PTSD makes me feel like I am trapped inside of my head
Post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms can vary from one person to the next! The symptoms May begin as abruptly as the event takes locale & it may take years & years for a person to develop post-traumatic stress disorder; A traumatic event happened to me when I was younger & it caused me to change my thinking, it made me feel hopeless & kept me from maintaining close relationships with my family & friends.
- I felt emotionally numb & I found it hard to experience any positive emotions… PTSD was dragging me down.
I started therapy with a lady at the mental health center & my friend and I made a lot of progress absolutely abruptly. I was willing to do the work & I met with the therapist three times every week. I learned a lot of up-to-date coping skills & I also got a prescription for medical marijuana… When I feel nervousness & anxiety, I can use medical marijuana to help me feel better. I usually have a marijuana vape pen on my person at all times. When I get into a situation where I feel like I am going to have a panic attack, I take a few puffs from the marijuana vape pen. The feeling of relief is almost instantly. It only takes about a minute for the effects to hit me & after two or three puffs, I always feel better. Therapy gave by the state & free medical marijuana have helped me deal with the troubles in my past & every day I am starting to feel better & more alive.
