I had a similar day today. I managed to get some of the most critical things done but put off everything I possibly could until tomorrow. I told my team I needed to leave early today to go run an errand across town (I’m local right now) and left early and went to the gym, which helps me sometimes when I need to clear my mind and boost my dopamine and serotonin to reset me for the next day. Now I’m going to bed early.

Can anyone share their experience with edibles or tinctures of marijuana? Between the anxiety and worsening migraines, I'm considering registering for a medical marijuana card.
