, which was terrifying. My LSAT score, for example went from very high 170s (near perfect) to around 150 (dead average), before going back up. I think most people around here could relate to how scary that can be, especially when intelligence is a key aspect of how you self-identify. But eventually I learned to manage it, and my normal functioning has mostly returned.
