Hey guys,
I'm currently experiencing some difficulties with my speech and communication.
Quick background, Im 21 years of age. I've been smoking weed on a daily basis for around 3.5 years. First 2 years I smoked a few hours before bedtime, the other year and a half its been all day, everyday.
Only my close friends know I smoke, noone else does, I've kept it a secret.
My symptoms include-
-Difficulty speaking
-Inability to organize thoughts and ideas(This has happened since I first started though, Feeling cloudy is a good way to describe it, But it is normal considering thc effects the memory.)
-Problems with changes in tone, pitch or emphasis to express emotions, attitudes or subtle differences in meaning.
The last one is the major issue.
I sound stupid, like im sighing when talking and alot of people are noticing it. Literally every person i talk to can understand me, 20% of the time they'll say what? 100% of them look at me really funny and I know exactly what their thinking.
I work tomorrow and im dreading it.
I work with customer service, So dealing with people is a must.
Its so embarressing when ppl, Especially the regulars who I've become friends with through the business. You know come into work which you have to serve and they look at you funny due to the fact I'm speaking "different" all of a sudden.
Ive also noticed that when i get angry, I cant get angry, ill be fuming inside, but I literally cant get out how i want to sound without having a high pitched ending every sentence like im asking a question sound.
It might sound funny, but its made me extremely self consious, and its effecting me so much its ridiculous!
I thought that it might pass and just be one of those things, But 5 weeks later, I still have it. Nothing has changed.
It happened a few days after me and my gf split up, It was last thing that I needed, and now, it seems stuck.
I really need some experienced smokers to comment, or anyone else who has experienced something similar.
Its truely ruining my life, Im not exagerating anything
Please Help!
