Anxious and Stressed

[shyazgirl]

Hi, just need to get out my feelings. Been single haven't been on a date in over 4 years. Single parent, no friends or family. Started a new job, work long hours, I try to make friends with my coworkers, but I have social anxiety and am quiet so no one talks to me. I try to stay strong but it's hard. I have constant pelvic pain that the Drs can't help. I know Percocet helps me feel better but I cant get them. I want therapy, can't afford it so I'll have to self medicate myself somehow. I understand why some people need drugs, it takes the pain away. Saving for my medical card, but I prefer Percocet. Thanks for letting me vent.

I know your pain I have my good days and my bad days a lot of my anxiety attacks I thought were heart attacks in the beginning because of the physical symptoms I was always having (heart pounding, dizzy, impending doom feeling, breathing difficulty) but after years of having them and talking to doctors and therapists I realize now when I have them they are just anxiety attacks but they can be very scary for sure if you don't know what it is in the beginning. I hate taking RX meds too so it's a double edge sword, I feel like I trade one problem for another when I take the pills the doctors give me and all the side effects that come with them. To be honest I have been using medical marijuana for the last few years and I feel it really helps me and doesn't have near as many bad side effects. I know it might sound crazy but look into it and try a sativa strain it really helps with mood, anxiety and depression. But use a low does if you never tried it before

Thanks, I've thought about trying to get my medical card. Just need to save enough money. I'm in AZ, it's not legal here yet only for medical reasons. That would probably help me get through each day, sometimes I just want to sleep and never wake up. If it wasn't for my kids I would not be here and sadly no one would care. Anxiety and depression really sucks..

Aww don't be so down on your self of course people would care and I'm sure you would be truly missed. AZ does have a great medical cannabis program and I'm 99% sure you would qualify. Cannabis has truly helped me with my anxiety and depression and I know it can help you here is a link to s great doctor in your area that could get you started in the right direction.
