Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the Shelley Tasker Show on radiosoapbox.com. Today is Wednesday, 14th August 2024. It's just me today, going solo, and I want to share some personal experiences and insights on mental health, particularly depression, which I've battled for nearly 30 years. I discuss my journey with antidepressants, attempts to wean off them, and the challenges of dealing with depression, including the recent low period I've experienced.
I've also been exploring alternative healing methods, such as sound baths and meditation, and the impact of diet on mental health. Recently, I've delved into the world of mushrooms, including their potential benefits for mental health and motivation. I share my experiences with sound healing baths and my interest in microdosing mushrooms to help with depression.
Additionally, I touch on the challenges at my job as an activities coordinator in a nursing home, dealing with the loss of favourite clients, and the potential closure of the home. This has added to my recent struggles with depression.
Despite the tough times, I've found a new sense of motivation and excitement in exploring natural remedies and the potential of microdosing. I discuss the research and benefits of mushrooms, including a fascinating documentary on Netflix called 'Fantastic Fungi' and various studies on the effects of psilocybin.
