Been overthinking and depressed with life lately

Hello,


So I used to be happy when I was smoking/vaping marijuana but I realized I was really not living the lifestyle I wanted to live, but I felt like I was living my best life when I was high, with a better mentality, although I had to hide it from my parents bc they don't approve of it. I quit smoking last July, and ever since then my life has really been a Rollercoaster of emotions, overthinking, depression, anxiety, social anxiety... I don't know if it's bc I quit but I'm just not excited about life and don't have that same mentality I used to have. I just want a breakthrough in my life. I'm also pretty faith-based so I read the Bible, pray and go to Church on Sundays. I don't know what to do or where to go but I feel like I will be making a mistake going back to smoking weed after I quit. I just want to enjoy life again and I want to break through this cycle of anxiety, depression and overthinking. Any advice would help... thank you. I'm also 27 going to be 28 soon.

Do you feel like you were getting something from marijuana that allowed you to relax and be a little happier?  Maybe that's a silly question.  I'm just asking to see if it was that, or if something else was happening at the same time.

Have you tried CBD?  After having a talk with my doctor, I got the go-ahead to start using that, and it does help a lot, but without the high/fogginess of the THC of marijuana.

When you start to feel anxious, do you have any other "tools" that you use to help relax and focus?
