I am 27 and have been smoking nearly 24/7 for about 10 years. I could talk about why I decided to quit but it would take a long time. Essentially I just started noticing bad cyclical behaviors and heavy isolation/distancing that I could no longer blame on anything else other than the choice to constantly numb myself with weed.
I have always been a flowerhead.. nothing else gets me high like it, even strong concentrate. I made a big jump and quit flower and it was awful, I won’t lie. I felt so incredibly sick for like two weeks and my depression felt at an all time high.
My doctor gave me some anti-anxiety pills to help and they really have.. however, due to my new insurance company deciding to take forever to send me any of my info, I haven’t been able to have my anti-depressants or real meds in about two weeks
And so, I started hitting my fiancé’s cart, at first it was temporary and I would only do it when I would generally take my regular meds (i had only quit flower like two weeks before this so i didnt make it very long). And now, I’m struggling to control my consumption with those too. I still don’t have my correct prescription meds yet and I just feel stuck and sad.
Have any of you had to deal with anything similar? Even if you haven’t, any advice or supportive words are appreciated.
Edit: the anxiety pills are apparently the lowest-level ones they can give so im not super worried about getting hooked on them, they told me they were non-habit forming when they were prescribed to me, but i appreciate all the warning 🙏🩷 i haven’t found myself reaching for them, i even forget to take them sometimes
