Anxiety after past synthetic cannabis use - will medication help?

Hi everyone, I'm Freda. I've been struggling with anxiety and sleep issues for a while now, and I'm wondering if medication might help. I'm really hesitant about taking meds, but my symptoms seem to be getting worse. I'm experiencing dissociation, questioning if I'm awake or dreaming, and having trouble sleeping. My therapist has been recommending medication, but I've been putting it off hoping things would improve on their own. A bit of background - about 14 years ago when I was 19, I smoked synthetic cannabis (spice) and had a terrible panic attack. That triggered some anxiety issues, but I managed to cope for years. Then in May 2025, I had another major panic attack and my anxiety has been much worse ever since. I'm curious if anyone has experience with anxiety medication helping after synthetic cannabis use in the past? I'm scared to try meds but also desperate for some relief. Any insights would be really appreciated!

Sublingual Anxiety Medication Experience

Hi everyone, I recently started taking sublingual clonazepam for anxiety and I'm curious about others' experiences. How quickly does it work for you? Do you find it more effective than regular tablets? Any tips for getting the most benefit? I'm still adjusting to this new form and would love to hear from others using it. Thanks in advance for sharing!

Home workouts can be isolating - how do you stay motivated?

As a busy mom in my 40s, I've found that working out at home is so much more convenient than going to a gym. I have a treadmill, some resistance bands, and dumbbells in my basement that I use 3-4 times a week. It saves time and money, but I'm starting to feel a bit isolated in my fitness journey. My husband and teenage kids aren't really into exercise, even though I've tried to get them involved. We eat pretty healthy as a family - lots of veggies, lean proteins, and not much junk food. But I'm the only one who works out regularly. I'm curious how others deal with the solitary nature of home workouts. Do you ever feel unmotivated without the social aspect of a gym? I'm committed to staying fit as I get older, especially to keep up with my active granddaughter. But some days it's hard to get started without any external accountability. Any tips for staying motivated when working out alone at home? I'd love to hear how others handle this! At 47, I know it's so important to keep moving and building strength. But the lack of community can be challenging sometimes.
