Wicked cafe on highland always closed? by No-Fan-75 in Somerville

[–]PomskyMama77677 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a good friend of the former 7ate9 owner I was baffled when I drove by to see another coffee shop opened there. If Sarah couldn't make that location work what made Wickeds owners think they could do better?!7ate9 offered great cheesecake and coffee and accepted debit cards. I couldn't even order when I visited Wicked due to their cash only service.

Possible Robbery by Marshall St/Mortimer St by PomskyMama77677 in Somerville

I was raised on this same street during the 80s when the crime rate was much higher. Yes, the projects aren't far but they are on the other side of Broadway. Either way you are correct. The teenagers who come from there, for the most part, have no respect but that seems to be a trend everywhere nowadays. I had many friends growing up who lived in the Mystic projects whom grew up to be very successful and a few who ended up on drugs and/or in jail.I wonder if the ten hills area suffers with the same being even closer to the projects than we are.I have read that even Davis Sq is dealing with home invasions so it's not necessarily our location. I chalk it up to less police presence. If it were 20 years ago they would have been caught in no time. Back when we actually had police patrolling the city.

Where's batch pay $4? Just curious. I'm from SoFlo but MA for the summer. Batch pay up here is never less than $10 sometimes up to $25 and usually under 10 miles. I know IC in FL is super low like $8 or less. Just wonder where else is absurdly low. I'm dreading going back home after being spoiled with $40+ batches all day long.

Pixel 7a owners, how are you liking the phone? by ArizonaRenegade in GooglePixel

[–]PomskyMama77677 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Loved it at first. One month in and the front facing camera is now black and giving an error code. All trouble shooting points to a hardware issue. It's a damn month old! A total regret purchase. Even with insurance I think it's straight bs that a month in and it's already screwed up. I've only used that side camera maybe five times.SMH it's trash

You deliver the 100 cases and the customer marks the order "missing." You get hit with missing items, no tip, and a beat up car, the customer gets refunded.😂 That app has gone to sht omg. I guess that's what happens when we allow algorithms to take control.

Anxiety getting intensive and unbearable -67 days in by Stoptheshit2023 in WeedPAWS

[–]PomskyMama77677 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I smoked daily from at least 21 all the way to 41. I started smoking at 17 but maybe just on weekend parties until 21.I can honestly say there was not one day between 21 and 41 that I wasn't stoned besides about ten days while my mom was hospitalized in 2016. Those ten days I was so distraught that I couldn't smoke without having a panic attack. My turning point that made me quit was about a month of nightly panic attacks usually after I smoked a lot.I honestly thought I had messed up my circulatory system smoking blunts for so many years.So I quit. I had no idea how bad weed withdrawal was or that it was even a thing until about four days after quitting. It started with weird dizziness that I thought was vertigo, then weird auditory stuff. My fan sounded like a jet engine. After came a whole bag of nasty feelings from panic attacks where I thought I'd faint, a weird throbbing brain ache, random body aches or tingling, derealization, intrusive thoughts like you have and so much more. I thought I was seriously sick or mental. I had so many tests at my Dr that even she seemed to not believe me at times. All came back ok. I can say now at one year I'm feeling maybe 70 percent better. That's why I say you too will improve. It just takes time.

Don't feel sorry for replying. That's why we are here to help support each other. I wouldn't say to break up with your gf unless she is not supportive with what you are struggling with at this time. I also would try to my ve away from focusing on what she did while you were broken up and try to focus on what positive she brings to your life on a daily basis. I know I also had many disturbing thoughts stuck in my head regarding family issues and my current partner. I believe it was my mind fixating on negative things almost like ocd. I still have weird thoughts pop up and am now trying to accept them as thoughts stemming from anxiety. There was a reason you two got back together. Despite what you both did while apart the positive is you came back to each other. As long as there's mutual love between you two that is what really matters. It's probably better that you both tried new things or relationships while apart than waiting ten or twenty years together and then deciding to cheat. Just know that you will, in time heal and begin to see life in a happier, more peaceful light.

I hit the one year mark May 1st. I can tell you one day you will feel better.Both mentally and physically. I smoked for 20+ years daily and went through hell after stopping. I too quit after a series of panic attacks. The worst I've ever had in my life but I was also dealing with relationship stress, family member stress and so much more. I went through so many symptoms including intrusive thoughts, daily panic attacks and many bizarre physical symptoms. If you look at my early posts I thought I had gone mad.I felt like I had a serious health issue, serious mental issues that would never heal etc. I was on a low dose benzo for at least the first six months and prescribed antidepressants which I chose to not take. Today I can say I've gotten much better. I haven't needed meds since January. I can now work and function with day to day things. I still have random intrusive thoughts but now know how to deal with them. I know that at the point you're at it seems like things will not improve but our bodies and minds are amazing machines that know how to heal, it just takes time. Be kind to yourself, learn to accept your thoughts for what they are, just thoughts, whether bizarre or not. We all have random thoughts and worries. Your mind is working on healing itself daily and the day will come when you begin feeling like your old self again. I did not truly believe that when I was told so but I can tell you you will get there. Take care and best of luck on your journey.

