My experience after 3 weeks

I just got off a call with my boss where she told me that she had noticed a big difference in how I'm showing up to work lately. She knows that I am bipolar and wanted to tell me how happy she was that I seemed to be doing so well.

I am sitting here just floored. I have been struggling with my mental health for over 15 years, and I have never once gotten a compliment from anyone on my mood. The fact that she noticed and shared that with me within 3 weeks of starting to microdose just blows my mind.

To give you the full picture, I am autistic, ADHD, and bipolar. I am a technical leader at a technical consultancy, so my job requires a ton of critical thought, as well as deep thinking and coding periods. I've gotten to where I am because I am the stereotypical overachiever but for most of my life it has been a serious struggle to regulate myself enough to be considered normal. Like I said, I am not the type to get compliments on my behavior.

I have been taking 1.5 gummies per day first thing in the morning while I prepare to start work on Monday through Thursday. Not only have people noticed that I'm doing better, but I also feel more creative than I have in a decade. I'm playing music more often and feeling compelled to write songs again.

I had really high hopes for this treatment, and they have been far, far exceeded already. In 3 weeks. It's really hard for me to even believe.
