I have a dumb problem - looking for advice. Tl;dr is I felt awesome quitting pot cold turkey but 6+ months later I feel awful.
In 2016 (age 21) I smoked pot for the first time. I lived in WA so it was legal. Going to school, had a job, all was well. I began to smoke habitually - daily for about 5 months. I'll admit I wasn't the most productive but I had lasting effects afterwards.
For 6+ months after I quit (cold turkey) I genuinely loved nature and was fascinated by everything. I loved going for walks, talking to people, got straight A's for first time in my life, loved thinking about things from new pov's, everything. Began eating wayyyy better and working out. Felt amazing.
Suddenly now I feel awful. Nature is uninteresting, I hate walking or working out, I feel anxious around people, eating more junk food, etc. No motivation to do anything.
I don't want to smoke now because it's illegal where I live, my career field requires regular drug testing, and I don't want to convince myself pot fixes everything.
Has anyone else experienced this type of feeling? I really want to get out of this loop.

Honestly no. I just feel like crap after having been doing/feeling my best. I don't really want to smoke anymore but I haven't felt this low ever.

Well in that case then, start tracking your progress at the gym. Weightloss, gainz? This way you'll stop hating it and be more motivated to go. With at least this one thing constantly on your mind you won't feel the need to smoke more plus this makes you more healthy and happy overall a better lifestyle ok 10/10 advice you're welcome

Thanks dude. I've been in such a loop of negativity I didn't know where to start. Couldn't talk to anyone because as you might imagine - most advice is either "don't smoke" or "get fit". Having a goal might get me out of the rut.
smoke weed again, this time vape it and use in moderation

You need to get a new hobby and never enjoy said hobby while high in the future. Pot can alter your perception of experiences, so for example when you get used to skating stoned it becomes easier to concentrate deeply on while high and might feel off sober. Kind of like how its not preferable to read high but once you get used to it its nice.
