    Ok so im battling mental health issues, my family believes I have aspergers and I am booked in to get tested for aspergers.

    How does marijuana effect mental health issues? Maybe specifically aspergers but also depression and anxiety?

    you don't have to read more but the following is irrelevant to the question.

    I struggle to keep friends and hold down a job, my longest job was 1year for my countries postal company.  I smoked throughout this time, and only at the 1 year mark, I felt like I was bullied and I didn't know how to stand up for myself.  I became angry and when I get angry my motivation for anything drops to like 0 and I quit my job.

    All throughout schooling(didn't smoke weed until 17), I didn't cope well in school always reacted the wrong way and ended up being expelled for fighting people who only verbally abused me. Thinking about everything I havn't stuck to gets me feeling sad and quite depressed.

    I have been an on-off weed smoker, and since I moved interstate to live with my dad, things havn't changed, except that I havn't smoked weed up here yet.  I've obtained 3 jobs and managed to quit the all in the 3months I've been here due to reasons outside work and also getting angry at my managers decisions, even though they could have just been mistakes on their part.

    I wonder if smoking weed is a good thing for me at the moment I'm quite addicted to looking up marijuana and reading/learning about its benefits, side-effects and how to make a difference to my countries laws.  Although I keep getting told that aspergers is the reason I'm getting locked onto the subject.

    Help me out im confused.
     
  2. Hey man, first off welcome to the forums as I see you're quite new  :smoke:
     
    I personally believe that using a psychoactive substance (that alters the way you think) should not be ingested if you have some sort of mental illness, as It can exacerbate things and often make them worse. That being said, it can be incredibly beneficial to your issues. Just like many millions of people use Cannabis to cure their issues. 
    I think it depends mostly on WHY you feel, 'depressed' for example, you mentioned lack of motivation,  etc etc. I would of thought that weed would make this worse (makes me lose my motivation in the short term).
     
    Honestly I could be completely wrong and this is just my opinion. I would recommend for you to try it, see if it helps. If it does help your problems continue to use it, if not don't.
     
  3. I suggest you look up Granny storm crow's list. She may have something on there for ya. Good luck.
     
  4. They said I had aspbergers. I fucking told them I'm fucking better than them, labeling people, doesn't get any worse than that. Just be yourself, don't let people step all over you, but don't conflict with them, give them a reason to like you. And if you don't have motivation, then you need some. Find something you enjoy. Something That makes you legitamently happy. If a job doesn't make you happy which it shouldn't don't keep getting one. Find something that's worth doing and pursue it. If you argue with people, that are nothing like you. You're gonna feel like a stupid person. When your not. They don't think like you do, and they can't label you for it. That's like calling me a nerd, because I program computers. It's what I do. Does it make me better than you? No, Does it make you better than me? No. Then why question yourself over what other people say. The only opinion that should matter is yours, critisizing yourself leads you to believe you have all these mental problems when people just don't think like you do. Which makes them have the same thing.
     
  5. Well I had mental health issues long before I started smoking weed.  My longest job was after I started smoking weed and I smoked the entire time while working there. In the end my job was being threatened if I didn't do you optional overtime,I was contract full-time and they used it against me when I started saying no as I earned quite a bit without the overtime.
     
  6. I was also into programming having did a course in JSP, my family always gave me grief for sitting at a computer for long hrs at a time, still do.  I gave it up because I lost all the work I ever had ever made(formatted portable drive instead of the partition i created) and I also found it hard to find work as most hosting companies don't provide JSP unless you purchase a vps or dedicated server, which limited what I could do for customers other than HTML/CSS.

    When I studied this, I was leagues beyond my classmates, we were supposed to make a program that could insert data into a datebase and recall it on another page, I was able to create a small CMS, where I manually created an admin which could create site content, and users could register and sign in to comment on such content.  Though now I look back I know it was basic.  But losing my portfolio struck a huge blow to me and I gave up study and moved interstate when I returned from an overseas holiday.
     
  7. when I turned 18 and labor laws were lifted. They gave me two shifts 7 hours each. 1 break for lunch. I said nope not doing this.
    I was losing my mind at work, because I never got any sleep. I heard things that freaked me out not even sure if they were real or not.
    People said I never looked ok, and I was going through some phase. I ended up institutionalized for 1 month which ended up being a huge waste of time other than everyone there being in the same situation I was. Mental health isn't real, it's a dime scam.
    There's a difference between social disorders and psychosis. People will freak out on you if they think your strange, Sometimes it's better to keep your month shut. Take what you get, or throw it away. The choice is yours.

