Here's what I learned about CBD and my situational anxiety [View all]
It works great on the every day anxiety I was experiencing. The impending feeling of doom and anxiety used to be my norm, as were the occasional melt downs. I have had only one or two actual anxiety attacks since I started taking it, about 18 months ago and the middle of the night 'brain spins' are pretty much a thing of the past.
BUT, it does nothing to ease my severe "white coat" anxiety - probably because there's a very legitimate psychological reason for it. So, I'm under medical advice to work on easing my worries and cut back on watching the news (not sure how serious she was about that). I've also been given a Rx for something to take when if I feel an attack coming on, and definitely to take before any medical appointments. I'm also going to start some counseling, next year, to see if I can get past the bad experiences I've had.
Interestingly, the provider I saw didn't discourage taking CBD or THC. She actually encouraged it, since I feel it is a benefit for 'everyday' life. She's actually a proponent of CBD.
