• The Weed Induced Depression.
    40 replies, posted
I've always had a bad home life and my moments of depression but ever since I've started smoking weed I've lost all motivation/interest/care for life. I've gone into a permanent state of depression and [B]I don't care or have the motivation to pull myself through. [/B] All I want to do these days is just sleep in all day, get baked, eat and go back to sleep. I've spent over 2500$ on alcohol/drugs/parties over the last few months and I am running out of money! ): I'm never happy and am not looking forward to anything. It seems I have given up on life and [B]can't pull myself through[/B]. I'm just constantly descending. I haven't spoken to anybody about this nor do I want to. [B]My parents don't know how I feel[/B] or that I even toke up. I fake smiles and hide my feelings and have been doing so all my life. I need to let everything out but I have emotionally shut down. I think weed has attributed to this and I should stop but it's all I want to do. I was depressed before taking up smoking weed but it wasn't as serve.
Doesn't really sound weed induced to me.
I kinda have this, except the weed is to get away from everything and it lets me think
Well since smoking weed I have quit my job, spend over 2500$ on parties etc, not studied for my school certificate, not cared about school and quit hobbies when usually I don't think that I would have. I just constantly feel down when before starting to smoke weed I wasn't feeling down all the time.
well then don't smoke weed anymore
[QUOTE=Mumblecrust;26970099]well then don't smoke weed anymore[/QUOTE] It really is as simple as that, if you honestly think weed is the problem, then take weed out of the equation.
For me the only difference after started smoking weed two years ago is I am generally more chilled about stuff that annoys me, so I can't really offer any advice to you other than make your own decision whether you wish to stop or not, but from what your post states I agree with Mumble. It doesn't sound like your problems are fully down to weed. I can offer you this piece of advice however, about seven months back I had little motivation in my studies (hell, I still aint interested) but I began to learn that some things in life are to important to just shrug off, mabey you should think about where your priorities lie.
I don't want to give up weed, it's the only thing that I'm excited for these days. Maybe it isn't entirely the weed, I probably just needed to vent a little. It hasn't done much so I don't really know what to do, so I'll carry on how I have.
It's really bad to use drugs/alcohol to cope with your depression, stop doing that. Your depression will only get worse.
I get it pretty bad after a period of heavy smoking, and during periods of even heavier smoking. Lasts a few days to two weeks before my mood gets back to normal. Take a break. It'll get worse at first if you're anything like me, but after a few days to two weeks, you'll feel alot better. I'm not saying this it's weed withdrawal or anything.. people are going to react in different ways to psychoactive drugs, especially in the long term.

Have some self control. Sorry to be harsh, but it looks like you're just blaming everything you don't like about yourself on weed.

Stop using drugs.
you need to get ur priorities together, and get a job again.
it is NEVER the drugs fault. it is YOUR fault you quit your job, your fault you're wasting all this money, your fault you're not studying. stop blaming the drug and get your fucking act together. stop wasting your life.
I'm just about the same, OP, but the weed is to overcome all that bullshit. There's probably a deeper cause to it all and all you have to do is think what you can do to fix it. Toke up and let your mind wander man
Weed made me more aware of my actions and my mortality, I wouldn't call it depression, moreso than a reality check.
Weed made me more aware of my state of mind, I had never really thought about how I look at things or how I think until I started.
it goes like this smoke weed → get the "fuck that" attitude → miss school or something important → sober up → sad about bad decision
smoke weed until you can't remember depression
[QUOTE=Creephi;26981425]it goes like this smoke weed → get the "fuck that" attitude → miss school or something important → sober up → sad about bad decision[/QUOTE] I usually smoke weed then go do something, cause everything's better when you're high. I smoke weed -> write a paper, play basketball, play billiards, play video games, go to class, go on a walk, eat after i'm done, then i smoke more. typically i just smoke all the time and get shit done. be a productive stoner, not a statistic.
Stop drinking alcohol. Stop being helpless. If you really think you have an issue then you need to see a doctor.

Sorry you have to be a idiot though we cant all be graced with having free will of being able to do what we know is best like not quiting your job and blaming it on weed.
Prozac needs to meet you. Or either Zoloft.
It's not the weed, it's you. You are smoking up for the wrong reasons and then blaming the drug because you feel shit? If you're depressed and you smoke it's just going to make you more depressed. Figure out the root of the problem, stop smoking for the wrong reasons.
Take some acid and meditate.

Sounds like you were already depressed and you just needed something to blame it on.
[QUOTE=Broni;27002896]If you're depressed and you smoke it's just going to make you more depressed.[/QUOTE] For some people it does, for some it helps a lot.

I was depressed before taking up smoking weed but it wasn't as serve.[/QUOTE] Hey, me too. But I know that : Depression is depression. If all the factors that cause it are not addressed (for me I'm still jobless so the lack of money makes me depressed because I can't socialize in a capitalistic world w/o money!) Remember that: People who do stupid (not forgetful) things when high are usually just stupid anyway.
DMT is your solution.
