Microdosing day ✌🏼insights, I woke up feeling pretty low energy. Lethargic and foggy from the second I woke up. My body felt heavy as I walked my dog a few blocks. I took the .1 cap of psilocybin & a lions mane cap on an empty stomach, made breakfast, did virtual therapy, and within two hours I felt significantly more mentally clear, energetic, and overall in a more gratifying mood. This could be correlated to the mushrooms or the fact that my body had a few hours to turn on the engine. Either way not complaining about the turn around I decided to read 10 pages of the Bitcoin Standard everyday while I’m doing this. I’ve been picking it up, reading a few chapters, and trading in for a psychology book that is more my speed for a few months. Buuuut I challenged myself to finish it while on the microdose regimen bc I want to learn and it could be an interesting experience to assess I’m about halfway through the book and it’s the first time I’ve ever taken notes while reading. I was able to connect the dots more clearly between concepts relating to the economic impact of national currency & the current mental health epidemic and “toxic society” founded on loneliness, high time preferences, and trauma that I read about in Gabor mate’s most recent book. Again, could’ve been a placebo but making neural connections b/w new & old data felt more seamless today Other than that just a normal day, no material difference in my somatic processing or perception of surroundings (as expected given low dose and antidepressant suppression)

Microdosing day ☝🏻 insights.. As expected, nothing earth shattering happened today. I woke up, walked my dog, showered, did Breathwork, prayed, set an intention for the next month, and took my first .1 capsule. I’m in the luteal phase of my menstrual cycle (5 days out from my period) and as someone with premenstrual dysphoric disorder, that means chaos. Quick to tears/heightened sensitivity, irritability, decreased capacity to regulate emotions, decreased sense of self worth. It’s a party in my body right now 🥳 in all seriousness, I’m used to this as I experience it for a week out of the month, every month. With this, i’m taking it easy today. I went to the park with my dog and read a little bit. Grounded with the grass. Took a nap. Resting & being. My best friend is making me dinner tonight to keep me company because @dylan is out of the country for a few weeks. I’m hopeful that after a few days of microdosing, I might start to notice material improvements in my mood and relationship with my mind-body as I navigate the next week of PMDD symptoms. Will be taking the caps for the next 10 days, will take 5 days off to integrate, and then another 10 day cycle. Honestly no idea what to expect but I am hopeful and excited!

Love this. Therapists are trained to support you in reaching optimal clarity, authenticity, and integrity in your relationships with yourself, those you prioritize, and the ecosystems in which you reside. Therapists are NOT meant to act as authoritative figures in any capacity. If that’s the case in your therapeutic relationship, RUN and find someone who knows that they’ll never know you better than you know yourself. We are only here to help you remember the most authentic, powerful, and alive version of who you are.

Day 1 of microdose regimen starts tomorrow. Gonna use primal as my personal diary as I go. Stay tuned 🕺🏻❤️
