Drug mention, MH, +~
Well, I ended up abandoning the sobriety thing.
Nightmares and intense dreams were too much and my anxiety was spiking up to 2018 levels.
So, back to weed. However, I am using a 4:1 vape and it honestly chills me out and nukes anxiety more effectively than my 'use as needed' anxiety meds.
Plus, sleep.
However, I am keeping it primarily to "as needed" versus a method for sleep and function every night and trying to find a nice balance with things.
And 1:1s for occasional recreational use of course.
Social, Mood, +
Been actually crawling out of my shell today to socialize. Spending time with my roommate out, meeting up with local Arizona dragons. Yesterday went hiking and spent time out with a snout I've known for a decade.
Going out seems to be good for me, and I might finally stop being as much of a hermit like I have for years... Slowly.
Excited to see my partner soon too. 2 weeks and I can just collapse in their arms for a week away from everything. I really need that.
And in turn I'm slowly discovering it's okay to actually take time for myself and treat myself well.
Mental Health, ~, Question, Drug mention
I've realized I've been, over the last week or so what feels like a constant state of derealization and depersonalization.
I can tell I love my partner, I enjoy my friends, and my life is generally going well but everything feels fake, far away, distant, like it isn't my own.
Does anyone else get this?
I believe it more or less manifested after my immense hypochondria issue and after I've laid off weed for a long period of time and wondering if that's the THC not in my system anymore.
It's just such a strange feeling, like constantly being in a dream.
