What do you do when you're depressed?

[Ixarku]

Sorry it just bugged me to see a comment coming from someone that seemed to be completely ignoring what pot is supposed to be good for, one of the things it's used to treat! Everyone is obviously going to have different results, just like when taking anti-depressants or anti-anxiety drugs different ones work for different people.

I love the commercials for the anti-depressants with the warnings about side effects such as "may increase suicidal thoughts", etc.  Kind of counter-intuitive that something that supposed to treat depression can actually make it worse in certain people.  The ironing is delicious, as they say.

My favourite iatrogenic paradox is anti-anxiety tranquilizers, whose potential side-effects include; Rage, mania, loss of memory, depression, and impaired thinking.

There are other medications available, though all forms of anti-anxiety medication can cause some level of nervousness, sleeplessness and other serious physical discomforts.

And yes, they're addictive.

Even if you stop taking your medication, the anxiety will return soon after if you don't seek treatment in the interim.

Topping it all off, anxiety is a condition which is easily misdiagnosed.

And they call themselves doctors, huh.

To be fair, they do work to relieve people with a serious physiological and psychological condition - when that's actually the issue.

I remember taking tranquilizers as sleep aids, getting addicted to them, suffering hallucination, and forgetting where I was. The existential dread involved in that period was considerable, had I been the type to suffer unduly from anxiety it would have been far far worse.

That's why I have such a revulsion against American pharmaceutical advertisements, suggestible people can go through an entirely unnecessary hell because some vaguely worded advertisement leads them to self-diagnose. Rather than advising them to go seek psychological treatment, if only to enlighten them of the fictitious nature of their insecurities, they're to go seek their doctor and ask them for this drug. Which leads to the murky world of legal yet not precisely moral patronage of diagnosticians by big pharma. For obvious reasons, neurotic people are easily victimized by such concerns.

Weed saps the motivation, thus if you're depressed you won't be motivated to do something about it.
That's my two cents.

[Dr.Mabuse]

Smoke weed if I have some weed at home.

Smoking weed when you're depressed is pretty retarded unless you want to be even more depressed.

I only smoked when I was having a really good day, because it would just make the day that much better. I recently quit due to the U.S. Navy. If you're depressed you should probably put your priorities elsewhere, and not on weed.

I have good friends, a really lovely girlfriend for over 4 years now and my life is not that bad. i get depressed, if i have too much stress at my university for example. my first thoughts are "you never will pass that..." and i hate it if i think that way and i need something to forget. alcohol is much worse than cannabis and if i smoke weed, i mostly dont drink alcohol.

sorry, it's hard for me to express my point of view in english.

My good sir, I cannot possibly tell you how difficult it is for me to breath right now. Maybe it's that time of the night where funny things seem funnier, but it hurts to breath.

I salute you, comrade.

Every day you laugh and smile is a day of winning. it pleased me that you laughed.

- Cannabis (I know this isnt good but I've got my hands on some and might as well huh?)
- My Little Pony

- Cannabis + My Little Pony make a good combination

When I'm depressed I try to hold it in because I don't want anyone else to know.. Then It bottles up and kills me (about 3 hours later) and I go nuts and tell someone I feel like shit.. Then I forever regret telling someone.. I've fucked so many potential relationships from my spaz atacks

Just like today.. She probably wasn't gonna be anything more than a friend.. but because I was lonely I got depressed when I started to think that she alike every other girl in the world eventually ends up hating me, getting bored of me or treating me as a friend even though they know it's killing me... Ide rather a girl tell me that they have no interest and then not fucking flirt with me and tease me.. if we're friends WE ARE FRIENDS.. I'm sick of this bullshit.. But I flipt out so now the good chance of friends with benifits has gone.. But she should have known that I wasn't ready for it (edit: I'm a guy.. I can't say no to potential sex even though I know what I really want is somone who loves me -.- sigh.. I knew that Ide get upset when she flirts with other guys and she doesn't share how I feel.. I know it's not her fault but I physically can't help myself.. I'm too clingy.. I cling, its what I am its what I do.. If I just stoped looking for 5 minuits Ide probably find somone whos right for me (super clingy aswell)).. she knows I just got out of a fucked up relationship..

Sorry about just rambling.. I needed somwhere to complain too that won't have any negitive effects when tomorow I don't feel no where near as shit.. I tend to complain and then the next day, go oh fuck.. now what do they think about me..

[Nodame-chan]

Woah!!! Didn't see this topic around for quite a while now O.o

Chocolate and a cup of hot tea! That's my formula of happiness

Anyway I'll stick with this opinion ^^

Lol, falcon that could have been summed up with bitches be bitches.

OnT: Drinking, Running, Video games, Drugs.

In that order.

I think the main issue is that over the past 3 months ive had 5 - 7 hours sleep a night, usually 5:30.. I'm a 8 hours sleep guy.. So to combat lack of my preferential 8 hours sleep ive been having tons of cafeen.. Oh the life of a Games Tech student -.-... Then I JUST get out of a long distance long time relationship and all that time of no sex and all emotions.. I kinda wanted some.. But I also wanted the other emotion parts that came with a relationship because fuck.. It's all ive had for 2 years, I'm kinda used to it.. So when this girl comes along offering part a to my needs and not part b.. Obviously I go fuck yeah, I'll go for it. But When I don't have the second part which really I needed most because It's all ive had for ages, I get really upset and fuck everything up when I finally accept that she can't give me what I really needed, somone who cared about me, which unfortunatly made me get shy and upset when I'm arround her, thus fucking up any chance of part A.. which I really wouldn't mind.

edit:
I'de like to mention.. From the get go she's made it clear that she's not interested in a relationship.. I'm just stupid.

I might have rediscovered my recipe. I'll put it here before I forget:

Good weather + good day + healthy + music + video games + choco

Might have missed something there, but this should suffice.
