What do you do to relax
I think at this point I need SOMETHINGin my life that isn’t time consuming because I have like ZERO time which I’m hoping after my orientation at my new job that changes. I literally have no patience, for anything, people driving, someone waking in the middle of the night, things taking too long, you name it and I feel awful for being that way and even worse I feel like my kids get the brunt of it and it’s not fair to them. I already take Zoloft so aside from more medication I’m not sure what else to do

I’m seriously considering these. The only reason I haven’t tried is because I’m not sure if they come up in a drug test

Re: What do you do to relax
The usual- read, sleep, watch garbage television. 
Nothing productive like go to the gym or clean the house.

Where do you get the gummies from? How do you know how many to eat?

You have to make sure they are 3rd party lab tested for THC and contain none. Also, you would probably have to know if the drug test tests for just THC in which case you are fine- or ALL cannabinoids.. because CBD is a cannaboid even though it contains no THC and is not psychotropic.

I order from Sunday Scaries. I take 2. they are 10 mg each.
You have to kind of play around to see what works best for you. You can take between 1 and 3.

Re: What do you do to relax
I read a book or a magazine, turn on some light music. I put earbuds in if I have to, DH can be loud and sometimes he just annoys the crap out of me.
No phone, no tablet, no TV.
They wind me up instead of relaxing me.

Exercise. I have no time, but I make sure to schedule it. Even if that means 4:15 wake up.

What do you do to relax
Meditation. Lately, I am using the meditation studio app (they also have good kids meditations) right before I go to bed. Exercise is the best stress reliever I have found- if I am short on time I do a quick workout or yoga at home. I have found scheduling time for exercise has really helped me make time for it.

Just an FYI, they will show up on a drug screen. Even though it has no drugs in it, it’s derived from the THC plant and no drug test can differentiate between the differences.
I called Sunday scaries about it bc I love them and thought my DH would benefit, but if he was ever randomly screened at work, he would be terminated.
ETA: I 100% agree with the Sunday scaries recommendation, they chill me out without feeling anything besides relaxed.

Exercise - running or cardio
Pilates helps sometimes if the instructor isn’t too boot campy

Re: What do you do to relax
I started taking CBD oil, and it sure works well. Takes the edge off. Took some getting used to as far as dosage is concerned. I would take too much, and get so relaxed, I'd be sleepy. I'd take too little and it would only work for a few hours.
Interestingly enough, I've noticed a trend in when I take it. Every morning, I start getting jittery & anxious, so I take some then. It happens to coincide with the time right after I drink my only cup of coffee. I may need to re-think the coffee.

I wish I could take these, so many people rave about them. I am desperate for something to chill me out- my anxiety is debilitating some days. But I am a teacher. If I was ever randomly drug tested (not that we have ever been drug tested at my school), not only would I lose my job, but quite possibly my entire career. Maybe I can try one at the very beginning of Christmas break.

Wow, that sucks. They really need to develop a drug test that differentiates between cbd and thc.
Cbd is becoming more and more researched and used for so many health issues....its not fair that people can't take advantage of a substance that might help their health, one that does NOT get you high even a little. Booze gets you way higher and yet that's fine.
So annoying

You know I think I remember reading that cbd does not stay in your system very long. Maybe research it to see if you could get away with it early in the break like you said. And there's always summer....

What do you do to relax
I wasn't drug screened there 2 years ago.
I have very little down time as well. I just keep telling myself that one day DD will will be old and not need me and I'll have all the time in the world. But until then, I run on empty.

Re: What do you do to relax
I usually just have a glass of wine.
I’m really curious about CDB. I can’t get the gummies here, but I can get the oil. What does it taste like? I gag at certain tastes. What do you feel like? Is it like Xanax?
I heard about from this one FB group I’m in.

The gummies taste just like gummy bears. Delicious. I never had the oil but i believe they flavor it...mint, chocolate, etc.
I would imagine if it is not flavored it might taste bitter.
You just feel calmer...no high. Just more relaxed. I find it slows my tboughts from racing in bed at night.
I never took Xanax, but I don't think the effect would be as strong as a prescription anxiety med. More subtle

I haven't tried one yet that tastes "good".. Kinda tastes like dirt. Even the chocolate mint one.

LOL, that's why I got the gummies. They taste just like candy.
there is a VERY slight bitter tinge left in my mouth afterwards but it's not even really noticable

The Elixinol CBD oil I have is flavored like citrus. I mix several drops with water. I'm ok with different flavors and never gag- while I don't think it's totally disgusting, it doesn't taste "good" either.

Mine comes with a dropper, and tastes like I ate a mint. It's goopy, like syrup. Quite tasty, actually.
Brand is Plus CBD Oil drops, and flavor is peppermint.
It relaxes me like how I feel after a good hot yoga class. Or after a nice long meditation. It sneaks up on me like, all of a sudden I wonder why I'm not yelling at the kids for doing something that I would normally yell at them for.
