- Quiting Weed
Hey all,
I couldn't find a community for helping quit weed but I thought this place might be close for it.
I've quit so, so many times before and I'm tired of the rollercoaster I'm on. I quit, my life gets better, I smoke, my life gets worse. I feel like every time I quit, it just takes one lapse in judgement to go back into it, and it can happen anywhere any time. I need help and I don't know who to talk to.
I saw that N-acetylcysteine can help quit, and I'm wondering if anyone else knows about this or has experience with this supplement?

It is known that housing insecurity adversely affects child growth and abstract development, but less is known about the cumulative long-term effects, they wrote in the study.
- Therapist says that my PTSD borders extremely close to a DID diagnosis. What does that even mean?
I've heard shit everywhere about DID, and I am / was completely convinced that the majority of sources claiming to have it are immature kids roleplaying mental illness OR young people with schizophrenia misdiagnosis as DID. Maybe I'm ignorant. I probably absolutely am, but I'm trying to understand it.
Then my therapist warily mentioned that I'm "a few points away" from a DID diagnosis. I was actually shocked, but some of it.. kind of makes sense..? But I thought that a DID diagnosis are not given out lightly and are supposedly pretty controversial in the first place?
Does anyone who legitimately has DID or knows someone who legitimately has DID, could you help me understand this?
I am unable to see my therapist currently due to insurance issues right now, so any insight would be invaluable. I'm struggling a lot right now to understand what that even means for me, my future, and how to deal with this.
Thank you.

- when is the last time you cut your toenails?
I suffer from adhd and major depression, both recently diagnosed and both resistant to treatment.
My toenails have been neglected for too long. They're ingrown and have been causing me pain for about a week.
I'm typing this as I'm laying in bed with my shoes off instead of cutting my toenails. Will I cut them today? Maybe, maybe not.
How about you, especially you fellow executive function disordered midwesterners? When is the last time you cut your toenails?

The mental health continuum model is designed to help identify specific changes in health and performance. Check in with yourself today.
Most things I find with mental health tend to be rather binary or structured, so I like this one that gives a very gradient scale.
