>anxiety has been a constant through my life, and molly showed me what it was like to not feel it
This is so interesting to read, because I had exactly the same experience - primarily with social anxiety.
I sat on a hill at a festival with a friend after taking MDMA for the first time and imagined just walking up to a food van and ordering food… and didn’t feel the automatic anxious reaction.
It showed me what was there, and what life could feel like without it. I found that it started a positive feedback loop afterwards, where I’d do something social and automatically steel myself against the incoming anxiety… only to feel none! It was absolutely beautiful.
