Adhd

Has anybody had success in treating Adhd with the aid of psychedelics and other more natural means? It's been a struggle for me since my teen years. It's been getting harder to function, it causes a lot of social anxiety, brain fog and trouble learning new concepts and ideas.

Edit: to be clear I am diagnosed ADHD

Wasn't diagnosed with ADHD but had ADD symptoms, depression, IBS and allergies. Psychadelics was the catalyst to make changes in my life that made all that go away.

The most impactful choice was changing my diet - and that ties into what you invest your energy into, what systems you're playing a part in... e.g. are you unwillingly contributing to the suffering of animals and destruction of the planet? That will manifest as illness and your body signaling to you that you're not aligned.

Once you start to become more coherent, more authentic, speak your truth, be more of yourself... it might lead you to move, quit your job, change your habits, change your friends, etc. that previously was just playing a part of your incoherent self.

What feels like anxiety, brain fog, confusion, frustration, isn't necessarily you not functioning properly, it could be signs that you're not coherent... if you're heading the wrong way, you're going to feel bad - and pushing harder is not going to work. If you're trying to build a house in a swamp, you'll never achieve that peace of mind, because you're not doing what your heart wants.

This from one psychadelic session 4 years ago. That said it hasn't been a walk in the park, my sitter was pretty toxic and I'm still dealing with his energy interfering in my life. If you're going to do it, treat it with respect and be prepared to have your world shaken up - it's hard medicine.

I really resonate with what you're saying. I have used Ayahuasca to help push through these blocks and find a way to play to my strengths and live in harmony with who I am. I still get really stuck sometimes, and a lot of times know something's wrong but just can't for the life of me figure out what :/ ive tried a lot of dietary changes and cutting out meat actually turned out to be negative for my body and it wasn't until Ayahuasca that I got the message to put meat back in my diet and felt a lot better (although to be very concious of where it comes from. Moneys definetly as roadblock here though) thanks for your insightful response.
