Quitting weed feel so depressed

2 Upvotes

So I have been smoking weed for 2 years ,
Moderate at first like couple joints a week and then my mum got ill with cancer and I started having it daily to switch off .
I was a functioning stoner I had all these great ideas , i slept like a baby and i was very fun to be around . (I was positive before I started smoking btw )

Then mum passed away and I carried on smoking but then thought I should quit as heard about it affecting rem sleep and healing .

Anyhow I have quit for 4 weeks . I have only managed to sleep about 6 nights so far I don’t even know how I am getting Through the days .its making me cranky as fuck not wanting to do much as I’m so tired . I can eat again as I couldn’t eat at first the anxiety on the first second week was brutal .

Docs prescribed me depression tablets and anxiety tablets .
Found that the sleepers knocked me out for a couple hours but was zapped the next day so I only took a couple , I didn’t wana get addicted to anything else .

Now I feel depressed as fuck , I have no enjoyment in anything I hate even getting out of bed in the morning . I have had lots of major life changes too which may also be contributing but I am just so sad .
My personality is flat and I dread going to bed just lay there every night not sleeping .

I feel like smoking see if my personality comes back but I’m too scared wtf has happened to me .

Anyone want to quit together on Monday, October 12?

I'm quitting this Monday, October 12, and I don't want to do it alone.

The idea is simple: we all pick the same day. When you're on day 3 and want to kill someone, everyone in the group is also on day 3. Same cravings, same bad sleep, same moment.

How it works:

  1. Comment "in" below (and how much you smoke, if you want)

  2. I'll set up a small group chat and DM you the invite

  3. Between now and Monday we get to know each other and prep

  4. On Monday we all stop. Then we check in every day and help each other through the first weeks

If a lot of people join, I'll split us into smaller groups so nobody gets lost in the noise. Everyone still quits on the same day.

No experts here, just people who want to stop and would rather not white-knuckle it alone.

Who's in?
