I have one pup that I rescued off the street and I board dogs for one of my jobs. I have noticed that my anxiety is managed better when I have more pups around me actually!
I would definitely prefer bourbon over the SSRIs that the doctors keep trying to push on me lol
I wish I could figure out the triggers. In the past, it was always situational and once that resolved, so did the anxiety. Now, yoga isn’t even helping. I just wake up and can have a panic attack before I even read the damn news. I researched marijuana prescriptions and I guess they don’t issue them for anxiety in texas but maybe the cbd oil would work?
The meds are definitely a no go for me too. Being a single mama, I can’t afford to risk my brain having the thoughts they caused, even if the doctors say it will eventually level out. They make my hands shake so bad I can’t even cook for my kids, and my eyes like, vibrate or something to the point that I can barely see! But you mentioned the music and I have noticed that I am always fine when I do deliveries and I wonder if that’s bc I’m in my car listening to music!
Doc, I don’t know anything about cbd but when I googled it, there are some that were specifically for anxiety. Do they use different strains of plant to create oils that target specific ailments or do they just label it like that?It is the CBD in Marijuana that has the calming effect. THC is what makes you high. CBD can be obtained quasi-legally most places. Technically it is still potentially a violation of Federal law depending on how it's made, but nobody is prosecuting people for that that I know of. The 2018 Farm Bill made it "legal" if extracted from the stalk of a marijuana plant, but then growing the marijuana plant is illegal.

Thanks texas! I’m going to try that sound with my yoga tonight. Honestly I would have thought the sound might trigger the anxiety but the more I listened right now, they calmer my breathing became. Very interesting. I’ve never heard of such a thing.
Lol. Thanks for your two cents, Paul. It was really helpful.oh dear oh dear, dosent sound like there will be many survivors on this forum post SHTF if the above thread is anything to go by.
