![]() I’m more sensitive to small discomforts and when fatigue hits, it’s more like wall than a fog. It’s helped my depression and fatigue but now I am fully aware I am in an unaltered, painful physical state. I’m happier being 100% sober overall, but my pain is NOT better. My bipolar symptoms worsened with the switch and I didn’t notice really much improvement in my physical pain state.Īfter several years and quick stop in the mental hospital (where I started smoking again…), I quit edible and cigarettes for good (9 months ago now!) and found meds that stabilized my bipolar. I was a heavy smoker (pack a day +) and switched to edible as I began the quit process because my RA symptoms were really bad despite being on biological and DMARDs. I was coping with my pain and my uncontrolled (but diagnosed) bipolar so while I’m out alcohol down completely, I immediately switched to cannabis which grew quickly from an after-work/evening-time pleasure to an all-day, everyday habit rather quickly. Primarily alcohol since I was in my early twenties until I was on the cusp of 30, which is when I quit. I’ve struggled with substance abuse for many years. I also have RA which was a large driving force in quitting cigarettes (again…) I have gone from heavy, all-day, daily spliff use to all-day, daily edible use only to nothing over the past few years as I’ve journeyed to being cigarette-free and stabilized on the correct medications for bipolar disorder. ![]()
