Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I made an earlier post about weed titled "Does weed effect us differently?". I think I may have misjudged the situation. I had a bad trip on my first try, but I ended up smoking the rest and also tried "delta 8" (basically the same a weed). I ended up having a really good experience, but now I'm worried I may like it too much. I can't decide if I should completely abstain or not.
on the one hand, it is illegal in my state, It would be an extra expense, and I don't really accomplish anything meaningful when I'm high. on the other hand, it makes my depression much more livable, and I spend most of my time playing video games, so is being high any worse?
I've spent so much of my life buying into all the rhetoric about weed. I can't tell if my misgivings are mostly just from all that old BS or if it's actually justified. I feel like I would be letting people down. My mom was the source of most of that rhetoric, and for good reason. My dad abused both alcohol and weed for many many years. Thankfully he is sober now, but that anti-weed mentality that he created still lingers.
IDK! I'm all tied up in knots about it! to smoke, or not to smoke! That is the question!

"I had a bad trip on my first try"
"I'm worried I may like it too much"
"it is illegal in my state"
"It would be an extra expense"
"I don't really accomplish anything meaningful when I'm high"
"My dad abused both alcohol and weed for many many years."
What would you say?
It seems to me that you are only doing this because you've got nothing more positive to do, so maybe try and find something more meaningful that will do that actually makes you feel better? You can't really do that while you are high and when you are not high you are back where you started.
Plus all the stuff about it will interfere with your meds, it can give you cancer etc etc.
You could always talk with your pdoc about it as well... Big hug....xo
having had more time, here's my thoughts: maybe weed in not right for me, but delta 8 might be. It's legal, it's cheap, and I'm more clear minded on it than with weed. I also think part of my misuse of weed had to do with it being new and exciting. I had a somewhat similar experience with alcohol. once the novelty of the experience wore off, I was able to easily moderate my drinking.
Oh yeah this sound wwaaayy better than weed. Its not federally legal and its just a slightly weaker version of THC.
I know week might not be a problem for others.., I wouldn't play with fire. If you have feelings of sadness perhaps an appointment with a general practioner or psychiatrist could be beneficial.
Weed has brought so much missery in my life that I dislike it to say the least .!
