She usually takes another few drops of CBD at lunch as well as again a few moments before the end of her shift
I feel just awful that my wife works in healthcare, especially during a stressful pandemic that doesn’t seem like it’s ever going to stop. Two years back she was already leaving the current home every day stressed out for the day ahead of her, but this last year has been a living nightmare for her each time she dresses and heads to the hospital. She wears a full face shield over several different masks laid overtop 1 another. One is an N-95 mask with an exhalation valve, as well as on top of that she puts a normal surgical mask. The exhalation valve stops her glasses from fogging up, but the surgical mask filters anything that she could be exhaling herself without noticing it. Some don’t realize that those exhalation valves only protect the person wearing the mask, even though I was 1 of those people until my wife explained it to me. Aside from what she has to put on, she is also taking pills for her mental health. She takes an antidepressant SSRI every day, in addition to a strong CBD tincture that she puts in her mouth. By the time she gets to the enter sign at the hospital, her CBD tincture as well as her SSRI have both fully kicked in. The SSRI keeps her mind peaceful for minutes at a time while the CBD tinctures are good for breakthrough anxiety. She usually takes another few drops of CBD at lunch as well as again a few moments before the end of her shift. Without these CBD tinctures, she would be a lot more worried everyday at her job in the hospital. I cannot imagine the stress of being in such a high risk work environment.
