depression

Hi, im 15 years old, and i suffer from depression. i found out that it runs in my family and that one of my ancestors comitted suicide. my depression has become so bad, that i begin to contemplate ending my own life as well. i have been taking something for my illness though. ive been taking cymbalta for about a year now, and it has not done a thing, other than give me stomach pains. last july (of '07) i was introduced to great thing called Marijuana, and it made me feel good about myself, and for the first time in a while, i was truly happy. i took a break from it for about 8 months and smoked again in march. it usually is about one month between every one of my pot binges, where i smoke for 3 days straight. my parents know i do this, but do not approve. i think that pot is the only medication that can actually help. what can i do in my situation?

 

am i not allowed to be on this site?

 

Yeah your allowed to be here. Keep smoking weed if its doing good for you, instead of planning your death, plan your future.. Try setting up grow ops , start talking to some hoes, and do good in school. All will be good.

 

thanks, and what are grow ops?

 

Grow op is just short for grow operation, Just ment that you should get started on growing some green because of how expensive it gets; plus it could be a pretty good hobby, just don't get caught.

 

I found out that the only reason my mom dissaproved was because of the legal issue. Where should I buy the seeds? And what nutrients do the plants need? Thanks for all your help

 

If it helps with he depression then smoke up, but be responsible. As your mom don't approve then keep only small amounts around.
No matter what drugs you do, always learn as much as you can about the drug. Being as informed as you can be is always a good thing.

As for your grow questions - aks them in their own thread deticated to that topic instead of here in a thread on depression.

 

Lol I highly suggest growing underage and without reading ALOT about it.

 

I used to get really bad depression, not to the point of being suicidal, but feeling really low.

Weed definatly helped me get a new perspective on life. Now I'm pretty much over all that shit.

 

haha for real i have actuall cut my wrist with a razor once but not deep enough im too pusy but i have bad depression anxiety digestive problems and the pains that come with em i have cleared most of it but without medical and trying differnet strains i will in no way know what helps the most i should get i sooner or later but don't want to waste half oz worth of money on a stupid visit/ but just hang in there weed is good for depresion i have heard and its working for me (im really fucked up

 

Sounds VERY similar to my original situation. I had huge issues with depression from around 7th grade to 9th grade. I started smoking weed "heavily" which has improved my life more then I can possibly say. When my dad caught me the first time, he was pissed as fuck, but through logical reasoning and careful planning I was able to convince both my parents that letting me smoke when and where I want to is the best solution for my depression (depression also runs thick through my family, both on my mom's and dad's side of the family). I'll PM you something that may help.

Peace.

EDIT:You have PM's turned off, but if you want a bit of info that may help you out, feel free to send me your email or a way to contact you or something.

 

Do NOT smoke weed if you're depressed. You will get addicted to it.

Find a better way to cope with depression, drugs are not a good way to cope with things even though they're the easiest. Trust me, it's a bad idea. Don't do it.

 

what are you guys talking about? everyone gets down and depressed you dont NEED weed to get you out of it. i say get happy enjoy life then start smoking. when your depressed youll feel like u need it to not be depressed

 

iiii say screw those OTC prescribed zombie brainwash bullshit. i mean if you honestly thiink that tokin up is making you happy, fuckin aye. toke up man. depression is just a selfish state of mind man. everyone goes through it over something at some point in there life, weed can be an escape from reality, everyone needs that everynow and then. as for growing it, do it somewhere where noones gonna fuck with your stash. and do it nowhere where it can be traced to you at all. thats just some advice braaa.

 

Hey, I'm not saying I NEED to smoke weed. What I am saying is that it greatly improved my outlook on life. Plus, personally I find smoking weed much more pleasurable and less addictive then antidepressants. Withdrawl from antidepressants can suck.

 

Everyone that's saying that you should smoke if it makes you not depressed is an idiot. Depression is a horrible thing but you need to cope with it better than turning to drugs. If you start smoking pot then your mind won't know any other way to be happy and you will turn to smoking every chance you get. Trust me, it's a bad fucking idea.

The "hippies" in here are going to say "people should be free to do what they want" and tell you to smoke if you want to smoke. I think that people should be able to do what they want too but I don't want to see people ruin their lives by doing something like getting addicted to drugs, and yes marijuana is addicting (I'm addicted) but usually only to the point where you crave it.

Pot is a great drug, don't get me wrong, it's just that you should smoke because you like getting high, not because it helps you escape your natural state of mind just because you don't like it.

There are other ways of handling depression and I know that smoking might be the easiest way out but it's also the worst way out in the long run.

 

why are you depressed?
I get depressed when I think about all of these idiot people fucking up our wonderful planet.
It hurts . .

I smoke ganja and pray.

 

actually i get depressed and think about suicide every other day but i have been dry and never has it made it worse i think smoking marijuana for it is ok if you don't have an addictive personality you know what i may be bi polar though but yeah like others said try to find something that makes you happy while you don't have it i love making people laugh but its hard on the internet so thats what i do to keep myself happy and the added marijuana helps a whole lot whith all my problems so try and find something that helps you out so your not hanging on marijuana like a shirt on a hanger. i know i don't have an addictive personality because i use to when i started smoking was smoking tobacco and i quit right when i found a deal and tobacco is the most addicting i have ever seen i wasn't able to pick up a half yesterday and probably won't for another 2 weeks so i'll be dry and it's gonna be fine.

 

i dont believe that depression is a disease, its a state of being, a mood perhaps. OK so your life sucks (you're broke, have a shitty job, dont get along with other ppl. etc.) man up and face your problems and stop being a little bitch, there are soo many more people out there with problems way worse than yours, and if they can keep going with their lives than so can you. and no pill is going to help you overcome "depression", only you can do that.

this is what i tell myself when im feeling down... hope it can help you.

 

I CALL BULLSHIT on whoever said everyone gets depressed and you need weed to get through it.. THAT my kind sir is how dependence starts and you usually shouldnt smoke when your depressed youll think that it wouldve solve problems i myself have never cut my wrists or anything like that i enjoy life too much and it only hurts yourself but about the post yea you should smoke if it means you wont suicide and die and where do you live?california has alright laws about it but they are still bitchy
