Realized weed might be the reason why I started having severe anxiety and stomach issues. Quit over a week ago and trying really hard not to go back to relying on it to numb my stomach issues.

So I’ve had stomach pain, queasiness, intense indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, etc. to the point where I went to see a GI doctor and got an endoscopy, SIBO test, breath test for reaction to gluten, blood test, u name it. Everything came out normal except some slight inflammation (GERD).

I’m kinda an anxious person (or so I thought) but everything I linked myself to… the anxiety and stomach issues… which I thought was when I was with my ex around 4-5 years ago was I realized when he introduced me to smoking weed frequently. I remember I would smoke have late night munchies numb the discomfort of eating too much or eating unhealthy food with weed and repeat. I think weed also made me develop anxiety and a lower stress tolerance which all contributed to bad mental health = central nervous system affecting my stomach to cause more frequent indigestions.

So I decided to try quitting cause no way in hell can I keep living like this. And it has been fucking working … at least mentally. I haven’t had a depressive or anxious episode in a while and I feel more comfortable taking my day on. It just gets really hard when my stomach feels extremely queasy and all I want to do is take a hit and make it go away. BUT I WONT. I’m determined to go at least 6 months without it to see how I feel. And if I feel good I am never ever going back to it. :) fuck that not worth.
