Meh:
I've caved in and started using CBD oil, it's got pretty mainstream marketing now. I've stayed away from the whole stoner culture but right now I don't care. Year 2020 might be the year I turn into Beavis and Butthead.
Plus people say CBD even THC isn't for stoners anymore. It is legal here and not needing a prescription IS A bonus. The day I felt like puking due to nerves I decided all this misery is BS.
Hopalong:
Has it helped?
I got some too but have only taken it once...before the election I was in knots.
Was taking other stuff too so am not super sure what effect it had.
Reminds me to try it again.
Thanks,
Hops
Twoapenny:
I'll keep my fingers crossed the CBD helps, P, I've found it very useful for my nerves and have been taking it for a couple of years now. It just kind of smooths the edges out for me, no feeling of being stoned! Although I would quite like that, to be honest lol. Hope it helps you feel a bit more settled xx
Meh:
It's 350 mg transdermal (topical) CBD, I think No THC.
It might be placebo, but yes I do believe it is helping a little bit. I wasn't expecting this but I also think my asthma is having an improvement, asthma being an chronic inflammation issue. I only starting taking it this week and I'm considering trying a combo of tincture and topical/transdermal if I manage to go back to a dispensary that is willing to due some no contact thing and bring it to the door for me.
In the past I tried Bosweillia for an anit-inflammatory for asthma, it does work but it causes HIGH BLOOD pressure so I really don't recommend that.
Theoretically THC can increase anxiety and it's addictive. CBD I guess is being marketed as non-addictive. I'm no expert.
I just want to achieve a calm, focused, motivated state of mind.
I've been at an anxious, scatter-brained, overwhelmed, pressured frame of mind.
This line of thinking got me to discussing Adderall with a friend, he thinks he has moments of ADD type behavior where he gets very hyper. I certainly don't want to get on prescription for many things. Students actually use Adderall to help them get through testing and so forth, it's messed up. People have to perform but I can't help but wonder if this is the best model for learning/achieving.
Flip side of it though is I'm not currently medicated, even my dang $300.00 asthma medication gets clogged up in the dispenser so anyhow. I'm currently open minded to trying out a variety of CBD products at the dispensaries.
I hear ya two, at this point getting stoned for Christmas sounds like a good way to not spend time with "family" "covid friends" or whatever the alternative.
It's super windy and stormy here in a pretty gray winter sort of way, low clouds zooming by and the trees whipping around.
Meh:
On my mother's side of the family, grandmother appeared to have some undiagnosed thing that looked like very hyper behavior, anger, frustration, Narcissism or Bipolar IDK. She was smart and high functioning but terrible parent, alcoholic taking valium. She had three kids, my uncle, mother, aunt. All three have had anxiety disorders/depression. My uncle was officially diagnosed with OCD by a psychiatrist but doesn't take meds for it. He has money for therapy and I think that is what he does. Apparently the meds haven't worked well on him but he has tried it I think. My aunt has money and probably does a lot of therapy, it's not known what meds she has tried or is currently taking. My mother takes citalopram and without it she is a royal blotch, very irritable and impatient. My mother and Aunt both tend to drink a lot. My brother drank a lot, he had anxiety and I'm not sure what else.
Not sure why I am writing this out. Sometimes I forget I am impacted by anxiety and depression because I accept it as normal but my normal isn't other people's normal.
I've been pretty clean my whole life I can't blame anxiety and emotional problems on substance use, the only thing I use consistently is coffee, coffee like crazy, obviously some people say that is bad for anxiety but even when I stop drinking coffee I can have sleepless nights. So anyhow. I'm just writing this out for my own reality check because whatever I deal with is certainly exacerbated.. like everybody else right now, this pandemic stuff and bad news is just nuts.
