How I finally cured myself from depression

[Hezbollah]

Next time you get depressed over some stupid ass shit, be grateful you have two feet, arms, hands, ears, eyes that can see, functional brain(that can write pretty well) and last but not least, you're cock and balls.

That was some deep shit man... I've been going through alot of the same shit in my life, minus the girls & alcohol(I'm not promiscuous and I don't drink)... I've been thinking about religion, how Christianity seems like it's illogical and has so many fallacies, but I really want to believe that some supreme being is watching over us, but we have free will.

I often feel isolated from many of my friends and family... I guess that's an element of being intellectual, as you said.

Still, this is some real stuff. I can feel, I can relate, except I haven't had extreme depression.

Thanks for sharing man, really appreciate it.

So you're telling me people with a disability or autism are never depressed because of their condition? You are smoking some good shit, must be sativa what strain?

i think this is a nice story but you do not understand that other people have thoughts and emotions just like you. i feel that instead of reading your books and crying, you should (as cliche it sounds) think about people in africa under 100 billion degrees walking 30 miles for shitty river water and make houses out of feces. honestly i think you think to much and the best cure for your depression would be better weed. i was briefly depressed for a little while but i realized its immature and honestly if you want to cry for your own life you should get a fucking hobby.

that is fucking terrible advice. do you even know what depression is? thinking about people in africa, smoking better weed, and "getting a fucking hobby" won't help someone feel less isolated.

the only reason he feels isolated is because hes working himself up. just because you have social issues doesnt mean you should contemplate ending your life. people who get hobbies or play online games or get pets have much better outlooks on things. friends come and go, but weed is always there.

This is my first post, but ive been reading for a few months guess im that lazy. Your story has giving me some methods of battling my inner demons if thats what you call them, I feel a similar way towards society i never feel that i fit in with most people. anyways thanks for writing that up and happy toking

[GunjaFarmer]

+ rep to you kind sir

1. Killing myself is not an option. It is the most selfish thing you can possibly do, and I can't and won't put my Mom through it


So so true. I do not want to say that I am just like you.. But we did have alot in common I say did instead of do because you have obviously defeated you depression. Not necessarly defeated but you have overcame most of it. I have alot going on in my life right now. Maybe not as much as you did but its harsh. I can honestly say that this post has helped me out tremendesly and I thank you.

+rep!

OK, Gnarkill, and others like it, it is clear to anyone who has had depression that you have never suffered depression so you have no CLUE what it's like. You think are thinking of the word "depressed" from the perspective of just a regular joe who had a pretty decent life, and something bad happens to him that saddens him for a little while. That's what you think is "depressed."

When we talk about depression, we're talking about the experience of a person who for one reason or another, usually several, feels worthless, has fucking hated his life for so long that it becomes completely normal. He doesnt even know or remember what it's like to feel normal and loved and appreciated. From his mind's perspective, it is completely normal to loathe oneself and think about death ever day, because that's all he's ever been able to feel.

Obviously you, never having experienced this, cannot even imagine what I'm talking about. So please leave your "unhelpful" advice out of this thread, and try listening for a change.

I can relate to this story in quite a few ways, and I'm glad to hear your resolutions.
Thank you. =)

Gnarkill I love how you basicly just say turn to weed when your down it will help. But when that high goes away guess what? Your still depressed and you build a need for weed. Which causes addiction. Dont say you cant get addicted to weed because you can. I have a friend who smoked since he was 12 he was 18 when every bit of money he got would go towards weed. He was soon kicked out of his parents house and was living on the street doing anything he could to get money. He honestly was not able to function with out being high. He was murdered after 5 days of living on the street because he tried to fuck his dealer over. Im really not trying to just tell a sob story but I just dont think its right to make it seem like weed will solve all problems and thats all you need to get by. Atleast I think thats what you meant I could be wrong.

Wow. It's unbelievable that someone can be so much like me.
Thank you.
