My short experience thus far has caused me to get off the CBD wagon, for now.

Figuring out what different ppl mean by “being relaxed” is so interesting. How did you expect to feel? Was the anxiety seemingly linked with body pain? Or is it “monkey-mind” anxiety and you’re working yourself up?

My anxiety was created by having low level chronic body pain that made me feel like a frail eighty year old. I was exhausted and my arms and legs were like lead. I thought it was severe depression.

The CBD relieved that pain for me and I was shocked bc I thought I was trying to treat anxiety that was psychological/emotional, not anxiety that was coming from physical pain.

Of course, everybody has different experiences, and this is only my experience. It doesn’t erase monkey mind for me, but it helps with body pain that, once treated, relieves the anxiety I have as a by-product of pain, muscle tension & inflammation.
