when i was 16 i left home to live with a true hippie from the sixties who was 18 years my senior.........i was lead in to a world full of hash hence my name sensamelia.........i dont regret it .i do regret the relationship as it was very violent...we did a lot of speed ,opium and shrooms.....the question i have for anyone out thereis this...........for the past ten years i have suffered with various mental illnesses ranging from depression ,anxiety, panic attacks and agrophobia ..........i am now at the right side of it with a lot of help and support...........could the drugs be the cause....if anyone can help me please
If a person has problems, I think the drugs can make them more apparent. Just like if you are happy drugs can make that more evident too. The mood and setting that you take drugs is the most important predictor of how they will affect you. I would suspect it was more the relationship than the drugs. However, I am often wrong.
thanks for that i suspect the relationship had a lot to do with it but i just heard that you have reactions later in life
Well I am still waiting to have my first one (grin) and as you can see I have had a lot of years to wait.
I watch Loveline enough to know if a girl leaves home at 16 to be with a 34 year old man, you probably already had some underlying emotional problems, the drug abuse may or may not have increased the effects.
almost any of those drugs, if abused, can cause some rather unpleasant mental states. your drug use may very likely have contributed to your problems. they certainly are unlikely to have helped very much, at any rate. sounds to me like the bad relationship would be much more harmful, though. agoraphobia, for instance, doesnt usually manifest as a result of having a bad trip or getting too stoned. phobias are learned and must be reinforced to really become embedded in a person's mind. i think that if you have some severe mental disorders the best option to look for is therapy and support from qualified professionals with good reputations, as well as friends and family. it sounds like you're on the right track, to me. if you're still using these drugs, i'd say that cutting most of them out of your life completely could be a big help, but do it a step at a time. i know a lot of people who can't even smoke pot because of anxiety issues. (btw, sensamelia isn't a word in any language. sinsemilla, however, is a term for seedless marijuana that comes from the spanish "sin," pronounced like scene, which means without, and "semilla" [say-mee-ah] which means seed. the word has been used in jamaican slang and worked its way into other cultures as a bastardized version of the original words, with many mangled pronunciations arising as it gets further from its original source. and though it comes from the spanish sinsemilla, it is more often spelled sensi- in english speaking countries, presumably because its more natural for the anglo tongue)
Agreed. I've known plenty of people that have suffered moderate to severe anxiety, panic attacks, and depression from speed and/or ice.
no im not taking any of these drugs now...as for sensamelia its just my interpretation on the word i know what it is smoked a klot in the early daze
my man tupac said it... "life goes on" i've been really depressed before, still kind of am sometimes, but never to the same extent that it used to be. maybe you have to see past the relationship you had, take it on as a bad experience. of course you wont ever be able to just completely forget about it, this isnt Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but i dont believe forgetting it wouldnt be so great. it will help you see that there is bad in the world , so you have to watch for signs of anything else bad coming your way. relationships can sadly be the worst thing to go through. just remember theres always good and bad days. and there is always a future, and you can decide where it takes you... life goes on good luck
ok done all that doctor stuff and its just more pills .im really ok now .i think.anyway i prefer alternative medicine to stuffing my self full of prescribed drugs.........kinda defeats the whole point
Well you might just be surprised who some of these pot-heads are. Some of us could put a letter or two after our names if we wanted to (grin)
