Therapy and Changes: Already?!
You guys, I feel so much better lately. I can’t even really put it into words. I’ve been going to therapy [frequently] now for a little more than a month and have started using CBD oil (medical grade, no THC).
My dad says I sound like a different person over the phone, and for the first time in a long time, I’m starting to feel like myself again. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still having bouts of it all, but it’s so much better so much more often.
Some changes:
- I’m sleeping. Now, if I don’t get enough sleep, it’s usually my own fault (i.e., “just one more video”).
- I can concentrate better on things.
- When I go to bed, I’m not thinking about the horrible things I was before.
- I’m starting to have emotions other than just miserable and angry. This one’s taking a little getting used to, and I think it’ll start evening out a bit. Right now, it’s a bit crazy–I teared up a little (not obviously) at work the other day because of something I got to be involved in that made me happy. I’m sure you all have heard about/read the joke that says something like, “I saw a man so beautiful I started crying”? That…may or may not have occurred and may or may not have caused me to laugh about it for days. It’s not really a roller coaster of emotions, it’s more like I have them now and don’t know what to do with them, which I’m actually really getting a kick out of/finding hilarious.
- I HAVE ENERGY. What is this?! I haven’t had energy since I was a teenager!
- I don’t feel so disconnected from everything and everyone. I don’t feel like it’s an effort to be nice anymore. In fact, I’ve been borderline word-vomiting compliments to random people, which is almost as hilarious as the newfound emotions.
- I’d hit a frustrating plateau in my weight loss and had kind of started picking up on some bad habits. Now that my body is actually getting rest (and probably because of the CBD, too), I kind of still have some of those bad habits but am losing weight again.
- I’m getting much better at dealing with some of my worst/darkest anxiety issues.
- I feel a little more prepared to deal with things I know I’m going to have to.
- I’m just not sweating things as much as I did.
- I’m actually retaining information. Up until this point, I had no idea how I was doing well in my classes and looking back I understand it even less.
- I go do more things. I have friends staying with me this weekend and we have a lot of fun plans. Next week, I have Halloween plans.
I’m really excited. I don’t feel that constant heaviness, exhaustion, frustration, and hopelessness I did before. I do still have depression–it’s not yet in remission. But the improvement feels so extreme when you go from severe to wherever I’m at now. There were entirely too many days I couldn’t even get out of bed. The only reason I did most were out of sheer obligation and because bills need to be paid. My eating habits were one extreme or the other and completely out of control. I just felt like I was existing and nothing more. I was miserable and irritable and there was really no in-between save for the necessary professional way of conducting myself. At my worst–and this is hard to admit, because I’d always controlled it fairly well before–I was lashing out at people who really didn’t deserve it along with those that did (though I could’ve handled it better). It was the weirdest thing–even when I was lashing out, I still didn’t really feel anything, and I think that’s because I’d just grown so accustomed to living in that very unhealthy mental state. I was in a place that really scared me.
I hated myself. I was disappointed in myself in every way imaginable. I pretty much had thought that the person I was when I was in my late teens (my happiest time) was gone forever.
Now, I can look inward and say, “Oh, there she is!”
I’m overwhelmed in all honesty, but it’s finally starting to be in such a good way.
I still have my days/parts of the week where it kind of comes back, but even if I can keep it as at bay as it currently is, I can absolutely and happily live with this. I’m so incredibly grateful for the way things are right now.
I also want to go back and kick myself for not taking care of it sooner.
*Note: I was a little hesitant about mentioning the CBD and I’m in no way promoting it as the solution or fix for everyone. I also know I have a lot of teenagers who follow me, and I really want to make clear that this isn’t something I just went out and got because I was feeling down or anxious. This is THC-free, which means it doesn’t contain the psychoactive component in marijuana. You have to be very careful and make sure that if your doctor or therapist recommends it to you that you buy it from a reputable place. I got mine from a doctor who was able to tell me everything about the product, extraction methods, etc. It’s clean. You can get into serious trouble (job loss, caught in school drug testings, etc.) if what you’re taking isn’t.

CBD Oil in the Healthcare Industry
CBD initially received national acknowledgment in 2013, when CNN included a docudrama about Charlotte Figi, a little woman with a severe instance of Dravet disorder. When Charlotte was 5 years old, she was experiencing virtually 300 seizures a week and no therapies appeared to aid control her seizures. Definitely devastated, her household desperately looked for a choice to standard therapies. Using cannabis to deal with a child's epilepsy was very debatable at the time, however when Charlotte began taking drawn out CBD hemp oil, her seizures miraculously began to cease. The entire globe took notice of this incident, and research began for the possible clinical CBD advantages. Several research studies have produced favorable outcomes, which has made the demand for the supplement skyrocket.
CBD as well as other chemicals from marijuana show appealing cancer-fighting residential properties. Although THC has comparable cancer-fighting effects, its usage in high doses causes way too many psychedelic adverse effects.
Our body immune system has sensing units for the cannabinoids our very own body generates, along with for those we absorb. This interior cannabinoid system can come to be unbalanced in autoimmune illness and swelling, which was something scientists had no idea a couple decades ago.
While the psychedelic THC in marijuana appears to activate psychotic episodes, particularly in those with schizophrenia, CBD has opposite, antipsychotic impacts. A growing number of studies are indicating CBD as an all-natural choice to antipsychotic medications, but with much fewer negative effects.
