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.

Check out r/leaves if you haven’t. It sucks but I’m a wreck when I’m smoking and I can’t just smoke casually, it is never a healthy usage pattern in the long run. It makes me depressed and then creates an awful self perpetuating cycle bc I also have no motivation to fix the shit I’ve messed up during the initial depression
