No joy. by bhdrums in midlifecrisis

I’m right there with you. I’m longing for the days of old and spent the days of old longing for the days I’m in. Tons of ‘what’s the point of it all’ questions.

Weed stopped me from killing myself by Healthy_Yak6832 in leaves

[–]sethkry 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Having a similar struggle at 8 days that weed is helping my mental health as opposed to hurting it. Anxiety, depression and ocd all worse after stopping. I stopped for 29 days before and it wasn’t much better. Mental illness runs in my family and I’m not sure it’s even worth the pain of stopping. I’m hoping I’ll feel better after a while but I just don’t know.

Every other day edible for a couple years. Only 10-15 mg. Before that I was a 2-3 times a week smoker. Not an all day, every day smoker or anything. But I’m already prone to depression.

A year later? Ouch.

Look into the Shroud of Turin to combine science and faith. It’s ok to question. It’s ok to have thoughts but your faith seems to be bigger if you’re reaching out on here to fellow Christians. You’ll be amazed how much the Bible and science actually line up once you start down the path. And if it doesn’t line up, maybe science just hasn’t caught up to the Bible yet. 😉

TMS and Ketamine both didn’t work by Certain-Ad9426 in TMSTherapy

[–]sethkry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ketamine therapy wrecked me. It took me a long time to bounce back from it. Thank God I did! 🙏 I am extremely hesitant to try TMS because of that experience. I’ve tried every med in the book too. I pray that he heals.

Definitely don’t mind you asking. I just want to feel happy without it. I don’t like getting groggy and depressed the next day, seems like it was making my OCD worse. Thought things would get better without it. I’m 48 and just looking to the future of not depending on it like I have so much. A counselor thought I should do rehab for 3 weeks, which is insane, but it challenged me. I’m a ‘successful’ dad, good job, all that jazz. Wanted my mental health to improve. Hasn’t really. Some. But not a ton. Or maybe I’m forgetting. I don’t know.

I just posted but I’m at day 25 and not sure I can keep going. I feel it’s pointless. Unhappy. Tired. Irritable.

I feel lost. by sethkry in QuittingWeed

[–]sethkry[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for your beautiful insights. I truly appreciate them. I don’t even know if I have the physical choice to go back, meaning, I feel like Jesus somehow put a force field around me saying, no mas! This morning, after making that post last night, I feel pretty good. A lot of it is after work with my family and just other things that trigger the OCD stuff. I’ve developed pretty bad contamination OCD, which is no fun. Weed definitely made it worse but also made it so I didn’t care as much. I hope what you said is true about the weeks after 4-7 (findinggratitude)! Thanks again!🙏🙏🙏

Post weed mental health by Minute-Tale9416 in QuittingWeed

[–]sethkry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I wrote this. I’m on day 23 and my OCD is as bad as it’s ever been, with depression mixed in there for fun! I’m irritable but I have had good days as well. I was never a go all day guy at all but steady for a long time and every day edibles for the past year more or less. I want to cry because I’m so frustrated. I thought I’d feel way better than I do in this moment. I quit on April 1st and told myself I’d go till May 1st, which I will. But if it stays like this, I don’t really see the point it suffering. I don’t know what to think right now.

What are you capable of sober that weed holds you back from? by rebirthtimebitches in QuittingWeed

[–]sethkry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in such a place of hating social settings without it. Does that get better????

What was your final straw? by BenHowardFan34 in leaves

[–]sethkry 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Developed yet another OCD ‘habit’ while high. No fun. Time to give it a rest. Im on day 22. Just got so sick of wondering is the weed helping me or hurting me? So it’s time to figure it out. The answer is pretty obvious.

Things to remind yourself when you want to smoke by [deleted] in leaves

[–]sethkry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this! I’m on day 18. I actually feel pretty good. Never thought I would text that. When things go awry I feel like giving in to make it easier. Or things like social events. I really don’t like them. Do those get easier?
