Does CBD oil help you with your depression and/or anxiety?

@gingerw , thank you for responding regarding this! I really put myself out there this week and I had to pay for it yesterday. Had some actual grunt work placed upon me by circumstances beyond my imagination or control. I got through it with no food, no water, no medicine, just flying by the seat of my pants as I love to do. A quick response was necessary and that's exactly what happened.

Oh vey! The muscles in my body are still so tight and painful. But yesterday's work to help someone else in real time, and an innocent child at that, was exhilerating. There's no better place I would rather be than to follow the Universe's leading. To listen to that and feel that it is exactly where you should be and what you should be doing is heavenly. The relief to know that someone in power actually listened to what I was saying and would act on it.

Today will be therapeutic home care (ie, cleaning! Ha!) And resting, using my bag of tricks to get through this flare. I just live you, lil sistah!

Mamacita- CBD oil does not make you high. I don't want that either and I stay away from THC altogether. I think it's worth a try, call your doctor. You can also say that you are stressed, maybe ptsd?

Thank you so very much but I don’t know how to locate a reputable dispensary.

raascal- Ask your doctor! Google it for your state.

My dr isn’t fond of the idea of CBD oil as we don’t yet know the ramifications of its use with rx drugs. I ordered some CBD oil through the internet but haven’t taken because I’m not sure of their purity.
Does it help your gastro problems?

@mamacita no need for me to tell you to be gentle on yourself! We know that you will do that today. The adrenaline rush of yesterday will catch up with you today and leave you probably pretty sensitive to everything. We know that that is normal after that kind of an output of energy and emotion. What a good thing to be in place for a young child who needed help. As for the CBD oil I was careful when I was researching this has almost no THC in it, so that there would be no issue "getting high". I use a strength that is 10 mg / 1/2 dropper full. Have fun cleaning your house -when you get done you can come up to mine and help me. Just kidding!

rascal- I'm not sure if it does. All I can say about this is your have to follow your doctor's advice or change doctors. I take two antidepressants and if I feel overly anxious I take one dropper of oil. It is organic and naturally grown, which to me is better than another pill. I can only go by the assurance of my compassion center's that the oil they sell is pure. What company did you order it from?

Merry, being Autistic with my ability to hear, see, feel, and otherwise experience all the information around me at a whirwinds pace, yes, I would definitely say there is stress. I have learned through the years different ways to cope with this constant flood of information. To redirect, as one might re direct a stream out in the countryside. To make something good out of what was bound to defeat me. But as I have gotten older, the intensity of pain in my literal nervous system, muscles, tendons, etc may require greater interventions. Thank you again for your support and helpful information. I owe you one!

Mamacita- I am new here so I had no idea that you have Autism. Good for you in striving to deal with everything that is overwhelming. Support is always and you do not owe me anything. Just be well.

@gingerw I would absolutely LOVE to come and help you with your housework! It is actually very therapeutic for me. I have ADHD as you may remember, so once I am on a roll, nothing but God Himself can stop me.

As much as I preach to everyone on here and all my groups on Facebook about self care, you'd best believe I will be pampering myself and soothing my soul with time, love, peace, and kindness. I may even take an Epsom Salts Bath!

You all have a restful day this weekend. Rest at least one day! Both if you can! Find something that refreshes your spirit and go for it.

Love and light, me lovelies,

Mamacita
