honestly living a causal normal life now
i'm actually kinda youngish, 17 y o now, but i had a story of substance abuse, i overdid it a bit (( mixed weed, alcohol, ciggs and pregabalin )) for like 2 months? or 4 can't really tell, which fucked up my nervous system, i had severe paranoia, thinking i was gonna get psychosis, questioning if i was real or in a dream, (( basically i barely felt tempratures, felt no pain, and straight up felt like i was in a dream or dare i say nightmare, like there was a window between me and reality, my temprature was raised all the time, i was shaking, and everyday i woke up at like 4 am, having a panic attack. Anyways, i started doing contrast showers to ground myself, which actually worked, also cardio, it shakes off the cortisol and adrenaline i suppose, and lastly forced myself to sleep to stabilize myself a bit, i throught i ruined myself for years, but i'm totally normal now, but i just wanna say that whoever reads this, never forget how you are your body, and you can't really overpower your mind, but you can support it and it will support you back, take actual good medication and live a healthy life.
