All the marijuana in the world won't take away your depression. In fact, more likely than not, it is part of the cause of your depression. To avoid using it, please seek out some help from friends that don't use it or seek professional help. I'm not saying that it can't be done on your own, but, it is so extremely hard to do alone, it is always easier when you have someone in whom you can confide. (GOOD LUCK)

Since you are having the problem of your weight going up and down because you get hungry but can't eat it. What then causes the weight to go up? Going down I can understand because of it not staying down.

I might not be the one to give advice to you because I am over 300#, but I used to be almost 500#. It took me almost 20 years to lose the weight but I feel better and can get around a lot easier. I now am walking with a cane where I used to have a walker and a fold-up wheelchair. It has now been 15 years since I have needed either.

I lost the weight using two things. First, was the medication that I am still taking. It is called Zonagran. And the second was the help and understanding that I got from my friends. When I thought I couldn't go on any more, my friends comforted me and gave me the strength not to over eat so much. I do admit that I do still overeat some but not anywhere the amount that I used to do.

I have also just found out from my doctor that i Type II Diabetes and that it is already affecting my feeling in my feet. I now have Neuropothy from the balls of my feet forward to the ends of my toes. It is like walking with a tennis ball stuck under my toes all the time. It's like trying to walk uphill on your heels. Very difficult to do.

I hope that this will help you out some. Best of luck in kicking the marijuana and I hope you get out of you depression slump. I also wish you all the best in eating and keeping the food down.

I didn't think of it before, but if you talk to a nutritionist at a clinic or hospital, they might be able to help you as well.

Find a good Mental health Facility in your area and make a appointment to see a counselor. Also tell MOM and Dad or another adult that you trust,what you are feeling and going through. They will probably not understand at first but after the initial shock wears off they will help you find your way.... You'll never find peace until you deal with your emotional baggage and put closure to it...A good psychologist can help you through this dark time into the light again... marijuana only mask your feelings, it doesn't cure them....
You did the right thing by asking for help but we can only make suggestions to you. It's you that has to put that advice into action.
I wish you the best .... Life will get better if you let it happen

Answer 4

you are clearly feeling down you don't give too much detail but you must stop smoking cannabis as it will make you paranoid, all it does is numb the senses and block out the real issues so you end up in a very vicious circle whereby you numb the senses as you think you feel better when actually you feel very little, seek help from your G.P and sort this now you are only 21 and clearly you have plans by the way you speak of going to college, please don't ruin yous future, you have your whole life in front of you. Your Doctor will help and if you are depressed then he can prescribe you something to help you through. talk to your family and friends and look at all the positives in your life, they will outweigh the negatives and build from that good luck and stay well

Answer 5

You need to realize your past is past, let it go, you cannot change it and need to except it and move on. You need to focus on what you want out of your life. You are young and have many great years to look forward to, make it happen for your self by going after it, nobody will do it for you. Life has not let you down, you let your self down and obviously have realized that by crying out. Sit your self down and write, write about where you would like to see your self in 5 years and work towards that goal. Stay away from the weed and you will see a big change in your moods in just a few days. GL =)

Answer 6

First things, first. Get off the drugs. Hard ~ yes, but that is what is causing your depression (or at least contributing to it). Get to a doctor (psychologist), maybe you have a chemical imbalance caused by the marijuana and all you will need is some medication to balance you back out. Don't delay, as this can be very dangerous. Good luck.

I am there myself and I have been writing in a journal lately and getting my feeling down. It seems to be helping. I am one step further I feel like my feelings are not valid and I need a reason to hurt like this so I have found myself cutting my thighs. I hate it when I do it but it seems to help me. Please don't get to the point of hurting your self. You are a good person and there are people that love you. I have tried to kill myself before and I hurt to many people in my life. I just feel like I let them down all the time. I just find stuff to challenge myself now. Like I am going to sign up for a collage class next year but for now I am taking an on line computer class. it gives me something to look forward to. Try to find something to sign up for or make some plans with a friend. I wish I could help you more. Good Luck and please get some help...

My best advice is to be your own doctor. Go on the internet and do online questionnaires for mood and/or personality disorders. See which one fits you best, then research the best medications to treat that disorder. Armed with this information, either go to your GP or make an appointment with a psychiatrist and discuss what you've learned about yourself. Ask to try medication - if it doesn't seem to be helping after a few weeks or the side affects are too strong, go back to the doctor and discuss switching to another drug. Whilst doing this, attempt therapy - it's not for everyone, but give it a go. if you're not ready or can't afford it, at least try to find a group where you can talk if you want to just listen if you'd prefer.

1.- Get psychological help, they are professional in the handling of emotional baggages and can teach you what to do about yours to get rid of it and LIVE.
2.-Don't stop all by yourself marijuana, you will need support of an expert in addictions and a club of people that are leaving their drugs too. When you crave or feel desperate, they can help you.
3.-Write a diary everyday, it will help you get track of your emotions and compare your behavior of today with the one of the future. You will have ups and downs but you have to be aware of them when they happen.

Answer 10

First of all things like alcohol and marijuana are depressants- You don't need depressants when you are depressed. The next thing you must do is exercise. I have had depression since I was your age and my doctor told me the best thing for depression is 30 minutes of exercise a day. It does just as good as PRESCRIPTION anti-depressants. I know its hard cause you don't feel like exercisong. But you MUST- 30 minutes of pretty vigorous exercise a day. EVERY DAY. It will increase your natural levels of seritonin
