Yikes, amphetamine/ cocaine are in some ways the toughest addiction to kick. Makes sense why you're depressed. It really inhibits your ability to experience joy, and causes long lasting depression. Have heard vitamin deficiency/ nutrition along with trauma are the top contributors to MH problems. Drugs can often cause or prolong. Including psych drugs as the brain adapts to them. So temporary problems can be prolonged, or can get rebound effects making the problem more severe. They can also cause new psych problems. BPD now around here used to be considered more to be related to fear of abandonment and being emotionally unstable but other symptoms. Used to be border of psychosis/ neurosis here too. It's said to be closely related to trauma. Many people choose to label themselves as having complex trauma partly, because it's very stigmatized in a lot of places. Really enjoyed a film I watched about bipolar "bipolarized". Mostly have been said to be considered depressed anxious or ADD. Have had bipolar considered briefly but ends up ruled out. Those disorders tend to run together and don't take cause into account. Enneagram is very related to fear/ hope. Everyone falls into 9 types. One way I prefer it to the DSM is that it's not a one size fits all. There's various levels of health to above average to below average. Am on the unhealthy level. They are said to correlate to MH diagnosis. Though that's at the unhealthy level. They take into account what you're specific type will look like when healthy. Where as psychiatrists I believe often use themselves as a benchmark. Think they are often Intuitive Thinking on the MBTI. That's partly why I more and more people get considered autistic. Sensing is vastly more common. I think it's being apathologized though. My Enneagram is correlated to Paranoid Personality Disorder when unhealthy. Though don't think it takes trauma/ mistreatment into account much it more or less fits. Have been openly lied to about before to get coerced into taking drugs. Being suicidal but objectively pretty attuned with reality and not significantly mentally impaired
CBD doesn't help me me anxiety, but it's done wonders for physical pain for me. Have heard it's helped others as well. Placebo has been shown to be very powerful. In fact it's been shown to even be effective when people know it's a placebo. Don't think I'm a candidate for it. Also have failed to be hypnotized. Wonder if it's related. Glad it's giving you peace of mind though. I've thought of trying to vape it or a patch. Though am definitely CTB. Heard there's evidence oil has been what's causing problems with vaping so would be cautious with it
