Hey guys..
Long srory short.
I was dealing with depression for over a year. For the most part i was fine other than crying. I came up with an idea of trying delta 8 tincture oil with thc that pretty much changed me for a month now..
I experienced all possible symptoms from panic attacks, anxiety, being more sensitive to stress, shortness of breath, dizziness, feeling weak or sick to my stomach, pain in heart, my eyes hurt, i could feel my brain and anything you can think of. It got to the point when i decided to go to emergency room and i was tested for drugs and had blood work. Everythig turned out fine.

To this day i dont feel myself anymore and im wondering if i ever will be who i was before taking it. I was told in er that if i got worse i will be put on anti anxiety meds.

Are all of this symptoms that i had and have some of them to this day related to changes in my brain or my mind plays tricks on me? Whenever something happens like dry cough for no reason in my mind i tell myself i may have lung cancer or i will stop breathing soon and the same with heart pain that it may fail any moment. I feel like i live in constant fear now and im trying make sense of what is causing it. I was drinking lemon balm tea recently and i feel like its helping but i want totally get rid of this side effects.
I was also diagnised with major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder and schizotypal personality disorder.

I would recommend DBT dialectal behavioral therapy what you don’t need is drugs.

I dont know if talking during therapy will change anything.

My main issues is thinking, speaking, not having thoughts in my brain thats why as of this very moment i dont believe ib that. I would rather go with drugs. You know like when I used to drink i felt normal. I felt relaxed and i didnt see any limits. Im pretty sure that's how most of us feel while being drunk but thats the only time i feel myself. If any drugs can help me achive that state of mibd my life will be different. That's just how i see it. I may be wrong.

THC really messed with my mental health without me realizing it. Quitting dramatically slowed the racing thoughts & anxiety I felt while using. Nammu suggested therapy...& I agree that you might be able to find answers there.

This is what people are seeking when they take that next drink. But unfortunately it takes more and more of a substance to produce the same effects and then the side effects multiply too. Drinking 17 shots several times a month will damage your liver, for example.
