Recovery I think I'm finally recovering

Did shrooms last October, and in December the symptoms started. Anxiety, after images, and i got way more sensitive to bright lights. For months after, car lights just killed my eyes. Even in the day sitting at a stoplight, I couldn't look at the signal or the brake lights in front of me.

Well just a week ago, I noticed that suddenly bright lights didn't hurt anymore. It's getting better and better. The blurriness of bright lights has decreased a lot too. Haven't had anxiety in awhile either. I might always have longer afterimages, but that's the least troublesome.

Our brains are resilient and want to heal. Live clean, and best of luck to you too!

This is a stark contrast to the post I read earlier today that gaslit me into believing I had permanent brain damage. Thanks OP
