Hello everyone,
I am 6 almost 7 months deep into my LTC and I'm looking for reassurance that I will get better. I am currently just dealing with depressive thoughts. I think thoughts like "will I ever recover?" and "Did I cause permanent damage?"
Although I have improved, for some reason I still have doubts that I am getting better at all. I know its contradictory but its how I feel which is weird.
Is recovery just accepting whats happening to me? Or am I one day going to actually feel like my old, pre 3 day binge self? I don't know whether to hold onto hope that I will be the same, or that I should just accept that I'm going to live with depressive thoughts and the feeling that I am a different person.
What I'm doing to get better is
- I lift weights, run, and use a sauna at the very least 3 days a week
-I take fish oil twice a day
- Meditate for 10 minutes, 2 sessions each day
-Eat a lot of fruits and just a healthier diet in general
-I take Lion's Mane Mushroom because I was having memory/concentration problems
-I smoke CBD because I hear its good for the brain
I just want to be what I was before I binged 3 days, will this ever happen?
Also, debating on trying magic mushrooms to cure my depression? thoughts on this?
