The stigma needs to end.
Marijuana is something that has been weighing on my heart for awhile now, and I feel like I need to talk about it. Mental health has its own stigma attached to it, and many people are starting to share their stories about how they have overcome their journey.I think it’s beautiful to share your experiences because you just never know when it might help someone else.
But I have learned so much about myself, and I have learned that no matter how I try to portray myself to other people, I am the one that has to sleep with myself at night and listen to my thoughts, and battle my insecurities, and hide my feelings.That’s why I write so much about my life and experiences. Not because I feel like Iin itself has a major stigma against it.
Before I realized the medicinal benefits of marijuana, I never would have been caught smoking it or even in the same room with it. I was so afraid of what other people thought that I didn’t want to use it. I was so consumed with prescription medications at that time already that I was desperate for something that would actually work.I realized how much relief I could get from a plant. How quickly I could get the relief, and how there are strains that are specific to my ailments.
That’s what’s wrong with people not talking about it! Pot has affected my growth, whether I want to admit it or not. Granted there are amazing doctors out there, and there are medications and treatments out there that help others tremendously. I recognize that, and I do not discredit their role in helping people.I can guarantee you I would take several naps a day. I would forget what time it is several times a day. There is a possibility I would forget about changing my kid’s diaper. I’d ignore the mess that’s made every day as I wouldn’t have the mental or physical energy to deal with it.
I get to have a chance to get through my mornings without thinking I need to go to the ER. I’m able to eat lunch with my kids . Able to cook and clean and leave my house for appointments without feeling overburdened. And my PTSD and constant anxiety have been so much easier to manage.
