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

magnesium glycinate is probably better! this is what i've been drinking, finished my first little tub and bought 3 more already

the initial effect i felt pretty much immediately; like i mentioned in the tweet from january the initial effect was actually that i became *more* anxious, but i had the tools at that point to consistently work through the anxiety and then felt better the rest of the day

i don't remember when the initial spike of anxiety stopped happening but maybe 4-6 weeks in which is also around when i'd say my emotional experience clearly became smoother overall (although complicated by the fact that i got into some weird conflicts around then)
