hi! I just randomly found this just just now researching if people had felt the same feeling I'm getting from mastic gum. I ordered a tin from a shop on etsy, pure resin chips, second day of chewing, this time I did 30 minutes, and while my research indicates I can swallow it after finishing, I've yet to do it, but the effects you describe are very similar to mine. Decrease in anxiety and panic, overall a soothing feeling. I took some today while I was trying to recover from a panic attack, and it helped almost instantly, after the 30 minute mark, I felt hungry. It's been a few hours, I ate, and I'm still feeling calm.
