I like to think of it like it’s my inner demon going…..

Mornin Frank!

Read a psych journal about a med student that had a friend with PTSD and they did a little transference experiment with his condition. They basically changed it to Tourettes with positive reinforcement, hypnosis, and quick meditation skills over the course of 6 months. Alleviated his anger pretty well and was hilarious! "pig fucker!!!!!"

So, breathe deep and come up with some "clever" linguistics!

One of the worst parts of this damn PTSD….. if I experience something even a little angering… I start shaking uncontrollably like a Parkinson’s patient….

I try hard not to get angry, but sometimes I lose it. I was reading that the HPA axis (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) gets triggered by anger or terror, pumping cortisol and adrenaline into your blood to prepare you to fight or flee. That could be useful if you come around a bend in the trail and there's a grizzly bear, but if it's triggered too often it's poisonous. It gets triggered constantly in kids who live with an abusive parent, as if they live in the same cave with the grizzly bear. I deal with kids from abusive families, so I got the book "The Deepest Well: Healing the effects of childhood adversity," which describes the dynamic, and the short and long term health effects. My HPA axis gets triggered even by action movies. I'm tryna be zen and stay calm. Ommmm. While you were gone I lost it bigtime when a 21 year-old threatened to shoot the kids I take to school (he was fighting with their mom). I actually went there with a piece of pipe, determined to at least break his legs, but he backed down and apologized. Since then he caught a felony gun charge. Ommmm

Good morning my friend I usually do fairly well as long as I’ve got a sufficient amount of cannabinoids in my system…. First thing in the morning can be a volatile time though….

That’s very interesting that they could change it….
I’ve tried so many things, nothing works, in a meaningful way. The VA checks the box that it’s treatment resistant, and that’s that.

I make a cbn rich rosin that’s decarbed for oral use….it’s a pretty good “rescue” medicine….and is great for the insomnia that’s associated…..

Literally, even masking the smell….

Maybe he can spray it with chemicals like they do in new york

I have the same issue…. Can’t watch a lot of movies or shows…. Even heavy music can get me there…..hence the reggae….

gets triggered constantly in kids who live with an abusive parent,

yes, now take into account that some of those kids are from literal war zones…. Multiple sources can exacerbate the problem exponentially. It’s my issue….very fucked up childhood, into a wartime military right afterwards…..

Zen really is the only thing I’ve found that even remotely works…. I’ve studied Zen Buddhism , Taoism, and and the works of several philosophers for going on ten years now. It’s done a fine job, but has its limits. You feel enlightened until you find yourself with being a real Pipe Hitter again…..

I mean, that’s what was being suggested (sort of) when I gave my two cents…

A little tip for those who make cobs. I cut the large buds down along the stem to the tip. At that point the bud is about the size of a golf ball and I cut into the middle. By doing this I’m able to achieve an even drying and preserve the trichomes. When I hit 75 to 80 RH I then cut them up for pressing.
