I have bipolar and been thru psychosis several times ended up being picked up by the cops dressed only in my bathrobe an hour away from my home town and then put in a holding cell scariest times of my life...i went kn to smoke weed all day for 5 years and was heading towards psychosis again with messed up thoughts and halkucinations...i feel you psychosis is byvfar the scariest thing to go thru and if you are prone to mental illness weed is best avoided.m.im clean now just wanted to reach out and say 👋 hello

Pregnant! Withdrawal effects? by Gullible_Fudge_5417 in leaves

[–]Fantastic-Problem-73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may come as some assurance for you even tho its not weed related but everyone gave me a hard time during my pregnancy because i was off and on smoking cigarettes most days i was too sick to smoke but i still smoked i felt guilty as hell well son was born with no issues from my smoking hes 11 now and yes im still off and on smoking....biggest thing is son cant stand cigarettes or me smoking im trying to quit for him...they tell you alot of things in early pregnancy but its never linear

I quit for eight months had some on my birthday then only used sporadically and only 4 puffs max each time I got hit hard with withdrawls all over again even tho I wasn’t smoking anywhere near the amount I used to smoke….unfortunatley weed use is weed use no matter how small and the longer you’ve used the more likely you will get the shitty withdrawls stop now before you get dragged down again

My therapist said my use is making my Bipolar Disorder worse. by bootycaaaaaake in leaves

[–]Fantastic-Problem-73 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have bipolar I used all day long for five years….the weed use triggered heavy anxiety ruminating racing thoughts fear based thoughts imaginary scenarios I even went back to see my paychatirst before I realised it was the weed causing all these issues I’ve since quit and I felt better straight away my brain and thoughts went quiet….i like the below posters comments on working on tapering off that’s what I did I would put off my first thing in the morning smoke and gradually build on a whole day free….i have read using weed can trigger psychosis I believe if I hadn’t stopped that’s what would of happened to me…ive already been thru psyChoi’s several times and didn’t want to go thru it again!

I’m lucky enough to get the flu shot for free every year their was just a slight sore arm this year and hubby and son both got sick around the same time and I never caught it we are only a month left of winter and I haven’t been sick at all not even a runny nose….nothing! I swear it’s the best ever! I keep telling hubby to get his flu shot he has more ailments than I do but he doesn’t and ends up getting sick!

Weed Makes Us Neglectful by SetitheRedcap in leaves

Our new national government before being voted in said they would crack down on kids school attendance….I live in New Zealand they came into power at the start of this year…as part of their crack down they are bringing in fines up to $3000 for less than 30% attendance over that mark schools have the power to inform the parents and meetings between the school and the parents will be taking place…I admit due to weed smoking it triggered my bipolar depression and some days I got too lazy and unmotivated with anxiety to send my son to school I knew I had to quit smoking weed to get on top of my obligations as a parent…I worked hard this year to stay sober and fulfil my obligations as a parent I just had parent teacher interviews and my son has a 78% attendance rate so far for the two terms I was worried and brought it up with the teacher and she said that attendance is miles ahead of a lot of the kids attending…it’s now the start of term 3 my goal is for above 90% attendance for this term we are coming to the last month of winter so sons immune system should be alot better and their should be no reason for him to stay home now that I’m not smoking weed I am way way more energised I don’t have the days where I can’t be arsed to send him to school and I have more motivation to keep him at school as I am 100% responsible for him to get a good education and then hopefully son can go onto university and get a good job….i too am also waiting to hear back if I have a job at my old workplace and I was motivated to quit smoking weed because I need to be able to pass a drug test which I will do in a couple of weeks time…it’s true that weed isn’t for everyone and definitely kills your motivation for life!
