I’ve suffered with anxiety since I was a kid, and things like CBT don’t seem to work for me at all. I know pills from the doctor are available, but I only want to go down that route as a last resort....
I take a prescribed medication for my anxiety, along with the support of talking to strangers about what my stresses are and that definitely helps.
I’ve used CBD for a 6mo period of time and I feel that it didn’t help the situation, but masked it during times when I would be exposed to my stressors. So if I used something throughout the week, that meant I’d have a breakdown/meltdown over the weekend where I could just eat a tub of junk food and binge watch a show. I really thought it was helping ke, but like any substance you develop a tolerance.
So I just stuck with weed, but eventually the same problem would come up where I was just masking it, but I was high and smiling all the time. Productivity kinda dropped but boy did reading become fun again.
I really hate pumping my body full of pills, and I’m not going to lie and say it’s not masking it either, but I feel like the mask is a constant while I work out my issues it a healthier way vs. just kinda sitting around in a fog.
What’s comical is that I’m finding out my cause for anxiety seems to be coming from what I think ADHD is? My inability to focus on projects and see them to completion is a HUGE stressor to me, making me anxious all the time. I think once I’m in a better headspace I’ll transition to looking into that deeper in hopes that my assumption is correct.

Has anyone here used CBD products for anxiety? Do they actually work or is it just a placebo?
