Weed Helps Anxiety

I've heard that "Green Crack" strain helps a lot with focus, and have heard some strains help with ADD. Not sure if true.

Odd thing about anxiety... I have heard weed can help with anxiety, but I've also heard of people who get anxiety from using weed as well. Not sure how that works or why it is.

Glad to hear you're being responsible and not using cannabis while pregnant... that would be bad for your child's future.

 

Cannabis is medicine for the human condition.

 

its why I toke...everyone says Im high strung .....bummer

 

The human ailments both physical and mental.
Cannabis seems to help with a great many of them.

 

It helps with my slight PTSD I managed to pick up in recent years...But that's so minor compared to most cases that I do fine without as well, just better with weed is all.

 

Relatively the same but PTSD occurs due to a traumatic event and usually manifests in flashbacks to that event for the moment, whereas anxiety occurs over a longer amount of time continuously.

When I have an episode, it typically doesn't last much more than a half a day or so and even then, it rarely happens that I have an episode...But with anxiety that will just keep rolling on and on for a good while.

 

I close up and off from the world around me...Which isn't hard since I'm already closed off from the world around me. I just have to burn through my episodes since I'm uninsured and don't have money even if I was insured, but I usually just sit and write or draw, anything that can keep my mind occupied on something else for that moment.

Although, like I said, I have a really minor case of PTSD and it rarely ever comes up...I don't think you're a mess, we're human and within that broad diversity we deal with situations in different ways, no one way is any worse than the other, whatever makes tomorrow "okay."

Life...Is hard...

 

Weed helps me stay calm. Not from anxiety or fear or depression. From being frustrated easily causing irrational anger. Not prone to angry outbursts, don't fly off the handle unless I'm alone. That's rare, but a needed blessing when it happens. Ever absolutely scream at something, yell every single derogatory phrase that you can imagine at the top of your lungs getting more creative as you go until you are left out of breath and exhausted, simply because that thing didn't work like it was supposed to? Like maybe a zipper? Or your own fingers? When it's over it's like you popped a huge pimple under pressure that you didn't even know was there. Ahhhh, that's better, better than blowing up at an actual person, too. Other people don't frustrate me, my internal monologue keeps me amused(another thread). And it's not the caffeine, I checked that too.(another thread). It is inanimate objects or myself that frustrate me. Weed helps me take that extra second to wait, or that deep breath first kind of attitude that keeps my dog from thinking I'm a complete psycho.

 

I had anxiety and severe panic attacks in my teen years before trying drugs. Weed would alter it making it better or worse. These days I don't feel the slightest panic attack or even stress. Maybe the few years of seizures left me with some positives.
