Weed and alcohol both work on your dopamine system, if you drink caffeine as well, that’s an extra taxation to your dopamine receptors.

You may think you’re successfully self medicating, but clearly that’s not the case.

It’s know because I suffer from the same problems as you.

It was better after I quit smoking weed, (occasionally I still do, and my paranoia goes up every time, so I shouldn’t), I drink in moderation now, and stopped drinking caffeinated drinks.

My anxiety is less, but I’m autistic and have ADHD, so my mind will always be overactive, but still less than it used to be.

I take small doses of prescription benzodiazepines daily (it’s effective for Asperger syndrome and anxiety), and it’s better.

I’m still depressed, but that’s because I can’t even live with daily noise that other people see as normal, loud noises, barking dogs, neighbor noises, motorcycles, slamming doors etc, it makes my blood pressure go up and my heart beating in my throat.

But, it’s still better than when I was “self medicating”.

You’ll notice a huge difference when you stop smoking weed, but it’ll take a long time to train your brain to kick the habit of overthinking that weed tends to cause in many people.

I knew when I started reading that you were a daily smoker, or had been.

I’m aware of, and believe it can be an effective medicine for many people, I always thought that was the case for me too, and it did work for a long time, but eventually it made everything much worse.

You’re describing typical psychotic trains of thought, being sober is the best you can do to ease that. It’s not the answer you were hoping for, and your journey of suffering will probably not end there, but it’s a good start.
