I have struggled with mental health issues all of my life.
Sometimes it makes me feel absolutely crazy.
When I was younger, I dealt with mental health problems by cutting and using illicit drugs. I drank all of the time. I didn’t know how to deal with the pain. I was feeling, so I decided to cover it up with alcohol and illegal drugs. When I finally decided to get clean, the doctor at the rehab clinic suggested using medical marijuana. The guy also suggested going to a therapist every day, but I didn’t think that was a very good idea. I agreed to see a therapist weekly if the doctor would give me a prescription for medical marijuana. Marijuana has probably changed my life. Smoking marijuana makes me feel more calm and less crazy. When I hear bad thoughts in my head, I quiet them down with a small amount of medical marijuana. I used to find other ways to quiet down the voices and those ways were harmful. Medical marijuana has given me a whole new outlook and a way to deal with my anxiety in a much more positive manner. I’m also seeing the therapist regularly and that is going to help me deal with these problems once and for all. I grew up in a home with a lot of bad stuff going on. It’s not a surprise that I have mental health issues but I’m going to do everything I can to live a productive and healthy lifestyle. That is the one way that I can win.
