Before my state legalized, they had a very narrow list of qualified conditions for medical and they were considering adding OCD-- I overcame all my anxiety about it and actually wrote a letter about how much it helped me...they didn't approve it but now they've both taken away the list so you can qualify for anything with a drs approval and it's legal-- it literally has helped me sometimes more then medication. (I still take medication/go to therapy) but I'm so glad it has helped you! Like literally. <3

I am considering trying CBD aswell. I’m curious as to how you take it, when and how often? Very glad that it’s working for you. Best wishes

Just within the 1.5 hours my heart rate is down, i don’t even care about anything .. I don’t want to cry or kill/hurt myself , no nervousness, no more going to the crisis center or calling the hotline, I wanna scream and cry cuz I’m so happy ..... I have an appetite too ??????... I would’ve been a mess like last week if I did not have this. I just hope my therapist can see the difference.. I hope this can last for a while like this. I’m trying to embrace it , but it’s almost like I’m living a dream. I never thought this is how it would be. I was suffering so much I could not bare to live like that anymore ...and I would not be around for that much longer if it kept going the way it did !!! ❤️

Do it. I’ve been so many pharmacial pills (17) and everything was worse. I only take it in the Am and 0.5 mg at 500 strength, there is 300,500,&1000. In the oil wise. There is other but this works the quickest . I haven’t taken any since since am and it’s been 13 hours and no anxiety still ☺️.. it’s wonderful I can actually breathe.

At this point I feel like I need to get on something ASAP. I know that therapy is a long road and hard work and I am totally down to do it but in the short term (I just started this journey) I think I need pharmaceutical help. Some of the people closest to me agree. I have never been on meds before and it's scary AF but the road I am going down is scarier. Advice?

For the past three years I've smoked marijuana nearly everyday. It helped with my anxiety and quieting my brain and helped me sleep. Recently, it began to make me feel more anxious, i would wake up nauseous and even threw up a couple of times which really triggered some health anxiety. I decided to quit because of this and i'm almost 2 weeks out from the last time I smoked. My body is slowly recovering but my brain just doesn't seem to quit it. I went to my GP a couple of weeks ago for a routine checkup and everything came back normal in my blood work and exam, yet that hasn't stopped me from completely obsessing over my health and feeling like (in my mind, not my body) i'm seriously ill- which is giving me extreme anxiety. Because of my reoccurring stomach issues my GP referred me to a GI who I had an appointment with yesterday. He was very unimpressed by everything I said and seemed like everything is pointing to IBS-which is not serious and something my mother also deals with. He ordered some extra tests to make sure I wasn't dealing with inflammation and he said he was very confident that my internal vital organs were a completely fine. I'm still waiting on those test results and his confidence should I have made me feel better but i'm still freaking out. Everybody in my life is tired of hearing about it and I just don't know what to do anymore. I feel like i'm pushing people away. I feel good and like myself when I'm distracted and doing something fun, but mornings and nights and when i'm doing something mundane it's the worst. I feel like I can feel all of these pains and sensations but I have no idea if it's real. I've even started asking Chatgpt for constant reassurance and constantly googling my symptoms. I'm in a horrible loop. I should mention that on top of quitting weed, I also just graduated college, moved back home and my boyfriend and I started the longest period of long distance we've ever had to do so i'm just not feeling like myself at all. My psychiatrist just put me on Zoloft (my vomiting and intense anxiety coincided with when i began taking Prozac again so she wanted me to try something else) I'm only on day 3 of the meds but nausea and insomnia are the two side effects im dealing with right now which is just making my anxiety so much worse before the meds have even kicked in. Does anyone have advice on how to break this cycle of constant checking-i feel like taking a deep breath has even turned into a compulsion.
