Something wrong with my head

**Posts:** 8 · by **weedquitter85** » Tue Jun 28, 2016 9:15 pm

Hello People,
After suffering from my problem for over 1.5 years now I have decided to post and see if someone has an idea whats going on with me.I will try keep it as short as possible.

It all started when I quit weed for the second time after smoking for couple of months.
My first attempt on quitting weed after smoking 10 joints a day for 8 years,not to mention the reason why I decided to quit,was 3 years ago.I quit it successfully for about 6 months,and to be very surprising I was totally normal in about 4 months(like I never took a puff of weed in my life),then boom I relapsed and started smoking again thinking nothing is wrong in smoking and I can quit it again whenever I want to,which I did again in about 4 months.

Now here comes the problem,the day I quit the second time I started monitoring myself 24x7 as in how I am feeling and stressed myself completely with keeping a track on my improvement .So when I quit I felt a bit heavy headed for a few days and got normal very quick,BUT even after that I keep telling my brain that I needed to feel better(which was unnecessary) and when I stress too much about it,
anxiety or I dont know what it is , feeling of heavy headed ,pressure behind my head,fatigue,not able to think clearly,loss of focus,irritability happens.This feeling stays with me for atleast a week.It gets better a bit every days and takes almost 7 days to go completely.After 7 days I start feeling completely normal and relaxed.
After getting back with life when I am over this phase I stay good for 4 to 5 days then it hits me again ,then again it takes me several days to recover.Now the same chain is stuck with me for 2+ years now.7 good days 7 bad days,its pathetic.
Now people I know for sure its not because of weed and its because of that thought of keeping my mind in check.
I know if I get rid of that thought that head pressure wont come back but I cant

.
Now after this practice I have somewhat controlled my thoughts to not worry about it,but it seems like my brain has created a pattern of falling into this heavy headed thing.It comes out of no reason.
First time when i quit weed it was with help of so many wonderful people here ,I want to mention again ,I know for sure its not because of weed I had years ago.

Can someone help me in advising what kind of illness is it,or what kind of Anxiety is this?
Should I go on medication?
Hope I was able to explain what it is ,really complicated.

Any help will be highly appreciated.
Many Many Thanks

This forum is a useful place! Yet you've got a health pattern that could be a number of other things. And it's been going on for quite a while. Self diagnosing right now does not seem wise. Nor is getting someone on a public forum to diagnose you based on the aspects you think of sharing. I encourage you to see a doctor and go through a process of answering the doctor's many questions. There may turn out to be simple things the doctor can suggest. Not everything gets answered with medication.

Hi sweetie. You can talk to your your doctor to clear your mind. I feel & have felt everything u feel. I suffered with the pressure thing since I was 14 now 28 & after all those test & hospital visits it took a spiritual rekki practitioner to explain to me it was anxiety symptoms also a therapist told me as well. My pressure would be in my ears, top of my head, behind my ears & temples. I thought I all this time I suffered with migraine disease..nope severe anxiety. Also whenever I quit a medication cold turkey I will have those same feelings..withdrawal symptoms my friend, withdrawal from any dependency could make you feel like crap, they will come & go until your bio chemistry & emotional balances out. Idk if your a spiritual person but rekki, mindfulness meditation, chakras cleansing, funny movies, Disney channel (don't judge) & nature really helps. Sometimes in this world we forget to pay attention to our spirit, mind, body & soul. Also talk to people who stopped smoking ciggs cold turkey omg the withdrawal effects are horrible. Still check with ur doctor 2 ease ur mind also a therapist or spiritual counselor. Peace & many blessings my friend. You are loved;) namaste.

Well if you smoke weed from such a long time even if you quit the toxins are present in your blood and when you quit you have bad simptoms..You must make a detox to heal yourself

If you come off weed then re experience new things in sober mind state. On weed they can be desensitized.

Well my friend and i were also hooked on joints for quite a long time. I managed to control it and stop whenever i want but he is still hooked mostly because of the company he is in.
What youre experiencing is a side effect of smoking weed for that long. The best thing you can do is see a doctor and see what the best way is to fix this.

Yea but then he needs to find good doctor because general public doctors don't know so much about weed and it's effects. I think change of environment can be super helpful.

What you have done is Amazing !! quieting after all these years and with the amounts u used to smoke is just AWESOME !

Dont take my next words as judging but i believe the 7 days on 7 days off thingy is a bipolar disorder caused by a chronic stress, also i would think u might be a perfectionist and a self disciplinary and the way u said ur story is very analytical and based on facts only, thinking this way will feel logical to you but it is not effective and i think it will not help you because ur mind is part of the problem.
Imagine ur self being responsible for a whole team of football, u r the striker, the goal keeper, the defense and play maker, you will be able to perform every role perfectly and very satisfactory but u wont be able to coordinate it all together to won a real match against a complete football team, although all roles has been performed perfectly and assured personally by you but it still wont work, because there is a 3 party in the equation which is in this example the Audience , the observers , the role where u can see the whole story neutrally without being effected by emotions to see the whole picture, ur mind wont be able to have this role without shutting ur self emotionally (shutting ur self emotionally is considered sickness

)
so how about visiting a doctor ? and observe him being the observer of your self battling , see his point of view and accept his opinions and put them to test and see if it would improve u

, i am very optimistic that it will help you a great deal because u have what it takes already and u only need to see it from the observer's point of view to collect the pieces together, thats all...... worth trying and u will enjoy the experience
