Last night was the worst where I had taken some cannabis oil to help with pain and then watched A movie that would likely be considered RA material for screen memories during abuse. I had several mini blackouts in a row and could not determine what was real and what was not. I was afraid to tell any of this to the emergency crew last night that came when I fell out of my doorway screaming for help. I thought I was having a stroke… Or perhaps a psychotic break. It turned out that I simply had too much of the cannabis oil and that along with the triggers from the movie set everything off. It's so frustrating to not have anyone I can talk to about these things. My therapist never believed them to begin with I think and now we have terminated.
And I got to the point where I didn't feel I could trust her anyway to tell her things without putting me inpatient. And I can't talk about this with friends because it triggers them and I don't have a provider.

I'm sorry, it sounds like you are having a row of bad luck. It's great that you were doing fine for a spell, maybe things will subside back into a trigger free living? Hope hope!
My bipolar/DD doesn't mix well with THC- a wee bit of psychosis (seeing/hearing things, emptiness). For pain, I'd rather take an ibuprophen or let one of the guys take over- they barely feel pain or it's very numb to them. Hang in their hon.
