Smoking and depression

Lay off for a little bit? then start again its wicked makes ya feel a million pounds mate

 

are you on anti depressents? if you are, i'd get off of them. i'm on anti-depressents, and weed + medication = emotional rollercoaster.


also, do you do extacy often? that might be it, too.

 

Maybe look into your life a little bit makes sure your in the right job and the right environment.

 

I smoke when I'm depressed sometimes. It's okay as long as it's not your only way to deal with your problems. It's just a good way to relax and either forget about your problems for a while or figure out a way to tackle them.

Your 20's can be a tough time and a fantastic time. It's the best time to party, make friends, travel, work different jobs, discover what you want to do with yourself, fall in love, get married, and take part in experiences that will give you stories for the rest of your life. There's also a lot of pressure in your 20's. You need to get an education, get a job, get a place to live(if you haven't moved out already), think about the future, and figure out how you're going to spend the next 50-80 years.

I'm 23. There's a lot of great stuff happening in my life right now and a fair amount of bullshit. I never have a day off. I'm either working or at school every day for months before I take a day off. I'm also working like a madman at my music(practice, writing, learning, networking). It's a very exciting and terrifying time. Welcome to the club.

I'm very lucky in that I have an amazing girlfriend who helps me deal with my issues. Talking may not be your coping mechanism but it works for me. Find out what you need to do to deal with the tough stuff and do it. Keep working at what you like doing or want to do and you'll be surprised what you fall into. I've got a vague idea of how I want the next 5 years to go but there's a lot of guess work and trust in the universe involved. Good luck.

Wow....that was a long post. Thanks to anyone who read it.

 

Go work in the restaraunt industry. Just do yourself a favor and pick a restaraunt that's worth it. Your in Boston, (if my educated guess serves me well) Go to whatever's the cool district and pick a place where you just stand back and say "Shit, I'd love to work there".

Besides... restaraunts don't drug test! Well, at least the local kind of restaraunts don't...

 

Whenever the shit pile gets sky high, Mary Jane has always been there to calm me down, give me a little break, and send me back in with my boots on.

 

Depression really isn't cool, it feels bad. I do anything to avoid it. I'd rather spend the rest of my life shooting up than let depression take a hold of my mind.

 

Hi there.
Depression can take hold of you no matter how old you are. Genetic or surcustances.
Take a look at what is going good for you and concentrate on that.
Pot dosen't cause depression, unless you can't get hold of it. lol
Smoking too much of it, to a point nothing gets done, can play on your mind, an cause you to feel low.
College is hard going. Done it myself when I was 17 and again 33. You feel you just want to get out there and make your mark.
Take a deep breath and go with the flow. Worrying about something, isn't going to make it happen any quicker.
All the best mate. Peace.

 

I smoke because it helps my depression and helps with anxiety and makes it easier to sleep.. But herb is different for everyone.

 

personally weed has helped my depression. many people say that its not a good idea to smoke to get out of depression, but for me it is. it just mellows me out and makes me look forward to life once the bad shit blows by.

 

My daughter went thro a incredable bad time with depression in her early teens. The docs put her on anti's and offered counciling. Nether helped.
One day, I found on her bedroom floor, while putting her clothes away ( I really did find on her floor. got the highest respect for personal space, to the point, I don't go in their rooms anymore, unless they are their to help them tidy up. Make them do their own rooms. Sorry had to explain, not a nosey mother) some written paper on how the voices wanted to hurt her younger sister.
Well, you can imagine, very scared for her young mind (14).
My reaction - took her off the tablets and had a smoke with her instead.
This relaxed her, gave her mind a break and while high, we talked at length. I became her person councilor. IT WORKED. No more voices.
Now she is still smoking. Independant, hard working (6 days a week) and not scared of saying what she thinks with compassion.
She's got her life in prospective, has fun time, smoking time and working time.
Ive got a hypo boy and can see he will have probs when he's a teen. I'll see how it goes, but may take the same path.
These kids are victims of abuse (father), which has left them with bad start in life and left them with problem minds.
I smoked as a teen, and it helped my depression.

 

They also lead you a dogs life.

 

Self medication is not a substitue for psychological evaluation; I'd still urge you to talk to your doctor about this, and also tell him about the weed. A good psych will not judge, but they do need all the information to make an informed comment.

 

im glad to hear that shes doing ok now, goes to show how fucked up some kind of meds are...what did they have her on if you dont mind me asking

 

IMO, and this sounds so cliche, i dont care... but it makes you more of a person BECOUSE your busting your ass so damn much. you wont take half as much for granted becouse you have to work so damn hard to get it, and i respect that to the fullest extent! K+ man, seriously. where you be at?