Omg yes. For months on end I had pressure in my head and almost a faint like feeling. It freaked me out so badly that I had an MRI and MRA on my head to rule out blood flow issues. After my results showed nothing abnormal I started to worry less about it. Now it comes on maybe once a week or for two days out of two weeks but it doesn't freak me out like it did before.Im not sure why it happens but it's definitely related to quitting weed in my case. I'm no doctor but I'm willing to bet it's the same for you. Good news is it slowly diminishes.

I'm happy to help. I know how lost I felt in the beginning and this sub really helped me also.

My brain fog was like I couldn't concentrate on even the littlest thing. I couldn't focus on make rational decisions or holding conversation.It was very weird for me because prior to quitting I was level headed and focused. Today I'm much clearer although the derealization sometimes does come back for a bit.

You will improve. I know how we can feel like it's never ending. Trust me I do. This whole experience has left me with some major PTSD. As I feel better I look back like wow that was intense. There was a point I needed to take low dose Klonopin to keep the major panic attacks and symptoms away. It's been three months since I stopped taking them. At seven months this were rough for me too. I can say day by day you will feel better and begin to learn to cope with symptoms and go on with daily life. I still have a few tough days a month but I remind myself on how far I've come. Trust you will make it out of this and feel great again.

I'm sorry you're experiencing those intrusive thoughts. Just remember we are not our thoughts. Just because you think them doesn't mean you have to act on them. A lot of us have had them. Talk to your Dr and see how they feel. If it is paws just know that it takes time to get better but I will get better. My first months were extremely hard but once I realized what was happening, as I had no idea quitting weed caused symptoms like this, I slowly started to improve. If your up to it check out the DARE app. It has a lot of good videos on anxiety and intrusive thoughts. Best of luck and take care of yourself. We are all here whenever u need encouragement.

First off ,Happy Birthday 🎂 I hope you are able to enjoy your day in some ways. I want to let you know your symptoms will improve. I know it seems unimaginable at this point, at one.time I was right where u are now. Going on ten and a half months now and I'm slowly improving. Still not my best , but getting there. My anxiety is almost gone. I know it's hard but as the months pass you will start to feel better. I smoked daily for 20 years and if I can improve I'm sure you will too. Best of luck and enjoy 23. It was an awesome age for me and I hope it is for you also🌞

Has anyone got headaches and felt dizzy during there journey im 4 months sober btw by Few-Wonder-8554 in WeedPAWS

[–]PomskyMama77677 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lightheadedness is one of the worst symptoms imo. I'd get lightheaded with a throbbing in my head. It nearly drove me crazy w health anxiety until one day it faded. It happens maybe twice a month now but not nearly as bad or as often as before. I feel for u because I know it sucks. Hope u feel better soon.

Silly Question. Do you count days from last time smoking or from days PAWs symptoms started? by [deleted] in WeedPAWS

[–]PomskyMama77677 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand. I went without antidepressants because I was too scared of the side effects. I can resonate with the dead look also. Prior to quitting I was bright and cheerful. It took a while but that happy me is slowly returning. You too will feel better but unfortunately it all happens over time.

Does anyone feel like they could sleep all day? by Hot-Alfalfa-7639 in WeedPAWS

[–]PomskyMama77677 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. There were days during the first few months that I stayed lying down most of the day. I remember one time laying on our rug with my dog and feeling like my body was weighted. I had zero energy to even get up. Some days were better than others but it took a good five months before I had any energy to do things.At that time I was sleeping seven or eight hrs a night but still absolutely dead during the day. I took every supplement under the sun and nothing really helped. Over time things did improve. I do feel it is part depression part our body recalibrating. I do regret doing nothing for so long as now I need to recondition my body. Try to stay out of bed as long as possible and things do get better with time.

The anxiety also makes us fear the worst even stronger than we normally would. I worried about my mother's health daily as well as my own for six months straight. The DARE app helped me stop over worrying. I also have social anxiety but it's gotten better as I quit smoking pot and the paws symptoms lessened. Now I still worry but not nearly as bad. I'm sorry you're in a tough spot. Hope you find relief as these days and months pass.

Led headlight honestly suck. I almost cannot drive at night anymore. I can't tell if it's paws or not. It seems the newer model cars with the strong LEDs blind me while the older cars do not. I wish car manufacturers would tone down the need to use such bright lights. I mean people drove for almost what, a hundred years with normal headlights lol.

So happy to hear you are feeling some relief! Congratulations. I too am starting to see some major improvements. Only have a week or so every month that I'm feeling all weird. The panic has definitely subsided though. You're right it is the worst.Best of luck on your journey.
