oK so anyways dont put me in time-out if theres another thread open like this. but Im looking for an edeucated answer on this one.

Ok anyways, for a few years (even before i started smoking), Ive been going through alota stuff with school, social life, family, relationships. And its really been bringing me down, and still whenever im sober i get these feelings again. But when i smoke up they dont seem to bother me as much. But Will surpressing these feelings and not seeking help, but rather than keeping them deep down inside, come back and bite me in the butt later on. Is this just gonna make me even more depressed in the future? Im not suicidal or anything like that, But these feelings just make me feel obsolete and like im Nobody and just a failure at life.

Ok so im not asking if its not a good idea. Because i know its not. But I have a extremely difficult time of opening up to anyone because im scared too. But what I want to know is hiding my problems behind marijuana will just add to the problem and later on in life just making me even more depressed.

Depends on how rough are these problems. And its up to you to tell how rough they are. Using any drug to supress feelings imo is not really a good thing, i've done it myself. Smoke a joint to forget that you just broke up, smoke a joint because you got a C in math. I dont know how bad are your problems, but if you feel that its really buggin you look for help or talk to a really good friend

good luck man

Time Out! oh wait...j/k time in agian. thats the only thread open, you might find some info in that thread bout supressing...i dont know..i never got to re-read it.

yeah. but if i were you, i wouldnt supress them, well because, it might be hard to get them back, and well, the supressed emotions can be kind of a bumber, it'll effect you more than what you might think. now actually, i cant tell you what to do because well, i dont know the true story, BUT, however, if you do decide to do it, i shall forewarn you. it will come back and bite you in the ass

another thing, you arent a failure, from what i've read, you seem like a really cool person. i, too, have trouble opening up to anyone i know in real life. what i do, i find some people that are fun to talk to online, and i talk to them about my problems. there are some excelent talkers here at cheaptalk, and if you need any help, you can instant messege me on AIM. i'm on like all the time. usually between 2:30pm - 10:30pm (US mountain time).

but, if i were you, i wouldnt smoke just to ignore your problems, because the next thing you know, you'll become dependent on it and whenever something bad happens, you'll want to smoke, and when you dont have anything to smoke (may not be right now, but i garantee that it will in the future) it'll make you even more depressed and well...thats no good. hope i didnt bore you with all the commas and drag on sentances.

Be Swell.

Thanx Leithreas and DM!! its nice to know people actually care sometimes, I know I shouldnt but its just the easy way out of my problems. I wish I had some friends who i could talk to but they would just poke fun at me. until i figure what to do ill bury my sorrows at the bottom of this bowl

Here's my view -- suppression is definitly not a good thing, I think we have all been in those situations where life sucks so much simply becasue we waited to long to deal with issues. About that whole, who do you go vent to thing. People always say to find a good friend, but truelly trustworthy people and friends are few and far between. Sometimes it is easier to talk to someone you dont know very well. Also, I have found smoking to deter my thoughts from my problems as you have and as most do, but you can also use the drug as an assistance to start talking about your issues. The weed might help you figure out other perspectives to your problems. Im sure that there are people you smoke with would be willing to be a listener to a stoned ranting. Best of luck

Well, I think it depends on your problems in life that your trying to escape.

If you have a chemical problem then your not escaping anything, your HELPING yourself.

If you have a problem in your life that you think you need to fix, then it just depends on how much you smoke. Maybe smoking a little can take off the edge of anxiety, so that you can then focus on what you need to do.

Thats what it does with me anyways, it helps me be more productive in life.

Using Cannabis to change extreme sadness to extreme happiness is a very bad idea. It has been my personal experience that it never helps because Cannabis usually enhances your feelings and emotions. You can obviously see why this is just a bad idea in general.

Hey I think i have been there too. I was suffering from a manic depression. My best friend that I wrapped three years of my life around left me. I fellt empty and this was the first time in my life I ever felt this way. I tried to find a way to make me happy. Parents put me on pill 250millagram. I hate takeing pills and would rather find a nother way out. In the mean time I was suicidel. I took pilland washed them down with vodka, I would find that cutting my wrists would only hurt for a min but In that min I wasn't thinking about my depression I was thinking about something else. The night that oppened my eyes I almost killed myself. I popped pill then drank some vodka sky blue. I went to sleep thinking that I never wanted to wake up. I woke up. Trying to make it to the stairs and down them were quit hard. I couldn't see anothing strait and I ended up falling down my stairs head first. I crawled to the bathroom and tryed to throw the poison up. My mother is a nurse, so I woke her up and in order for me to throw up my mom had to shove a toothbrush down my throat. Imade her promise me that she wouldn't take me to the hospital. So she sat by me and helped me throw up. Then till I feel a sleep she would hold the glass of water to my mouth, causeI was so shacky that I couldn't hold it. The next day I decided that I really din't want to die I was just suffering from depression and I am a very strong person and I will find a way to cure it. The problem is you never can cure depression. you can only learn how it effects you, and learn how to make the best of those affects. My parents brought me to c help, but all they did was tell me things that I already new about myself. So i desided that I will maintain this depression inside of me. I started smokeing. Not alot but just enough to help me figure out why was I so depressed. I found that When I smoked I thought about things I never thought about. like how I could find happyness. And I met some really insipireing people alone the way. Most of them smoke and they tought me how to think bout the good and not the bad. I used green for my antidepressent. A little of everything can help you and alot of something can hurt you. I would like to talk some time. And I wish you fined happyness where it is hard to find.

I've always sort of looked mj in much the same way I look at a vacation. It's there so you can take a break from your problems, not solve them. How many times have you heard "Drugs won't solve your problems, they're always there when you come down!"

Well . . . Disney World won't solve your problems either, but you never hear people talking cr*p about Disney.

To me MJ is very much like a chemical Disney World. If you're using it to fix your problems, then you're gonna be disappointed. If you're using it to just take a break from your problems for a few hours, than you'll probably be pleased.

Good luck finding the answers you seek. . . and don't let the paranoia screw with ya.

You know what I'm saying.

Here is what I see:

You recognize that are depressed and it is not simply a case of the blues.
You recognize that depression is painful and you want to remove that pain.
You cannot remove that pain now but you can suppress it somewhat.
You are concerned that your method of pain suppresion may have a future negative impact, towit, an increase of pain.

You are very intelligent and extrememly intuitive. You should consider a job in the field of psychology.

You know that the triggers for your depression are things you have to learn to deal with in your life, and you want a method of dealing with them that will permanently stop the pain, but you need to know that it is okay to use medication to decrease the pain if you are self aware that is in fact what you are doing.

You will need to find a counselor to discuss the day to day happenings in your life, but you will need to find a psychologist you feel comfortable with. One way to do this is, if you are on health insurance, look through your health insurance providers book of services and start calling psychologists, counselors and interviewing them over the phone. You'll get a feeling about the ones you would go to and the ones that give you an icky feeling. While you may not always agree with your psych, you should at least be able to respect their opinion.

If you are not on insurance, look up on the web for NAMI (National Alliance for the Mentally Ill) in your county and state and contact them for information on all the support groups for your age group in the area.

Talking through your day to day life with others provides a "reality check" for you. This in turn will increase your trust of your own perceptions and then your own decisions. IN turn the rise in self esteem will allow you to better deal with what life tosses at you, and you will now have a support system to help handle it.
