Taking a break for as long as needed...

[orangeman]

Ok, things aren't just going good in my life. Everything just seems like it's closing in and I really feel like I could just die any second. I've been smokin marijuana for the past 2 months or so everyday. I am now starting to feel like I'm losing my mind. My brain is operating in another way that I have never felt before. I almost feel perminantely fried. Just dumb and lost. The more I review in my mind the life that I am living now the more I can see my self fitting right in with the characters of Requiem for a Dream. I mean, it almost seems pointless to live anymore. Now I have realized where my mind was when I began this and now I see where it is now. I can't feel like this any longer.

My mom and dad told me all the time that my family is all I have, and it's true now, I finally see what they are saying. As much as I felt bad about everyone in my family in the past for the first time I really miss them and I don't want to lose them. My grandmother hasn't been doing well lately and I can only hope she gets better. If the worst happens I don't know what will take place. It just feels like everyone I know is slowly fading away and I really don't know what to do. I'm actually crying over here.

I plan on selling all the weed I have and I really want to just take the little bit of money I have and catching a bus and going some where to just release. I have finally come to the conclusion that a very bad period in your life and marijuana just does not mix. I hope you all can forgive me, I will still be hanging around here and keeping in touch but I have to stay out of touch with marijuana for as long as I have to until I can really CLEARLY and not just convincing my self that I am sane.

Take care man, you know what you have to do.

Cannabis is not an escape from any problems you may have in life.

And understanding that is an important step towards helping yourself

Stay strong man,

Best wishes.

[Dr. Dro]

Sorry to hear that.

[Frivolous248]

Good luck, I'm takin' a break too. Well, being forced to.

Hope things work out for the best.

[Nochowderforyou]

Do what you have to do man, just don't do anything irrational and stupid. :)

[crudemood]

Good move Orangeman. If you're sad marijuana tends to amplify that feeling. Sorry to hear you're life has started to spiral after daily smoking. I learned the same lesson a bit later than you. Glad you learned earlier than me. Good luck on picking your life back up, you can do it.

Orangeman,

I'm sorry to hear about your bad times brother. Life is really strange, sometimes you're up and pulling ahead, and others you're down and falling behind. I can understand how you're feeling because i've felt that way too. I have been smoking everyday now for damn near 2 1/2 solid years and I definately know exactly what your talking about when you say that you're feeling lost and life is pointless.
Recently i tried cutting down to only smoking at night time. This helped me deal with life during the day and have something to look forward to at night (nothing like smokin a joint). This was a good way for me to not always be high and trying to deal with real life.
If you feel like quitting is a good idea then that is the best idea for you.
Remember at the end of the day, the only thing that makes the difference in you're life is if you're happy or not.
Hope your mom feels better.
Peace

Best of luck OM. Shit..

[orangeman]

Thank you all, I'm trying to do the best that I can. I just feel so lost right now though. I'm still having faith that it will get better but I just can't at all how.

[AlwaysBlazed]

Man, I know how you feel about one thing. I've been smoking every day also for 2 months and I am so fried beyond belief. I can't even go out tonight because im just too burnt and tired. I'm going to smoke this last bowl and then cut down on the every day smoking.

[potsmokingnome]

Good luck, and I must add you are very wise for your age. Not many people your age would realize what you have just realize. Come back to Marry Jane when your life is in order :)

[benagain]

Good Luck Man :thumbsup:

[officerleeroy]

Good luck dude. Family is everything. Coming from a broken home I wish I could have had it better.

[suhl]

yeah, a break seems like the right thing to do there

[NextLineIsMine]

Im my happy usual self when I only toke when I really have the time for it and nothing I should be doing. Weed is an escape for about twenty minutes tops then as you burnout you feel far shittier and stupider.

[budsmoker only]

thats very good that you realized that and decided to take a break.. best wishes and my heart goes out to you

[Cheery Cherry]

I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through some tough time. Just reading your post over-whelmed me. You sound like you have a lot on your plate and it's good that you're acknowledging it and taking care of it.

Take care of yourself, Orangeman.

