I got diagnosed with this a few months ago after I had a lot of bottled up emotions building within me. Anyone else dealing with this? I found that a good balance of marijuana use helps manage it pretty well but it can still be a bitch to deal with sometimes. How have you all dealt with it?
I think I can relate. For a while I used to feel alot of anxiety, and at times depressed. Smoking pot was more for leisure than to aid my emotions. Not saying it didn't help. It actually did make my anxiety worse, which I've had to deal with recently by cutting down. I think the best thing to do would be to cut down on your pot smoking and try to dig deep into your thoughts and figure out why it is you feel these emotions. You could consider seeing a psychiatrist too. All the best.
I did a little therapy but it was too much of me talking and not enough of getting answers. I've been sober for abount a month now actually not counting a few days ago and my depression has been flaring up and i've been gettin more anxious. I decided i'm going to take up boxing so I can get the best form of exercise and so I can build confidence and self-esteem.
I have that too. I did the psychiatrist route for a few years. I ended up drinking a lot and taking a lot of pills. It just didn't work for me. It is hard to find a good dr, though. Now I take St. John's Wort everyday and valerian and chamomile when I need it. It's not a cure all. Nothing is. It's getting better, though. I'm starting to recognize when depression is coming or anxiety and I try to curtail it. I eat a lot of fruits and veggies, too. Your boxing thing will make you feel better, I bet. D
Sucks that you can't cure it, the depression and anxiety together is tough to deal with. I've got a pretty crappy diet so maybe i'll change that up.
