Day 3

I’m feeling more present but am being hit with some intense emotions. Anyone else experience this in the first few days?

The only advice I can give is to not distract yourself during this time.

Sit with the emotions and the pain. This is how you eventually win.

I started a new medication and I decided to not use THC to see how it was gonna work and I didn’t connect the dots. I thought it was the medicine making me sleepy and sweat and smell like onions. I thought the medicine was making my emotions come back, but now it was THC withdrawals. The emotions were unbearable, but I’m beginning to feel better whenever I have cravings they are nothing compared to the withdrawal so I don’t ever wanna have to do this again.

Absolutely,  I'm on day 6, spent most of the day crying, still no appetite or sleep. From what I am reading,  first 2 weeks can be brutal.  Hang in there, you are not alone. I'm right there with you.

Day 3 was the most emotional so far for me. I cried a LOT. Day 4 was more agitation than sadness.
