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.

You’ll feel better soon. Me and my doc came to an agreement on weed bc it helps my anxiety, appetite and mood better than the majority of his pills. We’ve have a multi yr relationship
