[0:00]hey guys I just want to address

[0:02]something really quickly

[0:05]here so if you look at my videos from a

[0:08]week ago versus today it they are just

[0:12]night and day black and

[0:14]white codol withdrawal has just killed

[0:17]my mood it has changed my mental health

[0:21]like like like I like I could not

[0:24]imagine I expected to go through a

[0:27]physical withdrawal I did not know it

[0:29]would have such an impact on my mental

[0:31]health

[0:32]so I've been chatting with chat GPT

[0:35]about it and it's a process it's going

[0:37]to take me months to get back to

[0:40]normal I had a little bit of wishful

[0:42]thinking going on thinking this was

[0:44]going to be a quick and easy thing that

[0:45]I could just get

[0:49]through doesn't work that

[0:51]way J gbt says that generally about a

[0:57]month after you stop taking that

[0:59]medication

[1:01]you can see a significant Improvement in

[1:04]your mood but you're not back to normal

[1:07]that takes several

[1:09]months um especially because I took it

[1:12]long term I took a fairly high dose um I

[1:16]you know I was I mean the way my doctor

[1:19]described it to me it was like you're

[1:21]taking the weakest you know

[1:25]medication that's in that class of drugs

[1:28]and um

[1:31]it's no big deal to get off of it that's

[1:33]actually how he described it to me now

[1:35]that I think about it back in the

[1:37]beginning um wow um I honestly don't

[1:42]know what to think about

[1:44]that so I mean I believed him and I

[1:49]wanted to believe him I also knew that

[1:52]I'm almost sure of this that they're

[1:53]over the counter in Mexico

[1:56]like what it is Mexico I don't know what

[1:59]to really say about that but you know

[2:01]just I guess I took any little bits and

[2:04]pieces of information that I could and

[2:07]Justified it to myself because I didn't

[2:10]really want to be taking something like

[2:11]that and then I did and now I'm paying

[2:15]the

[2:16]consequences so this is not the kind of

[2:19]Channel I want to have it's not

[2:23]so I'm not sure what I'll do like I

[2:26]might have to just take a pause because

[2:30]I

[2:32]don't I mean look at my first like 30

[2:36]videos or something like that I'm a

[2:39]completely different person what this

[2:41]has

[2:42]just just destroyed my mental health I

[2:46]did not know it would take so long I

[2:49]think maybe I'll see gradual Improvement

[2:52]every week like I'm hoping like like

[2:55]it's not like 1 month from now suddenly

[2:57]you have what CH to be called you know

[3:00]significant Improvement you know week

[3:03]one week two week three maybe there's

[3:05]just this gradual process of improvement

[3:08]and then at the end of that first month

[3:10]it just feels

[3:12]significant you know and then months two

[3:14]it feels like okay I'm almost back to

[3:16]normal month three okay I'm finally back

[3:18]to

[3:20]normal um there's things I can do to you

[3:24]know just help support myself through

[3:26]this and I will definitely do that you

[3:28]know

[3:30]I will try to eat as healthy as I can I

[3:32]will try to limit the amount of Pop I

[3:34]drink you know I'll try to drink other

[3:37]things um probably not the best things

[3:41]like you know I'll drink grape juice cuz

[3:43]I love grape juice always

[3:45]have um maybe I'll try to experiment

[3:48]with tea at some point like

[3:51]I I'm going to try guys I'm going to do

[3:53]whatever I can

[3:55]to cuz I don't like this I don't this

[3:58]isn't what I want to be I'm I'm not

[4:00]happy I'm unhappy and I'm and my

[4:02]thoughts are making me think that I made

[4:05]a mistake but if I look back at

[4:07]everything I have written in my journals

[4:09]or I have posted on YouTube this was not

[4:13]a mistake up until the day I stopped

[4:14]taking caream of it all

[4:16]so

[4:18]um I have got to get myself back to

[4:20]normal before I truly know how I feel

[4:23]about anything and because of

[4:25]that

[4:28]um I mean this is what I have to do and

[4:32]I'm just not ready to you know abandon

[4:35]my cats rehome them with my mother

[4:40]like I just I love my cats so much like

[4:44]I have to try everything before I say

[4:47]okay it's

[4:48]undoable but clearly I don't think I can

[4:52]do that right now

[4:54]so boy did I I just stacked a whole

[4:57]bunch of stuff on top of me didn't I

[6:25]am not going to let this stupid drug

[6:27]beat me I am going to beat it I already

[6:30]have a better attitude about it

Summary

The speaker addresses viewers about the dramatic change in his mental health and mood due to codeine withdrawal, comparing his current state to videos from a week prior. He describes consulting ChatGPT about the withdrawal process and learning it will take months to recover, not the quick process he initially expected. **The speaker reveals his doctor had described the medication as weak and easy to discontinue**, which he now questions. He outlines his current situation: living alone in a camper in an unfamiliar state, having given up his house and most possessions, with cats staying with his mother. **He commits to supporting himself through healthy eating, limiting soda consumption, and potentially trying tea**. The speaker acknowledges stacking multiple major life changes on top of withdrawal but maintains determination to overcome the drug's effects and return to his normal positive demeanor.
