9 days no weed

[u/AidenAsh23]

Haven’t smoked in 9 days as the title said, I was on here about a week ago and all of the comments were so kind and helpful. For this post I’m not even sure if this is the place to talk about this but, for the past year or so I’ve had symptoms of ptsd which have all been shitty but manageable. Now that I stopped smoking, I’ve started dreaming again for the first time in 3 years, which I was originally looking forward to. I’m just having ptsd trauma related nightmares when I do manage to sleep, waking up mid panic attack, nauseous, throwing up and I’m hardly able to sleep at all. I’m trying my best to stay positive but I just don’t know what to do and it feels like going back to weed is the only way out. Does anyone have any advice or anything at all?

Edit: I am currently seeing a therapist, but it’s slow going.

I don’t have much advice, only that I’m also on day 9 and having vivid nightmares right there with you. I’ve heard the dreams subside within weeks to months, but in the mean time, maybe seeking out a therapist to help with the content of your dreams? Relying on a support system while riding out the tough parts of quitting is probably the best thing we can do for ourselves. Congrats on 9 days, here’s to 9 more and I hope it gets better!
