HOW CONFIDENT ARE YOU?

[veggii]

At times in my life i have been totally confident within myself i'd go out and dance the night away without a care of what others thought, but now if i walk into a crowded environment i feel stupid like i want to leave and i dont know where it came from, i had 4 years of utter shit in my life abusive relationships,depression, moving house too many times and having three kids will all contribute to my issues i know but what worries me most is will i ever regain the confidence i once had?

i fight depression every day, i fight to be happy and get up to make breakfast do the house work and make sure everything and everyone is taken care of no matter how bad i feel, i feel like i can fight depression, but my confidence is lower than ever and having an impact in many areas of my life, its holding me back and i dont want to be held back any more i've allowed it to continue for too long all ready.

anyone got any tips on rebuilding confidence that might actually work?

are you confident now and have you all ways been that way?

most depression is cause by a chemical defeciency !! plz see a doctor immediately and start thr trial&error process of which style of anti-depressants wrok for you.

I myself have been battling depression , only recently realizing it & after a
doctor forced me to take anti-depressants i gotta say at about the 4 week mark they started to work and i started feeling abit better and even listening to music know, istopped my chemical anti-depressant treament at the 8 week mark as i had several episodes that were mini-siezure from that piticular
chemical i hope i'm not going to slip back into the severe depressive state i was in, iam planning to try other chemical anti-depressants and see what kinda of reaction i get them and i'll end up picking the one that works best for me, i also believe i have figured out i'm actually bipolar/MDD/adhd co-concureentbut feeling better that i had positive results from the 8 week trial.

the best thing you can do is find the wright doctor that will believe you and help you proper thru the trial & error phase i would also recomend trying the older and more proven chems as the new ones are not proven and can have potential fatal sideeffects good luck :thumbsup:

That's sounded like a parody....
Depression is not caused by a chemical imbalance. That is oooollld news mate. The Pharma's needed a reason to explain why ad's would work and that's what they came up with, no scientific evidence whatsoever.
Good to know you're off the ad's devils dream.
Good luck to you. :jointsmile:

i know what your saying there, but i would like to say that there is some truth in how our bodies and minds behave when lacking in certain chemicals and hormones and all though it may not be scientific a lack in seratonin cant help our moods thats why i'm working on making my life happy our body's produce seratonin but if you dont get enough daily then over time your bound to start feeling worse its a downward spiral. IMO medication does have its place to help start people on the road to recovery but i dont think that long term its a suitable solution. exercise has been clinically proven to release seratonin and other "feel good chemicals" it really helps me. i just aim to make my days feel good one day at a time some are better than others but you just have to find what things work on an individual basis.

I had a good post here with something of value said about real depression.

But alas.... this site lacks good managership and the timed-out phase as usual crapped the post and signing back in to try and post again didn't work as it should have.

Then there's the posts which never do show up and should.

And the posts that will not show in a thread as they should.:wtf:

Add the vile foul mouthed, stoned kids who never learned better to put a diaper on their face and what's up with the lack of respect for those many who are here to get help and learn.

No wonder why there's such a negative stigma associated with cannabis.

Such foul mouthed, ignorant potheads with the mentality of a gnat who's vocabulary is riddled with diarrhea making the efforts more difficult than ever need be.

After researching and following the successes of Rick Simpson and his many patients and the novel idea of another beneficial poster to make concentrated THC oil from a pen and Ronson butane, I was able to cure the cancer lesions on my face...in FIVE DAYS!

No follow up posts and no offers in the way of thanks or helpful support or even suggestions to enable further successes.

To those guilty of rude manners, atleast clean up the diarrhea mouths and put a diaper on your faces when compelled to post.

Many people come here to investigate and learn about the many benefits of medical cannabis.

Get with it folks and be mindful that these many visitors and new members are seeking help and information about how they too might benefit by using cannabis as a medicine and not just some pathetic excuse to be stoned day in and out, day after day.

Albeit there are many here who are respectful of others and are as helpful as they know how...there are those who only blather out the stench they think is sooooo cool.

If I am the only one who feels like this about the lack of decency, respect and management of this site then I will go away and let ya all be.

Yeah thats just what we need to do, start telling everyone cannabis cures cancer, that will give us the stigma of friggen snake oil salesmen. :wtf:

Personally I like the "managership" of this site. They help keep us safe in times where the government sees everything we do. And this is the internet dude.. there is no winning or losing here you're just wasting your middle-aged angst posting your holier than thou attitudes. Why don't you let us do our thing? Is individuality so bad? I'm sure there are other sites where everyone talks seriously about weed. Who knows, maybe you'll get lucky and they won't swear at you!

And no matter what we do, cannabis will always have that negative stigma because of the propaganda that the government has been throwing in the general public's face for the last 80 years. You can't change that. Even when it's legalized, it'll take a few decades before everyone gets the sand out of their ass. Then we can toke in peace.

So until then Doobee.. smoke another bowl and calm the fuck down.

are you sure? cause i think they are ballancing the chems in my body

When a person is put on anti depressants for what I think longer than 2-3 months up to years at a time, there is seriously something wrong with that shit. I mean If you aboslutley cant handle some shit learn to deal with it like in the old days. So many people just stay on the meds for years because they originaly started on it an maybe were going through a hard time. But YEARS of daily chemicaly altering your brain on some shit that if you suddenly stop your going to go f-n hay wire. Putting toxins into your brain daily for yrs NOT for me id rathar be sad and deal with reality. IDK thats me. But you know the pharm companies to the doctors to the drive through at wall greens they all love that you do because your a cash cow.

You dont fix any problems taking a magic pill, go get counceling and try to figure it out/get over it. I understand some people need that extra help but Im more saying long term use is just poison.

Yeah, I definitely agree with ^^^^ I had so many friend addicted to pharmaceutical prescription pills.
I had one really bad on xanex (sp?) in particular. Used to blame the world and people around her for her problems when in reality it was her own doing.
It's all in the mind if you ask me. People just take shit too seriously sometimes now-a-days. There are plenty of other ways to cope with your problems other than shoving pills down your throat everyday. For instance, just take a vape hit and everything gon' be alright (Bob Marley:rastasmoke
