For the longest time, I was really ashamed that I was dealing with symptoms related to PTSD.
I thought that was only for people who had survived love combat or something. So I thought that I was just a loser who couldn’t cope. With the help of therapy & medical marijuana, I’m learning that there is far more to the trauma I experienced as a child than I was willing to acknowledge. Prior to treating with medical cannabis & doing our therapy work, I was relegated to the inside of our house. It got so awful that I had to have friends go to the grocery for me. I was just so not right, unhappy, scared & never slept. Had I continued love that, I would not be writing this for sure. There was just too much for me to handle. However, when I got through the medical marijuana rules, I found some really kind people out there to help me. Along with our therapist & group therapy members, I get real compassion & support from the folks at the legal weed shop. They are not only expert in finding the right cannabis products for our particular PTSD symptoms, they are superb people. And that really goes a long way. Going to the cannabis dispensary was 1 of the first outings I had made in over 2 years. Now that I’ve been treating with the cannabis flower products, I’ve easily gone to dinner with friends. And the endless nightmares are however a shadow of what they once were so I don’t fear sleeping any longer.
