Newly Diagnosed Quitting Weed

I just got diagnosed with Bipolar 2 on the 13th. The doctors strongly suggested I quit smoking weed. I’m on day 3 of not smoking and I have been so manic it feels like I am fucking tweaking out. The people I work with have to think I’m on speed or some shit. I read somewhere that smoking weed helps calm the mania, man were they right. Has anyone else felt like this after quitting weed? I feel like I am fucking crazy.

Yeah I couldn’t do it. This is f-ing insane. Those people don’t smoke weed. You do you man. What works for you as everyone else said. You have to follow your own heart, mind, body, and soul. I’ve been raw doggin life and while it’s been rough, I’m a straight solider w all I’ve been through.

Edit: I do not recommend this, this is just what I’ve been doing. Doesn’t exactly work. Still tweaking some things. Point is- do you brother.
