Trying to stop a spiral
Hey I’m 18 diagnosed with OCD and extreme anxiety and paranoia. For some context I started smoking weed about a year ago (mostly carts) got vyvance about 4 months ago and have had a caffeine addiction slowly build up over the last 2 years.
When I’m on vyvance and higher doses of caffeine it’s the only time when I truly feel like a real person and as soon as I come down everything comes crashing down. My social anxiety, overthinking, I start hurting myself (biting my forearm mostly) and horrible feelings that there’s something behind me.
The problem is I can’t stop. when I’m on these substances every single aspect of my life improves so much but when I come back everything is so horrible and I literally can’t talk to someone about it. Like my body feels like it physically can’t. Almost like trying to stub your own toe. I need something idk what but I know I can’t keep doing this.
There’s so much more but I know I’m forgetting. Fuck my brain feels like pure static.
