How to overcome depression after quitting smoking weed 

In fact, the best time to learn about how to deal with depression after you've quit smoking weed is to learn all the information whilst you're actually smoking the weed. Sounds counter-intuitive but it works.

Im still addicted, looking to quit before my 21st bday in a couple weeks, you can do it just set yourself a time and see it through even if its 3 days just get through those 3 days, even then it’s an accomplishment

You can do it bro, I’m 13 days clean today after years of smoking daily and I feel so much better The first few days feel impossible but if you fight through them it gets better

Same smoking a 2 gram fatty with oil/kief being like I'll quit tomorrow

You can absolutely do it, never thought I'd make it to 12 days, started my journey with this channel...and I can tell you though the first few days might seem difficult...it gets better and later on you'd wonder why it seemed so impossible

If you're on day 8 without having planned to quit, we're not the same 😂

Hang in on day 15. The pain is healing. Just remember you are not dying. You can do this. I’m sleeping again. Anxiety has stopped. I feel goood. Walk a lot. Deep breathing helps. CBD oil is a big help

@@Expect_Delayz please stay on this path I can’t tell you how beautifully my life has changed. ✊🏼🙌🏼🙏

Congratulations brother I'm day 16 🎉🙏

Yes!!

Look at that!

Good luck, best wishes! 21. day for me!

@@Lentreeo same here 😍

Me to. I'm done being a slave to weed. Hope you're doing better.

I never looked at it like being a slave until recently, it's good to know that I am not alone with that @@GodisGracious1

Well I relapsed when a good friend died recently. I also relapsed alcohol. Got myself a nice little DUI and hit my rock bottom. I finally surrendered to my addiction. I am currently on day 2 again. Withdrawals last night, couldn’t sleep, sweating, weird dreams, body aches.

@@Geniemoonjannahu got this bro 🫶 really struggling with the depression and insomnia rn only on day 4 smh. Feels like u really stop and realize all the problems in life.

I know the feeling day bye day it gets easier I believe you can quit weed for good

You got this buddy! You are the only one who gets to decide when you get to be happy, the weeds time stealing your joy is over. Please stay strong I know your comment was over a month ago. Don't be afraid to reach out for support. I know I'm a random person but I am dealing with the same thing and life without weed is essential for me. I can't function while high and it causes physcosis... stay strong and much love❤

It will get better my friend. Even if you lapse or relapse, don’t give up, just start over. Depression is the hardest part for me too. I have tried to quit literally over a hundred times and failed, but I still haven’t given up. I’m three days sober but thats nothing to brag about lol. When I get sober I realize that I have a lot of negative fear based beliefs about myself and the world that don’t serve me at all or simply aren’t true. Those beliefs are what always lead me back to weed. In observing the lack of logic in these beliefs, then consciously choosing better ones, we can slowly begin to dismantle them. Good luck my friend, keep fighting the good fight. Much love 💜

My expierience is I keep coming back to it no matter what... be grateful for being able to hold the urge, it may feel like nothing is getting better. But the happiness when you return to normal is real.

Right there with you. Only thing that gives me any relief is my relationship with God

When did you feel better

U got this man

This comment is awesome God Bless

Thank you for posting. It helped me today.

@@alicebowie9474Poor thing. Get yourself some good chocolate, your body is craving cannabinoids. Chocolate is chock full of cannabinoids, especially dark chocolate.

I believe you can quit weed for good

I'm on day 10 and I hate everyone and everything right now. It's so miserable idk what to do or think.

@@Tambrose0405 I get you!

@@Godisfirst21 I'm on day 5 & losing my mind and feel hopeless. . .

you need to travel see hear and feel beautiful things

@@HevahaB What a beautiful message to recieve. Thank you.

Also is it normal for my chest to be hurting sometimes even though I’m not smoking anymore it mostly happens during day time anyone knows ?

@@dreamdollmiami1585 you should see a doctor. I've had to quit weed for up to a year for work related reasons and that's never happened to me. And I am a heavy smoker, I'm talking no less than 4 grams a day. You should definitely get that checked out just to be safe.

