... Now that I think of it this might be the whole safeties thing. I have a bunch of pre-made routines in my head. I know how ridiculous that sounds, but when my anxiety was really bad creating scripts for myself was the only way I could function. I'm wondering if my mind is still clinging onto those scripts because they are the safer option and it's reluctant to go outside of them because they "work".
Hey Mat, here's a link to an article on magnesium L-threonate (MgT.)
The salient quote from this article for your consideration:
Overcoming Anxiety
"Animal studies demonstrate that MgT helps reduce fear-related memories, and prevents fear memories from becoming over-generalized—actions that contribute directly to reductions in anxiety.
While fear plays an important role in keeping us safe from real threats, persistent fearful memories from a specific traumatic occurrence, such as a car accident, can cause us to become anxious and even paralyzed into inactivity.
A supplement like MgT that can squelch fearful memories, while also helping our brains put them into context, represents a real step forward in addressing debilitating elements of brain aging."
Good luck!
