strange though patterns

[thedudeman]

well im not sure if you guys remember, maybe a few of you, but i went through my withdrawal from marijuana and pills, along with recovering from a nasty trip on a high dose of mushrooms, and well ive come through the other side, but theres strange after effects
for one, realizing that a lot of the things i believed to be true to be 100% false during my acute anxiety stage has made me question everything, from simple science/common sence to reality and even my own self image, i have had a meltdown basically, i feel as though im not 100% anymore, like theres something wrong in my mind, some loose wiring, are there any ex drug addicts here who can relate?

i smoke marijuana once a week with my friends, i have no withdrawal symptoms from it and dont feel a super strong urge to smoke unless im very stressed

i hear ya, im not an ex drug addict but i also had a moment in my life where i had a meltdown and went through some stages and changed my image and i have to say im still going through the process of becoming a normal non depressed guy. i smoke weed everyday right b4 bed and when im at school or work and when im playing video games. i would say that if ur still smoking it then quit.

it brings me a bit of joy at the end of the week and can calm my mood for a few days
the meltdowns are nasty, i feel like im having a midlife crisis at 17

i was told today by a psychiatrist that the reason that i am paranoid, stressed, thoughts of suicide, feeling like sh*t all the time, and pretty much most of the problems in my life are due to smoking marijuana, so im quiting it and like i said b4 i suggest u do the same

[thedudeman]

ive been told that to, you were smoking it heavily like yu said, that creates a dependency on it in order to feel good, in other words, your goin through withdrawal

i should take a month break soon though, see if it helps my mood, if it does then ill stop
