Hello everyone, I came across this website about a month ago during the first week of my weed withdrawals and boy has it helped a lot. It is good to see I am not alone in this journey, but I did have some thoughts I needed help coming to terms with. I am 23 years old and I smoked weed for about 2 years basically every night before I would sleep. I did this only at night and never smoked before 7 pm. It has been a little over a month for me and while the first couple weeks were absolute hell mentally, I still get:
-waves of anxiety and depression over the course of the day
-deep heart palpations
-dizzy spins & vertigo right when the evening comes around
-insomnia
-loss of feeling like myself, I don't feel like how I used to, life doesn't feel the same sadly
-hypnic jerking right as a fall asleep, a weird sensation comes and I feel as though my bed is moving (it is a nightmare)
I also noticed during my first couple weeks I never suffered from a loss of appetite, and I see that as being one of the biggest symptoms during withdrawals. So this makes me question if this is maybe something else or common for weed withdrawals. I know with this whole pandemic going on, it arises anxiety but I just don't feel like myself anymore and need some clarity. I have been seeing a doctor and she prescribed me anti-anxiety meds 5 minutes into talking assuming it was because of all that is going on. Most doctors i've talked to don't know much about weed withdrawals, but I am almost certain this is that. I have never felt this anxiety and depression in my life. Please give me your insight if you have any.
Thank you everyone and stay happy and safe during this time