    Oh that's webscript programming yeah you need to have a vps host to set up personalized website designs that they cann evaluate. I never really cared about webscript. I just work on Object oriented, and Application. I own a private office and work from there. Just writing syntax script all day.

    Oh lol. I always used sql script to set up database templates. It's so much easier. You just have to program it to set values in the script, so much easier than writing up a script to do all that. Basically it uses one sql script file and reads and writes everything from there and saves. Instead of having to reload the scripts over and over again. It just reads it from there.

    by syntax script you mean, you make programs that make programming easier?  CodeIgniter is one I looked into for ages, its basically a PHP platform with all the functions built into libraries which are grabbed using non php script.  It kinda simplifies the language so graphic designers can take what they need without writing huge amounts of script.
     
    My dad now supports me learning programming languages again because aparently its a good industry to be in if you suffer from aspergers syndrome
     
  11. Syntax script is the scripting languages used by the computer to make programs. The syntax used to make the script is the program itself,
    I use different languages (In their syntax) to develop different applications and scripts and I do this for large corporations. Whether it's a scipt for a bug fix or writting a whole revision of a program. They all use different languages. Most are very similar. But web script is different because it is network based and uses more databases than variables. 
    Syntax is like 90% variables.
     
  12. I thought I had Autism/ Aspergers for nearly the same reason. I was bullied without help for years from elementary, middle school, and high school by the same people due to this town being so damn small. College was only slightly better cause most people were new but the damage was done and my anxiety disorder went to hell and I got suspended three times from college and currently not attending. I have been trying to get a job, and may have one starting soon since interview went well but not holdin my breath. I have been wondering the same thing too. I get so damn depressed about my life without weed, and being the best for my anxiety I keep toking but on the same hand I wonder if it is hurting me :/

    int I = 1;
    int ii =1;
     
    Public script(i,ii)
    {
    I = int i;
    II = int ii;
     
    if ( i(ii)\\ ii(i) > ii + i)
    {
    return script(23333, 210192);
    }
    return script(i,ii);
    }
    That's a relative sample. Like i said mostly variables.
    I made it fully correct so it's a correct full example.

    saying syntax script confused
     
    saying syntax script confused me as I know that syntax is the language written for creating programs, but when u say syntax script I figured you meant you create scripts with special features to grab certain functions, this is common in web programming, though I havn't looked into software development.
     
    edit: we're going completely off-topic, but I am grateful for everyone that has contributed.
     
     
    Well my dad believes he too has Aspergers which is also undiagnosed, he is booked in for the same test but at 55 yrs old he thinks he has grown up and learnt to deal with it and now wants to be my "mentor".  I think its stupid because he is often a reason I feel sad or angry.  Recently he went off at me for leaving the fridge open(seals are a bit fucked) and yelled at me, I was like "dad chill, I've been closing fridges since I can remember opening them I'm sure I didn't do it on purpose" then he changes the internet password so I've been forced to overpay for my own internet, which I've probably spent double what he pays in 1 month on 2 weeks worth of 9 gig. This also pisses me off majorly, spent 150 dollars on 9 gigs of fucking internet, im getting angry and sad just thinking about it because I'm about to run out and broke as shit because of it.

    You need to compose yourself. My dad was one of the most unreasonable people when he aggravated, and I could talk to him, and he would be so confused to why he was even mad. And then he would take me to a strip club(Not really,).
     
    Functions are written in script yes. They use values to determine what function they perform. Anything that runs code in sequence can be called a script.
     
  17. It's said that you get a mentor who has had aspergers. who knows I havn't looked into it much, my dad did most of it.  He wants me to write a book.
     
  18. Eh I would feel uncomfortable with getting help from someone with it. I know they know what you are going through but still.

  19. MMJ can be fantastic for certain mental conditions, there have been a few great studies come out lately regarding the effectiveness of MMJ in treating anxiety and panic disorders, sleep disorders, and depression.   I suffer from chronic anxiety and had been self-medicating with marijuana for close to 15 years before it was finally recognized as a legal form of treatment.
