Hey all. I have been a member here for a while but have not been very active in the community. I wanted to introduce myself and offer my friendship and knowledge. I am not an expert in any thing by any means but I am an interested person and always up for an intellectual exchange:thumb_up: .

I am early/mid 30s and have only in the past few years realized I have had a lifelong depression/anxiety disorder/ADHD among other things. I have also had multiple existential crisis during my lifetime. (And will probably have more) I have always been interested in psychedelics since I was 14 and read close to every entry on Erowid long before I ever tried my first psychedelic. LSD was my first experience and it was quite amazing. Even with what I know now was low dose blotter my close friend(to this day) and I shared a memorable first experience. I have ingested LSD and Cubensis mushrooms around 30 times each. I have reached a point now that after nearly a decade of no psychedelic use that I am called back with some trepidation. I am more aware of myself and my hang ups than ever before and would like to think I am ready to dip my toes in the water. I think that experience is the purpose of life. Too many of us are terrified to live yet crave life so intensely. It is a contradiction that can be harnessed for personal growth and that is my ultimate goal. I hope to lend insight and value to this community as I have received a wealth of knowledge not only from the Nexus but from the Shroomery community as well. (If anyone knows a mod over there I need help recovering my old account! haha)Please feel free to hit me up and you will see more of me as I have a hard time not chiming in when a question/subject matter interests me.

Thanks again,
Chizzity
 
Happy to have you and your participation here:).

I relate to you in that I too have suffered/learned to manage double depression, and anxiety (mainly). If you ever need an ear who is more likely to be understanding to your plight feel free to contact me.

I find myself excited for your return to psychedelics and wish you the very best in your personal growth journey. I understand the anxiety surrounding that.

The paradox you highlight makes me think of the quote, "too afraid to live, too scared to die." Definitely something I'm working in myself:). Great point you made.

One love
