  1. im 19, ivebeen battling depression for a couple years, ive gotten over that hill tho, pretty recnelty, sometimes it comes back and i feel it, it was severe tho, like seasonal, and suicidal depresseion, idk, i think its like crazy depression.
    anyway
    more recently, i have been havin troublesome anger problems, smallest things trigger me, ill go mad crazy, almost to the point of death. the death of me AND my girlfriend, who i care sooo much about. and my own self(my other self) is gonna put her life at risk, at the expense of my own anger. this in turn causes more depression to affect me drastically. :(
    i cant sleep anymore, i live in south georgia, i could get medical weed if i wanted to, but number one, south GA, no weed. im also jobless rite now, that even causes anger and depression build ups. alcohol helps me in the morning, one beer. but i know, im only poisoning my self with it, causeing another addiction, but weed, so far bas been the only thing to slow my mind down enough to think EVERYthing through i need to, relieves me of anger, my depression still the same, but i can actually sit and think straight. but i dont have the money to buy it all the time. or a good house to grow in, or the money to buy the supplies(for rite now at least). pharms. i have tried, numerous amounts of times, they cause it to literally worsen, i was put on lexapro, 20mgs, and everytime i took it, i felt feelings of severe irritation, and wanting to just fucking rip peoples heads off. sooo those are out of the question, i am stuck, i was wondering if anyone had any adive to give me???
    maybe on somethin i could do
    to help myself, maybe a different way to use theweed i get
    idk i need some help tho, i cant do this anymore
     
  2. sounds like you need some anger management and some counseling
     
  3. and i'd drop the alcohol like a bad habit - that's only going to make your issues worse. alcohol is a depressant, a downer...
     

  4. hey there - first off, props to you for being able to actually ask for help with your problems. that probably took a lot of guts, so thats pretty commendable. sounds to me like youve got your head on straight, and with a little counseling, and maybe a different type of medicine i think you could take care of all your issues. you realize you have a problem and you understand how its affecting your life and the lives of people you care about, most people havent gotten that much figured out, but you have. thats a good thing.

    first and foremost - drop the alcohol. absolutely nothing triggers depression more than alcohol. i know its an easy escape right now, and it feels good when youre using it to help the depression, but you and i both know this is not going to help you in the long run. prolonged alcohol use, especially amoung the already depressed/sensitive is NEVER a good idea. if you have to smoke more weed to make up for the lack of alcohol, then do that. do anything but kill your liver and mind with alcohol.

    secondly - as harsh as it sounds, it seems like you might need some counseling, or at least a professional doctor to talk to about your anger. anger management is always everyones first solution, and sometimes it works, but a lot of the times there are deep-seeded problems that are the root of the anger. you may be able to tackle your anger, but wouldnt you rather goto the root of the problem?

    i use weed to control my anxiety. CONTROL, not eliminate. weed is a wonderful tool to use to help you when youre in need, but as much as id like to say that weed is the cure-all, it certainly isnt. i dont think smoking is going to hurt your situaiton, but i really feel that you may need something more than just MJ to help you. you said you didnt like the way lexapro made you feel? thats totally understandable, sometimes it takes years to find the right medicine, but when you do it makes all the difference. i think you know how to control your emotions enough so that you dont hurt yourself or someone around you, but i think you should see a counselor before your anger develops into something more. you seem like a decent guy that doesnt want to cause problems for yourself or for your girlfriend, so i dont think youll have any problem getting this under control before you do something you regret.

    when youre feeling angry, as hard as it is, try and take a step back from the situation and look at it with a broader perspective. things that may seem like a huge deal in reality really arent, but since when you get angry your body and mind go into a totally different mode, you have to find a way to bring yourself back to reality, and then look at the situation in a better light. i know it sounds kinda corny, but if you need someone to vent your problems to or you want more advice, please private message me. i think its awesome that you have the balls to come on here and ask for help and i really hope you get the help you deserve. good luck dude, peace :wave:
