I just wanted to drop you a line, to mention that cannabis can cause depression. it can definitely cause depression for a while in those who attempt to quit using it. it is actually (in my opinion), quite a deceiving drug in how it affects the user, often with them oblivious to what it is doing to them behind the scenes. I'm speaking from first hand experience here btw.
Happy new year btw... I hope that you have started to feel a little better since your last post. I might not have a lot to offer you at this time, I just wanted to say that I've read your thread and feel for you. Break ups are very painful (and in my opinion stressful). The saying that time heals all wounds, is corny, but my experience has slowly got me to agree with this analogy.
I've not posted on these forums for a while, but it's probably time that I did again. connecting with others does help to take some of the feelings of loneliness away, even if it's only for a while. The comment you made about feeling like every day is a chore, and that you only waste time until the next day, I also feel this way at this time. Mental health issues for me have rendered me unemployed for a lengthy period of time, they've also over time, eroded most of my friendships, so I can definitely relate to you is what I'm trying to say.
The thing that has probably been the most helpful for me, was to try and build a robust support network; psychologist, social worker and soon, a psychiatrist. It can be hard to start this process if you're dealing with anxiety, possibly fear around reaching out etc, but it has proven to me to be really helpful in me trying to overcome the seemingly ever-lasting crippling low mood that amongst other things, I've been wrestling with. enough about me.
I hope that my reply has been of some comfort and/or use to you. If you feel like reaching out to me, you're more than welcome to.
Best wishes,
Hope4tomorrow.
