I have been in the process of trying out Hidden Lake LLC full spectrum hemp extracts in exchange for my honest opinion! The two flavors that I have tried are Peppermint 600mg and Cinnamon 1200mg. As a first time user and someone completely new to this I was unsure at first as to how to use this. Hence the reason we should ALWAYS read directions! My first thoughts were that I put a few drops into my drink.... but no it doesnt work that way. For my first few days I used one dropper under my tongue, only because this is something I had never tried so I wanted to start low. I started with the Peppermint flavor and like I stated in my first impressions post the taste caught me off guard. It is an earthy taste with the hint of mint. I found that after a few doses I got used to that earthy taste and found myself tasting more of the peppermint (same with the cinnamon). Just to give everyone a little insight about me, I suffer from anxiety and mood swings. I wasn't always like this. I honestly cant believe I'm telling yall this because it's something I dont talk about with anyone but my husband and mom, but in order to give my full review about this then I have to be honest about myself also. The anxiety started in 2014 when I was pregnant for our 1st child and well it just got worse over the years. While pregnant and even to this day I have huge anxiety when leaving our home. In a vehichle.... well let's just say when I'm riding passenger I will stay on my phone just to occupy me because if I'm looking around at the heavy traffic I start to freak out. I was NOT like this before, I was a road runner, always on the go. When driving, I'm so tense and the anxiety is still there. So why am I telling you all this? Because Hidden Lake Extracts have allowed me to overcome my anxiety. Before this, I would not drive in the city (Baton Rouge) let along go without my husband being with me. This week alone I've been to the city 3 times and it didnt bother me. I was stuck in heavy traffic and my anxiety was not nearly what I'm used to. I was fine. I was content, I wasnt afraid. Most importantly I wasnt obsessing over "omg what if someone side swipes me or what if I dont get to see my family again". I dont know how or why Hidden Lake Extracts have helped me with this but it has in so many ways that I cant explain. It has almost given me my life back. I wouldnt dare drive my husbands truck but, last week I went bring it for an alignment. Yesterday I took my husbands grandmother out of the rehabilitation center to go have lunch. It's the little things like this I can do again without all of the anxiety and worry that I've had before! I am more calm, I am me again. Now to talk about something that's more embarrassing than the anxiety is my mood swings... aka bipolar. Yes I have it. Yes I've NEVER SPOKE OUT ABOUT IT. It is something I've struggled with for as long as I can remember. Over the last few weeks my emotions, or should I say outrages have almost completely dissapeared. I havent had any serious mood flips, emotional outbreaks, or anger issues. I've been beyond calm which is almost unbelievable for me because for so long I've battled with this. When I say mood swings I mean like you look at me the wrong way or tell me something I dont like then I would go from 0 to 180 quick. I could be in the best of mood and it would only take 1 little thing to flip me.... everyday, any day. After upping the dose to 2 drops daily I'm what I would call normal. I'm not bothered by the little things, I'm not flipping over a misunderstanding and I'm not emotional all the time. For some. You may think I'm crazy but for me the problems were real. Episodes like this would affect not only me but my husband as well. I'm very thankful for Hidden Lake because it has helped me to conquer these episodes. I'm not saying I may never have another mood swing again. I'm saying it has helped me to be more calm and not react like I was doing before. Therefore, my impressions of Hidden Lake extracts have helped me in ways I never thought I could be helped. I dont think I would have ever been open about this to any of you if I wouldnt have come across Hidden Lake. Between the anxiety and the mood swings my life was a battle of always needing to find balance. I've found my balance with Hidden Lake, I found my calmness, and my strength to say it's okay to not be 100% but to not deny what I deal with.
