PrintableI gut it out daily until I don't want to step in front of a bus anymore....it's tricky for me....you see I come from an alcoholic family and there have been times I have just wanted to dive in to the family business and drink it all away, but there is some kind of switch in me that won't let me do destructive things to myself...so I am forced to gut it out... 
I am in one right now...dealing with the most difficult time in my life...I know time will heal me...but right now I feel lost and cornered.... I hope you feel better soon...  | |

Hope you feel better. Also, if you are on certain birth control pills that can make you crazy. These past few days for me have been terrible. I looked up testimonials from other women on the same pill and couldn't believe the shit I read. Women just can't seem to win! I've tried various pills ovr the years and every one has made me crazy. Mostly depression, but other symptoms as well. It's HORRIBLE. Condoms are the only BC I can use. |

Surround yourself with friends, co-workers, or family members that would truly support and uplift you. If you're a God-fearing woman/man, pray. It helps a lot. Some here say get out of the house. Agreed. | |

What happens when you try to walk without some weed? I know I'd walk a mile for some "good" weed, but being incapable of walking usually happens after I smoke too much. It has never happened beforehand. Please explain your plight.  What happens when I don´t have cannabis? I get aggressive & Nervious, And that day I must get some what ever the situation is. and if I walked without weed or pot I walk straight to the dealer. I live in Antigua and at the present moment there is a weed shortage on the island. (Mexican drug dealers killed some law officials and the U.S. Coast Guard is fucking up the waters around the Caribbean and all of Central and South America as a result). The local weed doesn't get ready for harvest for a few more months and I just say well ... there's no weed. Life goes on. I save a lot on groceries. And I just have to wait until the crisis is over. I've never seen anyone addicted to weed in my life. [Edited 6/29/09 9:27am] | |

Meds & therapy.
I think the meds are good to get you out of immediate danger - prevent the panic and under-the-bus feelings. But longer term I think that therapy helps more. Oh, and being nice to yourself, accepting that you're not weak and it's not your fault - just temporary faulty wiring, chemical imbalances in the brain or such. Definitely the outdoor walks - I was forced by immediate family to get out once a day, no matter how difficult and little by little you feel more like getting out of the house yourself. | |

PurpleJedi said: I have occassional bouts of depression, (not serious clinical depression, just bouts of being down in the dumps), and interestingly I find myself playing sad/melancholy music. I actually burned a CD with songs that I find "haunting" like Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday" and Prince's "There Is Lonely" (even Guns-n-Roses' "November Rain" is in there)...and I find it soothing.
Weird huh? You'd think I'd be listening to C+C Music Factory instead to try to cheer up!  | |

I go to the gym even more than I normally do. Sometimes Life is like the post...You just don't get it! | |

We've all been there hun. When my mom died...the sun fell out of the sky. Dont isolate yourself and DEFINITELY GET THERAPY...and write things down...and dont turn down the meds. You dont want to find the bottom....it might be too far to climb out Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian, any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. | |
