I have felt exactly what you are feeling now. My eyes have been opened along with my heart and life is beautifully chaotic now.
There is a method to the madness but nothing I say can heal you. In due time, you will find your way.


Personally, I subscribe to Dr. Szazs's perspective on mental illness. I would recommend you look him up before you get yourself on any meds.

Dr. Szasz wasn't necessarily against medication, but rather the stigmatization of people claimed to have "mental illness". His point was that mental illness is a construct and that the system is ripe for abuse if we allow psychiatrists to label people incompetent, mentally ill, or abnormal. In his mind all types were valid, and "mental illness" was only a product of society trying to fit triangular, square, and hexagonal pegs into a round hole. The good doctor did good work and I agree with his philosophy to a large degree, but he continued to ignore many advances in neuropsychology and neuropsychiatry which did not fit his model.

If medicine helps you then that's great. Mild side effects are much better than wasting 5-10 years of your life depressed and floundering. One of my biggest regrets are not seeking help when I could have legitimately used it when I was younger.

OP, seek a diagnosis and if possible get a second opinion! If you are indigent there are probably community resources you can use to find a doctor.

I've actually been diagnosed with bi-polar as well.
Happened a couple days ago. Surprised I haven't gotten this assessed earlier.


I can relate:shrug:

is it true that an anti-depressant could put someone with bipolar in a manic state?

I know it sounds crazy coming from the shroomery, but maybe you should think about not smoking weed. Especially if it makes you anxious and paranoid.
Also, I don't think an anti depressant alone is the right choice for bipolar. If you're going to go the medication route a mood stabilizer should be thrown into the mix.

My girlfriend is bipolar and finding the right mix of meds is a never ending battle. It seems hard to find the right balance between being constantly zombiefied and totally shot out of the frame manic.

There is no one medicine that works for everyone and sometimes the medicine causes more trouble than it fixes.

Good luck!

I did recently quit weed. I never thought I would, and I never thought it would affect my life so greatly but Im quite sure weed played a large role in my anxiety, paranoia, social issues etc... I love weed dont get me wrong. But I certainly wish I didnt smoke everyday while I was a teenager, I honestly believe it hindered me from developing emotionally. Alot of my problem now can be traced back to getting high and not dealing with the root of the problem.

Although I still think I may be bi-polar and a few counselors agree, I have not yet gone to see a specialist because my mood has increased a lot since I stopped smoking weed. I still feel like a shadow of a person and I have almost zero motivation but day to day Im feeling alot better since I put the bong down.

You may be right about the emotional development.
I tend to think weed affects some people differently than others.

I never thought I would ever quit smoking pot
but I did for work related issues and now I notice
that I don't even really miss it. When I do smoke up
my tolerance is so low that I get crazy paranoid and
whigged out. I never thought I would be that guy.
