Day 6 no weed and every day so far I have woken up with a surge of anxiety. I wake up sad and scared and feeling a little bit hopeless. It takes me a good half hour to settle and shift my mindset, has anyone else experienced this?
Look up “morning cortisol anxiety”, I’ve definitely experienced it, not fun at all.
That cortisol dump hits like a freight train, used to happen to me around day 4 every time I took a break, shower as hot as you can stand it then blast it cold for 30 seconds, weird trick but it snaps me out of the spiral.
That makes so much sense, google says it’s partly low blood sugar and I’ve been eating a lot less. Thank you!
Same here, also day 6. It’s terrible. Currently in the fetal position in bed. It gradually gets better throughout the day and finally feel more normal around 6 pm. I get this extreme sleepiness in the afternoon as well, like my body is exhausted from it. This is unbearable.
I just made myself an iced coffee and that helped a lot with moral :) the afternoon tiredness hits me so hard I feel dizzy
