I spent a good portion of my twenties languishing with my mental health. I was affected by some very traumatic events and it developed a pattern of PTSD with my thought process and behavioral tendencies. I had to seek out therapy on a number of occasions. It was a slow process and there weren’t easy solutions to anything. A lot of it was getting to a point where I could learn to cope with having these problems and accepting them. You have to move past the point of wanting a fix or a solution and instead moving to a point where you have a better State of mind in a better attitude regarding it all. And hopefully as you learn to understand the issues more you also learn coping mechanisms to one degree or another. These coping mechanisms are essential for your survival with these mental health problems. There’s also other ways in which you can get help for these mental health issues. A lot of people choose pharmaceutical medications and at times I did as well. However over the last few years I’ve largely switched to using cannabis to treat my PTSD instead of other medications. I view cannabis as just one medication among many. You decide to use it instead of something else, but it doesn’t mean you’re not taking a drug. However regardless of this cannabis has had an amazing effect on my mental health and my overall outlook on life. I feel like my problems are the best they’ve been since I developed them and I feel like I have cannabis to largely thank for that.
