Living with PTSD

in #cannabis6 years ago (edited)

Hey guys its Gingy,

today I'm going to talk about a subject that is hard to talk about because its something I don't like to admit. I have PTSD, how I got it was from my time in the army yes I'm a veteran and I served a tour in Iraq. I don't like talking about it much. Living with it has made my life completely different. I find I can't handle big crowds of people. I'm always looking over my shoulder and feel that I can't trust anyone. I have found that there are days I can't leave my house because of my anxiety I am constantly going to look out the window just to see what every little sound I hear is.

Some days I feel like I've gone crazy because I can't leave. Living with this is the worst and I support any effort to cure it. The thing that helps with it is medical cannabis. when I smoke I am able to leave the house. It allows me to go play Pokemon go with my family. After I smoke I feel relaxed and happy. I am able to reconnect with my family and friends I push away when I have an episode. A lot of things trigger it I find. I hope we find a cure soon.PSX_20170204_105532.jpg
