Cbd oil for anxiety?

Has anyone taken cbd oil for anxiety, and was it effective? I have terrible anxiety to the point I want to just turn my brain off permanently to make it stop thinking. It started right after my daughter was born, and my obgyn prescribed me Xanax, but after a little while he told me I should talk to a therapist, which I know I should, but thinking about talking to a stranger just gives me anxiety, and I want to just handle it on my own. I got a bottle of cbd oil, it has no thc, and I’m hoping it works
