I had a really rough onboarding period with almost every side effect from the book (tremors, anxiety, headaches, head pressure, dialated pupils, blank mind, emotional numbing etc.). ... Blunted emotions (not even fear, sadness, irritation or anxiety) Blank mind (no thoughts..) ... I used to be a highly sensitive and empathetic person. I used to feel things deeply.
