So for a long time, I didn't believe shifting really worked. That was until my friend (
rottingshampoobottle) talked more and more about shifting, so I decided to try it. I used the Julia method (My previously mentioned friend suggested this method), wrote a script, and tried.
Attempt 1: EXTREMELY lucky first attempt. Felt a LOT of symptoms, I actually could tell I was basically on the verge of getting to my DR. And then I got the urge to open my eyes. They felt glued shut, and ofc I was worried about going to sleep and having my eyes glued shut. For about 25 minutes, I tried to ignore it, but after a while I couldn't anymore because I wasn't able to fall asleep. So I opened my eyes, gave up for the night, and went to sleep.
Attempt 2 (Last night): I feel like I should've taken a break before trying again, which I'm going to do this time, but whatever I tried anyways. I took melatonin so it'd be easier to fall asleep, however that melatonin was STRONG and kicked in very fast. I got to the counting part of the method, but I believe I only got to 40 before falling asleep. I also just couldn't relax very easily last night for some reason. So yeah, not super successful. But that's ok! I got lucky for my first attempt, that doesn't mean I'm gonna have attempts like that every time.
