Lay your crunchy and non-traditional adhd/anxiety strategies on me. I want to know it all … crystals? Chakras? Mushrooms? Special diet? Abandon all rational judgementalness if you enter this thread.

I tend to quickly dismiss any solutions that are not medication, but I want to stretch myself. What non-traditional, crunchy, out of the box things do you do or practice that you feel have a real impact on your mental health.

EDIT: science backed shit is welcome here too!

Please don’t enter this thread just to be a downer on people’s beliefs.

Here are some thing that play an important role for me:

• Meditation. When I do it regularly I find I can “flip the switch” and feel peace quickly. My set up is extra though… noise cancelling headphones with binaural beats (see next), lights off sitting up in my bed, a little indica if I have time), candle or light projector, buzzy machine from my EMDR sessions set to a super low and slow cadence under my knees.

• Binaural beats! But you have to find the right hertz. This one was actually given to me by my pysch. https://www.binauralbeatsmeditation.com/product/anxiety-release/. Totally worth the 9.99, but there are free playlists on Spotify too. This one is just the most effective for me.
