How can I get my anxiety down? Its paralyzing lately

Post Reply New Topic

Somedays I cannot move properly because of an anxiety that comes from my stomach and mind. It feels like I cant do anything. I cannot tell if I need new meds or not.

I sleep a lot. I find myself unable to move because of anxiety. I sometimes need music to motivate me to get up and into a standing position. Music sometimes stresses me out though. I associate songs with specific events and stuff.

I feel like everyone is out to get me.

Avoid caffeine, try to smoke less pot if it makes you anxious.

Well to be fair about the weed thing, I get a lot out of CBD for anxiety but yeah, the common THC stuff is no help here.

Truth, trying another strain with more CBD might be worthwhile.

Yeah. I will try that instead of quitting. Weed helps me move and do things.

To be fair I wasn't suggest quit, just manage consumption. If you're using it to self-medicate there's always a point where the benefits are maxed out and the drawback start to get more severe. You've mentioned smoking a lot, I dunno what you call a lot but I've got some experience in this regard.

I get that, I even made an appointment to a medical marijuana clinic for next week because i am thinking if I can get my med card I could have more one on one interactions with a bud tender to really find the kind of weed that helps me, I am not just chasing a high I just want something that makes me feel nice and mellow.
I feel I have a number of conditions that the weed helps, but the only one on the list I have is PTSD, so I will have to specifically use that one for the reason I am seeking it.

I mean before weed was legalized, i remember from time to time getting some really mellow kind of stuff that caused more of a body high and just a nice relaxed feeling. But some of this THC chaser weed they sell in rec dispensaries like it is quite obviously for people into the like recreational high not so much for those of us who just want some mellowing weed to mellow us out. So I am hoping that goes well and they approve me for the med card. Main thing i am nervous about is it has been quite a very long time since I have had to bring up my PTSD to a stranger IRL so I am worried about like getting visibly upset or like crying in front of them about it(even though it is a doctor who has prescribed it to people for that so like they aren't going to judge me) but even so its still uncomfortable in my head if people see me get distraught about it. But well with the reviews of the place I scheduled my appointment sounds like they are very nice and understanding so I mean that kinda makes me feel a little better about it.
