Don't forget meditation, and CBD!!! Meditating 10-15min/day will do wonders for anxiety and more.
I thought CBD was a joke myself. Now, my experience is not human. It's animals. I have a small dog with seizures. She had seizures several times a week, and extreme anxiety. The vet told us to try CBD, and slowly ramped up her dosage over time. The benefits were amazing! She may have a seizure about once every couple of months, she's no longer taking prescription meds, and mostly calmed down in high stress situations. Worked for her. Another pup I have with hip dysplasia could not run or jump. Now she's running and jumping. So there could be some benefits for humans. A guy at work takes it also, and says be careful not to get it from any ol vap store. He recommends only the highest quality, which is expensive in comparison.
Cbd is different from reg thc weed..give it a shot! Also magic mushrooms are good for healing, but dont work for everyone.
I know someone who uses kratum. Totally fucked up. I’d stay far from that shit as possible.
CBD works so well you don't realize it's working because you just feel balanced. On the mushroom side, even more so than most substances, they magnify your state of mind, for good or bad. I don't touch them unless I'm in a good frame of mind and in that case, I find them cathartic, although I've heard of the cases in which they heal traumatized minds, and ayahuasca too.
The first time I tried CBD I had no clue really and just ordered a tincture and gummies... not knowing the proper dosage I should be taking, etc. It didn't work so I went back to pot. I then found a local distributor who is also a pharmacist who recommended a higher dosage tincture, 1800mg, and that worked. I took half a dropper under the tongue every morning, when my tolerance got higher I went to full dropper. Used this in order to ween of of antidepressants and it worked, been free for 2 years and I dont need the cbd anymore either. I also got these delicious candies called giraffe nuts that you can order online, 1 candy is 30mg and it gives a calming effect without high, first time made me a little sleepy but that's it. I understand it isn't a 1 size fits all but many of us go into these products not knowing proper dosing and then waste money bc they don't benefit from it. I hope this explanation helps someone else, only reason why I share. I've struggled for almost 15 years and now I am pharma fee and pretty much anxiety and depression free too. It is a mindset that has to start from within, Journaling helps a lot too.
Kratom is good too!
I second that and tai chi.
Not everyone takes to CBD.
I tried CBD in basically every dose from the tolerable flavors to the skunky gross shit that smells like my neighbors smoking pot.
It did nothing to change my feelings, my behavior, my worries or fears, it did nothing to assuage any anxiety, it didn't even help me chill out for bed.
It's worth a try, but it doesn't help everyone. I don't tend to take to any medicines very well historically either, having been on a couple medications when I was young that made no functional changes except affecting my metabolism negatively.
I still believe it's a fad from my own personal experiences, but other people will disagree based on theirs. So, I'm just saying that people shouldn't expect a miracle from something repeatedly touted as one.
same here kinda. I tried taking it for sleep issues. Didn't work at all
I would say you probably didn't have the proper dose or quality CBD. I paid $90 for one bottle of tincture, lasted almost 3 months though, for some people $90 is a lot to spend on a "medicine" so they find the deals and with that lacks quality and efficacy.
I understand that, I was not implying that it was a 1 size fits all just another recommendation to OP post. I also had a waste of money and time experience with it and then tried again after speaking to a pharmacist and understanding proper dosage and ways to take it. I found the tincture worked best for me, but it isn't a 1 size fits all. These are recommendations for people to research themselves and use as they feel necessary.
caution cbd contains trace amounts of THC that will show up on a drug test, if you consume a lot. It'll take about 3-4 days of stopping to pass a standard drug panel.
