I started having intense depression and anxiety out of nowhere about a week ago. About three weeks ago I was in a pretty significant car wreck where I was banged up a little, and about a month and a half ago I had a bad mushroom trip where I believed I had died. I have also done some competitive MMA fights as well, but I haven't done any in a few years, and do kratom on a regular daily basis. Any thoughts on what could help my situation?

Hi there and thanks so much for your question.
You've certainly have had a lot going on of late
My first thought is to always get checked medically
I'd suggest seeing your Primary care physician for a consult
just to err on the side of caution.
The recent car crash was I'm sure overwhelming
Coupling what may have been a traumatic experience with the
overwhelming emotional experience of the experience you had on mushrooms
Those two events alone would leave one susceptible to a depressive episode.
I don't know your history and am mainly curious as to whether you've struggled with
feelings of depression in the past?
Either way - it feels like this is a good time to take stock and become introspective.
Do some journal writing about where your life is - what if any unmet needs exist,
what still hurts? Is your life moving in the direction you want it to? Are you living in
a way that provides fulfillment and satisfaction?
It doesn't have to be the case that something is wrong to increase your investments in you.
I hope you have loved ones who support you and who offer feedback about what they're seeing in you.
