Weird timing.
I was just talking with my dd last night about how her anxiety was going. She said her current meds. doctor is pretty much telling her she's tried everything she can think of and needs to rely more on therapy(which she is also doing). She was also recommended another dr. who does CBT but the guy doesn't take insurance and he costs 300 buck an hour. WHO can afford that??
Anyways, back to the marijuana topic......I asked her when her anxiety started and she said her freshman yr. of college, when she started smoking marijuana. It gave her all the feelings of what she has now. This is probably a dumb question but I assume medical marijuana might be different than recreational?
I will ask her about it but she may be apprehensive only because she associates it with the beginning of all this.
I just hope eventually she finds the right combination of everything to help her cope because she has a hard time in public places, especially by herself; just going grocery shopping can send her through the roof.
Thank you
