I am an occasional smoker and cannabis usually makes my thoughts race, its great in social environments, for creative thinking, and it preoccupies my mind when I am bored and elevates my depression by shifting my attention away from my troubles...However in this instance I am depressed because my girlfriend recently broke up with me.

Usually in just normal depression Cannabis helps me a lot but in this case will it make things worse ? because I can't stop thinking about her and I am obsessing with thoughts about all the things I could have said to her and where I went wrong but at the same time I need to find a way to chill, relax with this problem so will Cannabis help or will it just make me think even more about her ?
 
We can't in good conscience tell you that it'll help you cope with a stressful situation in your life.

Don't use drugs, even weed, as a coping mechanism. That's a shadowy path I'm confident you don't want any part of.
 
Well you gotta open your eyes man, i understand what you feeling in this exact moment. But you gotta keep your head up and stop tryin to cover your emotions with herb. Agarate morro porque toda via ni llegue a la mitad de la gran verga que tries ayi controllando tu mente. My grandpa told me this once when i was in the same situation as you, and he just told me a couple hours ago to. that saying translatess to .. hold on tight kid cuz this isnt even half of the giant dick thats controlling your mind. So basicly im trying to tell you that you just gotta tough it out, because the biggest of you wories hasnt come yet and the pain never goes away but the pain is what makes you stronger
 
don't smoke weed to deal with emotional problems. you need to go through this on your own, and you will learn from it.
 
smoking pot may temporarily make your problems fade away, but once the high is gone then u have an even worst depression,
if you constantly smoke weed to escape problems, then later on in life your gona suffer from many emotional problems cause your mind nd body havent learnt.
good luck approach things 1 at a time as they come up.
 
Just be careful with it. I personally believe marijuana use can keep you complacent with things and you don't deal with things. If you don't deal with the hard things you can never become a emotionally stable well rounded stable person. It is true that the hardships make us who we are. Think of your "typical stoner", does he sometimes act the age he was when he first started smoking? Has he progressed much emotionally past that age. The answer is usually no, cause that is what marijuana does to some people.
 
Thanks for the advice, I realise its not good to use drugs to deal with emotional problems but I am devistated at the moment, Im not sleeping well and Ive lost my apetite but despite this Ive only smoked once since I got dumped and it made me overthink and overanalyse the situation and made me feel worse but I wasnt sure if It would make me feel better if I tried it a few more times, thats all I wanted to know.
 
In my past experiences no drugs help cept maybe valium to keep yer mind off things ,but the only true healer is time.
just gotta wait it out even though its a real bitch to do.
Next thing ya know its 2 years later and you dont even think of the chick anymore.....
 
great advice, thanks. I think I will see my doctor and ask if I can temporarily use Valium until I get my life back on track.
 
For me cannabis makes me emotionally numb. Everything just doesn't bother me as much .

So when my gf broke up with me a few months back , I pretty much went on a cannabis binge where I was stoned pretty much 24/7 for the following weeks.

Cannabis just basically took all my sad/heart break emotions away .
However I did become a zombie haha.
Not sure which is better tbh
 
Yeah great advice above.

If you're a fan of cannabis and you have the space and resources look into growing your own. Even if its a small cabinet grow or pc grow box, growing your own cannabis is extremely rewarding.

In the past I've found it to be a great past time. Nothing like seeing a seed go from sprout to handfuls of headies. Plus it'll kill at least 3-4 months before you harvest. Ya know like time for growth as a person and growth of some headies. Lol
 
Controversially, I admit I have found drugs to be helpful to deal with traumatising emotional events, as long as they are one off sort of things. It can easily be a slippery slope though i.e. you take weed to deal with this issue, then another and so on until one day you find you're using it to deal with something as simple as getting up in the morning. So do as I say and don't bother, not as I do :)

Psychologically your mind needs to learn to deal with these situations. If you constantly resort to taking drugs to block out the pain then you'll start relying on it as a crutch by default. This is the classic reason most people become dependent on drugs psychologically. Psychological addiction to drugs can be just as debilitating and hard to be rid of as a physical dependency, trust me.
 
try some mushrooms or lsd. be prepared to face your deamons though..

That said, i went through a tough breakup. same symptoms as you. in the end the best cure was sleeping with her friends - all of them.
 
^ I think that's a terrible idea. Taking psychedelics like mushrooms is a sure way to have a bad trip and would quite likely make things worse. 'Facing your demons' isn't always a good thing you know, even if you're 'prepared'.
 
without reading what other people said...


yes it will, but don't make it a habit. however i find weed is good because it calms you down and you're not so high like heroin where you won't feel anything. hitting a bowl really calmed me and helped me move on when shit was troubling me

^ QTF all that will help you is time and good company.
 
heh.. I guess cannabis is my crutch then. I've been using it constantly 24/7 almost a year now, though I've been smoking for 3 or 4 years before that. But life took a real bad downturn last year and since then I've gotten by by being high and facing the world and doing the things that need to be done and then some. That's on the practical side of things. As for the emotional side.. I'm genuinely scared of a time coming when I don't have any cannabis with me because the few times I've gone without even a day or two have been a mental hell.

Like literally, I'd get crushed with all these feelings and sad thoughts and regrets and all the really important people in my life that I've just drifted away from because of my own complacence and how I don't crave the emotional needs that I used to, except when I've been sober a long time that is. And being sober is hell. Overwhelming, suicidal depression. Can't avoid the thoughts of all the people. The things I let go. All the shit that I've just swept under the rug in my mind. Even writing this is making me feel anxious, I've become so adept at avoiding thinking about things that bother me. I'm gonna go smoke up :(

I'm not sure if cannabis will help you.

However I'd be quick to recommend psychedelics. Take some mushies or 'cid and explore your feelings and loss.
