I have been awake the past few nights wondering about all this...my life. I am not going to ramble on about myslef but I am on anti-depressants, I have slight social anxiety and I get suicidal every now and then (nothing major) but ever since the beginning of school I have had problems socializing and doing "normal" things a normal teen should be doing. I don't quite fit in with the jocks and preps and not with druggies so kinda in between, I have been really depressed lately and I have been thinking of finding some drug or anything to get me off. but I have never done any before and I don't drink. my family knows I have depression but they don't know that I'm feeling this way. Can anybody help me or anything. -thanks
nooo don't do effing drugs/licker/etc. tis bad. makes things worse. what you need boy is some goode religion haha..but seriously.... just direct your energy into sumpin goode.
Drugs aren't meant to cheer you up, really. I don't suggest using them as they may just make the feelings stronger. Start by thinking of things you like to do.
Well, I was smoking weed and that seemed to be helping with my depression because about a month after I quit I started to feel my depression coming back again. Mybe it was just a coincidence, but I doubt it. Also, prior to quitting, my eating habits have declined, and now my parents keep bitching at me because I don't eat enough and I'm losing weight. Well -- that's not my fault, they are the ones who persauded me to quit smoking pot. I know some of you may say that smoking marijuana can't help depression and what I'm saying is bullshit, but this has been my experience, believe it or not. PS. Pot isn't for everyone, you have to feel comfortable using it or else it will just make things worse.
i hear really bad things about antidepressants...have you tried just eating right and excercising? excercising is supposed to have a very similar effect similar to antidepressants if you do it aerobically and consistently for a month or so. even non-aerobic excercise would probably help. just walking, bicycling, dancing, running even, or anything where your moving would probably help. it might be a shorter time for you before your stuffs really balanced, who knows, everyones different. ive never did it consistently enough to find it though i do know i feel really good after a good excercise. it actually releases endorphins and hormones in your brain and balances things out the perfectly natural way, instead of taking a pill everyday. it also gives you a sordove euphoric relaxed feeling, hence the antidepressant correlation if you do it for a month and really balance your shit out. also, do you like anything other than guitar? maybe you could try rock climbing or kayaking or going to a concert something, keeping busy and active always helps with these things. plus your really young and you got a whole world just waiting to be experienced, dont limit yourself to just one thing. try what you can and see what your passion is. you dont wanna just be working some 9-5 job do you> btw- ive read pot has helped with some peoples depression, and its made others way worse. it all depends. everyones brain chemistry and body is different. id say at least try it and see how you like it. try to keep an open mind and dont let the druggies make you think its all bad. pots probably a healthier habit than antidepressants...
drugs can't change an emotion except boredom. everything else they amplify (make fun things more fun, bad shit worse)
Yes, also: The Ring 2, Short Circuit, The Goonies, Free Willy blah blah etc... I've tried, I've tried soo many many times
the old new england journal of pharmacology as well as many of the better herb books including "the herb book" which is the most complete herbal refference i've found list kmarijuana (and a few oyther herbs) as a treatment for depression (and boredom) i wouldmnt suggest trying anything else however..& i'm not suggesting you try that either untill you look into other possibilities seems the depression stems from the social disorder, are you currenly on medication for that? sought out support froups or looked outside the school for freinds? schools can be hard to fit into since everyone forms into froups (jocks..druggies..) personaly i'd be happy you dont fit in to the predefined groups & are an individual...in todays schools free thinkers may be few & far betweeenn..outsiders..but they are there ..
I don't know what I need. It's been this same cycle over and over again, countless times. lol I started crying as I read strangers post (I'm so pathetic)
just ignore what normal teenager things to do are and blaze a path, it happens rarely, just be your own human don't be defined by your age, be something more, take your energy and become something greater than you are now, learn to create, or destroy, it is your choice, your energy, your power choose wisely.....
