I've Been Depressed For Some Time Now.
Posted: 09-23-07 23:30pm

Hi everyone,

Let me just start off by saying, I'm not going to post anything personal on here, I have my reasons. Anyway, to make a long story short, I'm a junior in high school, 16, and have been depressed for oh, let's just say a while. I'm not coming here because this is my last resort. I'll be honest, I don't have a bad life at all. I have both my parents who are great to me, a good brother, nice house, nice town, a good group of friends, and decent to good grades. I'm just looking for some advice on how to handle my situation.

I feel awkward around a lot of people in my life, I feel isolated a good amount of time in school. I have an average body and when I look at myself I get disgusted. See, I can easily lose weight, but my marijuana use has me binge eating, so I seem to stay at the same weight. I find that pot is the only thing that really keeps me in check and going in life among other drugs. (Don't preach to me about drugs, I know how to use them safely and which ones to stay clear from) If I'm not high on something, I feel like caca. I don't have a girlfriend, don't talk to many girls, and have never had any meaningful relationship with a girl. I know your going to say, "well your just 16", but in a world where everyone is getting laid, has a solid girlfriend, and is loving life, It gets pretty rough. To finish it up, let's just say I go to school WAY more times high and messed up then not.

Any advice or comments, feel free.

No, I'm more into beer, DXM, oxycotin, perkisets, shrooms and im trying to score some acid, and honestly, i'm doing more and more then I would when I was normal and I was just experimenting.

Weed is the only thing keeping my life more less normal, so I'm gonna keep up with that.

ahh

why?
really? so you can be "numb"
so you dont have to deal with all the "stress" in life
or b/c it makes you feel good maybe?

shrooms...not so much
but bars and oxy
tisk tisk tisk
and you wanna become an alcoholic eh? is that what you want to do with your life?

just answer this one question for me: what are your goals?

I was waiting for a response like this, It's fine you don't really know me or anything so I can understand. Look, I'm going to become an architect, how do I know this? I'm great at math and great at CAD (involves designing and building houses, etc.).

The drugs I do are safe in the long run, I probably do drugs other then pot every week and a half to two weeks, and honestly they have only opened my mind and helped me become me. As for an alcoholic, no thanks. I've seen it happen to parts of my family. Last time i drank was last night. Wanna know the time before? about three-four months ago.
