What’s everyone’s thoughts and experiences with cbd oil? I’m thinking about trying it to relieve some anxiety and help calm me down.

Hey T123. You sound like you've been having a rough couple of days. I feel your pain. I myself have been riding a storm. Unfortunately I don't know anything about CBD oils. What I do know is there not much in home remedies that can offer instant relief. Anxiety and panic is an issue of the mind that translates to uncomfortable symptoms with the body.

Everything works differently for people from one to the next. You can try the CBD oil. The worst that can happen is you'll just be right back where you started. As sufferers we all know the way to kick anxiety and panic is to except it, allow it and it'll pass. You're teaching your brain that these feelings and thoughts are harmless and then it learns and eventually let's go of it's grip.

Yes it's all easier said than done. Otherwise we'd all be cured tomorrow. I feel your frustrations. We'd all like instant relief, but it's only temporary though. We as sufferers need to seek long term solutions. Only then we break the habit. Quick fixes is only a bandaid that'll eventually come off. Then you're searching for the next quick fix.

I should probably follow my own advice also when I say sometimes you have to let it run it's course no matter how horrible it feels. Trust me I know and it's scary. Check out my profile and posts. I'm sure you'll come across something you can relate to.

Truth be told the solution isn't to be strong and fight it but more so to be smart and vulnerable and allow it to run it's course. I know it sucks. I myself also feel like I'm going to loose it.

I heard it’s really good but my insurance won’t cover it.

Try it ..... might take the edge off it. I prefer 'natural' treatment as opposed to heavy-handed prescription drugs.

It’s really different for everyone but tbh I think it’s worth a try! There aren’t side effects (unless you’re allergic, I guess?) so there isn’t anything to lose

I use it and even though it doesn’t help my anxiety, it helps me sleep better (my sleep sucks due to anxiety) and helps chronic pain. But I’ve heard a lot of people say it helped their anxiety

Also, make sure you’re getting it from a legit place so you know what all is in it. There are different types too so it’s good to research some

I've tried it and it did help some, especially for sleeping. Unfortunately, I have glaucoma and found out that CBD increases eye pressure and is bad for glaucoma. I live in the U.S and in my state it is legal and easily available. I had found a tincture of CBD and calming herbs that I liked that was specifically for anxiety/sleep.
