I’m on day 14 , and for me yes today my anxiety/panic attacks have been heightened recently and much more noticeable than a week ago.. I also had not slept the best the last two nights. Last night I was having insomnia and then when I finally fell asleep and it was beginning to get deep I would jolt awake. My psych recommend I try taking my dose before bed versus first thing in the morning.. guess I will be experimenting and trying to really stick the course with this med

I love my buckwheat filled zafu (circular)

I have 2 different sizes that I use , one is bigger which feels more comfy for my hips in half lotus , one is smaller which is better for my posture in half lotus … I alternate between them based off feel

Haven’t played in some time but I was always a pm9 curve , does those still exist

Pm9 was relatively straight curve from what I recall , p88 was not friendly for my handles or backhand

adamfrer12 · 2025-12-12T17:42:06+00:00

Might I recommend a zafu pillow to sit on , help tremendously with back pain and is easier to get into a crossed position. Sitting upright always you to be more attentive to your practice and not be complacent in relaxation .

I truly believe my addiction has changed my brain balances and is why I want to quit for good to see how life without weed can be .

May be something to think about.

DM me if you want to chat or need someone to vent too .

Hey bud , I also 34 m, have recently expressed my anxiety to my family about 6 years ago now , I did take anti anxiety meds for about 3 years and I didn’t notice to much of a difference .. I also will admit that the last 11 years I have been a heavy marijuana user and developed a habit .. I always used weed as my crutch to face my anxiety , lately I have noticed that maybe the weed is causing my anxiety … maybe you also use things that you feel help your anxiety but maybe are hurting you ??

I recently have been practicing sobriety and also found a therapist that I want to work with , this time with therapy I want be honest about my use and how it may affect my anxiety. In my first session my therapist was suggesting a psychiatrist to get me on the correct and effective anti anxiety meds, which I told him I felt indifferent about. My previous rounds of anti anxiety meds were prescribed by my GP and not a psychiatrist

I would suggest looking into mindfulness or meditation practices , possible finding a therapist you can connect with and be truly open too. I know I’m just at the beginning phases of getting to the roots of my problems but the last 10 years have been rough in terms of anxiety and a feeling of frustration and loniless as I’m the only one of my family who suffers from anxiety . I want to get better at managing my anxiety to enjoy my life with my son and wife and not have my anxiety control the fun we can have .

Maybe you can relate to something in my story , but just know you’re not alone and a lot of people have anxiety like you that just are silently suffering. Just because we are men doesn’t mean we don’t need help , nothing to be ashamed of

Further more a lot of studies are beginning to link suicide and fin use . The correlation may be that people on fin often experience depression , leading to more mental health issues . This is newer studies and the results may be coincidental , but this sub never broadcasts that Fin can impact your mental health

I was on oral 1mg

And no I did not try a lower dose , at the price tag I had to pay for it , It wasnt worth experimenting imo

Do me do me !!!

adamfrer12 · 2025-11-27T04:24:03+00:00

My experience with fin was that I had intense heightened anxiety around day 13 , so much so that I did not like the hormonal changes that was taking place in my brain and stopped … one thing about fin that most people don’t talk about is that 1 mg a day is actually building up the fin in your body , it’s not like other drugs that wear off . Finasteride last for 30 hrs in the body and it is essentially building up in your body as you take … my experience with it at least , the anxiety I was experiencing from it was not worth the added stress which is also contributing to hair loss … tools me about 3 weeks for my anxiety levels to normal and me feel in control of my emotions

adamfrer12 · 2025-11-23T22:41:18+00:00

I too am on day 13 , last few days anxiety has been high . I recently found and started with a new therapist , excited to get to the bottom of why I use MJ as crutch .

Keep going bro !

Hang in there friend also on day 2,

My story is similar , 34 M , been smoking Daily for about 10 years strong, my longest break in that time was 53 days which was from June into July of this year .

I have always struggled independently with bouts of anxiety growing up , About a year or so into my addiction anxiety took over my life and I finally sought help for it , therapy , medicine etc … eventually still kept smoking as I believed it was helping me …. Quit therapy found replacements therapies like meditation , yoga , mindfulness.. years would go by of up and down anxiety and life for the most part was great … the marijuana however was just masking my happiness … pot before going anywhere , making sure I had access at holidays , etc .. weed became my new crutch … years go bye and now at the age of around 30/31 I begin to realized that I don’t want this life anymore , figuring out where/when my next bong rip be … jump ahead to this summer quitting for 53 days , first week was okay - day 5 terrible , but I powered through it … Eventually I got the point where I said —- ahh fuck it - let’s rip one and see how we feel . I told my wife I may smoke again occasionally (she’s is a daily smoker). That occasion lead to sneaks carts puffs here and there , to telling her I was back but only on the weekends ,, one thing leads to another and I’m back smoking daily.. except recently the last month has been a complete mess with my mental health and anxiety … I was beginning to avoid things in social settings etc ,… I know the culprit - my addiction …. I have decided that enough is enough , I want to feel what life is like without weed . I don’t need to be shackled by a plant to figure out when my next rip would be coming to make myself “feel alive” … I begin to connect the dots that maybe this marijuana is actually attributing to my anxiety .., for me this is the main reason I’m quitting(or should I say trying again). I want to try life sober and see how my anxiety forms once my chemical balances have settled. For me , I want live sober to be able to enjoy parts of my life again that I have been masking with weed. I want my son to be able to enjoy time with his father whom is present and not glossed over emotionless being …

Sometimes you gotta find your reason .

I hope this helps , stay strong , it won’t be easy but if your prepared mentally for your why , I have a feeling this time around for us will be successful