@@DivinityAwakened i did and they told me it wasn’t anything so I suppose it’s just my body getting rid of it cuz I been doing vape and weed for almost 2 years I’m talking 5-8 blunts a day

@@dreamdollmiami1585 ahhhhhh. Yea you were a tobacco smoker. Tobacco will do that to you lmao

i have chest pain and some pain/tightness in my heart area, but the doc said my health was perfect... probably just the body getting rid of things i guess

Keep on going!!

@@Javier.Williams thank you for your encouragement! Almost 3 months sober now. Sending love to you on your journey as well

Hows ur journey?

I'm on day 3 and its insanely hard for me. I feel like I'm at war with myself. As a veteran who has become dependent on it I'm in a very dark and lonely place. I find myself constantly contemplating eating my shotgun to the face most days. It's a very terrible hopeless feeling.

I’m on day 18 today! I hope you’re still keeping with it! We’re all proud 👏🏼👏🏼

@@Jayhawk_Nationhope you are ok man, I love you bro

@R1chInSpirit Doing my best to thrive my man. 1 day at a time.

How did it go?

Update? ❤

Thank you! It means the world to me, I’m glad your recovery journey is going well!

10000% agreed this is a very very long play method

I relapsed after 7 months the longest I ever stopped and it took another four months to stop I’m one month clean feel a lot stronger!

Meat isn't unhealthy though. It has lots of vitamins and minerals that are essential during any drug withdrawal.

@@carnivoroussarah Unless you’re growing your own meat, you’re eating chemicals. For example, Do you know what gives steak 🥩 the “pretty red color” weeks after the cow has been slaughtered? Do you think carbon monoxide is safe to consume?

@@Rmedia360absolute rubbish.

Did you ?

Same I’m 15 I’m on day 4 it was really though for me but I did it cold turkey because when I stopped I felt CHS Symptoms so bad the first days and the pain honestly makes me not want to smoke again

@@lluna305 how are you doing ?

@@tayshawntsay been doing really good I’m about to make it to 10 days I’ve been enjoying nature a lot recently wbu?

Same!!!! Day 16 for me.. We so got this mate xx

On day 18 now! How are you doing?

Man I started smoking again for that reason. I was 4 months clean and still feeling the same thing. Extreme vivid nightmares every time i went to sleep. It was horrible. I hope u still strong 💪

@@mathewbeats2658 nah that's not the reason if you gone 4 months there is some other issue

Think of it this way. You may have been using weed to hide from your own emotions / things in your life that cause you stress and anxiety, and all of those vivid dreams are your body’s way of purging all of that bad juju out. I know it seems like it will never end, and when sleep is so important it makes quitting so hard, but I promise each dream is just your body regurgitating bad feelings you’ve been hiding from.

How’s it going?

Anytime Sarah glad you found it when you needed it

Anytime!

@@richardlawson6787 Tomorrow will be a month clean from weed. Between going to the gym 5-6 times a week, and practicing piano and French daily I’m feeling pretty content without weed at this point. Thanks for the pointer though!

I am 2 and one half and yes. sleep is good but depression is around. the world in 2022 doesn't help

@@rockfantasysteve The world in 2023 is even worse; we’re on the brink of war at this point. 🥲

seems to me like you should distance yourself from people who partake in the habits you are so desperately trying to remove from your life. try and find some comfort in your own mind and the little things that make you happy and feel like yourself. take it easy man really seems like you are going through a difficult time and some feelings of depression anxiety loneliness are almost inevitable. and most importantly you aren’t alone my guy!

@@marshallrain1380 thanks I appreciate that but I can't afford to take any time off work so I'm going to be surrounded by stoners. It is what it is.

@@uncoolcat95 if it makes you feel any better I work a trade job, with a bunch of stoners and alcoholics and I am on my day 4 so I am struggling with the same thing

@@uncoolcat95 I wanted to reach out and let you know I'm praying for you. Your gonna get through this and be free of addiction!! Keep reminding yourself of the type of amazing person you long to return to. Your gonna make it!!

Listen carefully...you must replace a bad habit with a good one...learn how to jog...start slow...when you can run two or three miles kiss that depression and anxiety bye bye...jogging releases your body's natural endocabinolds...it's called runners high ..you ain't ever had a high like a runners high ..please give it a try

Music is my passion, but since I've quit smoking, I don't feel motivated to even do what I love anymore. It sucks honestly.

