depression..

Discussion in 'Experienced Cannabis Enthusiasts' started by burnt out, Nov 29, 2007.

  1. yo, im posting because im an everyday smoker, and i feel like shit and need some advice.

    ive been smoking pot for almost 3 years now. over the past year i have been smoking daily/almost daily, and i generally smoke large ammounts at one time. ie: if i buy a quarter of mid, or an eigth of chronic with 1 or 2 friends it will be all smoked in a couple hours or so. a sack to myself though last me at least a few days though.

    anyways, lately when i smoke, i just get really sad. my high tolerance keeps me from gettin too blitzed, and instead i just feel really bad about myself or anything really. its been pretty bad the past week. the worst part is, when im not stoned everything is borring, i feel indifferent to everything and i have no motivation to do anything at all. i cant do homework to save my life, even though i really want to do well in school and get better grades. when i try to work through an assignment basicaly i end up sitting with a book open for a few hours not doing anything, not slacking off even, just staring at my assignment telling myself i must do it but never completing it. i dont even enjoy hanging out with my friends anymore, ive completly stopped hanging out with some of my oldest friends, and the friends i do chill with lately just make me angry for trivial reasons. i feel like im not/never will grow(ing) up. ive been trying to give up mary jane to try and balance myself out and hopefuly stop feeling so worthless/hopeless, but im just so stressed out (im behind/failing in almost all my classes) and used to smoking i never last more than a few hours or a day or two. i cant rely on my friends to help me out because they all smoke pot and when i try to get them to take a tolerance break with me they tell me they will and then just manipulate me into smoking with them later.

    i wouldnt even know what to do if i did quit smoking. i cant even think of 1 thing i would want to do. i just want to lay in bed and sleep.
     
  2. Check yourself before you wreck yourself.
     
  3. If you don't respect it, it loses it's magic. Everything in moderation.
     
  4. Hey man, Depression isnt much fun. Maybe talk to your physician about it. I've been diagnosed with almost everythign from bipolar to social anxiety (they fucked up)... and I talk openly about my MJ use with my doc. I wish I could be of more help, but I find myself in a very similar place I fear.
     
  5. Honestly, I would tell you to stop blaming the jane so much, and get your shit together.

    I would recommend taking a 2 week break to clear your head out, focus on the more important things in your life. It can be hard to take a break by yourself but if that means staying at home playing some video games and doing work...than so be it. You'll be glad you decided to do it. And as far as you not growing up, I cant be too sure what you mean there how old are you?

    In any case, you can always find someone who is worse/better off than you are, thats life man. You might think you have a depressing life but so do ALOT of people, it's alright bro cut back on the jane for a little bit, start taking care of yourself and thats all you can do. Part of growing up is accepting and understanding.
     
  6. Damn thats shitty ...However you might wanna take a break...Im not saying quit but stop smoking if you can for about a month. I once smoked myself stupid and it was no longer fun for me....I quit for 30 days and it almost felt like i was just starting ...Good Luck B
     
  7. definietly stop and clear your head dude.. i used to feel slow and stupid after smoking multiple times every single day (ive even done that same exact thing when it comes time to do homework) just sober up for a few days or however much you want.. even after the first day you will feel better and clear headed:)
     
  8. If bud affects your job, studies, and the people around you; stop.Stop and think. Get your priorities in line. Set goals.
     
  9. Wow, everything you just said is EXACTLY how I feel right now...

    :(

    and my friends do exactly the same thing too...
     
  10. id say im a depressed person. since i started smoking things have been a bit mellower
     
  11. I pretty much feel the same as you man, but im just seeing this as a bad phase of my life and know that only things get get better, and that makes me feel better. I believe having realistic goals is the key to all success in life.
     
  12. is there a peticular reason you get depressed when you're high?? has something happened to you recently? i would suggest cutting down if you can't quit
     
  13. It sounds to me like you have clinical depression. You should go see a doctor about this, I had similar problems and was put on anti-depressants that really helped. Also, weed can amplify your depressive feelings at times. If you can, try to not smoke for a week or two and see if you feel any different. Good luck, feel free to PM me if you want to talk about it.
     
  14. yeah i know were your coming from i get like that from time to time, i found music is a good temp. and chating with your mates about what there gonna be doing and try and get in on it, like puting in aplications for jobs and stuff. getting healthy for about a week works then you love your ganja for months.
     
  15. You need to take a tolerance break man. I get that way sometimes when I start feeling all burnt out and crappy. Take a week off, drink plenty of water, eat healthy and exercise a bit more. Then when you get back into weed keep drinking a lot of water and you'll be okay. When the body doesn't physically feel great the mind gets a lot of strain.
     
  16. Before you go to a doctor try L-Tyrosine and 5-HTP. These are natural anti-depressants. When i was severely depressed i started looking for ways to get out of it because i really couldn't live that way my whole life i know its the worst shit ever. I started taking those and after a week or so i noticed big changes in my depression. Now im hardly ever depressed.
     
  17. Ya the jane adds on to it - Take a break and clear your head
     
  18. Dude, go get a freakin' hobby other than smoking pot. Really, find something you absolutely enjoy doing that doesn't involve pot and keep at that. It's all about being focused and knowing how to set limitations on yourself.

    Before swim season recently started, I had been smoking like 3-5 times a day (mostly blunts, sometimes outta my roor) for about a year. Now that swimming has started, I realize I can't be smoking all that much, especially not those blunts as they affect my lungs more so than any other method. Blunts are my definite favorite way of smoking, but now I realize that I can't do that for the next few months. So I'm just cutting blunts down to a occasional weekend thing.

    Even though I am now mainly going to be vaporizing, I still can't get high at all during the day before my swim practice otherwise I'll just be too shot and unfortunately, practices are either in the late afternoon or at night. Yeah, but whatever, I got school, swimming as well as my other hobbies to keep me busy. Just keep yourself motivated and always remember that life still goes on no matter how shitty your circumstances may be and really really try to put things into perspective. I don't know, but it's always worked for me.
     
  19. Hey man, I've been here, and there's absolutely a light at the end of the tunnel.

    Weed is a great thing, but even the best things have to be done in moderation. When it becomes a necessity to smoke as opposed to a perk or something to look forward to, that's when you're headed into a bad spot.

    Whereas I'm no supporter of the system, it's not easy to fuck it entirely at this day and age, so you just need to re-discover your priorities. Go to work so you can afford to smoke. That joint when you get home from working and getting paid will hit you a lot better. It might suck, but us stoners have to be able to transcend all the bullshit that is the system and just be glad that we're not blind to it.

    Just cut yourself a break, straighten things out, take a week or two off from smoking and once you've got your shit sorted, roll yourself a nice fatty. Then proceed ^_^
     
  20. i went through the same thing earlier, i felt very depressed and lacked all motivation. i used to smoke everyday, but one day i up and stopped, and let me tell you, it feels AMAZING to not smoke when you are depressed. i got so much motivation, school work became easier/my grades improved, my friends seemed nicer and they enjoyed being with me more, and i was just really getting all of my shit together. dont smoke for a week, its much easier than it seems. its really all in your head, and after the first day you dont even remember that you used to smoke. its really easy and it helps so much. so just go for a week without smoking. you may even decide you want to quit for a little longer, i havent smoked in about a month and i feel great. i will smoke soon though, as i am starting to miss it.
