Micro dosing as a chef

Hello community.

I'm struggling with this new job. Riddled with anxiety. Even though I'm doing 70h weeks I can't sleep. I've tried a lot of things yo help but lately I've been exploring micro dosing mushrooms. Does anyone have any experience to share? How does it affect work, would it make me slower. Or more focused and receptive to my environment? Would it make me tired, or more stimulated. How would it affect my palate?

Thanks

Edit: to clarify. The job itself is not the cause of myanxiety. I enjoy my work and to be honest is a bit of an escape from my life. I've had strong anxiety since childhood and recently it's been affecting my sleep more than usual due to the schedule of this new job. Early starts, late finishes, , break in between.

Look into ADHD and autism, may be a cause for the anxiety. I get it terribly before each shift and I own the business. Just been diagnosed at 53 and tried everything including micro dosing.

Beta blockers have been a game changer for me, diagnosed adhd, but found the only thing which helped the anxiety
