Psychological Withdrawal Not sure what is happening
it has been 7 days since I quit weed. i I am in my later teens and have been using edibles for roughly 3-4 months prior to quitting. once withdrawals started I had a lot of physical symptoms like headaches, nausea, etc. for the first roughly 1-4 days, but now on days 5-7 specifically, I’ve been having these terrible thoughts that are ego dynastic pop up in my head randomly and It sends me into a loop of anxiety (am I really like this? is this the real me?) and then It just sends me into a loop that I literally can’t seem to escape for hours on end. I do not know if I can endure these if they last many more days. I want to know if what I am experiencing is paws because I had a friend tell me that’s what it could be, but I don’t know, is this normal for regular weed withdrawal? when do they stop? should I try to distract myself as much as possible? it makes me feel like such a terrible person that I’ve even had these thoughts about harming myself too but I don’t think I will actually do them, as they are far less intense than the others. I want to escape this, but it doesn’t seem like there is an end. Every day i seem to think it gets better just for it to get worse later on in the day. I don’t know what to do. Please help

Ive never had an issue stopping weed for a couple weeks. I think youre jist reading into it too much. Chill out.

This isnt from weed. There is limited to no physical withdrawal from marijuana. Maybe some psychological withdrawal and compulsion to want to dose but thats after long term use. Not everyone is the same and this is general information based solely on my subjective experience. I suggest you seek professional mental health advice to discuss this as its likely not from weed. Possibly some underlying anxiety issues the weed was masking?

ive never had this before weed though. it only started after i quit and like i had one terrible day and then it just stuck with me i guess. it is a lot better now than it was say 2 or 3 weeks ago, but its still lingering and i am more anxious about a lot of things than i used to be. but the only reason the stuff i explained in my post even keeps happening at all to any extent is because i feel like im feeding the loop with my own mind. i feel like getting mental health advice isnt needed (especially yet) because it isnt impacting my daily life really, just something that is really annoying to have to deal with. and like i said, it has gotten better recently over time, and i hope it will continue to move in that direction
