CBD – My new daily favorite

9/19/2018

0 Comments

 
Lately my anxiety has been out of this world.  I work full time, run two side businesses on my own, own two homes, property manage multiple tenants, and do all the cleaning and yardwork at my house.  When I have free time, I was finding myself getting anxious and irritated rather than enjoying it.  A friend showed up late?  Instant anxiety about wasting my time.  Roommates never cleaning?  Anxiety for a week.  Not the kind of person I wanted to be.  When I was in college I had a doctor give me prescription pills to calm me down when my anxiety got the best of me, but that I stopped taking them after hearing about all the addictive traits and adverse effects these medicines can have.
I received two products from Every Day Optimal CBD and the timing could NOT have been better, as I found myself in a constant state of anxiety and sleeplessness that week.  The two products (CBD gummy bears, and CBD oil) are made from hemp and have loads of benefits, without the THC or the high you would get from marijuana, and because of this, CBD is legal in all 50 states.   I’ve been taking one gummy bear every morning so that I have a steady stream of CBD in my system to keep anxiety and irritations at bay.  Overall, I find myself a bit calmer throughout the day and less likely to get anxious or upset over something.  I have also been taking half a dropper to a full dropper of the CBD oil anytime I find myself getting a bit anxious or before I go to bed if I feel like my mind is racing and I won’t sleep well.  The oil has an instantaneous calming effect and I don’t think I can go anywhere without it.  Speaking of, we just had a hurricane evacuation here in Charleston and I spent 5 days in St. Petersburg Florida.  My CBD was in my top 5 items on my packing list!

Leave a comment below if you have any questions for me, but I wanted to share this review with all of you!  A natural solution to anxiety and insomnia is something I have been looking for for a long time, as I try to avoid prescription medicine at all costs!  

As a caution I also wanted to warn you about ordering from suppliers on Amazon, which is what I had intended to do before I found Every Day Optimal.  The “CBD oil” on amazon markets itself as CBD but in fact it is just hemp oil with no CBD in it.  It is important to find a supplier who makes clean, pure, and authentic products and I’m so happy I found one on my first try.  Every Day Optimal also offers CBD in pill form, gum, e-liquid, and more.  Next time I place an order I’m also going to order their pet version of CBD oil and give it to my psycho cat who keeps me up all night.  I’ll report back 😉
