To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him. Buddha We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves. Buddha
On and off almost my entire life. I live far north, so far north that I don't see the sun for a couple of months of the year. In the summer my mood is fine, but the winter can be tought, especially if I don't work out a lot and keep myself occupied..
Weed, like any drug can lead to depression. All drugs stimulate dopamine to some extent and altering this you can start naturally producing less unless your getting high, so it kind of makes for a dependency, only feel good when your high type.of thing. I have not smoked in years and feel a lot happier but I will start smoking again in a few months. Weed can be a mental addiction that's nasty if you don't keep in control.of usage and what not, for example.some people wake up and have to smoke asap, some can go days or longer and be find with it.
I experience depression sometimes because my life is kind of dull right now. And I guess my past isn't that awesome either as my mom divorced my dad when I was young( to young to remember) so I never really got close with my dad. I see him every once in a while now. My mom re married for a good while 10+ years or so and when I got into high school my freshman year they divorced. She has a boyfriend now so I guess my depression is more of a child hood problem ( it's not severe at all but sometimes I just feel blue ) but I do get depressed when weed is brought up and I'm about to smoke then something happens where I cannot get high that day..kinda kills my mood .. Don't get my hopes up!
Yeah, but I attribute it to early childhood losses and adhd meds, shit made me fucking nuts so I did the opposite and slowwwed wayy down, which in the end also screwed my brain over, anddd also led to some seriously regrettable decision making but so yeah now im left with a nasty bit o' depression. MOSTLY tryina get the thoughts under control. Fuckin wild they are.
Read a book called The Power of Now. A fellow blade recommended it to me and I'm about halfway done with it and it has already changed my mindset. I almost feel free of anxiety and depression. Don't let psychological time control you. Live in the now because after all it all we have.
