Ayahuasca – A discussion

[smc]

I drank a mickey of whiskey nearly every day for about a year or so (nevermind the days I drank much more), that is a hell I'll never want to go back to that's for sure. Any time you are messing with your mind you should be as cautious as ever. Best to leave it be in most cases.

My fiance is on anti-anxiety medication and it has helped her to handle some of her worst symptoms, where she wasn't even able to leave the house before without panicking.

have never heard of that term so googled it... it's 375 ml or around 13 shots? ... I was having almost 3 times that - a day- for months and months on end... 36 shots a day....

I love the feeling of not doing that anymore

I've had anxiety/panic disorder since a nervous breakdown at 19... where I thought I was actually going 'insane'... but am lucky that the sertraline has helped that.... though I 'soldiered on' for more than 10 years after that without any medical help - progressively getting sadder and sadder and more and more quietly suicidal ... I medicated myself with alcohol on and off.... till it became that heavy a usage ...

I have some mild sedatives in a draw next to my bed and find in comfort in knowing they are there but rarely take one... no judgement of those who do...

Happy 4 years today for me ! best wishes to your fiancé (and to you )
