Alright, please take this seriously because i need help. Ok, I am 16 years old and finally decided to stop smoking marijuana just about a month ago because i became terribly depressed. I have only been smoking for around a year on and off. Some weeks i would smoke 5 times a week and others i wouldn't smoke at all. I am still feel like my head is really messed up. These are some of the symptoms that are occurring….
-lost personality
-lack of social skills
-low confidence
-stress
-negative thoughts
-feeling like theirs nothing to live for
-sleeping for most of the day
-bad anxiety
-cant focus
-mood swings
-irritable
-anger
-nervousness
-lost friends
-no memory
The reason i have concluded is that im not really depressed anymore but i just have no working memory. I can hardly remember everything i did yesterday and i have not smoked in over a month!
I feel like my memory is affected all these symptoms because i forgot who i really am and what i did that made me be myself. I cant even think straight half the time. I believe marijuana did this to me because there are no underlying problems. I also believe it could be Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome. If anyone has any idea how i could fix my memory/problems please help. I would like to find a way to get a prescription to help with my memory. I don't know weather i should see a doctor or therapist. Please give your advice, thank you.
Suggestion:
Hey man,
I think you have made the right choice to quit using pot. Marijuana, like any drug, is not something to use lightly.
I am more concerned about your mental health right now. If the last time you smoked weed was a month ago, the THC in your system should be out of your system (maybe some lingering in your fatty tissue but unlikely). Go see your Dr/GP. Explain your symptoms. He/she will make a referal if necessary.
Not to freak you out, marijuana use has been correlated to the onset of schizophrenia in some cases but as we know correlation does not equal causation. One of the best things you can do for yourself right now is call up some friends and get outside (non weed smoking friends or at least ones that support your efforts giving it up). You will be surprised how your body will react positvely to exercise and diet.
All the best to you. Hope you find some answers.
