Truly means a lot right now

[jessed03]

You're welcome Amanda!

Tell us a bit about yourself, your age, where you're from, your job, how your anxiety started, any of that stuff.

Help us know you a bit better :)

[amanda70]

Well I'm from canada
I'm 18
I don't have a job
My anxiety started from birth
Depression started in grade 9 after I started hard drugs
Ive been clean for 2 years
I graduated from high school
I have a boyfriend of 2 years
I was doing well for awhile but then things changed and things happened. It seems like every 6 months something happens that sets me back and breaks me down. And it's a constant struggle and I'm sick of it:(

[jessed03]

Where abouts in Canada, I have a few buddies there?

So anxiety started from birth, well, that sucks... I'm sorry.

I was an anxious kid too. Pity we weren't at the same school together, I could have used an anxious friend when I was 8 lol.

Congrats on getting clean and staying clean from drugs. That's cool :) not easy, for sure.

Have you ever tried any meds or had therapy for your anxiety/depression?

[amanda70]

BC
haha yeah I went to counseling/doctors/meds/hospitals the whole 9 yards from age 3-17.
I don't do any of it anymore I'm sick of it and all it does it make it worse and make me suicidal.

[jessed03]

Ok no problem.

Do you still do pot? Does it help?

[amanda70]

Smoke weed yes. Used to everyday and it helped but where I live it's more difficult so I do maybe once a week and it's a big relief. Once I get a job I'll be back to smoking it maybe everyday.

[jessed03]

Yeah, yeah sure, some find pot helps their anxiety. Hey, if the drugs and therapy don't work, you've gotta find something, somewhere, right ;)

Didn't help me man, my cousin has schizophrenia, I tried it to calm me down, freaked sooooo bad thinking I'd gotten it.

Now I'm more relaxed though they call me Jesse Marley. Jk

[amanda70]

Hahaha exactly!
I mostly use to it relax at night and fall a sleep plus I like the high. I smoke after a anxiety attack but I push through my anxiety and depression. Then when it's over I'll blaze to reward myself and relax.

It has started to give me anxiety so I make sure I'm in the right place with the right people and I'm all good!

They call me Amanda B :) lol

Hi, Amanda.

I used to live on the island near Vic and in Vic. I can't smoke alone any more or it gives me anxiety :(

Welcome to the forum! :) Lots of awesome people here

[amanda70]

Hi:) aw well you just gotta do what makes you feel the most comfortable. Sometimes I smoke alone and anxiety comes up but I just push it away and enjoy my high the best I can!!

[Th13thOne]

I used to do that until it got really bad for me. Maybe you've inspired me to give another go sometime. :)

[amanda70]

Just keep yourself occupied
