Smoking doesn’t relax me anymore like how it used to. It does the opposite actually has anyone noticed changes in their anxiety after stopping marijuana for a month?
I debate with weed at this point in life. Sometimes i can tolerate it but most times it triggers anxiety, fatigue & an overall feeling of impending doom. Maybe some people aren’t meant to smoke or drink anymore at a certain age.
What are some of yall scary feelings when high off weed? Ive cut down drastically went from smoking about an eighth in a couple of days to just having one or two puffs a day. I am most likely ready to go sober I just have these “what if this time it will be relaxing” thoughts. but being high seems to prove why it’s time to retire from it lol.
So I’ve been HIV positive going on a year this October and from the beginning, my doctor put me on biktarvi. But lately I’ve been feeling like my mental is scattered for some odd reason. It’s like I can’t really get what I’m thinking out clearly sometimes or feel like I have to repeat what I was saying because I lose track mid sentence. Has anyone else gone through this? I also wake feeling blah most days & read on some other forum that biktarvi can cause issues with communication & cognitive function sometimes.
I get super sad because I can see his energy dipping low some days and all I do is give him very long pets that he enjoys very much. He is a bit over weight but on a diet he was always so active & the last two years he has slowed down a lot and put on weight they say it’s the steroids & medications he’s on. Anyway he knows he is very loved 🥰 Meet Rufus 👋🏽
I used to actually enjoy smoking, but lately it feels like my brain completely changes once I get high. Today I took 2 puffs after going 6+ hours without smoking and got ridiculously anxious. Heart felt weird, stomach felt off, and suddenly I was analyzing every little thing I was feeling.
It’s weird because I don’t really have that problem when I’m sober. I actually feel pretty normal.
I’m curious if anyone else went from enjoying weed to eventually finding that it just made them uncomfortable or anxious. Did your reaction to it change over time?
Sooo today is officially Day 1 of my break from cannabis. I have no more weed around and don’t plan on buying.
I know we all have different bodies, brains, and chemistry, but for those of you who have taken a couple weeks or a month off, what were the first things you noticed?
Did you notice any physical or mental changes? Better sleep? More energy? Changes in mood, appetite, anxiety, motivation, facial etc.?
What was your experience taking a break from the devil’s lettuce? 🌿😂
I’ve noticed that whenever I smoke weed, I get really dark circles under my eyes and feel like I look weak or sickly while I’m high. I’ve also lost some weight recently.
I was reading that weed can affect appetite and weight differently for some people, and I’m wondering if it can also contribute to looking frail or having a more sunken/tired appearance.
For anyone who has quit or taken a long break from weed, did you notice your face or overall appearance return to normal after a while? If so, how long did it take?
Whenever I smoke I feel I get almost a sickly washed out appearance. It’s like I develop really dark circles, pale lips/face & an overall “dazed weak” look in my eyes until I sober up. Could it be from smoking flower? Or is marijuana actually dropping blood pressure, etc.? How did your face change physically when you stopped smoking for a period of time?
Lately I’ve been paying closer attention to how weed affects me, and I don’t like what I’m noticing.
When I smoke, I get lazy, unmotivated, and stuck in my head overthinking everything. I can also feel physically off—weak, anxious, sometimes even uncomfortable in my body. But once the high wears off, I usually feel clearer, more like myself, and more grounded again.
The problem is I still end up going back to it out of boredom, even though I know it tends to make me feel worse overall. I keep wishing I could have the positive, relaxed experience other people seem to get, but that’s rarely how it goes for me.
I’m starting to feel like I want to stop for good, but I’m stuck in that cycle of knowing it doesn’t help me, yet still returning to it.
For those who have quit, did you notice a real improvement after the initial adjustment period? Did your motivation, energy, and sense of self come back?
I don’t drink or use anything else, so I’m really hoping to figure out what life feels like without weed. I think I’m ready to find out who I am sober.
