I recognize myself a fair bit in this, though I probably tend to overdiagnose myself. But now I've got questions!

How did you learn so much about your neurochemistry, especially your neurotransmitter levels? Any past experiences with medication?

And how do you deal with creative downtime, or relaxing?

23andme raw genome data run through promethease. I've got bunk genes for 'em.

Medication - yeah, tried a variety in my early 20's, hated side effects, ended up anxious over not being anxious.

Downtime and forced relaxation - weed. Only way I can make myself sit still.
