My anxiety is vanished
    #23363931 - 06/20/16 02:05 PM (7 years, 7 months ago)

I had been a smoker for about 4 years and ever since then I have had major anxiety problems. Ever since I have delved into psychedelics my anxiety has improved drastically. Shrooms actually motivated me to quit because it showed me how powerful I can be and how important it is to be alive. Also showed me that life can be beautiful without nicotine. After that experience nicotine just never was the same drug for me anymore and I knew that it was time I finally give up the habbit. My mom actually got me onto vaping because she saw me start to become addicted to cigs and I just been vaping ever since and never really wanted to stop. What I did was I was at 6mg nicotine and moved on down to 3mg nicotine ( I had major withdraw symptoms doing that) once I finally moved on down to 3mg and was having no trouble with it. I finally went to 0mg nicotine and these 2 days have been quite blissful. I am actually feeling really happiness and I am no longer going to be afraid of my emotions because I think that is what I was using the nicotine to do which was to hide my emotions. Its weird tho now I have no anxiety what so ever. I think nicotine was the cause of my anxiety

I share your same views on life, but still don't want to quit smoking. I just enjoy it and feel it is another way to enjoy life. You probably quit because your will power was strong enough. I cant see how psychedelics just turned your anxiety off. You actually want anxiety because it is you brain telling you something is wrong and to take action. Anxiety is only bad when it is interfering with living your life which will cause a negative feedback loop to be more anxious. Hope it works for you.

When anxiety releases it's like things come through a little better. IME both good and bad feelings can come through, but either way its definitely alot better than everything being stuck or repressed and not knowing what all this muck in you or in your world is. So anxiety is never worth it.

Its not just the hook, but how we identify with them, or not, so good work. It is easier said than done to not be either the worm, or the fish that bites.

When I tripped on shrooms I had no need to have nicotine and when I did I think it would make the trip worse or give me anxiety during the trip which I didn't like

We are often the one doing the flogging and also being whipped.

Anxiety is like anger. It's an opportunity to learn something about our self.

I had a similar experience, I was having anxiety/panic attacks on a regular basis a couple of months ago. Since I have been taking shrooms, I feel so much clearer, more comfortable in my own skin and confident with my abilities. I do believe anxiety is a gift and a curse, although I get my realizations through a trip now, instead of freaking the fuck out and being anxious all the time. I am coming off cigarettes at the moment too, I feel great apart from missing the feeling of smoke, not just the addiction but the habit too.
