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

Posted by lalyfa @lalyfa, Feb 24, 2018

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

@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

@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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

Pug hugs and lots of light to you...

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 ?
