I’ve been depressed for the past 3 years and dealing with anxiety which also caused IBS issues since I was 17 years old. Now in my mid 20s, I usually smoke weed to calm down and relax and honestly it works for me. I know some people think it’s wrong and it’s a gateway drug and it’ll lead down a bad path. I personally didn’t believe I would be person to be that foolish but for some reason I can’t help but feel like it’s slowly turning into a hard habit. I’ve been buying more because I go through it faster than usual, I barely see my friends who don’t smoke because after a couple hours I get anxious and have the urge to smoke. I know how I can cut down with my medical situation but right now I’m having a hard time staying out longer and enjoying the day/night with my friends or family. I used to enjoy it and now I feel stuck and it irks me so much because I miss being me. I feel like I can’t figure out how to get back to her again.
