Idk how other states work since pot is all legal here so things are easy to find but here you get cbd oil at pot shops but it just doesn't have the thc. Idek how people would know you have it if it isn't allowed for some reason tho I think it should be fine. Like the kind my mom gets is candy and it just looks and tastes like those sour belts. You'd never even know it's has cbd oil. There's the dropper kind that's a lil more obvious but even then like... It's just a dropper and looks like essential oils or something.

 

Hi! CBD semi-expert. You can order non-THC CBD oil from a lot of different websites. I like Lazarus Naturals, Sagely Naturals, and Wildflower. Oil is the best way to control your dosage if you want lower doses to start. I use capsules for high pain/high anxiety days and find that the 10mg capsules usually do the trick. One thing to note- “non-THC” usually means “less than .03 THC” and since it is fat solubile, it can build up in your system and cause you to fail drug tests.

I’m currently using a combo of Sagely’s relief+recovery pills (turmeric is good for IBS, so bonus help there!) and the regular potency Lazarus oil to manage physical and mental health symptoms. Weed and I do not get along (think mega paranoia and panic attacks) so CBD has been a serious game changer for me in managing my health. I’m happy to answer any questions about effects/purchasing/etc.

 

Someone I know says they use this. Is that about right?

 

I know that. You can buy it in any head shop. The card is for medical grade.

 

I would avoid ordering on amazon, tbh, since anyone can sell anything and there are definitely a lot of vendors selling “hemp oil” that contains nothing that will help you. Also tbh, that seems way to cheap to be effective- I would say the oil/capsules I use run around $40-$50 per bottle.

 

Ok, cool

 

the only reason I’m still alive right now is because all of the gun stores are closed on sundays

 

moving this here because it's more a being concerned for someone's mental health and continued existence than a dating thing.

I broke up with this person nearly a month ago and she tweeted a bunch of bleak things and disappeared. I texted her a week ago to see if she's ok and no response. The only active social media she has is Twitter and that went quiet right after that conversation :(

 

so I'm generally okay with the fact that I don't have IRL friends or a partner but seeing all the cute fun couples costumes and people doing clever Halloween costumes is bumming me out because that sounds fun and like pop culture puns are like the only thing I'm confident about doing well,even though the actual act of going to a party would make me anxious
I know it's healthy to have to deal with feelings being complicated and figuring out how I want to be part of the world even if it temporarily feels shitty
I also hate saying this stuff because then it feels like a pity party or me trying to get y'all to tell me you love me, which it totally is, jk kinda

 

You were the king of pop culture ln AP and are on here. Idk you very well, but you’re rad as hell. Random thought: what if chorus forum had a Halloween party via Skype?

 

I spend Halloweens watching movies by myself and hoping no one knocks on my door because just giving candy out makes me anxious.

 

this sounds great, can I come over? we don't even have to sit on the same couch

 

With the death of my sister and the world going to shit, I've had a hard time staying motivated with my job hunt. I'm working a tiny bit but it's hard not to be apathetic toward "finding a career" right now. I actually need to re-stock on CBD oil and get serious about taking it frequently.

 

And just want to send you my love @supernovagirl

 

Halloween is usually spent looking at people and celebrities' costumes for inspiration and dreaming about having or being invited to a party the next year... and it never happens so I relate. I just miss being around people in a social context on my own. Sending my love to both of you @supernovagirl @iCarly Rae Jepsen

 

Depression came back full force last night. Feel pretty useless and not good enough and running through all the potential terrible things that could happen at any moment really hurts

 

Thanks y’all. I’m in a bit better of a headspace now. But it’s mildly concerning how quickly and drastic these mood shifts are.

 

i have almost no irl friends anymore either lol. have a few that i hold dear but life keeps us from hanging much. i’d legit love to hang and do a show or something, gonna try to be making nyc visits more often this winter. our music Venn diagram has v little overlap but there’s some stuff there haha

what’s going on brother

 

I know what you mean. It's hard not to look at things in a negative light lately. Hope that feeling doesn't last for you but I'm here if you ever want to talk

 

I just live in a constant fear that something really bad is going to happen and run through shitty scenarios in my head more often than not. Like, I know they aren't even that realistic to happen but the even remote chance that it could is crippling at times.

I appreciate it. I feel like it comes in waves. This one has been harder than some of the other ones I've had recently so I'm just trying to pull through it somehow

 

@Joe4th I don’t really have advice and it would be hypocritical if I did since my mental health has been horrible, but keep hanging in there. You’re definitely not worthless. Our minds play awful tricks and tests on us but you’ll always come out stronger. I’m here any time you want to chat



to you all

 

I'm so exhausted all the time and it makes my anxiety worse because I can't do anything. Doctors are no help because they assume it's just bipolar depression and try to get me to talk to a counselor even though I already have one who agrees I'm not depressed due to bipolar? I think I am getting depressed but it's due to the limitations I have because of my illnesses, which are definitely the cause of my fatigue. I have no friends here because I rarely have energy to go out and do things and my friends back home can't visit until December. I just fucking hate this. I should be happy to be at a new school but my illnesses prevent me from being happy.

 

holy hell Zoloft is really bringing the heartburn

 

I know there's a bit of an age gap, but I feel like we're in similar boats. It sucks, I'm pretty much down to one friend IRL. The good news is that it's only bad when I think about it.

 

I put off buying a simple black and white striped shirt for too long and now I can't find one and anything I order online won't be here in time for when I need it, so I have the wrong color striped shirt to wear as a back up plan and I feel miserable about it because it was my own fault for not getting it in time. In hunting through my clothes I found some shirts that I used to wear a lot that just don't fit anymore and I'm trying to not let myself spiral into some big time self hatred, particularly with my girlfriend having a bad day, but it's really hard as fuck to keep positive right now.
