I always get so nervous when having my MC appointment, but it's never bad. In fact, it's always a positive experience. My clinic are just amazing, kind people.

Perhaps it's because it stills feels illegal, even though I'm TGA approved.

It helps so damn much with my CPTSD symptoms, especially reducing the frequency of night terrors/nightmares. I feel lucky that it works for me. I still have bad days, but chalk that up to the brain damage CPTSD does, but overall, much better than when I wasn't on this medication.

I put in a consult online on Wednesday which I'm a bit anxious about. I doubt they'll allow me because I haven't tried prescription anything though. Still waiting for them to get back to me "Your consult is complete. We're currently reviewing your responses. You will receive an email once your treatment plan has been created."

Sounds like Candor.

Nailed it. They got back to me tonight with questions which I've answered. I do hope my lack of trying pharmaceuticals doesn't hurt my chances.

What would be interesting is if I get it prescribed and then move to my parents place because dad is very anti-cannabis. I think I'd just have to have a firm talk with him about it being medicinal and prescribed.

You should mention this anxiety to your GP or psych so you can get even more MC
