Ahhhh. That felt calming to read. Every time you connect to nature and express that, Pseudo, I feel like you're with your medicine. Nature is your friend, you see it and don't ignore it.

Fwiw, a doctor once told me: "When you have anxiety, taking in caffeine is like pouring gasoline on a fire."

Chamomile?

Hug
Hops

Meh:
Yeah I do love nature even in the winter time. Of course it's conditional love as long as I am warm! Once I am cold all bets are off.

Well, it sounds like you're doing OK; figuring things out Mouse. I always wonder how you're doing and if having a group of people you actually TRUSTED and liked would help some. But since I'm such a hermit - and happy that way - it's just a question and not a recommendation. LOL. I find that I enjoy being around people more BECAUSE I spend so much time alone.

As to the CBD, and methods of ingestion. As well as other micro-dose substances, I would recommend a tincture. Also, investigate some of the mushroom tinctures - reishi, lion's mane, etc. A couple droppers a day of CBD might be too much - each person has to use trial & error to find what's comfortable for them. Hol has been using a micro-dose tincture that S makes. And whether it's placebo effect or not - she says it has helped her a LOT with letting go the hamster-wheel thought stuckness and lowering her anxiety. She still THINKS those thoughts; she just doesn't get stuck there while anxiety builds to explosion levels. So it's evened things out a bit for her. Doesn't solve EVERYTHING mind you.

She and I have been sharing a sleep oddity... off & on, for me; more standard for her. We're both waking up every few hours. But I have a tendency to be able roll with these things rather than think it's a problem and needs "fixed". It just is, what it is - and maybe that's OK right now.

I hope ya can find a comfortable groove and enjoy the rest of world taking time off from "normal".... and keep an eye out for those simple joys.
