I've told him that the way anti-depressents afect him outwardly seriously scares me, but he just ignored me and told me I needed to stop smoking pot and take anti-depressents. All the doctors said that marijuana would seriously cause my condition to get worse, but from what I've experianced weed has helped me more than any doctor has with this and my ADHD and anxiety.
See, I should be one of those with ADHD, and anxiety. I know i'm afflicted with both, and I have anxiety attacks from time to time, but I refuse to let these labels control my life. I refuse to take pills I know won't do me any good. I taken them. All it does is make you gain weight, and you feel like a zombie? How does this exactly help with depression? It simply doesn't.

Who's to say ADHD is a bad thing? We see and feel in ways the "normal" people don't. We pay attention to the details. We have empathy for our fellow man. We think in a way other people can't. I feel drugging up people to put them down is not the solution.

Psychedelic experiences can open your mind, and see yourself from within yourself. It's hard to describe, but it opens your mind in mysterious ways, unlock your deepest thoughts, and desires. It can take a toll on your mind with frequent use, but I wouldn't take back a single experience, because the perception of how I saw life evolved from those experiences.

Exercise is just as good remedy for depression and anxiety. Great for your body, builds up self-confidence. Change your outlook on life, think positive, even tho life doesn't always work out that way. Meditate, it's great to learn to control focus and clear your mind. You just have to do little things to change the big picture.
