  • To add to this, even realizing your anxiety is a problem is a huge step. See a doctor and/or a therapist.

    I struggled for a long time because I thought I was depressed when that was true, but I was depressed about the things my anxiety kept me from doing.

    Knowing that anxiety is holding you back makes it clear that you'll be much happier if you figure that out.

  • You aren't an asshole, but she deserves an explanation at least.

    But... nobody knows these things until they figure it out. And you don't figure it out without taking that leap.

    So you like each other, see where that goes. Just tell her you panicked when she asked and that you're new at this.

  • We don't know what's going on in the brain at that moment. It might be enough during an oxygen starved moment. It might be only one piece of a much larger puzzle.

    I'm not claiming to have answers, only possible insight.

    I did have one friend who did a larger dose of DMT with a cocktail that let the trip last for eight hours rather than five minutes. Maoi inhibitor I think, keeping the drug from being broken down quickly. He thought he had overdosed, died, and was facing judgment.

  • All I can say is that the brain produces DMT when near death, and I have done DMT. Not a ton, but I have.

    Until that is properly studied, we can't know much more about NDEs, in my opinion.

    I'm sure DMT is but a small piece of that puzzle, but the feeling (whether real or chemically induced) of being in contact with cognizant entities on DMT is not uncommon.

    Personally, I'm an agnostic atheist. I think we are entities that end. But I'm not so stubborn to consider that there is more to reality than what I know.

    So I am inclined to dismiss NDEs and the like as being some kind of transcendent contact. Just full disclosure, no disrespect intended.
