Question for the Molly folks, do you have a terrible seratonin crash the next day? I haven't rolled since I was in college in the late 90's and I recall having absolutely soul crushing depression the day afterwards.

I was so ready for the comments here but unsurprisingly I think people are hesitant to share. I’ve never done anything since parenthood for a bunch of reasons - logistics - having a whole weekend to myself would be hard, legality and concerns around contamination. I’ve only ever spoken to one Mum friend about it and she wasn’t horrified but its not her thing. I struggle a lot with self judgement and anxiety and the few experiences I had pre-kids were great and something that definitively gave some insights that helped me - being able to understand that just because someone else was beautiful didn’t mean I wasn’t, letting go of a lot of judgment of others for liking different things to me, being able to chill (sometimes!). I rarely drink alcohol because it just makes me sleepy, and pot was very boring (maybe not a good batch).
