My name is CannaVet, and I receive TDIU but am rated naturally at 70%. I was banned from the main veteran subreddit years ago for showing disdain for fascist policies and hope to build a more equitable community here accepting of all flavors of vet.

That’s why we’re here mate. Welcome! I’m sorry you’re having such a rough go of it, I understand how medical issues can make it hard to see a reason to go on.
I know it seems like an overplayed suggestion but have you tried cannabis and/or mushrooms? Cannabis is 100% medicinal without side effects for alot of my mood bullshit, and one good mushroom trip years ago sliced my anger issues in half to this day.
I believe in you, buddy! :)
Thanks! I’m still here and it’s a struggle but somehow I keep pushing. Therapy has been the biggest help. And my wonderful girlfriend who has done so much to take care of me. I live in a cannabis legal state but I’ve just never enjoyed it myself. Makes me feel paranoid and not in control. Which is so weird because I used to self medicate with alcohol and that actually made me out of control lol. Unfortunately I’m super limited on what I can have nowadays in prep for the bariatric surgery.
Oooooh shit I’m about to blow your mind dude…
I am 100% the same way with weed. Loved it as a kid, even 5 years ago… nowadays I don’t want all that anxiety / panic shit. So, I stumbled upon what’s called "type 2 trees " over on spez’s piggybank*.
There are a few growers who ONLY grow mixed ratio flower. Like 1:1 or 3:1 CBD:THC and it is absolutely phenomenal. Plus, get this, it’s all covered under the 2018 farm bill, and you can get it shipped by the USPS legally!!
I’m dying to find a type 2 trees clone over here and I might just start one myself. .
If you are interested, hit me up I can answer any questions you have about it. It’s truly medicinal in every aspect compared to these super strong 28% THC claiming the same thing.
Oh that is interesting. I’ll look into it. I’ve tried CBD but it makes me feel weird too. I’ll probably wait until after this surgery because it’s gonna change a ton about my nutrition and stuff, but I’ll definitely look into it. Thanks a lot!
What kind of CBD did you try? Full spectrum can get some people stoned but the broad spectrum and isolates/ extracts don’t.
Gosh, I don’t know. It was a few years ago and just some gummies my wife at the time bought, ha.
