I only had two extreme breKdown last year i was arrested n taken to camh but when they asked me why i cut my hair off n tryed to kill myself n destroyed my house .. I told them it was simply bcuz i didnt smoke today n i believe thats why even yesterday i lost it to the point i walked into the police stn n begged them to lock me up n i relize i only go bazar n nuts when i dont smoke... hmmm 😣
Weed for the soul: I been depending on... - Anxiety and Depre...
Weed for the soul
then smoke.
It does help
I smoked weed for a few years would never leave the house without a spliff day or night.you might think in not smoking a joint makes you go insane but its probably and likely to be the opposite.maybe you should try cannabis oil and see how you go with that.i stopped just like that nine year ago and have never looked back.granted we are not the same so you should gradually cut down before you stop.
I agree 100% though with Kenster1....tapper off....but before you do, make sure you have some sort of support in place....therapist....group....
It sounds like your having a pretty rough time of it....and you may even want to do an inpatient for a while to get past this mania...I'm so sorry your going through this...nobody knows what it's like unless they walk in your shoes...no judgement from me....but I have to agree that it does not seem smoking is helping all that much if your in crisis.
Smoking seems to help in the short term but in the long term it certainly doesn't as you are finding out. You are obviously addicted to it and the best way to deal with this is to get help to get off it. It is causing a lot of your problems now.
Your using weed as a medication. I did also in my younger years. I would use it morning, noon and night, smoking a 1/4 a day. I quit what I was 23, 24 years ago. I learned after quitting that it was making my mental health much worse which sounds like your same issue. I relied on weed for everything, and for my first year off the drug I carried a bag with me every where I went “just in case” I went to NA every day for 3 years. Go to a rehab, in patient rehab to get off the drug, somewhere that you will feel safe. They will teach you life skills that are affective as the weed. It’s time to put it down, that old friend is making things worse for you, he is no longer helpful. It won’t be easy but it’s time for a major life change. It likely feels impossible to quit but it’s time to build a new life skill, that won’t let you down
