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

Yes Merry, my love, I am one of the most verbal Auties you will ever meet. I started speaking in full sentences when I was only six months old. I am an odd old bird. Diagnosed much later in life with ADHD. Medicine helped, but there was still something I couldn't quite put my finger on. And I had a degree in Psychology, worked directly under a school system Psychologist, and was asked to be the Director for the School System Autism Unit/Program.

I had always wondered why I had such an affinity for the children in my care who were on the Autism Spectrum. It seemed as if I was being guided by an unseen force to do the right tbing, make the right choices, and invent a plan to accommodate my kid's needs. I questioned if I was just appropriating their symptoms.

But looking back at my life, which was almost a photographic memory experience, I knew. The kicker was when I learned that most other people did not think in pictures like I do. It was astounding to me. Like a lightning bolt from heaven.

I help a bit on one of the Autism sites we have here at Mayo Clinic Connect. I concentrate primarily on the "feels", the encouragement, and support for those of my tribe who are adults and feel they have no safe place to be where they can just be themselves.

If anyone is on the Spectrum, they know they are welcome here. When I "talk " to people on that discussion group, I imagine it like a virtual coffee shop. Warm and cozy. Helpful, calming, and accepting. Hopefully, it will eventually be that place for orhers.

Thanks for all your good words today! Enjoyed our time together very much.

Ordered from Lifeline and Herba Pure.

Mamacita- WOW is all I can say. You are certainly an inspiration. Against all odds you became a hero and mentor and teacher to so many people in need. I'm glad that you were diagnosed so that you "know" what was different. Have enjoyed myself talking with you. Have a good afternoon.

rascal- I found this site that might help you- https://cbdoilreview.org/cbd-companies/ The only reviews that I found for Herba Pure is through their own ads. Did you buy Herba Pure through Lifeline>

Thanks. They are separate companies. I’ll try your site.

@gingerw , we have had rain all day today. Right now I am just being lazy on the living room sofa, check ing Mayo Clinic emails and trying to ignore the stress of yesterday.

Safe travels and good luck with all your efforts tomorrow for such a worthy cause.

Pug hugs and lots of light to you...

I have been told to try Fairway 300 mg pm has anybody tried it Tincher

I have severe depression and severe anxiety social anxiety and a lot of other things I'm a chronic avid High Indica smoker I was told to try CBD Tincher Fairway 300 mg p.m. has anyone tried I'm also been on pain medication for 14 years but within the last 3 months I've been completely dropped off down to very very low including my anxiety meds my Klonopin has been dropped massive Lilo from the 10 years of high dosage so I'm struggling

I’m sorry you’ve been struggling so as have I with severe anxiety and depression. I haven’t tried CBD oil but don’t know where to begin.
Do you mean that you’ve lowered your Klonopin dosage and other meds and possibly in withdrawal from Benzo and opioids ?

@3148743 Welcome to Mayo Connect! I'm not quite sure what you mean by a high Indica smoker. Does this mean that you smoke a lot of it or does this refer to the dosage? I use CBD oil and find that it helps with anxiety and depression and my PTSD. But I also take an anti depressant and wellbutin. I am sorry that you are struggling. Some people on this site have mentioned Fairway but I buy my oil at a compassion store in my state. I'm leery about buying this on-line. CBD oils are popping up everywhere now and I don't think that there has been enough time for the bad companies to be weeded out. Is there a dispensary near yu? If so I'd ask there advice about dosages and the balance with thc and oil. Drug withdrawal can cause depression so perhaps that is causing your present symptoms. Have you asked your doctor for advice with this?
