i've been suffering from depression, social anxiety disorder, and a good case of paranoia for about 30 years now,.... been smoking about 25 yrs,... while i can't say it has helped the situation, i like to smoke dope, and i've seen and been thru enough in this life to deserve the peace that i often find in it,... embrace your condition, and understand it won't go away unless you make it.... fight for your right to sanity! hasta
Yeah I think I posted before in this thread but I'll say it again. Marijuana helps my depression. I don't think I'll ever get rid of it completely. I have my ups and downs. I'm a very pessimistic person to begin with. But antidepressants never worked much for me. Just made me feel disconnected. And my shrink was really stupid. They always told me to never self medicate with MJ. Well when I self medicate I'm happier more often than with antidepressants and therapy. And it's great for my physical pain management. Anything to keep me from taking pills for pain.
the worlds a harsh place and you all gotta keep your head out the darkness somehow.
i myself have depression and while you feelin shit, shit thoughts/decisions can overtake and leed you to places you might never get out of. fear and hate can settle in and they aint gonna let you off light.
i found the best times t hit a bong are those which are the worse times.
now im not gonna say that mj is the cure, mj is your solution but you got to defend your better state of mind, an pills are gonna do all sorts of weird shit to you.
an nancyrenee has got some real shit goin for em...wish you the best.
peace all keep smokin.
im sorry dident have time to read the whoule descution but here is my 2 cence.
when i got back from iraq i was diagnosed with ptsd ( post tramatic stres disorder)
now im on medical weed and it is the ONLY thing that works for me , but i also employ tantric meditation to control my thoughts and increase my high, im add so this is realy hard :) but depretion is also a choice , wether you beleave me or not , i know im bipollar and manic depresive with chaotic episods , at least thats what the doc says .i have found that doing somthing when i get depresed is a great help, after somkeing of corse :D
Well my friend has anxiety and panic attacks from time to time. He has to take medication everyday and his hands are still always shaking. He started smokin pot with me a couple months ago and most of the time he says it helps him a lot. Its the only time I see him not shaking. I mean this kids hands are always shaking and when hes high, hes totally calm. So i guess it helps. But sometimes he gets real ripped and freaks himself out. Its kind of funny. But after a 30 min power nap hes back to just being high.
helping my depression as i type this
so yes
it helps
i think it might help but at the same time not
when your high your happy and then when your sober
you remeber when you were high and happy
and just makes you sad again lol
fuck em
just have fun
I suffer from depression too and find that weed helps me but hash seems to bring me down.I started growing and then I stopped taking my meds while just smoking hash and also while just smoking weed and that is how I found out.I don't mean to come across as stupid but why do I find such a difference between the 2?
I use pot to help with my anxiety .. it works great. I used to be on xanax but don't like the stigma attached. Rather be called a stoner lol. I don't smoke it enough to see if depress me, but I do believe that indica is much more mellow then sativa so maybe you could try different strains until you find the one that relaxes and doesn't give you a drop off.
I don't know about depression,I dont feel as depresed, but for Anxiety try a good indica. ive suffered from Cronic Depression and Panic disorder, Sativa makes the anxiety worse, while the Indica calms me down gives me a good body stone, if you don't want couch lock, i suggest trying a mild variety! or a hybrid of Indica/Sativa.
