I Tried CBD Oil for my Anxiety for 6 Months- Here's What Happened
CBD oil for anxiety has recently become a popular way to relieve anxiety but is there any truth to it? As a person with anxiety disorders, I was very interested to find out for myself.
In this video, we'll go over what CBD is, how it differs from THC, what the research for CBD and anxiety looks like, and then we will test it out for 6 months. Finally, we will look at whether CBD actually alleviates anxiety (particularly mine), whether I recommend you try it, and if I'll continue to use it myself.
I've personally been seeing so many people online preach about the effects of CBD oil for anxiety, as well as other mental illnesses. I've also seen many of my friends use it as a means of treatment; often swearing by it as the only thing that helps them. So, I started off with some academic research on CBD and the results were surprisingly... not promising.
Nonetheless, I really wanted to give CBD a try due to all its hype, so I committed to trying CBD oil for 6 months to see if it would improve my anxiety, and here's what happened!

    As you experienced taking Magnesium for any sort of problematic anxiety will not make a jot of difference. Looking for a supplement, vitamins or changing your diet to overcome an anxiety problem is another symptom of anxiety it is just another manifestation of the problem. Sadly one that is exploited by supplement companies and people who should know better. Understand what problematic anxiety is, its a cognitive (thinking) disorder a mental health issue where you develop a disordered relationship with your thoughts and feelings when you experience the normal human anxiety response - you become scared and afraid of feeling anxiety itself, which then of course feeds it and makes it worse. Trying to get rid of it, or cure it will only make it worse and is completely unnecessary - learning that you do not need to be scared and if you let it be it will pass very quickly in its own because thats how we are built. If we see a tiger and feel anxious we can hide run, once we are away from the threat of the tiger anxiety goes down. However if we are afraid of our own bodies and thoughts we can’t ever get away from the threat because is us. So accepting and allowing the feelings, not trying to get rid of them, or push them away is the fix and anxiety will fade in the same way it does when we are away from the tiger. Our threat response goes down and our brains learn it is not a threat, just uncomfortable for a bit - its quite simple. However it flies in the face of all we would logically think to do, but with anxiety the paradox is doing the opposite is what works. Continually looking for something to fix you is how people can get stuck for years - there is nothing to fix, only the mistaken belief that there is.

    I'm really upset ! After 30 plus years of depression and severe anxiety, not a single doctor ever mentioned Magnesium! Moreover, I suffer from Fibromyalgia, which is quite often very intense and debilitating! I have been robbed of the best years of myself life, merely told about Anti depressant and anxiety medication with all of its side effects! Shame on these doctors who mereley acted like legal drug pushers and Surgeons, ignorant of so many important natural things!

      @mentalhealthmemo4190 3 роки тому

      I totally get your frustration! I think though that also a lot of these supplements have limited research on them and aren't regulated by any bodies which is why it's prob not ideal for medical professionals to prescribe these types of things unless they're 100% sure it's needed. Also from my own experience I've had many docs tell me that natural approaches to managing my anxiety aren't going to be effective because my anxiety is just too high (which is pretty much what happened with the magenisum for me). But everyone does respond differently to different types of treatment so perhaps a more natural route would be more ideal for you!! I hope you feel better soon <3 :)

      I hear you! "Not one single doctor EVER mentioned Magnesium!" At times, it seems they know nothing. I too, missed out on many years of good health because of seeking answers and NEVER getting any from the doctors. There are many of us that have gone thru what you've gone through. That's why we ourselves have to do the research on what's wrong with our health and what can we do about it. The doctors I've seen about my stomach problems only pushed pills that aggravated my condition even more. In addition to your taking Magnesium, research about taking Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2/Mk-7. Vitamin D3 is another vitamin that a LOT of people are very deficient in. One of the MANY things that Vitamin D3 helps with is skeletal and muscle pain. Research about taking Vitamin D3 in higher dosage to alleviate your pains. Dr. Berg is a good source and also Dr. John Campbell too. I, personally, take 15,000 IU's of Vitamin D3 per day, my MD doctor recommended this dosage because I have a problem with absorption. Also, I take (1) Vitamin K2/MK-7 90mcg with taking the Vitamin D3. This helps with absorption of the Vitamin D3.

    The medical industrial complex's failure to properly research and diagnose and treat microbiome and sleep and vital nutritional deficiency issues (including those related to Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2 and Magnesium deficiencies as well as iatrogenic prescription medication usage) is a major reason why psychiatric iatrogenesis is a primary contributor to the third leading cause of death in the U.S. (which is iatrogenesis in general). If the U.S. spent just a fraction of the over $40 billion each year it spends just on iatrogenic psychiatric drugs alone, for properly researching the issues discussed in this and related UA-cam presentations we would probably, Lord willing, achieve an absolute revolution in medical efficacy improvement and iatrogenesis reduction.
