I’d enjoy to think I don’t have PTSD after serving in the marines, however what I think iis that I have a touch of anxiety, then loud pops and booms freak me out, i get all anxious, tense, sweaty and sick like.
I get a little scared too… So needless to say Fourth of June and New Years are really difficult days for me.
I have tried to get away from the fireworks however they seem to travel with me. I used to wear noise canceling headphones during the day and earplugs at night! That got to be aggravating. Now 2 times a year I go to the recreational cannabis dispensary near me. I get a few CBD products to mellow me out. What is nice is that I don’t have to smoke cannabis either. I also don’t need to be super high and lose out on a workout. I get CBD infused edibles that are technically just an oil. I put the oil in our day cup of pop and a cup of soda at night. I then have quite a bit of CBD flowing through our system. I then combine that with soundproofing our home as best I can and playing our sound equipment at night. It isn’t a perfect setup, however it is much better than before. I unquestionably can relax and not jump every numerous minutes. What is good is that they have pet CBD products too, then my pet was always in the same boat as me. Now we both partake in a bit of cannabis to chill out during the holidays.
