I grew up in a yelling household.
- My father yelled all the time & he was mean.
He often screamed at me. My dad finally left when I was 15 years old. After that I went to a therapist to talk about my feelings. I did not open up to the therapist until I had been a patient for 3 months, plus when I did finally open up, I started taking an antidepressant. I was always anxious. I was stressed & sad. The antidepressant made me feel even more upset & sad. After taking it every afternoon for 3 weeks, I was filled with nerves & sadness. I felt way worse than I did before taking the pill. I stopped taking the medication. I did not want to take the medication anymore due to it being addictive as well. I suffered for a long time before I found medical marijuana. In college, I started using recreational marijuana with our buddies. I realized it could easily help our mental state, so I went to a doc to get a prescription. It did not cost much currency & the doc got myself and others a script for it. That script allowed myself and others to purchase products from the dispensary. I feel much more calm & relaxed after I smoke weed. My life is much better now that I have medical marijuana. I worry a lot less & I have less stress & anxiety every single afternoon. I like to smoke late at night right before I go to sleep. It calms myself and others down enough where I don’t have nightmares.
