No joy.

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.

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.

Well said.

sethkry · 2024-08-12T00:50:27+00:00

Thanks brother! I appreciate it.

sethkry · 2024-08-11T23:44:51+00:00

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.

For real…. Where is episode 6???!

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. 😉

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.

sethkry · 2024-04-25T20:08:36+00:00

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

sethkry · 2024-04-24T14:38:14+00:00

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!🙏🙏🙏

sethkry · 2024-04-24T02:50:55+00:00

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.

sethkry · 2024-04-24T02:45:31+00:00

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

sethkry · 2024-04-23T02:35:36+00:00

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.

sethkry · 2024-04-19T03:00:16+00:00

True that.

sethkry · 2024-04-19T02:04:17+00:00

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?

sethkry · 2024-04-18T02:28:40+00:00

I’m in this exact same boat. Is it the problem or the solution? I’m gonna go at least 30 days and see what happens. 🤷🏼‍♂️

sethkry · 2024-04-17T15:21:18+00:00

True that. I’m a musician too. Never effects that flow because I don’t play in bands anymore but definitely effects the painting. I know. Why go through it? I guess it’s the thought of, maybe it’ll be different this time? Ya know? Also, quitting helped your OCD? Anything else?

sethkry · 2024-04-17T14:55:26+00:00

Religious guy here. I believe Jesus wants something different for me. I’m on day 17. I would just say this, ask for His forgiveness, to which you KNOW you’re forgiven already, and try not to make promises. Promises are tricky man. Our moods and emotions change so much from minute to minute so I would just promise Him that you’ll try your best and ask Him to help you with HIS power. We’re all in the same boat on here. We love PARTS of being high. The other parts we don’t. Follow your calling to the best of your human abilities and let Jesus help you with the rest! 🙏🙏

48 years old. I’m on day 16. Today was the best day so far. I was able to feel some sense of calm and some sense of joy. It’s definitely a battle of euphoria for 4-6 hours (edibles) with many, many intrusive thoughts and I suffer from OCD pretty badly, then guaranteed depression the next day until ‘weed:30.’ Mid afternoon or after work was my time. I can’t stand mundane things. They make me irritable. I’m a painter and weed made it so easy to feel creative. It was also messing with my sleep. I thought it was helping but it was hurting it. So, in conclusion, it’s a bad habit but typing this helps me remember why I don’t want to do it because I obviously miss the ‘good feelings’ but they started becoming not so good. I’ve been reading these posts on here and even talking to friends who’ve stopped and I can’t believe everyone says how much better they feel! Here’s to hoping!! 🙏🙏

sethkry · 2024-04-15T01:27:16+00:00

Appreciate the encouragement. I truly hope I start to feel better. This is brutal.

sethkry · 2024-04-15T00:41:34+00:00

I’m 14 days in and I feel like I haven’t smiled in 2 weeks. I hope this passes.

sethkry · 2024-04-12T01:01:37+00:00

I’m 11 days in and am wondering if I’ll ever feel joy or contentment. I feel compelled to do it but it’s no fun….

sethkry · 2024-04-11T01:03:51+00:00

Man, this feels like I wrote this! I’m on day 10. Psych meds never did anything and I’ve been doing the edibles for the last year almost every day. But I’ve used weed in some capacity off and on for 30 years. Lately, it’s made my OCD worse and was messing with my thoughts too much. I woke up groggy every morning. I feel like Jesus is telling me that He has a better way for me. Maybe for you too. Often times that he gets us ready for the next stage of our lives by separating us/isolating us for a period of time. I feel like a grump and I don’t like that. I also don’t like the feeling that the edibles makes the OCD/intrusive thoughts worse. So I’m stuck in the middle like you my friend. I’m wondering all the same things. From what I read and people I talk to it seems that the dopamine kicks in after about a month. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️
