Ok so I feel really shit

have you tried cannabis?

 

Great point. Make sure it's the best quality or it won't do shit medicinally.

 

yes.. i'm a very high energy person and have a lot of muscle on my body. i simply cannot get enough protein without eating fish or at LEAST cheese. i support not eating animal products, but i can't do it myself

 

that old dr. seuss quote comes to mind.
"be who you are and say what you feel, because who those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."
sucks to say it about your family, but if they care about your health and well-being, they'll come around.
oh yeah, and you should try a fresh baby spinach salad mixed with romaine lettuce or arugala.... mmmmm

and really guys, you think someone with CFS needs to smoke ganj and be lazier?!

 

Everything you said right up until this point was an intelligent comment. But this is quite ignorant. Smoking doesn't make people lazy. That's a stereotype and propaganda. From a medicinal standpoint it's really a wonderful thing. The benefits go beyond many conventional medicines without long lasting side effects. It's too bad governments being lobbied by pharmaceutical companies ever prevent any real unbiased research. The problem is it's natural and cannot be patented. So these companies would have to patent a synthetic chemical that closely resembles THC. That's currently how the laws work in the US.

If there wasn't great potential (Money) these companies wouldn't try to suppress the real plant so they can monopolize in the legal market by selling synthetic products like Marinol (delta-9-THC), one of the naturally occurring chemicals in cannabis. Marinol is FDA approved.

So don't be fooled by the biased stereotype that cannabis will make you lazy, kill brain cells, or cause cancer. All that is simply not true. The facts remain that cannabis, up until the last 80 years, has been used as a miracle cure for 1000's of years. It's a miracle plant with benefits that extend far beyond medicine.

Anyone speaking negatively on the plant is misinformed. But not to derail the thread and start talking about weed. But seriously. Cannabis is a miracle plant and may not cure you but maybe make you more functional and get the ball rolling again. Again, not using it to get high, but using it no different than medicine.

 

the guy above me make a really good point. cannabis is a very potent antidepressant.
although calling zilla's last statement unintelligent was totally uncalled for.

 

thats what i thought right away too lol

shadygrove, i completely agree that marijuana is a wonderful medicinal plant that has many applications... but just like you wouldnt go around recommending one herbal remedy for every ailment someone complains of, you should realize that cannabis is not a cure-all and is not necessarily right for every situation. if she was in pain, sick, nauseous, (insert many other symptoms here) then yeah, maybe. but i hardly think it makes you want to get up and do stuff.

 

of course i see exactly what you're saying. as a long-time cannabis user i know a great deal about its effects

but realize that just like any other medicine, in certain situations cannabis is not an appropriate prescription for the problem. i think this could very well be one of those situations. maybe if she were prescribed medical MJ and could easily get her hands on a sativa, she could help her problems, but she lives in the UK, where i'll be damned if most of what they smoke isn't heavily indica. so honestly, i don't think "find some weed, get high, feel better" is really a very good recommendation

 

well, at least he had a somewhat informed though not all-encompassing info to back his accusation.. i'm not terribly insulted

and right on ms. kara :cheers2:

 

well i beg to differ. but it's definitely not the only answer, and mj being illegal in uk makes it a very impractical idea.
so overall yeah, definitely not the solution for this case.

 

wow didnt know this thread went onto weed nom.

oK so op here again.. feeling more shit. really ill.. headache, sore and shitty sinusus, i feel light headed, dizzy, faint, my vision isnt right... i dont want to talk vocally (to family) because its a waste of breath. then they get stressy cus im not responding vocally then i get stressy cus they dont see that something is wrong and leave me alone... so they dont leave me alone and i get stressy because they dont see that so i shout then they get stressy cus im shouting (id shout like EEHH!?? at their mehness i cant think of the word) then theyd get stressy cus im shouting then id get.. blahblah y'know the routine.

so its a spiral of EEH¬?? and crying and feeling ok.. i swear i feel ok one minute then am depressed and wanting to burst into tears the next... bi polar? xD dont be silly becky. *bursts into tears* people are always telling me to not be stupid.. if i think i have something LIKE asthma theyd say OH NO dont be stupid.. ffs ¬¬ i hate doctors. know-nothing know-it-alls.

people are still giving me shit about this semi-veg thing... fucks sake. thats also making me more depressed. when my bf's dad and brother said 'ooohhh look its the flexitarian... its called omnivore y'know' i burst into tears. FFS someone help ><

i need to burst into tears now but a friend is coming over. and now im getting a headache.

haha.. i asked my mum if it was still ok if i had my 19th in the garden.. she was like 'only if you complete your first year of uni and get a good grade'.. ok firstly.. i always complete things and get a decent grade. secondly, i have so many things going wrong for me with my health i might not PHYSICALLY be able to complete it. then what? 'oh sorry you cant have a life now because you're too ill' OMFG FUCK OFF. i hate it. i know mum is trying to support me and stuff but NOT IN THE RIGHT WAY... its just making it worse... i cant talk to her cus she wont listen and will give me another fucking lecture.

think ive had a migrane for a couple of weeks... vision hasnt been right and i knew it was something like a migrane.. but was onnly the other day i got the fluey headachey sinus thing with the hot flushes dizziness and sensitivity to light. dad still thinks its a cold. WTF DO I DO ffs. im going docs on wed. then i can shout at the shit bastards.

mum says i should go back on antidepressants cus she thinks this period of feeling dperessed is 'because you werent ready to come off them'... ive been off them for 2 weeks i think now, been depressed every single fucking day. should i go back on them? i was only on 10mg of citalopram.

EEHEHEHH

hugs please <3


oh and my dreads seem to be matching my shitty self health thing... SHIT

ta

 

dude that is my favourite quote ever xD

 

************hugs**************

 

dreads are looking good miss

 

thank you

 

dragonnnnn, how about if you print off every post youve written in this thread and give it to mom/dad/nan/doctor/whoever..... because no matter how much you try and explain it, they wont understand. maybe if they see it in writing, they might take you more seriously and do something about it..

 

Yeh I kinda thought that too last time Smelly.

I dunno...it seems like a lot of your stress is being caused by your family and other people being idiots... can you not just put on your best dready attitude and say fuck it to what anyone else thinks? It's a tactic I finally adopted about 10 years too late, and so many times I've looked back and wished I'd realised sooner that if certain people aren't going to be reliable there's no point trying to rely on them.
I know that's probably quite immature advice...but it's worked for me

 

it worked for me too =D

but i know a few years ago when i was first getting depressed and tearful about the smallest things (like you mentioned in the post.. you just wanna cry) i wrote EVERYTHING... and just gave it to my doc & mom to read, and they acted on it.. slowly, but they did.

i did it cause im not good at opening up to people, and i cant explain how im feeling without being a total dick and breaking down again..

 

sending the good vibes your way... have hope and persevere

 

I know this is usually said but try to look on the bright side for example though it stresses you out that they are trying to help in the wrong way at least they are trying to help hence they do care

or you can just do what I did
I just said fuck it
