I can't seem to convince my pdoc, but my depression started when I quit using marijuana. I was a 10+ year very heaver daily abuser and even though I can't say I was happy at least I was productive. If my doc saw me like that I'm sure he would say I was hypomanic, but it was not in a very pleasant way. It's been 12 years and my thought process is more muddeled now than when I was high.
Plus, within 4 months of quitting I was having shooting pain, numbness in my hands and arms. What do you know, I have 2 bulged discs, bone spurs and arthritis, all in my neck. I didn't have any recent injuries so it must have been like that for awhile but I had no pain, or so little I didn't notice.
Maybe, as my doc seems to think, it's a coincidence or some kind of delusion, but I don't think so.