[birdgirl73]

You're an intelligent, sensitive, and perceptive young man, Orangeman, and I'm sorry you're so low and feeling lost right now. I hope your break will help you find the answers you need and help you feel more upbeat. You have SO much going for you, including an excellent mind and a family who loves you and friends here who admire and respect you. I'm proud to count myself among those friends, and I wish you all the best. Much love, sweetie. Talk to you soon!

[LIP]

You take care of youself man, your a smart guy, and know what your doing. Not many people your age are like you, they're out getting drunk, partying and doing every drug under the sun, but not you, because you got your head screwed on right.

Take it easy, and dont forget we'll all be thinking of ya!

I know i will.

Hopefully i'll catch ya on msn sometime, we can have a little chat.

I hope you feel better dude, take care.

[Reefer Rogue]

I took a 6 day break from smoking everyday for, let's just say a lengthy period. After those 6 days I really appreciated cannabis again and life a lot more. Exercise has also helped me quite a bit. You'd be suprised how much push ups and sit ups can help. Obviously my situation isn't as bad as yours, I don't even know what's wrong with you to be honest. Take all the time you need, no one will hold it against you. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger ;)

[buddymyfriend]

Take care of yourself orangeman, you've got a good head of them shoulders! Keep yor shoulders back and your head held high. Hope shit works out for you my brother from another mother!

Peace

Buddy:yippee:

[Firebloom]

Take care OM

Been there myself in the past, and a break did me allot of good.


Best of luck.

Hope everything works out well for ya.

:thumbsup:

[Jay Matix]

sometimes life can be stressful inside a sess pool.

Just do what ever you feel is right or needed.

Plus breaks are ALWAYS a good thing.

[rainbow_jo]

orangeman, i'm really sorry to hear that. sometimes it's really scary when it feels like your thoughts aren't your own.
And when smoking a J is something that can usually relax you and make you feel good changes to making you feel crazy, it's horrible.

I hope you feel better after a break. Huge hugs to you hun xxx

[greendragon420]

Good Luck david, and I hope your grandma is alright...
Keep your head up, and maybe I'll drive some of our headies to my friend in need. Better than mids :)

[cannabis campbell]

Best of luck i been through that period before except i didnt stop the weed i carried on and started drinking which made it worse just stay sober until your better again and take it easy!

[le vallette]

HI ORANGEMAN SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE BAD TIMES MATE. WE ALL GO THROUGH THEM. YOU WILL COME THROUGH IN THE END. HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF. YOU SEEM LIKE AN INTELLIGENT MAN.STAY CLOSE WITH YOUR FAMILY.

[JunkYard]

Orangeman, I don't know you, but after reading your posts since early this year, I gots some madd respect for you. You got your head on tight, and I'm certain you know what you need.

Hang in there, bro...

Much Love,

[napolitana869]

Good luck with everything, feeling lost is one of the worst feelings someone can have. Call your Grandma and tell her you love her. Mine died this weekend and I wish I had called her one last time just to tell her that. I hope things work out for you man.

[orangeman]

Well things have gotten a bit better. I think I was just doing too much. I need to slow down and just allow things to happen and stop thinking about so much negativity. I'm glad I recovered just a bit. I'm trying to stay sober until Friday. Wish me luck :p.

[friendowl]

Lol I wish I could but I don't even think I got enough money to get a ticket :(.

[Craxed]

I feel the same way you do, i think im going to keep the weed i have left, and just stop for aa month. Most of my problems, are caused by ppl whom just want to fuck with me because i have no ability to take action. I think il quit for a month , and start again but only keep it to a limit of 2 times a week. I hope it can fix me.

[go toke up]

dude, i got the same shi goin on here and the only way to deal with it iis moderation. just smoke a bowl here and there and maybe even a blunt or two on thee weekends. yourhead will be clearer. hang in thur.

[theonlylivingboyinCA]

keep your head up and move forward .. hopefully things work out for you and you come back refreshed and ready to enjoy a fat blunt. :D

stay up.

[KL4D4]

Go into full detox, sleep in, wake up and go lift some weights, pushups, take a jog what have you, eat you're favorite food, go on a date. You'll be straight in a week I hate when I used to wake up needing to drink to get normal again uck nothing but bong smoking
