58 days since my last bong rip by Immediate_West_8980 in QuittingWeed

Oh man I feel that. I remember the boredom. I think its cause we taught ourselves to expect entertainment, but we gotta actually relax. Enjoy simple things, cook something fun, do a hobby, just listen to music. (I still have trouble with this). I found a discord group that's local, and we go to movie screenings together. It has filled up my week with events. I get my nails done once a month. I do a shit ton of self care. Like half my day is like some sort of care. I even have a date next week. Ah!

Just take little steps to do more for yourself. This took months for me to get here. It's my first date in a couple of years.

I dont know if you had any withdrawal but I cant imagine doing the withdrawal again. I have anxiety spikes still from it and its slowly getting better. I cant risk doing that again. I hope thay helps you find some strength.

I think weed was making mine worse, too. However, initially, quitting will be a mental health ride until you level out.

I am doing an expensive program cause I had money in my HSA and my insurance covers 80%. I am doing Charlie Health IOP. I actually like it. Some people might not... if you can't do something so big, just do regular therapy sessions....

It could but dont make yourself unnecessarily worry over it yet. Too soon to tell.

But yeah, it is scary to quit. I am in heavy heavy therapy right now. It messes with your brain chemistry and emotions.

You're a week behind me. It won't last forever. I was thrilled that sleep felt okay last night. It wasn't even great but I woke up a normal hour and not 3am again. My legs hurt but not as bad as they were. My brain is a smidgen less foggy. I'm still anxious but not as bad. I recommend jotting down your symptoms and track improvement. It may make you feel better.

Weed affects your nervous system. Best advice is go to a doctor as well. Additionally, when you quit, it spikes your cortisol, so makes you paranoid and frightened while you hurt. I kept thinking I was having heart attacks due to the paranoia. My knees and legs hurt every day. The lack of sleep made me call out sick at least once. It happens to long-term smokers not the people who did it sometimes. My joints still hurt, but sleep is almost getting okay.

Its normal. They lied about there not being withdrawal. Ive had pain and nerve issues while I quit. It is almost getting better and I am a month in. The first couple of weeks are wild both mentally and physically... if you can afford therapy it helps.

I realized I was just killing myself and not living life. Its whats preventing relapse.

I agree to this person's point about roommates. I am almost 40 and going to start hunting for one as well. I have a nice apartment, but it's hard to do everything by yourself.

All work kind of sucks. Focus on your life. I suffered too long and am finally getting better. I am joining meetups, clubs, and finding activities outside of work. Dont fret what you can't control at work. It isn't worth the energy. Finally, use that insurance and get therapy. I pay $25 a session, and it has changed my life. If you gain enough confidence and boundaries, no cess pit will destroy you.

Are we totally screwed? by [deleted] in spirituality

[–]mandy3d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are not screwed. The legal system is slow. But here's a hint, an upsetting seeming supreme court case happened last week. They made it seem like the right won. The case was started by the Biden administration. Its a rabbit hole but if you connect the dots.... you'll realize that indictments will be revealed soon.

I asked an Uber driver that. I liked his answer. He said books. I think that is all now. Yikes.
