PTSD caused me to feel suicidal, however marijuana helped
I went through a legitimately taxing childhood and I saw a lot of domestic violence that made me afraid and scared of everything, and as an adult it has been taxing to let go of that domestic violence, i didn’t even realize that I was an abuse survivor until I met with a therapist to discuss PTSD symptoms and anxiety, however the therapist told me that it was perfectly normal to feel like that and it made me feel much better.
- The therapist also suggested some homeopathic remedies that might be able to help; One of those things was medical and recreational marijuana, medical and recreational marijuana are legal in the state where I live.
Since 2016, residents in the state have been legally allowed to purchase medical and recreational marijuana products. I did not know that marijuana could help me however I was willing to try anything if it would make me feel less suicidal. I absolutely didn’t feel like anything was going to help. Medical and recreational marijuana has worked wonders. I smoke in the afternoon and I smoke marijuana in the afternoon. I only smoke enough to calm down my nerves… When my nerves are calm, so am i. My nerves are overactive due to the domestic abuse. One afternoon I might be able to stand down and really talk about all of the things that happened to me when I was a kid. I am actually hopeful that the therapist will continue to work with me. Medical marijuana and lots of therapy can really help with the symptoms of ptsd.
