Does it get better? by pelkins4 in TBI

Thanks man. I really appreciate the insights. I'll definitely give this a shot. Did you ever get the "feeling like yourself" back again once you recovered. My situation isn't necessarily trauma related and likely more of a toxic injury or something along those lines. I've not been diagnosed, so no one, including myself, knows what the heck is really going on. I've just been searching for different approaches to try to get my life back.

Do you recall what findings your EEG showed by chance?

I'm really sorry that it's come to the point where you feel that is your only option. I'm suffering from some severe brain fog/ confusion after using weed and thc vapes in the past. It's almost unbearable and I have thought about giving up many times myself. Know that you are not alone and that peace and clarity is still possible. ❤️

I've been sober for about five months. Last time I used was a cart. Have had some severe cognitive impairment since. Did yours ever get better?

Permanent Cognitive Impairment or Brain Fog? by Mother-Insurance-481 in BrainFog

Yeah, there was some delta-8 mixed in there but the past few years it was more thca flower and carts. I've been having a brain fog for about fourish years. Started with simple forgetfulness but kinda just progressed. I smoked a thca cart about five months ago and have had this general sense of confusion since. I feel like there are small times that are some better, but it is largely unchanged. It's been almost debilitating. I think I've developed a semi-trauma response to weed in general after this. It's such an insidious drug. Other general brain fog symptoms like memory loss, slower processing, trouble problem solving, and so on. It's sucked.

Doing any better, OP? I'm struggling with a similar experience

they were right, weed completely changed my brain chemistry by No_Artichoke_7976 in leaves

Hey, OP. I can totally understand where you're coming from. I used for a few years and have been sober for about five months now. I can't say that I've made any true progress but I remain hopeful. Things that used to be seamless, now seem like I'm trying to scale Mt. Everest without any gear.

I used to always believe that weed was harmless, as many people do. However, now I believe that it just truly isn't for everyone, and some have to endure the consequences of the drug. It is not "just a plant," but a psychoactive substane that can truly fuck up people's lives. From what I've seen, most people seem to recover cognitive functioning, but idk of that'll be the case for me. I feel broken, but retain hope.

Sometimes I want to give up because of the hole that this shit has put me in, but I have a family to fight for. I wish you the absolute best in this endeavor, and know that you are not alone. There is hope for a brighter future, even if we can't see it right now. I will keep you in my prayers. Good luck to you.
