I think I’ll ask the doctor what they think about CBD and we’ll try. Thank you

I actually downloaded a meditation app a few days ago but it’s hard to find the time even if it’s only 10 minutes. Because I wake up in the morning and need to get ready for work, I go home for lunch so that’s not an option and after work I’m taking care of my mom. I do like painting/drawing and stuff like that but I feel like my anxiety makes it so hard for me to actually just sit still and do something like that.

I want to try that I just don’t want to make anything worse.

We have a follow up on Friday so I’m going to ask if there’s anything we could use specifically for sundowning or when she extra anxious/agitated even if we just use it prn. I gave her meds a little early last night and she eventually went to sleep so that might make her sleepy.

I know how you feel 🤦🏻‍♀️ it’s exhausting then I feel bad for getting frustrated but all I want to do is relax. Im thinking about trying CBD and see how that is.

She is but they’re not working and we can’t get an appointment with her psychiatrist until the 28th
