That is honestly a pretty incredible outcome. Cannabinoids only help me control my anxiety, they've never gotten rid of it like that. I know what you mean though, I have been hypomanic and feel strongly that I wouldn't have taken the plunge with my first business without that.
It doesn't change that it was mental illness though, and I'm better off not being that way. I think you're probably better off without your anxiety. You talk about pursuing success; a lot of people - mostly in their 30s and up I'll admit - would class "being able to sit with a beverage and enjoy life regardless of income" as the definition of success.
On the other hand, is your anxiety really gone? Or is it still there, as part of why you procrastinate? If your panic coping mechanism is gone and can't compensate for procrastination anymore, maybe it's time to try and figure out why you procrastinate instead of just doing the thing and then getting back to your beverage and chair?
Well I was born fortunate and so my success didnât come and yet I can enjoy such things. I think we all want to accomplish something in life ultimately, small or big itâs all very personal. My history is so complicated because I am also on HRT right now and I have gender related goals that take a big part of the whole picture. Maybe I underestimate how big. And yet some of these goals will never materialise and I will have to come to terms with some of it.
As much as I would want to look like some girl from instagram. I donât think this is possible or is even productive to think too much about
