Also following.

I’ve tried mushroom capsules, and found them to really amplify anxiety/stress in my body. Also, it made my brain not work so good.

I have hopes for figuring out how to use the mushrooms better for managing drug-resistant depression/anxiety

It’s becoming normalized in CA, and I have associates in the cannabis biz that are already gearing up for psilocybin to be the new thc.

The hard part now, is figuring out how to use them. I mean, its just a bunch of ground up mushrooms. Kind of open-ended how to get em to give you what you want

OP, has something changed in your life recently as well? Like more stress or lack of sleep or some other health condition? Might be worth checking in case there's an underlying condition (other than the ADHD) that can also be treated.

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!

My psychiatrist today revealed to me that I may have ADHD, still a hypothesis that he is still exploring but from my personal experiences and discussions with therapist, it seems likely.

One example of personal experience is my ongoing prep for case studies as I'm interviewing with a number of firms. I do struggle to keep focus and generally take a bit longer to finish them, specifically the structuring of the case. Does anybody else feel the same way and any recommendations to overcome this?
