    Thank you so much for sharing this video with all of us. I really enjoyed your demeanor and obvious groundedness. I am curious to know if there has been any talk, or studies of micro-dosing psilocybin mushrooms. Not looking for a high of any sort. Only a sense of well being, and functionality. Btw, I am an untreated 78yr male, and was diagnosed with ADHD 23yrs ago, but wasn’t qualified for the financial aspect. Although I have no doubt that this was onset at the traumatic birth, for my self and mother.

    I find when taking stimulants, both psychedelic and non-psychedelic, they do help lessen the ADHD symptoms. There are many other benefits to microdosing psilocybin also. Having a larger dose now and then can also help with mental health, inner peace and spirituality if that is important to you.

    @dollydaydreamz7149 it is definitely worth it. I will have about 3 appointments ( £200 each) after my assessment to check how I am adjusting to meds, and after, it will only cost £9 a month once care is passed to the GP. My first appointment went really well, and I finally felt seen and that someone understood my chaotic brain. Now I am waiting for an appointment with a psychiatrist, and I will be good to go to start a less chaotic life 💜

I mean what am i expecting from the appointment!! you tell me what i can expect ? hate that question, that list is a 100 lines long and i know some of it cant be changed unfortunately. promised my Mrs i would also try CBT or what ever you call it, as we are are the thin line line and i am at breaking point. I also dont believe in talking much, to me its black and white, talking don't change the reality of things.
