Anyone know of a good psychologist and/or neuropsychiatrist for adult ASD in the south or mid-peninsula Bay Area? In a really bad situation/state-of-mind rn... by bad, I mean yearning for rope and a bridge, or walking into traffic.
- extralego 8y agoSame. You aren’t alone. For me, meditating is important but I usually just pace around instead, which could be worse. I am mentioning this incase you have something similar that you’re not doing. I don’t know any doctors in the area because I don’t live there. Sorry. I wish I did. Please be patient and deep breaths. Sorry I don’t have anythingg else to offer but I care.
- anon102931 8y agoI would highly recommend looking into microdosing psychedelics for improving state of mind. Has worked wonders for those around me. One person suffering from depression and another young adult with Aspergers. In the young adult's case, they say that their anxiety basically has gone away. After several weeks, they are far more social and comfortable in their skin as well. Seems to be bringing some normalcy to their lives. Seems to be much better than cannabis for relaxing them. This individual gets anxiety attacks from cannabis. If you are worried about the various myths about psychosis and flashbacks, read "A really good day" and the author goes into the safety aspect of it. TLDR, it's safe. What is not safe is mislabeled things. The general regimen is usually a 3-day cycle. day 1 - dose day 2 - transitional day day 3 - rest day 4 - repeat I have tried a more aggressive cycle and it's quite a bit much, so 3 days seems to be the better regularity. After some time going down to 1-2x/week is adequate in its effects as well. A little bit of cryptocurrency and some googling can get one access with relatively little effort.
- haebou 8y agoI live in SF and can ask an ASD friend who lives in SF if he has any recommendations, if that’s accessible to you. But please, of you're feeling that badly, if there’s anyone you can call, please call them. If not, I’m happy to be an ear/shoulder.
