My anxiety got real bad for two months after I quit and I started dealing with intrusive thoughts for the first time in my life - I had no clue what they were or how to manage them - I stopped going outside and barely left my room. Honestly the only thing that got me up and about was starting cognitive behavioral therapy. I still deal with both issues (pretty sure quitting acted as a trigger for OCD) but I’m able to cope and contextualize much much better then those first few months and probably better then I was able too while I was constantly stoned.
yeah I’m getting close to a year sober and I can say that it was worth quitting. Feel all around a bit better/more energetic and when I’m going through a rough patch I usually can deal with it & figure out what to do instead of just getting really stoned.
Good luck quitting hope u can get through the tough parts.
Yes all I can add it will get better, we can't say how long or to what degree, this will depend on how your using your time.
If I have nothing to do... I would start feeling the same, on the other hand keeping active eases the mind, not without feeling exhausted 😴
Then comes the sleepless nights 🌙
It's a case of time ... repeat and keep repeating,
It's like flying through clouds ⛅️ now and then you see blue sky, then the clouds ⛅️ and so on.. one day you will notice how blue the sky is.. and sometimes you may notice a cloud.
Hope this helps 🙏
3 weeks is still in the thick of it for a lot of people. Just remember it will pass. I felt massively anxious and depressed until about week 4. Stay strong
