Thank you for sharing all of this with me. I definitely relate to a lot of what you said and what your son is going through as well.
I started taking magnesium taurate, vegan omega-3 69, and “bio beat“ organic beetroot extract pills – only because trying to drink more than 2 cups of beet juice a day was pure torture, not to mention very high sugar content-
I did find a high-quality CBD that I trust.
I’m sooo sensitive to thc so medical marijuana did the exact opposite to me. It made me incredibly paranoid and I ended up in the ER one time. Not a good time.
So it took me a while to find a CBD that I could trust.
It helps when I’m having certain types of body pains or anxieties
Right now I’m looking for a good therapist that is familiar with anxiety disorders and PTSD
I’m so happy that your son has you to advocate for him and support him
When I was growing up, it was basically unheard of for a child to have any type of psychiatric illness. Especially anxiety and panic attack attacks.
But I remember them quite clearly inaccurately going all the way back to kindergarten. I just couldn’t express properly, but my father did tell me that he remembers me coming home from school telling him that “my heart was beating so fast, but I wasn’t running” & it started making sense to him as I got older. That all of the things my teacher’s complained about were all directly related to anxiety and full-blown panic attack attacks.
He apologized profusely, but I didn’t blame him. Things were much different in the 80s versus now. Thank goodness.
Thank you again for your kindness and for sharing all of this with me. It really helps me feel better and like I’m not truly alone. I know I’m not the only one going through this, but sometimes I just feel alone.
Sending love and good vibes to you and your family

I suffer from severe anxiety and have not been able to get any relief even though I have tried at least 8 or 9 different medications in the past 8 months. I also suffer from protracted withdrawal from improperly stopping using Effexor. The Effexor was great for the 30 years I was on it but I foolishly decided I didn’t need it anymore. At least 4 Providers have also tried to reintroduce me to Effexor without success. Improperly stopping the Effexor ruined my life and my husband’s life. It is taking such a huge toll on us. There is no light at the end of the tunnel.
