Treadmill ... an hour a day. Build up to four miles in an hour and the anxiety will be a thing of the past.

wow, i never expected that kind of response! now i just need to get myself a treadmill

nevertheless, thanks for your input everybody! seems like the best for the job would be an indica (judging from the responses) but i wont know until i try

Yes exercise is GREAT for anxiety.
Very good suggestion. I prefer to get outside and walk but to each their own.

i would definetly agree with physical activity for stress and anxiety works better than drugs thats a simple fact. the body and mind respond positively immediately we are desinged for hard efforts in daily life. the human body is not desinged to be sedentary and being so causes humans many mental and physical problems. the problem for most is getting started. once you do its easy besides a good bongload is so much sweeter after some hard physical exertion. im a cyclist and race so i must ride 250 to 300 miles a week about 30 to 50 miles a day generally. if i cant get my training in i feel mentally and physicaly like crap and anxiety increases. also a well balanced diet and a high quality multi-v/fish oils(omega-3)/amino acids and various other supps are usefull for increasing general health and well being. they also help by fixing nutritional deficiencies. people with anxiety depression and other issues are ussually hormonally imbalanced high levels of stress hormones(cortisol)etc.. good diet and excersise will absolutely help

Yeah, I would definately agree on the excercise for stress. After working out for a week or so, I, personally, start to feel a lot better.

Sativa is perfect for anxiety, but everone is different. Jack Heror a pure sativa is very strong and good for panics and anxiety attack. Don't smoke more than 1 or 2 bowls

Hey everyone

I have had chronic stomach pains and a bunch of other symptoms for a couple of years now and I just got to the conclusion that I have severe anxiety.

does MJ really help anxiety? and what is the best strain for this purpose (to relax, but still be able to function throughout the rest of the day)?

As long as it's illegal, no strain can help my anxiety.

Hi.Mate i have lot stomach pains and i try many kinds.Try from sensi skunk or hash plant.But #1 pain killer is afghan kush 100% good doctor,I am smoking now 8 weeks Afghan kush and i cant say word.Morning i wake up very happy,No more dysemesia nothing no heartburn.Just go with Afghan kush.its work like hell.good luck my friend.

i got it to im a 3time vet im growing armageddon widow new strain should level out quick

Exercise works great, but for me it only helps for the next hour or two after words ....

It's also very difficult to get to a treadmill in the middle of a workday, when anxiety and stress hit me the hardest

why is everyone sayin not to go with a sativa for anxiety and depression? according to this doctor in california sativas are what you want for anxiety and depression.

for depression a sativa might work as they ussually give you more energy because of low c.b.d. 'daytime smoke' on the other hand if your issue is anxiety you dont want stimulating effects a strong indica is best because of there sedative abilities because of high levels of c.b.d. 'nighttime smoke'. be carefull listening to doctors there not always correct but people put total trust in them because they have the title doctor this is dangerous.

im not sayin your wrong but i been to phsychiatrists and therapists. many psychiatrists and many medications actually. it depends on who you are on what medications work and dont work. i have found weed to be my only help. i dont like the side effects of most of the medications i was taking. im also not living in a state that allows medical marijuana use. if i did live in these states i could find the correct type of strain that helps me and beable to give better advice.

from what my phsychiatrists have told me is if you take a medication that isnt the right one then its possible that it will do more harm then good. the best advice i can give is that only you will know what medication works and which ones dont. thats why doctors monitor these sort of things w/ their patients. really i dont think it will be easy to even find a specific strain. i would assume your not to familiar w/ buying this stuff on the streets because ppl will say shit like "its sour diesel" even though its not just so theycan make a $1. depending on how worried you are about your anxiety depends on whether or not you want to 1. move to a state w/ med use marijuana and get the correct medication 2. trust a street dealer 3. grow your own medication.

you can try researching yourself. like if you got a specific disorder in anxiety and/or depression that was diagnosed by a doctor just go online and find out what meds are usually prescribed for that specific thing. then find out if you need an increase in serotonin or dopamine. everyones different.

i would never even consider using most of these overprescribed medications anti anxiety/anti-depresents i was put on these as a kid they are very bad and make everything worse i wish i had never listened to the 'doctors' who prescribed these but i was young. i have seen these really change people in a negative way. they really kill creativity and other aspects of personality that makes someone unique. i have lost friends because of these drugs. i educate myself and make my own decisions based on experience i do not like pychiatrists or most doctors i feel they are arrogant and under educated on the subjects they are supposed to understand. besides cannabis(indicasw/ high c.b.d. ratio) i use natural compounds for mental well being such as amino acids minerals magnesium citrate etc..etc... and various herbs combined with a good diet and excercise i promise this is much more effective with no side effects or physical addiction. try going cold turkey off of pych meds and you will have big problems. i really find the western way of handling mental illness to be very sickening and i feel very bad for people who put there total trust in someone simply because they carry a title. i have personally experienced the prescribed drug way on myself and many others and the natural proper approach. i have not taken any pharmaceuticals for many years and any issues i had are much better controlled using the methods i mentioned.

Honestly, my true favorite for anxiety would have to be Blue Dream, man when I am sitting somewhere feeling my pulse race and have trouble getting air, I walk away take a few tokes off of some Blue Dream and calm myself back down, It is the best!

i ha

to agree ...being a veteran i deal with anxiety abit and i find that blue dream and also northern lights chill me out and put me in a very optomistic view..

I saw Hogs breath mentioned earlier. I second that. Hands down one of my top 3 favorite strains. will do the trick
