Nice to meet you.
Pot helped me get over my first wife's adultery and the divorce that followed. In fact, pot was the only thing that helped stop the endless loop in my mind - what went wrong, how could I not have seen this, how could I put this back together - that plagued me 24 hours a day when the emotional pain was the worst, in the very early days.
Psychiatry, and the pharmaceuticals I was prescribed - Zoloft - were worthlessly ineffective.
If I smoked a joint, however, my brain would relax, and that relaxation gave my spirit time to heal...just like staying off your feet helps a twisted ankle or a bad knee to heal. Not only that, but with my brain more relaxed, I picked up my guitar and made music.
So there you go.
Okay. I’m a much bigger fan of music than of pot for your situation. I’m also much more skeptical of your solution than of music for an escape - I knew/know a huge number of people who tried your path and got lost.
