I've lately just not really cared much about life. And I'm kinda bored with life a lot more recently too. I've been smoking heavily for nearly a year now, and I'm wondering if weed can have this effect on a person, or if it has nothing to do with weed at all.

I've felt that way alot before I started smoking while I smoked when I would quit for periods its just there sometimes. I saw a psychiatrist and it (at least in my case) was a symptom of depression. Not all depression is sadness and anger. Symptoms can also include feelings of boredom or a strong sense of misdirection or lack of direction in life.

I don't think it’s the weed but you could always quit for a few months if you want to be sure. If you think you really need help go see a physiatrist ant they can prescribe Zoloft or some other drug.

I found that the thing that helps me most is just focusing on the small things I really like such as smoking or playing a video game.

I've heard of people getting really disconnected from everything after too much smoking.

However, the few times it's happened to me, I wasn't smoking too often. Also, I've been smoking a few times a day recently, and I feel anything but disconnected from life.

i bet you have stumbled into a specific routine in your daily regimen. i had done the same thing a while ago, but the best thing i could recomend is try growing a plant or two, i think that it worked wonders for me. If that is out of the question, take up something that you are intrested in, all you need is something else to keep your mind on when your not high, or else, all you will think about is either getting high, or your actual high. Well, im just talking from experience.

btw, how old are you?

basically, weed could be doing it, but it is also in your head, sometimes the world is boring, when your stuck in the same house, or neighbor hood, with the same boring people over and over. feel free to pm me if you want to, my fingers are always ready to type.

good luck

Hmm, maybe I'm depressed

of course, it has somethin to do with pot, but not just pot, life in general too...You gotta think about it. Its not marijuana that caused that but you. If you cant really handle smoking everyday because it demotivates you, just don't do it.

Take a break and it will be okay,

The real question here is..how old are you

If your a teen(ager) that probaly is the reason.

If your older than that maybe as christine said you are just in a routine that's boring. A rut as they say . Sometimes life gets really boring and monotonous, it's hard not to be un-motivated during stretches like that. It happens to non-tokers too though, alot of my buddies who don't smoke get depressed like that alot.

Yep. As cliche as it sounds, you gotta have goals. Smoking can be an aid in self-acceptance, but sometimes, acceptance and peac within yourself isn't gonna put you through law school on its own. Find something you want to do, and do it. New job, a marathon, a sport or hobby you've never tried...

cause, dude, life gets boring if you're not making it exciting. Work your ass off for something, and you'll appreciate the results.

Because weed is a euphorant...makes you happy...it can make you feel the "downs" of melancholy that much more...

Sounds like you have a mild depression and a mild long acting medication such as Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac or any of the Wellbutrin, Effexor, type medications could be prescribed to you if in fact that is the case.

Most important is to see your doctor to make sure you don't have some other problem causing you to feel down that would need to be treated -- could be serious like diabetes...could be a long term illness like mononucleosis...

Since we are not physician's here, we can't diagnose you, and of course no good doctor would diagnose you over a website.

But do see your doctor and yes...take a blood test and a urine test...they will test for illnesses, not pot.

i went to see a shrink because of those feelings (although she didn't help at all) and i figured out that I just felt guilty about smoking so much, knowing it's bad for your lungs and not caring, knowing it's illegal, knowing my parents would be disappointed, and knowing i'm spending too much of my money on something that will probably just waste my time instead of build my future.

=oP what a downer!

but anyways, i'm over it; smoke about once or twice a month (mooch), smoke hookah a few times a week.
