Hello 🩷 I have been smoking weed now for about 20years. The last 10years very heavily.I quit one month ago, I am really struggling with moods, depression and nightmares. My brain just isn't coping during the day from the nights. I think im getting enough sleep , but if given the chance I crash out during the day. I'm constantly tired and sad. Does anyone have any inspiration stories of similar to help me keep moving forward and staying off the weed. I have past experiences with anti anxiety and anti depression tablets but I seem to be worse. I have seen my gp but unfortunately the help offered isn't working.I suffer very bad anxiety and depression which is worsening since quitting. I have no motivation and feel like life isn't worth living anymore. I have had thoughts of ending my life due to the anxiety and not coping with the feeling I get. My family means alot to me so leaving them behind in this world seems far to selfish. I don't like living like this. I am healthy, I am in a wonderful relationship with a beautiful 12yr old step daughter but I'm always worrying about things I don't need too. I try and stay busy in hope this helps, but its worsens. I work about 2 hrs a day on a very casual schedule as I work for myself. I walk, I exercise etc but lately all I want to do is sleep. My head hurts maybe my its my brain from the nightmares. I'm hoping someone can shead on light on this and let me know it'll all ease up soon. I've always been a believer that weed wouldnt have withdrawal symptoms. I feel so stressed and sad. I have not felt happy in a very long time almost years. Weed wasn't making me happy anymore and I feel smoking it has created my panic attacks and anxiety.Thank you for this opportunity of hope 🩷

I've struggled on and off with anxiety for 11 years, and I'm currently going through another tough time. I see a psychologist every 6 weeks, but she's away at the moment, and I won't see her until late November. I'm scared I won't cope for that long:... View more

I've struggled on and off with anxiety for 11 years, and I'm currently going through another tough time. I see a psychologist every 6 weeks, but she's away at the moment, and I won't see her until late November. I'm scared I won't cope for that long: I'm not eating, I'm so very tired, and I'm not motivated.I think I understand what has triggered my current episode, and I believe what I'm experiencing is processing the feelings from my recent trigger. It's been almost two weeks now and these feelings aren't going away. I've just upped my medication and hoping the change will kick in soon.Does anyone else experience long bouts of depression after anxiety? Is this normal?Does anyone have any tips for getting through this next few weeks? I'm fortunate to be on leave at the moment but have to return to work next week, and I'm so worried I'm not going to cope.Thank you.

I feel so ashamed and embarrassed. I had a baby 10 months ago and I think I have severe anxiety. I have nearly destroyed my relationship, by constant worry that my partner is cheating, saying that he doesn’t love me, and by pretty much being a horrible person. I feel like a failure, I don’t know where to start to get help. I’ve tried all the online advice, meditation, exercise self care. But continue to get worse. I literally had to beg my partner for one last chance. What do I do. I’m so ashamed and feel like such a failure. Please help

When I have to make a decision or ask a question I get very confused. Because I have had mental health issues since I was a little girl, I have never trusted in myself to make the right decisions or say the right words. I still feel like that same little girl who never spoke up or made a decision. I'm scared my mental health issues are influencing what I say or do, and that what I say or do may not be normal. Most recent example was a few weeks ago on this forum, I read a reply to the original poster and I was so upset by what they said. I remembered thinking I should report it but was worried that I may have misinterpreted it so I did nothing. I found the post again a few weeks later, as I had decided to report it to the moderators, only to find the offensive reply had already been removed. I hate myself for not actioning it at the time as I know it hurt this young woman. I can't seem to trust myself with anything. Sorry if this post doesn't make sense.

glandular fever I hope everyone here are well. I’m writing to discuss something that has been on my mind regarding my health and well-being. About five years ago, I was diagnosed with glandular fever but never have any symptoms Recently, I’ve come across some information suggesting that reinfection i like this can potentially lead to long-term effects or difficulties later in life. I have been through google and some reliable website as they mentioned ebv the virus that cause mono can lead so many dangerous conditions.Since reading this, I’ve found myself feeling increasingly anxious about how my experience with glandular fever might be affecting me now. I’d appreciate your guidance on whether there are any lingering impacts I should be aware of or things I can do to manage this concern. If there are any recommended steps, screenings, or referrals that could ease my anxiety, I’d be grateful for your advice.

My mum moved away earlier this year for a job and because she met someone there. for the most part i’m happy for her but my depression has been getting worse as of a result of her moving. i just turn 20 and im living alone with my 15 year old brother as she’s gone for 2 or maybe more years. I have seen people say call every day or plan visits to see her but she has told me she didn’t want me to call her every day and she’s in a place that isn’t that easy to visit whenever (she’s regional) and i also have work. i’m not sure what to do anymore my depression is getting worse. i’m constantly upset and it has resulted in a few self harm incidents. i feel like im losing myself. she was my best friend and it’s hard to lose someone who was always there for you and then isn’t anymore and it hurts because i know she doesn’t feel the same way and me getting worse has only made our relationship suffer. i have been told to see a doctor but im scared ill be medicated and my mum has told me the side effect do make your symptoms of depression and anxiety worse for a while and i don’t trust myself to not do something stupid if my depression gets worse and i have no one at home. i have been trying to work on myself taking walks, listening to self help videos but i only get upset back where i started after a while.
