I deal with stress, memories, sleeping problems, mild anxiety and I can only drink small amounts of alcohol now- b-cuz 2 much will mess me up! I can have a few beers and that's it. Cannabis does help me relax and get better sleep! It also puts my mind in a calmer place
My PTSD is from many events that occurred in my youth....it is not one bad experience, it's many. I have a plethora of memories that I've had to deal with. Thankfully, I don't have many flashbacks and recalled memories anymore!
My psychiatric meds do keep me stable......so, I take them everyday!
