re: magnesium: two months later and it's hard to unequivocally rec because i've been doing a ton of stuff but somewhere between magnesium, sunlight, walks, dopamine detox, and probably social stuff i seem to have stopped having strong feelings of grief and fear all the time

here is my tentative recommendation for magnesium glycinate so far: it appears to be making me more anxious but in a good way specifically i suspect the anxiety is buried psychological material that i haven't felt safe enough to work with coming up

i can't find it because he went private at some point which apparently permanently wrecks your tweet searchability but
@sadalsvvd
said something about how magnesium made his mental health "so stable it's a little boring" and yeah it's kinda like that 😅

i guess i thought this was obvious for some reason but *also*: for most of january and february i was constantly processing a ton of emotions that kept coming up, sometimes triggered by the magnesium (!?). bio-emotive, IFS, IPF, SE, expanded awareness were the heavy hitters

i think that put me in a good position to relax and open up wrt
@tpotvibecamp
b/c i wasn't holding a ton of emotions about other stuff, and then vibecamp itself was also both really soothing and really energizing so: hard to say how much was due to *just* the magnesium

so i am much more on board this train than i used to be, but i'll add that a year or two ago i was also too depressed and anxious to do any of this stuff, and i needed some way to bootstrap to being able to do it, which for me was self-therapy

It feels like we are right at the cusp of this moment where people give up the fads and learn that good relationships, time in nature, physical movement, and a well rounded diet are actually all you need to solve mental/physical/spiritual problems. twitter.com/QiaochuYuan/st…

ahahaha that's wonderful! tbh "not knowing what I would do if I wasn't spending all my time triggered" was a huuuuge obstacle to my healing. visioning "a beautiful home connected to earth with loved ones and community, art / dance / massage / delicious food" helped a lot
