I've been on 20mg of fluoxetine a day for a couple of
weeks... it's just kinda taking the "edge" off the
depression at the moment. Apparently it takes a few weeks to
kick in. I still feel worried, anxious and lonely, but i
don't have the same pathetic crying fits. I know it's a poor
solution, but my "herbal" medication seems to help more.

As a relative newbie I send my wishes to all on meds here...
I was wondering what the 'depression scene' on this board
was like I figured it would be pretty high; not neccessarily
a bad thing IMO. I think a lot of interesting people suffer
from depression (I have been on effexor for going on 2
years... ahem). Good luck to you all.

Depression is not sexy, it is not a lifestyle, it is a
horrible state that makes you feel like a horrible person.
Once you label yourself as "depressed", it's hard to shake
off because you start to over-analyse every thought you
have. You absolutely cannot define yourself by depression.
It is not your personality.

very true deepspace... I find there are no real redeeming

But you define your surroundings and envoriment thru your
depression, therfore it is an "aesthetic" state of mind,
which manifests itself in a kinda pseudo "lifestyle".

Im a hermit, too. Mostly cause I live in the country. I
haven't always. I was in cities and townships and much more
sociable. Being a hermit crept up on me. You get more
antisocial the more time you spend with yourself in your
predictable environment. It's not good. It takes time to
break, like a fever.

i think in some cases a pill can help a lot, but in others
it may not work at all. But I think the best treatment is a
combination of both medication and counselling etc.

ive been suffering from depression, anxiety and social
anxiety for 3 years.Ive been on a few different medications;

-cipramil didnt do anything for me.
-avanza (mirtazapine) made my depression worse but didnt
affect anxiety, but it made me put on 8-9 kilos and i found
it extremely difficult to wake up to go to uni. So i missed
a lot of uni.
-and now im taking efexor, and seeing a psychiatrist and a
cognitive therapist. But I havnt been taking efexor long
enough to see the results yet.

this thread is very interesting to me..
i'm not really an extremely depressed person.. or at least
not consistently. .. i mean i may have a very violently
powerful bout of sadness every few days, but i am good at
suppressing it (maybe that's not a good thing) or expressing
it in a healthy way.. i can usually eventually put life in
general into perspective and realise that things aren't so
bad for me and it can always improve if i give it a chance
and some more effort..
but what's more bothering to me is a sense of not being able
to control my own thoughts.. and not in a purely "high-low"
emotion type of way.. sometimes i just get very strange,
unwanted ideas or impulses that i can't really shake.. and
it's not like they are often artistic or creative.. just
weird and inexplicable.. i mean, i can always control
myself, and i am a very "inhibited" type person.. but
sometimes the most awful thoughts will go through my head
and i can't make them leave.. like my brain is taunting
itself in a way.. i can always ultimately "overcome" it, but
it's like part of my brain is making cruel and abhorrent
comments to itself.. like it makes me think of the most
inappropriate things and then further embellish and deepen
them the more i try to make them stop..
i don't know.. perhaps i am just making myself sound worse
off than i really am.. but i just don't know how to describe
it..
anyone else have any idea what i am describing?
not that i want to label myself as having a certain
personality-fault or disorder.. i'd just like to maybe shed
a bit of light on it..
Errrr.. maybe,, never mind..

and neetta, if you dont feel 'healty' taking prozac, it
might not be for you. But it would be best to talk to your
GP or psychiatrist about how it makes you feel.

Oh and i used to have pretty vivid nightmares multiple times
a night, like really really bad ones. But I dont get them as
much as I used to now, I still get them every few nights,
which is a little over normal i think.

Sorry I have to go to uni now, I will read through the whole
thread after I get back and post a bit more.

Thanks :)

People who are depressed and paranoid probably shouldn't
smoke weed. It might be the cause. Was for me.

Anyone tried a natural anti-depressant like St Johns Wort,
supposed to be as effective as prozac but without the nasty
side effects

I like to think that smoking pot is a god anti depressant.
But more so, its a tool to help moods that are
anti-depressing from your own growth. If you have a mindset
of, "Hey, I'm going enjoy life and find the good in
everything and not associate with people who are even
remotely involved with negative emotions," then you are
already a positive person. If you want to be even more
positive, smoke weed on top of that. It's like icing on the
cake. Don't use weed as a means of "forgetting shit" or
"Getting fucked up", use it as something that helps you be
more creative and makes you want to work hard and focus on
what it is you're doing.

Say you want to be a body builder. Smoke weed and go to the
gym. You'll enjoy the activity more than you would normally,
plus you're doing what you want to make yourself happy.

Its just a never ending cycle of positives.

GURLLLLLL, I don't care much for names of weed, but
apparaently, "Northern Lights", "Dansters Paradise", the
really really green fluffy stuff that you can throw to a
wall and it just sticks, I think thats good weed. And I get
it whenever I'm in the mood for free. So I like to think I
smoke good weed.

But you know how when you're high, and you write music or do
something in general, you think you're the best at it? Wait,
that sounds too arrogant...you REALLY enjoy what it is
you're doing, thats what I'm talking about.

Alls I'm sayin is, do things that make you happy while high.
It's a double anti-depressant! :D I jut meant go to the gym
as an example. Its kinda fun to get stoned and go to an
indoor court and hear all the beautiful reverberations and
shoot hoops and try ridiculous shots and get good at
basketball.

I think in general after long term use it can end up being
more of a depressant, especially with the majority of stuff
going round these days. People are breeding for higher TCH
content just to make it knock you out more, where a good
smoke shoud always have a good mixture of TCH and
canabanoids, that's what gives you a feel good factor ;o)



 

offline swift_jams from big sky on 2009-01-16 19:04 [#02265324]
Points: 7577 Status: Lurker



I can agree with that. It seems like weed is getting better
and better everyday, different strains and whatnot, and
yeah, because tolerance and need levels are increasing.
Personally, I find it best to not get retarded stoned
anymore, but you know, just get high so you can still enjoy
stuff but not to the point of it distorting a sober life.

As with all things so powerful, its gotta be used in
moderation and with a positive mindset.

Question for you: Blunts, joints, or glass?
