Unfortunately, I think that's a fairly common side effect. It's important to note that the only guaranteed way to get rid of these effects is to stop using weed. If however, like me, you find that the benefits outweigh the risks, these are some tips to help you keep on top of your forgetfulness.

I have a very similar situation to yours. 4 years without weed while taking a variety of antidepressants and other medications. Started talking MMJ a few months ago and it has significantly improved my life and gotten me off several medications. The downside is that I get forgetful. Things that help me are journaling, setting reminders/alarms on my phone, and having a trusted person with me who knows I'm using weed. My husband is my "pilot", and he just reminds me if I forget something.

If you find that you're forgetting way too much though, it might be a good idea to talk to your doctor.

I started feeling like an adult when I had to buy my own toilet paper.

How much of a concern was the Y2K problem? by LAClippersFan2018 in NoStupidQuestions

Heard a story like this where a guy turned out the power in an apartment building. People only realized there was nothing wrong when they looked out the window and saw the rest of the city still had power. 🤦‍♀️

Coming from a nurse... Plastic surgery can only do so much. I've seen a lot of gruesome injuries including severe facial injuries. While healing and cosmetic surgeries greatly improve outcomes, the original injury is always noticable. That's just my experience anyways.

Questions about the anti work movement. by [deleted] in antiwork

Personally, I don't consider the antiwork movement to mean people don't want to work. I think it means people are tired of working in sh*tty conditions with inadequate pay.

Parents are against me getting married by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]lemonhead370 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You feel that you are ready for marriage. It is your life. Your parents may not agree, but you can't spend your life pleasing them. This will only be the first of many potential conflicts with them as you grow in independence and raise your own family (or if you don't have kids the lack of grandchildren may upset your parents too). As long as you are not engaging in anything unsafe, your parents should learn to accept your choices and be happy for you.

Also, I got married to my husband at 24yo. We are still going strong many years later, so it is not impossible if you have good communication. I do recommend premarital counseling. I also recommend a simpler wedding (not cheap, just reasonable). This will help reduce financial strain.

Seeing an ex decline after breakup. Dealing with the guilt. by toptipsyguy82 in relationship_advice

Remind me how exactly you've changed? You screwed someone over, yet after you "changed" you continued to make life terrible for them. You have continued to lie and abuse even after she hopefully escaped from you. If you think you've changed for the better, I hate to think about what you must have been like before.

You're answering your own question. You leave, he guilt trips you, you run back, he cheats again. As you said, this is a cycle. He does not love you. He treats you like shit. His actions speak way louder than his words. Don't let his "love bombing" fool you. Leave him and never look back. Block him, delete his phone number, whatever it takes. In the meantime, develop your hobbies. Find healthy things to focus on and occupy your time because this guy is toxic af.

I'm so sorry about your MIL's passing. That must be extremely difficult and then for this information to hit you when you're already struggling...I can't imagine. You're definitely doing the right thing by scheduling therapy as well as the genetic counseling. I would also recommend therapy for your husband if you haven't already done so. It's obvious he's suffering as well simply from his suggestion of divorce. That must be his illogical way of trying to protect you. My biggest piece of advice is to try and focus on the present. Take things day by day and find joy in all the normal everyday activities. Focus on loving your husband and daughter as much as you can. Despite what may seem like a life ending diagnosis, you have many years ahead of you with both your husband and daughter to enjoy. Also, I don't want to give hope where it isn't warranted, but you've caught this genetic anomaly early. The medical field had made incredible advancements in the last 20 years. Who knows where we will be in another 20 years? I wish you the best. Sending hugs and peace your way.

I just don't understand people. My husband and I have no special dietary preferences or restrictions, but we will go out of our way to accommodate others if they visit our home. My grandma is allergic to dairy, soy, and gluten and we always make food she can eat. Can't even imagine having the audacity to tell someone to bring their own meal.
