A few questions on addiction and mental side effects.?
Question by ThisPride: A few questions on addiction and mental side effects.?
Okay. Well, i guess this is step one. I mean, i dont in any way consider myself a drug addict, but then again ive been high everyday (basically) for about 2 years. It started off when i discovered marijuana, which i didnt do frequently at first. Personnally, i think weed is great as long as you dont use it as a entrance drug. Or more so use it to gain entry to other drugs. Well for 2 years, i just smoked a little bit. Then a close friend of mine died, and i started smoking cig’s heavily. Since then 2 more of my friends have passed away (bare in mind, im 19, and this is all within THIS year, and they are all roughly the same age as me).
Currently, i find myself doing mdma, ecstacy, various painkillers, but only because its hard to cope, i feel as if my brain is damaged. I feel as if, its me against the world. Ive lost all contact with all the bestfriends ive ever had. I dont trust nobody. I have paranoia. I havent been in a relationship in a long time, just because whenever i get close to someone, i feel like they have ‘something on me’. Thats the extent of my paranoia.
I guess im only realizing this mostly, because i have no drugs right now. I just identified big time. I mean, its mostly that i smoke to much. 4-5gs a day. But when i can get my hands on something else, i find myself tempted. And i make the worst excuses for why i do the things i do. Like, that the world is a messed up place which it is. but i mean. I have nothing right now to calm my nerves, and all i can think is negative things. Not suicidal thoughts, but i feel on edge. Even violent.
Currently, im basically sober. And i feel as if i need something to calm my nerves. Is there something i can get prescribed to me, to help paranoia and anxiety? I mean, i understand you shouldnt replace a drug, with another drug.
I just need some real guidance. From someone who understands where im coming from. Im not trying to be insulted, dont reply if you have nothing nice to say.

Seek therapy.
The first step is admitting to a problem and next that problem is not marijuana and the problem is not that you smoke so much. Most marijuana smokers are not dulling the pain (unless medically speaking) they are enjoying the high! Find help for that pain!
