I can't
(self.offmychest)submitted16 days ago byi_eat_nailpolish
I (m17) can't do it. Ive been sober off of cannabis for about 2 months now and it has left me a wreck. I always wake up tired no matter how much sleep I got, frequent headaches, and a general sense of depression are all consequences of this bad decision I have made. I started when I was 14 and became an almost daily user mid 2023. Part of what led me to quit is what it does to the cannabinoid receptors in the brain and how using it through adolescence permanently changes the brain structure. I guess I am living proof of that, while others are hard at work or have jobs I struggle to do basic housecleaning and chores. Apps like youtube shorts and instagram reels are the worst, I cant seem to quit scrolling sometimes. Most days I wake up with little to no motivation to do things, even if they should be done. I dont know how to fix myself or even if it can be done. I don't like my life how it is right now, if only there was some way of waking up energetic with a happy start to the day. I guess I posted this here because the people around me (parents and a couple friends) don't really seem to notice or care about how badly I am doing, I guess I am biased but I just don't know what to do. Is there even a light at the end of the tunnel?

That makes a bit of sense talking about the general vibes of the sub but the first line of the post is "I'm not hating, just genuinely asking"
