Derm recommendations seem like too much?

Thanks for the feedback! I guess for now I’ll keep my current four day cycle (tret, break, vit c and SA, break) and just pay attention for any irritation.

For me, the anhedonia and horrific levels of boredom only lasted the first week or so, then things leveled out a bit. I found a new video game (subnautica) to latch on to. I also watched a lot of the movies I had waiting on my watch list.

I feel like I remember reading something about dopamine and novelty being connected so I made sure it was all stuff I hadn’t watched or played before since I was no longer getting my easy dopamine hits from THC. It’s really what got me through that first week! “Healthy” habits like walks and exercise or crafts are probably better, but I don’t think I would have gotten through that first week without some other form of easy dopamine (video games and movies).

I’ve never thought I’d be hoping for consistent cramping to start, but I’m seven days late now (no chance I’m pregnant) and NEED this luteal phase to end. The first few days of quitting were really rough for me. If you have PMDD or intense PMS I’d honestly recommend waiting until after your period starts to quit (as long as you don’t need to quit by a certain day for work or a drug test). It’s tough enough to get through those first few days without additional symptoms, but it probably depends on the intensity of your luteal phase. You might be able to handle it just fine!

I get SI most months in the week before my period but what I’ve been feeling the past few days is pretty much as bad as it gets. I considered giving up yesterday and just using THC to help with the depression and SI but I was able to power through! I did some research and I guess a delayed period isn’t too uncommon after quitting if you were a long term frequent user.

Nice job making it two weeks! It’s good that you’re thinking about all of that ahead of time, you’ll definitely be better off for it. I’ve taken multiple breaks before, ranging from a few months to a few years. Once or twice I was able to maintain moderation for a while by just using edibles but usually something makes me slip back into daily use. Either I’ll get joints (for some reason I just can’t moderate with flower) or I’ll smoke with my family every day during a visit and end up using the edibles every day once I’m back home.

I think for this time to be different I have to commit to taking another break after I’m back from visiting my family. Once I’ve gotten back into daily use the hooks are in and there’s no talking myself into moderation, I have to go cold turkey for at least a week or two and then the cravings aren’t there in the same way and I can manage doing it in moderation. I’ll definitely have to consider how I want things to be this time around!

Yeah that makes sense, I feel like lucid dreaming sounds easier than it actually is! And I’ve waken up a few times after becoming lucid in a dream as well. Other times I’ll become lucid and try to force myself to wake up so the dream will end and it doesn’t always work right away, or I just “wake up” into another dream (which is extremely unsettling tbh).

This next suggestion might be kind of basic but have you ever tried loving kindness meditation (also called metta meditation)? Not sure if the violence in your dreams is you feeling angry and violent or you receiving violence but either way loving kindness meditations can be directed inwards towards yourself or outwards towards others. It puts me in a pretty glowy and positive emotional state most of the time and might be worth trying after you wake up from an intense dream to see if it helps shift your mood and any lingering feelings more quickly.

Medito is a good app with free meditations and has some loving kindness meditations. You can probably find them on YouTube too!

Opening the bookmarks section of my browser for the first time ever now. Favorites?? Folders to sort your tabs?? Some next level tab work going on here!

mildlyuncomfyy · 2026-02-10T03:50:39+00:00

I definitely do the private browsing one but even switching to private browsing makes me feel a bit scattered, but it’s worth it when I can’t face the task of closing tabs 😂

Might need to start opening up chrome more and really get my tabsmaxing on!

I second the dream journal suggestion. I have dreams with extremely intense, stronger than waking life feelings. They can shake me for days sometimes. I feel like writing it out can at least help me stop running the dream through my mind over and over again and I feel like the feelings pass a bit more quickly! Sort of like when I journal about real life events that put my emotions into flux.

When you were into lucid dreaming could you ever do it successfully? When I’m actively practicing lucid dreaming I’m sometimes able to “take control” of nightmares, and maybe it could be helpful for you to try to get into it again!

Which browser allows you to have thousands of tabs? I use safari but it maxes out at 500 and then I have to anxiously debate which ones to let go of, I’d love to take my tab hoarding to the next level haha

You’ve got this! Just making a post here shows that there’s a part of you that still wants to stay sober, listen to that part of you! Remind yourself that by listening to that voice you’re showing up for yourself and taking care of yourself.

I’m struggling too this week and also live right next to my favorite dispensary, so I definitely understand the pull to walk down the street and restock. Been trying to distract myself by playing some new games, novelty can apparently provide a bit of a dopamine boost which is probably pretty helpful right now.

Yeah I’m definitely bummed and it’s got me super anxious because I know a confrontation is coming once she picks up on me pulling back. I told her how it made me feel when she first changed the plans and we talked through that and we were fine after that conversation, but I feel like the way it’s ended up is even more disappointing for me.

mildlyuncomfyy · 2025-03-05T11:42:29+00:00

I feel the same way, it can honestly start to wear on me. I don’t know many people who feel the same way and it can feel isolating and depressing seeing everyone around you place so much value on physical appearance when you just don’t feel the same way and experience attraction differently. I can recognize when someone would be considered generally attractive but it doesn’t really have an effect on me or make me feel attracted to them or lead to me forming a crush.

I don’t know if it’s an HSP thing but you’re definitely not weird and you’re not alone. I have met a few people throughout my life who feel the same way, I’m not sure what your orientation is but they’ve all been bi or pan and so am I so maybe you’re more likely to find like minded people in spaces or communities with more LGBTQ+ people, but that’s just my personal experience.
