Lion’s Mane supplement or just straight up Lion’s Mane mushrooms?
How did they end up helping? I hadn’t heard of this use of them before.
I’d like to know a bit more if you don’t mind. I’m sure some others in this post may want to know as well due to the topic.
I’m a bit of an amateur mycologist and grow Lion’s Mane from time to time.
Congrats btw! Don’t discount your own effort by attributing your ass getting saved by Lion’s Mane. You put in work too I’m sure. Hope you also recognize that.
It was indeed a terrifying journey. Always had a bit of anxiety, but never shaking uncontrollably because of it. Prior to the disorder I traveled the world and had no anxiety being on TV or interviewing celebrities.
I used (and still use) the supplement. Spent a week on PubMed researching articles. Basically if you’re on an SSRI or have blood pressure issues it’s a no-go. Lion’s mane helps rebuild neural connections in the hippocampus, which is the most-overlooked aspect of regulating anxiety and it’s only been the past few years where it is better understood. At one point I couldn’t go further than down the street and Excedrin would be too much caffeine and give me a panic attack. Now I can have as much coffee as I want and drive wherever.
I’m outside of the house at the moment.
I’m hoping you are keeping good habits at home, like brushing your teeth and taking out the trash.
I am, mostly. Depression is a pain in the ass.
I was practically homebound from panic disorder. Lion’s mane saved my ass.
