I have depression and anxiety and ive noticed that smoking weed helps SOOOO much more than the pills. Ive already been cought smoking and my parents say if they catch me one more time they would put me in a foster home. How can i tell my parents that smoking weed helps me and make them understand?
If you smoke weed its your choice, and its understandable that you would want to escape depression and anxiety. But that's a dangerous road. Using anything as an escape from problems, like drugs, alcohol, or even video games, is the most likely to lead to a dependancy.
Any of your friends smoke as well? Try being a social smoker and see how that goes. Most people prefer it that way.
your just putting a bandage on the issue you need longterm help to fix the issue , this is not a way to deal with it .
Well for starters, you have to be pretty much retarded to get caught. Secondly, why tell them? It won't change the fact that you're not allowed to smoke it. Just keep trying to hide it and forget about it.
Tell your doctor. You probably need to switch pills. Also, pills can't work if you are using illegal drugs.
Smoking won't make your depression better. It will for the short term, but each time you smoke it's going to cover it up worse and worse. Running from the problem only makes it worse, this includes your pills too. You have to actually take your meds, stay positive, and just accept life as it is. I had terrible terrible TERRIBLE depression for a full year when I was 14 and 15. No emotion, brain dead, living in a grey world with no hope. It went away strangely enough on it's own. I still do nothing but sit on the computer all day alone but I am so so happy just because its infinitely better then those days.
Im not trying to run away im trying to help it and when i smoke im not running away or pushing things off to the sides, it takes away the stress of things and im able to take things at my own pace and feel really happen, it helps me think more clearly and thats why i think it really helps.
Yea you might "think" that weed is gonna help with you depression and anxiety, but eventually that shit WILL catch up with you and have the complete opposite effect on you.
I say have fun with it for now if you think that's whats best, but don't think that It's gonna be a long term solution because its not.
"I have depression and anxiety and ive noticed that smoking weed helps SOOOO much more than the pills"
I used to do this....eventually it just makes it worse though.
I think you should tell them but I also think it would be right of them to prevent you smoking weed because it could really harm you.
Just explain to them, straight up; if you're worried about words, maybe try a letter or something. However, Rehearsing it in your head over and over again could make you more depressed. Get it over and done with and, if they put you into foster care without trying to help you, it's their stupid loss. :)
Get medical marijuana if you are serious about doing it for your health, talk to your doctor and tell them about how weed has helped you. Trust me i work for a dispensary
Fumigate your house, but don't use the commercial aerosol product, burn all your weed at once and fill your whole house with the smoke.
Im 16 and i know what im doing, i have the right mindset and i dont smoke a lot just enough to keep my depression/anxiety under control and i also meditate.
The question is how old are you? If they're really serious about the foster care thing, I don't know if you should tell them... Unfortunately as long as you're under 18 they have a good bit of control over you. I'm 22 and I still haven't told my parents because I'm sure they would find a way to force me into rehab.
Just flat out tell 'em. If they love you, they should care more about your mental health, than about you doing something that's not OK with them (but which they themselves might very well have done too in their younger years).
