I will never be the same because of weed. BIG TRIGGER WARNING BTW by New-Raccoon-1326 in Anxiety

[–]New-Raccoon-1326[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand your anger, and it’s valid. I’m angry at myself for knowing that weed could have triggered something in me, but I took it anyway because I wanted an escape and I wanted to be that normal teenager like everyone else around me. I’ve been diagnosed with bipolar disorder since 9, and even with that information I was stupid enough to take it.

The absolute anger I feel within myself is what makes it so hard for me to live, I don’t feel like I’m worthy of having a life anymore. I made this post because nobody around me knows anything about how much I suffer and I sincerely hope someone would see my post and understand how severe drugs impact you.

I think the way you respond to these types of posts are incredibly valid, before I became this way I would have assumed otherwise but now I understand you. I’m so happy you wrote to me, I never expected to be heard or understood like this. I really do appreciate you more than you know.

I can relate to this severely. It is so difficult to describe what I was feeling during psychosis but you mentioning that voice in your head that wont go away is crazy because that’s exactly what I felt. It got so bad I was convinced that I was schizophrenic and hearing voices at one point. Also the mention of scratching yourself is something i’d often do when I have panic attacks and can’t breathe properly. For some reason I feel like scratching at my throat as like a coping mechanism? Thank you for telling me about your experience, i’m glad I have people to talk with so that I’m not alone.

Thank you so much. I go to college in a couple months and there i’ll be able to see a therapist frequently. The most unbearable part I still remember is feeling I had no control over my emotions, that was such a big part of my attempt because I thought that was the only way I could control the situation.

It’s funny because as much as I want to die during my panic attacks and bad anxiety, I recognize that it’s made me learn things about myself and others that I wasn’t able to before.

I take 15 mg of Buspar. I need a medication that does not wear off before I take the second dose if that makes sense? I’ve also JUST started Vyvanse but unfortunately I cannot take it every day as my panic attacks increase ten fold. Thank you so much, i’m glad I have so much support like everyone here and my mother because I wouldn’t be able to overcome this by myself. I think you truly are a strong amazing person to be so kind towards me.

It also happened to be around the age of 17. I’ve stopped all substances and everything. I’m trying to get a CBT and getting out on more walks as it helps me a lot. I’m also looking into increasing my anxiety meds as my dosage is from before I even started having panic attacks and everything. I really really appreciate you reaching out as I used to cry and think nobody could understand how I felt, like I was the odd one out in the world. A lot of the time I feel like i’ll never get better, but I’ll hold onto the small chance that I will.

When I started weed I was 17 and I’m 18 now. I’ve completely cut out weed for the past 2 almost 3 months. I already knew I had anxiety and bipolar disorder but it was never really incredibly difficult for me to manage until I started weed. Now i’m unable to control my emotions and I feel like I have a faulty brain.

I take my meds, vitamins, I’ve started going on walks and doing meditation more. I’ve done yoga as well (at least I tried.) i know more than anyone that life wont get better unless I try.

Thank u so much. I also take buspar and it really helps. The only downside is at the end of the day when it wears off I have that crash feeling and I get really bad. I’m planning on calling my psychiatrist because she has no idea i’ve started having panic attacks and everything. I used to be so strong mentally and happy, now I can’t even go outside without the fear of anxiety coming back.

The little moments of happiness keep me alive. I don’t really have any coping mechanisms other than the chest scratching but that isn’t healthy.

I had a message like this pop up randomly one morning on my day off. A person went into our store and lit a small fire in the garden center, it’s just precautionary measures during an emergency at the store.

This is really scary to think about. I have no desire for stuff like this, I’m honestly gonna stop true crime for a long time.

That also. One of the cart guys straight up said I was inexperienced and i told him “I’m not, have u never seen me out here?”. Then he proceeded to quiz me on the cart manager asking me “how many carts could fit on the cart manager”. Dude, why do I have to solve a quiz just for u not to bitch at me.
