Depression isn’t always dark rooms and crying endlessly. Sometimes it’s getting up, going to work and smiling and laughing all day and then coming home to quietly sit doing little to nothing until it’s time to go to bed and start the cycle over again
@EllyOnTheGo I can relate. My week has mostly been 3am dark thoughts and putting on a face. It's exhausting acting okay in the workplace. Read in comments that you take edibles. Weed is illegal in the UK, sadly. I smoked like a trooper at college, but I have to be a good boy now. I do find CBD and 5-HTP helps with the butterflies.
@Clavius_42 I went through a real rough beginning of the year. I had a mental breakdown that lasted a week. Marijuana should be legal everywhere! Unfortunately CBD doesn't do anything for me, it must be with THC. Mostly use it for sleep but have a few fun ones I like
@Clavius_42 I have Fanconi Anemia (bone marrow failure) and Chronic Kidney Disease. Being on dialysis is hard on the body. I sometimes get aches and itch a lot from dry skin. The gummies help me sleep and also relieve some of the side effects of dialysis
@EllyOnTheGo You are a warrior.
@Clavius_42 Aw, you are too!
@EllyOnTheGo I hope you're doing better and more brighter days ahead. I had a bit of a breakdown when I was diagnosed type 1 Diabetic. That's what kicked-off my anxiety and depression. Weed got me through the death of a dear friend in my early 20's. I agree: it should be legal everywhere!