I hope you're doing better now. I think sometimes crying, or letting the emotion out can help a bit. I know when I'm at max capacity in my brain, I need to exert some of it, either through excersise, guitar playing, or flat out crying into a pillow for a bit. I usually feel a bit better afterwords...

@@Jasonm250 this is day 66 and I can't believe how far I've come and how much better I feel. I don't see myself ever going back and I've been able to resist temptation on multiple occasions. I think the reason this time is different than all the other times I relapsed is because I know what to look for now and also know the minute I give in, I will internally beat myself up just like what happened last time. I learned to think of smoking as a spiritual entity trying to entice me and making it look better than it really is, when I know it's true colors and what it does to me.

@Ambrosia how did you work around the anger issue and then the sudden depression? I feel like I go through mood swings

I hate them, I feel like I’m sleeping in a garbage bag.

you are capable of everything what you went trought will make you stronger

Traditional roles have been destroyed in western nations. We are miserable because of this. Marriage and family are the most important things we can do.

@@HevahaB it feels like my brain is just broken now. I’m still as addicted as ever and just taking it a day at a time trying to maintain my sanity.

@@AS-kw5hd it actually feels like the opposite in my case. I’m a trans woman who grew up in a conservative family and environment. The reason I got so addicted was trying to escape the feelings of dysphoria because I repressed too long. If I had lived in a progressive open minded area I could have actually done what would make me happy and give me direction. I could be a part of my community and find a man to love me. I said wife in that comment because people don’t relate with transwomen. You probably think I’m just insane and that’s understandable because I even think I’m insane a lot of the time. If you can’t have what you want you don’t want anything and you just survive as you watch everything fall apart around you.

@@digineet8421 I felt some pain reading this. I have an empathy problem, that gets me in trouble. Psychos and narcissists are attracted to empaths. I stand by what I said about traditional roles. The problem, in my opinion, is that we are born innocent and perfect, but we have family that are so damaged themselves,they basically break our brains. It has nothing to do with them being conservative . Progressive people are highly narcissistic too . Anyways, as a survivor of neglect, I find our reflection of ourselves is damaged and inaccurate . It must be us , we say to ourselves. We must be wrong/bad, because all the adults in my life, made me feel that way. It gets imprinted in our psyche. I think drugs are a way to erase yourselves for a few minutes. I think trans people are trying to erase themselves too. Bare with me , but between the plastics and soy in everything , hormones have been severely disrupted. Add in constant propaganda and the promise of salvation/ happiness if you try and change your gender, many lonely, neglected, people will gravitate to it. Not only do you get to erase yourself, they are telling you, that you will be happy and finally be yourself and at peace . ( Nobody is really at peace all the time, we live on the edge of a knife.) I say you were already perfect as you were born , but you as a little sponge (child) had no one to tell you that and it’s heartbreaking. Everything we hear in the mainstream is lies. Whatever the worst thing that we think they, the government , are capable of, it’s 100 times worse. You gonna spend your whole life trying to change yourself ? It’s a miracle that you were born. A perfect little baby . You were not born wrong. You, as we all do, have a spark of the divine in us How can that be a mistake ? (I’m sorry if my opinion, hurts your feelings. It’s a complicated subject. )

How you doing now?

I was struggling for years with drug addiction, it got so bad I almost divorced my marriage, luckily i was referred to an expert who recommended i microdose Psilocybin mushrooms which helped with my addiction and I’ll forever be grateful ,it’s a slow process but you will eventually make progress in the retrospect, this is 1year and few months sober after many years .

It is. I hate weed it make me more depressed then i was in the first place just like alcohol.

@@AverageJoe1006 I'm still battling temptation. But I'm still sober for 22 days now.

Yep. It's the ONLY reason I use. If I had family friends I wouldn't need drugs

Could just be dehydration but the scientific method says remove the variable. You’ll have to just give it up for a few days at least. Put it this way, it’s not going to kill to you quit. Hope you feel better.

If you're buying crappy ones off the street yes. If they came from a shop highly unlikely

@@Colby_00 thanks

Me too 😢
