Stopped smoking in mid-April
I (23m) had been a chronic THC concentrate user for about 2.5 years. Always had a dab pen on me when I was out, and my free time was spent getting baked into oblivion. What finally made me quit was the onset of breathing difficulties, and gut motility issues.
The night I had decided enough was enough, I was wheezing as I tried to fall asleep, and my stomach/small intestine was bloated to the point that it was pressing against my diaphragm. From that point, I quit cold turkey; there has been only two isolated instances of smoking since then, and they both made me feel like I was going to crawl out of my skin like some human-shaped insect.
Since quitting, I have experienced a myriad of symptoms that I struggle to explain. They are constantly on my mind, and I struggle not to obsess over them or connect dots that paint them to be something serious or life threatening. For context, I have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety, treatment resistant depression, and ADHD, so spirals are easy to fall into.
Symptoms I experience are: shortness of breath and a tight feeling in my chest, indigestion, further GI motility issues, brain fog, high heart rate, poor sleep quality, memory laspes, irritability, worsened anxiety, emotional bluntness/disconnect, and more that I'm most likely forgetting about. In all honesty, these may have been thinfs that were occurring during my use of THC; my psychiatrist has explained that THC makes it really easy to push aside negative emotions and sensations. I have been to my primary care office about once a month since May, and I have referrals to GI specialists and will be pursuing more.
How do you all cope with these things? The anxiety, the worry that you'll never be the same, and above all, the physical discomfort. Is there any specific path to feeling OK in my body again, or do I just wait for things to clear up, if they ever do?
TL,DR; Having chronic symptoms crop up after quitting weed (maybe during, timeline is fuzzy), and I'm afraid of never feeling OK again.
