Idk maybe somebody has advice?

[jnegrych]

I dont really know why im posting here, maybe a lil bit of advice or support would help. But for the past while maybe a year now ive just become insanely depressed and inwardly focused. I keep looking at my past self and to where im at now and honestly I wish I could turn the clock back. I've become socially put off from my friends, like i dont know why? im disinterested from everything... its like i have no more faith in myself anymore.
I was born with FAS, adhd and OCD and sometimes i feel like im a complete fucking social failure and retard cause of it.
I guess I was given this hand of cards and have to play with it. But i dont know how to make the best of my situation... honestly im feeling more removed from society and people everyday.

Are you into any drugs? Is your friends into any drugs? Are you from any sort of scene?

Maybe you either need to go on medication for your disorders, or if your already on meds for them, maybe you need to switch meds. I went thru this with my wife but she never wanted to listen to my advice so she just suffered. Think about it.. Hope you you figure this out and have a blessed day buddy!

Dude, I feel ya.

First things first, stop thinking about the past. I find that when I look back at all the "fun" times Ive had, I start to wish things were like that again, and I start getting depressed because things suuck at that point. the thing to remember is that what ever is going on now, at some point youll wish to be back there.

Second, if your doing drugs, that can be a major part of it. Meds dont work when your doing drugs because your brain chemicals are always fluctuating and therefore the meds cant stabilize you.

Also, what drugs are you doing? ime certain drugs make me more depressed and crazy, but somehow I dont really notice it and I think something is wrong with me at the time. IV coke makes me super crazy, angry, depressed, suicidal, after Ive been doing it for a while.

My suggestion, if your doing lots of drugs, stop and get on some meds. if your only say smoking and such then maybe try switching meds or get to some therapy. try looking into buddhism, I find that sort of helped me. mostly getting sober and letting the meds do their work and my mind re stabilize itself.

I smoke alot of weed, thats another huge problem in itself. I cant go a day without being high. I think its a repeat cycle, like feel depressed, smoke weed to counter the depression... feel even more depressed when you come down ect.,
My problem is I havent given myself enough time off weed. I went sober for 6 days and i could start to see some progress but then the weed kept calling to me lol
Also I think i might be still tripping from my shroom and acid trips. Ive done rank doses like half o's.
Mainly my heads just in a whirl and somedays i just want to snap out of it and shake my head and wake up out of this funk.

I think that if you are naturally introverted cannabis can make it worse. I am introverted but have recently been making it a point to socialize with people, friends, girls, strangers anybody that is down with it and it has been one of the best things I have done for my life. Cutting way back on my cannabis consumption was a major part of it to the point I only smoke maybe once a week when with friends. When I smoke once a week it's really easy to see what cannabis does to me in social situations. Before I smoke I am very social, but as soon as I smoke I get locked up into my head and don't talk as much and am not as much fun to be around.

My advice would be to stop taking all drugs and alcohol for as long as you can stand it and take the "risk" of putting yourself out there around other people. It's terrifying at first, but the more you do it, the more you realize it's actually awesome and that your relationships with other people are a very important piece of your life. Trust me when your spending time with good friends, and one on one time with pretty girls your mood will improve.

Great advice! That's really true about smoking weed and getting stuck in your own head. And point being said i can say the same thing... im sociable up until i get high and i guess thats my problem is being too introverted because of weed.
