Hey lovelies!
May is mental health awareness month, and it’s a topic I’ve leaned into a bit recently. I’ve struggled with anxiety and panic attacks for the last two years, and they’ve gotten so much worse lately with the mental health issues COVID-19 is causing for everyone.
Sharing My Story In Honor of Mental Health Awareness Month:
For the longest time I was really hesitant to seek help for my anxiety. I thought it would go away, and that I was just being dramatic.
I’ll even admit that I’ve always thought that therapists are just for the mentally ill, and normal people don’t need them. How wrong I was!
My mother insisted that I go speak to a therapist, and after a while I gave in and finally did. It was a game-changer!
In addition to having someone to talk through my anxiety and issues with, I also was prescribed anti-anxiety medication and antidepressants. I do take my antidepressants regularly, but I really struggle with the idea of taking anti-anxiety meds because I’m afraid to get used to it and potentially feed into that addiction trap that so many people fall into.
It’s a personal choice, but it also inspired me to look elsewhere for anxiety remedies that could help.
The answer? CBD!
How CBD Helps With My Personal Mental Health:
I’ve taken CBD products for about two months daily. My mental health and ability to function is so much better! Before, I couldn’t eat by myself or even hang out alone for a long period of time – I always needed someone nearby. Now I feel so much calmer and in control.
My favorite CBD products come from Sugar and Kush!
This CBD company is founded by women and offers incredible high-quality products with fun flavors. Not only can you get traditional CBD oil from them, they also make gummies, bath bombs, body scrubs and cookies!
The cotton candy CBD oil is my favorite – it’s easy to take by itself and tastes delicious! If you’re in the mood for a sweet treat, you can use any of the CBD oil flavors (like Vanilla, hazelnut or unflavored) in the recipes on their website.
Apple pie, chocolate gelato and brownies with a side of relaxation? Yes please!
