For the past week I've kind of felt good half the days and terrible the other half, cried a bit this morning, my mood swings are so sudden and I still hear buzzing in my ears so I'm pretty sure weed withdrawal has something to do with it. That and the fact I have always dealt with traumatic stuff by smoking weed means I still have a lot of work to do before I get better but at least I'm 5 months sober and haven't given in to the urge to relapse. Today wasn't great but tomorrow might be better, some days will be worse but, generally speaking, it will get better. Good luck to everyone on the road to recovery, especially those that are having a hard time and aren't seeing the positive effects right away, we just need to keep going, day by day.
Very different than week 2, maybe not better but I see progress now and at two weeks I was just so fucking confused and panicking, and probably depressed as well just less conscious of it. Back then I was waking after 3 hours of sleep with terrible anxiety and couldn't nap during the day, dreams were also very unpleasant. By the morning and my first coffee I would be extremely tired but still pretty functional, not much anxiety except for being anxious about the lack of sleep, I tried to keep myself busy. I had cravings but they were manageable compared to the lack of sleep. At about 1 month I started getting anxious during the day, that's when I started therapy and they taught me some ways to deal with it, by month 3 the anxiety wasn't too bad but then I started getting depressed, I'm still working on that, therapy has taught me that there are lots of valid reasons for me to feel depressed and I used to use weed to cope with those things, now it's like I need to reprocess it all and accept my life and who I am, whoever that is :)
Thanks for asking and good luck on your sobriety, I checked your post history a bit, 9 months is monumental and you'll get there again, congrats on your 8 days clean, depression sucks but you'll figure it out, don't be worried to get help if you need it!
I can see an improvement already anxiety depression stuff like that but I have depression anyway and like you said it can be life situation . Thanks for letting me know what to expect I wish you well as well. ❤️
