It’s been 15 days of quitting weed, the anxiety isn’t as bad but, i’m experiencing a weird change. I have derealization so bad now, i mean i just feel so weird and different, like im not me, or like im in someone else’s body. It freaks me the hell out and kinda makes me panic, i just want to feel “normal” again but i guess what im missing is being high, but will i ever get over this feeling? Please please please let me know, im in much need of some support. Idk why being sober feels like a bad trip, i thought it was supposed to help me feel more like myself.

Hello, i’ve recently went to the doctor about my anxiety and she prescribed me 10mg Lexapro, and ofc my hypochondriac self had to do some digging on the internet before i even take it and i now feel like my doctor might have started me on too much of a high dose? i’m too scared to even start Lexapro because of everyone else’s bad experiences, and now i’ve convinced myself i don’t even need it because my anxiety comes and goes. The truth is, i wake up every morning extremely anxious and it kinda disappears throughout the day, but my constant racing thoughts are always there which usually leads to another wave of anxiety. what should i do? will lexapro help this? should i start by taking 5mg? ugh just so many things going through my mind right now.

so i quit smoking cold turkey about 11 days ago, i haven’t ate anything solid in about 5 days and so far ive lost 10 pounds (mind you im already underweight) so losing anymore weight is not really ideal for me. The only thing i can really get down are ensures, and even that sometimes makes me nauseous. What are some things that helped you guys? Did you just have to wait it out? How long did it take for your appetite to increase? I’ve been a chronic smoker for over 6 years, and i smoked maybe 4/5 blunts 7 days a week. So this is all very new to me and i definitely feel really weird. Any advice would help!

i’ve been smoking consistently 7 days a week for about 6 years. 11 days ago i decided to quit, the first week was fine, i started noticing my appetite decreased but it was still slightly there. I’ve reached the second week and i feel like everything has gotten 10x worse, i have zero appetite, even ensures make me nauseous, but what’s worse of all is my anxiety, it’s unbearable. Has anyone else gone through this and does it get better? I’ve gotten to the point where i’m too afraid to even smoke again because my body is stuck in fight or flight mode and i fear it will just make me panic even more. i forgot what life is like sober, i started smoking when i was 16 and now im 22, so i feel really weird. I’ve also been suffering from derealization and im having extremely lucid dreams that makes it hard to differentiate myself from reality. please tell me im not alone in this.
