Yes for sure, it wasn't easy. I left my job and hit rock bottom for roughly 3 yrs, spent long time with psychedelics and then my first mushroom trip gave the right perspective- is this how normal should feel like?
I didn't know shit. I thought maybe I was psychopathic, maybe sociopath, then assumed I'm just stupid. The doctor initially diagnosed me for Anxiety, that still left a lot of ocd behavior and helped little with social anxiety. That meant I couldn't work with people, avoided client calls even.
After diagnosis it kinda felt I'm cheating because things were so much easier now. I could run circles around the peers who made me insecure. Dont get me wrong I'm still jobless and drowning in debt, but hopeful instead of crippled with depression (huge win)
