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

Dosage depends on what is going on in my body.
.
I am in a severe relapse of multiple sclerosis, I have had 2 brain events, TIA? In the last 6 months. I got off my antidepressant and the result is high anxiety at times. COPD
Other illnesses but those are the major ones.
When I have enough supply, I have been taking 50 mg 3 times a day. It has turned my life Around getting on it and again not having enough...
Listen to your body....it it's uncomfortable try some more.
What health challenges do you have if you would like to share...
.
Be sure to Google to see if your medications are compatible with CBD.

@brightwings I have found consistent dosing is key with CBS products, to maintain a good level in your system. Then tuck a bit more in when symptoms flare up.

Checking in...Right now I can hardly smile. I also realize that minute by minute, I can feel my body sinking into depression. My brain, muscles, there is no life in me...no vibrancy. I am feeling an incredible weight.
.
Now realize, I am incredibly attuned to my body, mind and spirit, much more so than a usual person.
.
I moved in December, just 37 miles but out of the wilderness to the biggest city of the area. Southern Missouri...almost 4,000 folks here in this big city. Giggling, I used to be a Chicago girl.
I caught that giggle, did you?
My life instantly turned around from a secretly sad lonely 68 year old woman who isolated to being the Darling of the Senior Center and now also the local legion hall of Vets...
I was singing, telling jokes to the entire room alot, back to the extrovert I was raised to be, touching folks...why? Cuz no body touches old people...just saying...
Anyway, I was having the time of my life...I came alive, it was wonderful. Wow, look I am writing in past tense...interesting...as if that new life is gone. (Bear with me, not exactly rambling cuz there is intent in what I am doing...)
Singing is a gift that was just returned to me around valentines day after almost dying...I lost my ability to sing and play my mandolin because my multiple sclerosis took it in 2006. The biggest loss of my life.
.
So back to this wonderful life I had...
Monday I went to lunch at the senior center, and just didn't want to go to Monday nite music. Same as last week.
Tuesday, went to the Vets breakfast, but had not baked anything for it. Lunch as usual...home...
Today I chose not to go for coffee with the vets, even though I am told each time to sit at the Commanders table and the jokes do fly. Lunch, barely ate 1/3 of my lunch. Feeling so depressed. Not going to Thursday night music and did not bake for it.
.
Ok now the rest of the story.
.
The only thing that is different in my life is since December, I used to take 2,400 mg CBD each month. Because of lack of availability I was cut down to 600mg for this month.
The CBD allowed me to become the extrovert I am and the loss of the CBD sent me right back to the secretly sad, lonely depressed woman who is again starting to cut things out of my life that gave me thrills to participate in last month.
.
As I read this, I realize I don't care either. I can't believe I am saying all this and don't even care. Life with out CBD is no life for me.
.
Wow
.
CBD is being ordered first thing in the am, payday...
I WANT MY LIFE BACK.

Yes, I will be able to maintain my supply because I am now ordering directly from the company...no middleman.
I have a bit of money coming the end of the month, so will be ordering an extra months supply to keep on hand.
Its amazing, writing all that has hope flaring alive in me. It's been missed so much.
I am a nurse and have about 50 years mental health experience under my belt, so seeing the progression back to health and then the same loss of that wonderful life, wow, it startles me that CBD can made this much difference. I was just introduced to CBD last summer and have been gradually increasing the dosage. Found the right dose in Dec.
I will use this product for the rest of my life.

@brightwings Hey Brightwings! I’m Karen. I have suffered from depression & anxiety for about 40 years. Drugs work, then slow down & stop working. Right now it’s bad. I can’t get out of bed and need help. The trouble is that I’m in pain due to RA and fibro. So drs want to take away my pain med or anxiety med. CBD oil is the answer to prayers. However I have questions I hope you can help me with. Exactly how do you apply it? My bottle say 725 mg which I thought was high, since it starts around 200. How do you decide how many mg to take? How do you decide how often to take it? I would appreciate this so much! Thanks!!!
