OMG what a night!

So I took CBD a couple of times throughout the day to lower my anxiety. Then at 9pm, right on schedule, I had a major anxiety attack.

I planned to stay up until midnight, so I took a Klonopin so I could cope with the high anxiety for a few hours.

The Klonopin did it's thing and I was able to get through the anxiety and was able to get to sleep after welcoming in the new year.

The night became crazy sometime around 5sm when I spontaneously got out of bed, intending to go somewhere. I was really dizzy so I laid down again.

I had these really intense dreams about my son wanting to harm me. I was half awake so I could think about my thoughts but they were really strong. I have not felt paranoia like that before. It passed eventually and by the time I got up, it had pretty much cleared but I still remember what it was like. It was really intense.

Obviously, the CBD and Klonopin had some kind of interaction. I'm ok now.
