I don't, but I've been looking into it quite a bit. Is it something that works for you?

cannabis has helped me so much! it helps me calm down and slow down enough to think clearly and make rational decisions. it also helps with my nausea!!

I used cannabis for awhile and it was helping 100% with my anxiety. I felt great. If you can go that route I recommend trying it. I know everyone is different and it may not work for you as well as it worked for me. Unfortunately I had to stop because it was going to affect my school — they drug test! So I am trying anxiety medication again.

I use a cannabinoid, and it soothes a lot of my symptoms of BPD. I’m much more relaxed and slows down my thoughts and I’ve noticed I get a lot less hostile

I do, although I feel like I’ve developed a habit of smoking more than I should over the past year or so which in turn makes me feel a bit of guilt/shame sometimes.

I was prescribed Klonopin, but I got addicted to it, so now I have to use it very carefully
