Does CBD oil help you with your depression and/or anxiety?
I am curious to know if anyone has had success with CBD or Hemp oil helping with depression/anxiety? I’ve been reading a lot about it and am curious.
I've been reading about this and am very interested but would like thoughts/opinions from anyone who has actually tried it or knows someone who has. TIA
Thank you,
Laura

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?

1 ReactionMy 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?

2 Reactions@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!

2 Reactionsrascal- 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?

1 ReactionMerry, 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!

2 ReactionsMamacita- 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.

2 Reactions@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

1 Reaction@mamacita I am boxing up 6 quilts to go to the Pine Ridge Reservation dialysis unit. Tomorrow we will spend 4 hours decorating the Rose Parade float for Donate Life. We have done this every December since my husband's kidney transplant. Did you know that UPS donates all of the funds needed to transport materials and the floral pictographs that appear on the Donate Life float? Sunday will be for resting. Yep, going to take care of myself also. CBD oil will be nearby as well as Tylenol if needed. This change in the weather is really hurting my system physically.
