My Anxiety Struggles
I’ve always struggled with some form of anxiety. From social anxiety to generalized anxiety, I’ve learned to manage this more and more with age, skipping prescribed medication and using CBD products has helped reduce it especially around work stress.
In addition to CBD, I also exercise, take daily walks and try to write out what’s bothering me when I find anxiety creep up, and I find this is a great balance that helps me feel much more calm and at ease everyday, but back to CBD–here’s more about CBD and my somewhat daily CBD routine!
What is CBD?
CBD is a compound found in the cannabis plant and an acronym for cannabidoil, not to be confused with THC which gets you high! People use CBD to alleviate anxiety, help with sleep, and reduce pain.
A couple things to note: No, this product will not get you high, you’ll just get relaxed (no matter how much you take.) And it’s important to find a high quality product and I use two brands that I highly recommend: Above the Roots for virtually all CBD products and Equilibria for their soft gels.
My CBD Routine
I use a couple products to help with stress induced anxiety including a daily soft gel (which I haven’t been taking daily but during stressful periods of work this is great to take in the morning.) I also use CBD oil at night if I feel overwhelmed with thoughts and ideas and know I’ll struggle to fall asleep.
I just started using Above the Roots CBD oil which they gifted me and take 25 MG before bed when I can’t calm my brain. I have it in the mint flavor and it’s a little bitter, but no CBD oil tastes great but it’s important to mention! The oil helps my migraines too and I heavily rely on this CBD oil to help minimize the pain.
I also have the Above the Roots gummies and absolutely love these. They taste delicious and instantly relax me. They’re 25 MG and I usually just eat half at a time in the evening.
I recommend starting with a low dosage and work your way up as needed which is why I started only eating half a gummy and 25 MG of oil which seems to work well for me!
If you’re looking to try CBD out, I recommend starting with Above the Roots. They gave me a 25% off code to share with readers which is ANDREAK25. If you have questions about CBD, feel free to shoot me an email too!
