Sara Johnson, a 28-year-old graphic designer,...
Sara Johnson, a 28-year-old graphic designer, started using marijuana in college to manage social anxiety. Over six years, her use escalated from weekend social smoking to daily, high-potency cannabis concentrates. She began experiencing severe anxiety, paranoia, and 'brain fog' that crippled her work performance. She felt trapped in a cycle of using to quell the anxiety the drug itself was causing. Her psychiatrist, Dr. Evans, diagnosed Cannabis Use Disorder and recommended a structured outpatient treatment program. This included Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address her underlying anxiety, Motivational Interviewing, and group support. Sara struggled with intense cravings and irritability for the first month. After six months of treatment, she has been sober for four months. She uses mindfulness and new coping skills for anxiety. Emotionally, she moved from shame and helplessness to a sense of agency and cautious optimism, rebuilding her self-esteem and career.
