Do you two mind me asking if you have any other mental illness along with BP? I wonder if that plays a part as well since I don't exactly have an anxiety disorder I have bpd which my thought patterns cause me anxiety but most often those anxiety provoking thoughts are not real so when I smoke it goes away since it calms my thinking

A friend of mine who to our knowledge does not have any mental illness becomes extremely anxious from weed and can't use it at all. Personally I felt that way in the beginning but most of my anxiety came from being worried about getting arrested for smoking so I never do it in public to this day.
