SweetSue's Cannabis Oil Study Hall

Sounds like you've got plenty of time to experiment...
I went through a severe depression a few months ago that just completely shut down my body. I've never had issues with depression before. Based on my brain and body feelings, I didn't even hesitate to take the pills (that's how bad it got), even though I had always been against them. Is it good or bad, I don't know??? But I can tell you I couldn't function before and now I can. Don't brush off your doctor, they do want to help.
:goodluck:

Good advice. I do my best to keep my adversarial attitude about the medical professionals in check. They’re really only trying to help you heal in the way they’ve been trained.

Haha hilarious!! I like you're style Oldbear!
Thank you for your empathy. Unfortunately I'll be waiting until early December to have an in-lab sleep study done so that they can fine tune my CPAP. Then the wait for my machine begins. Curious if, after hearing that, your advice changes at all? Still wait to get the sleep sorted?

I’m pretty sure it’s just a matter of doing them at separate times. How close are you to the sleep study?

You and I ....you gotta get out of my head BobbyZ lol! It sounds like you and I have been living the same life in a lot of aspects...

I understand how debilitating depression can make us feel. I never had anything like this happen either, its all new for me and by the time I recognized what was going on, it was already taken hold of me and squeezing any happiness out of my life. I have so much to be grateful and thankful for and yet, my brain wont let me feel and show those emotions. I read Sues thread about optimism a couple years back, its what led me to this forum from a google search actually. I began practicing optimism, making that "muscle" stronger through constant exercising.
Somehow a cloud slowly crept in and my world turned black. I consumed more alcohol and cannabis than ever and I pushed friends away and shyed away from social engagements. Vacation in Maui for 12 days gave me a great chance to abstain and I took advantage of my short-lived clear headed state and started working on my health issues. Here I am!
 
@SweetSue I go back the first week of December. My wife has been telling me for years to get this done. Don't tell her I said this, but she was right. She knows she's right anyway, who am I kidding? :)
 
Your ECS monitors your hormonal dumps and therefore is responsible for your personality expression. Depression is a sign that the ECS is faltering under the weight of some stressor. Anything that can be done to strengthen the ECS will help pull you from depression by subtly shifting your brain chemistry.

I think it was particularly sweet of the universe to give you a shot of paradise to help yours along. Lol!

I would go ahead with the reset. You have enough time before cpap start.

I know! I feel like you're speaking for me also. Ha! I've found my doppelganger.:rofl:
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how to be a friend to my friends again... If they only grew cannabis like you guys, I'd probably have more to say to them.
:high-five::rollit:

SweetSue can you tell me what "optimism" thread Archiweedies is referring to?

Now only if I knew what the hell "ECS" is...:oops:
:thanks:

If they smoke they'd still be interested in hearing about your grows. At least that's how it is in my circle.

Oh, while I'm replying...

I am also mending a few bridges with friends that I couldnt reach out too even when I wanted too.

Edit: Yes that the thread, thanks Shed!

Someone is going to invent a timed-release vape that hooks up to a CPAP machine for indica vaping throughout the night...in case someone can't make capsules for long term sleep results!
 
I can get you somewhat down that road.

Cpap machines come with a mini tank for humidity management of the air you breath.

If you put some buds in there you can be breathing the terpenes.

I might as well do it with you. I need a day to look it over and mentally prepare my brain... But pick the day and I'll do it with you. We can compare results. I'm not trying to pressure you.

Yes! I’m finishing the thread this weekend and starting Monday!
 
@BobbyZ hey brother I had a good chance to start my fast today as I didnt wake and bake. I decided to go ahead and make this day 1. I'll be posting my experience in the thread:
6-Day Sensitization Protocol: Resetting The Tolerance Levels

If you would like my support you've got it! I will be there every minute for you BobbyZ. Feel free to post and start your reset along with me. We'd only be a day or so apart. :circle-of-love:
