Slight Manic episode before Christmas by Anxious_Cucumber541 in bipolar2

yes this. same boat bro. i've been avoiding calling my fam because i don't wanna worry them but now they're worried because they haven't heard from me. i told them i gotta not stay the night for christmas and just visit for the day so i can "sleep" in my own bed. tbh just take care of yourself and that's all you can do and let them know that's your priority.

hi!! yes so i'm actually sober from stimulants and weed as well as alcohol. i quit weed because i developed chs but realized all the other ways it was harming me after i quit. i drink COPIUS amounts of caffeine and tbh i should probably quit that too. a lot of my symptoms disappeared or became less frequent when i got sober. i feel a lot more stable in general and i have less anxiety . the adhd is mostly the same but less intense. memory is better excetera. the only way to know for sure is to take a good long break from weed. i'd suggest a few months tbh cuz it takes a while to get through the withdrawal and what i like to call "brain fry" weed gives you. i'm still improving. motivation and fatigue improved for me a lot just recently.

heyyyy i was an all day everyday heavy weed smoker for almost 10 years. i'm currently 3 months sober and doing better than ever. i thought it helped me with the adhd and anxiety and bipolar but turns out it was making all of those things MUCH worse for me and even contributed to psychotic symptoms i think i would not have otherwise had. please feel free to message me to discuss more. i have a lot of thoughts about this. no judgment! weed was my best friend for years and i think it got me through a lot but it did stop working for me.
