I had a friend who went through something similar. It kind of came from nowhere ( from my perspective, he seemed fine up until that point but he lives in another town and we really only talked via phone and text ). One day he called me out of the blue from an unknown # and needed a ride from a location that was very strange to me. I won't get into the details but he needed help. After I picked him up I was able to get him around some of his family members and we convinced him to go to a hospital. He stayed for a few days and things eventually smoothed out. That was a couple years ago.

He eventually got on the right meds and everything is fine. He said it did take a few tries to get the correct medication.

I asked him how he felt when it was happening and he said it must have been going on for a long time and built up to that day. He was smoking a lot of thc, and that seemed to be the trigger for an underlying issue.

It's good that you are aware and will be seeking help. There is nothing wrong with that and it's the right thing to do. I'm wishing you luck ✌️

I hope others can respond with their personal experiences to help ease you through this !
