depression. ever had it?

[surfin4]

Have you tried cbd oil, supposed to be good with depression anxiety and insomnia, been doing a bit of research for a relative and it does have some powerful testimonials......all second hand not something i have tried myself, you can get some without the thc but from reading the most potent seems to be a one to one ratio.

I'm using some CBD, 20:1. Works great for helping me relax and get to sleep.

Couple of puffs and it's even better. Much better than a pill sleep aid.

I'm in Japan. Anything involving cannabis is......highly frowned upon.

 

[surfin4]

Cbd oil is legal in japan,as long as thc is under 3%,do a bit of reading and if you do try it give it a couple of weeks for your body and nervous system to acclimatize to it......i say that because my relative got headaches first week,alot of info out on the net and youtube, and its pretty cheap.......if it helps great if not your down 30 quid.

I'm not going to kill myself. I would never kill myself.

I'm not in a very good place right now. Life is a precious gift and we only get one shot. And I have completely ruined that shot. I have wasted and squandered and shat on the precious gift of life. My entire life has amounted to nothing but a complete and total waste.

It's not something you can ever get over.

I used to think "Wow, if I could do it all over again I'd do it differently" --- so now I do things differently. Plenty of life in front of you. *****k the past. Do things differently now, even if only slightly differently, incrementally.

I'm not going to kill myself. I would never kill myself.

Unless you're dead there's always an opportunity to make a great life. Your so-called wasted life might be the very thing that delivers true satisfaction and value to your future self. And maybe to the lives of others too. Have you tried volunteering? It'd make your life more than just about you. Worth a shot maybe.

One of my best friend's mom died this morning.

In addition to that, I haven't got confirmation yet, but it looks like my friend in Sweden has lost his battle to cancer. We talk on skype almost every day and he hasn't responded in a week.

I feel like there's so much I should have said. I can't believe we're never gonna talk again.

 

[Otomofan]

Confirmed. My friend is dead.

 

[brownboy]

sorry to hear that

Now the Season is upon us.

Went to a friend's big Christmas party last night. Only single person there. Everyone drinking and laughing and having fun, and wives sitting on their husbands' laps looking so happy and perfect.

I left and came home to my cold room filled with dozens of lifeless plastic people looking out at me. Another Christmas alone. I'll never know what it's like to watch my children open presents under the tree. I'll never have children or a wife. Or a tree.

You don't know that. How old are you? My dad didn't get married and have me till his late 40's. And other people have done it later.

Where there's life there's hope. I know its cliche, but its true. But you have got to get into the mindset that these things are possible for you. They are just problems you need to solve. It won't be easy, but almost everyone gets married, even plenty of nerdy figure collectors like us.

As for the tree; that's a problem you could solve right now. Just go out and buy one today.

Nothing is going to come to you bro.

You have to go find it .

Now anxiety and depression are chemical responses to our behavioral and cognitive thinking. In other words, we train our brains to be depressed and reinforce the cycle through exaggerated biofeedback.

The only way out is the force yourself into uncomfortable situations where your interactions can be practiced and desensitized.

BUT before you accept this armchair advice, ask yourself,

What do you really want in life and why?
What makes you most happy when you are alone.
What goals are most obtainable in the short term?

You're referring to neural plasticity xipotec? Basically training your neural pathways to create new links instead of the same old patterns.

Otomofan, don't lose hope. You never know what is round the corner, and if going to parties full of couples doesn't work, try something else. There's no shame in doing everything you can, only in not trying and doing nothing. No offence to those too depressed to even do that, I can relate as I have social anxiety. I find mindfulness helps, there's plenty out there like on YouTube, Russell brand and Ruby wax have a lot to say on the subject and their own struggles. If what you're doing isn't helping, do something else, and good luck!

Otomofan, don't lose hope. You never know what is round the corner, and if going to parties full of couples doesn't work, try something else.

Yup, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

These days too many people believe they are somehow pre programed to be depressed or have anxiety.

While some of us have dispositions to it, its much more a learned and reinforced belief system than a genetic disorder.

But do not let the drug companies hear that.

Good advice, all around.

That should also be done as you age when your friend pool thins out for a number of reasons.

I'm not a big fan of Christmas. Nothing against it although the commercialism is crass, of course. But I sort of outgrew it. I don't know who said we must be doing this or that on Christmas, but my favourite thing is to read a book and ignore it. That's just me and my preference, but in a broader sense I just wonder about all the cultural programming we're subject to.

I've been single, dating, not-dating, co-habiting (mutliple times) and almost got married once. That line about 'looking so happy and perfect' jumped out at me.

Nothing ever is. Whatever situation we're in, we trade one set of problems for another. I'm not trying to be nihilistic, quite the opposite -- there is joy to be found in almost every situation (within reason) and surely you know that whatever things look like from outside aren't indicative of the day-to-day...my last relationship looked great from the outside and sure, at one time it was. Blew everyone's minds when the 'power couple' broke up.

There's no place you arrive and stay at, you just live your life and deal with change.

Despair lies in comparisons. As someone said, look inside yourself and don't worry about what everyone else is or isn't doing.

People get married late in life, some don't get married at all...there was one relationship where I thought we would have kids. Some years later I'm sure glad we didn't.

We don't know how things look from the inside, and we never know how things will end up, so given those twin mysteries, other peoples' lives or what I "should" be doing are irrelevant to me; I try to focus on things that I know will fulfill me and again as someone else said, I intentionally step outside of my comfort zone from time to time so I can get exposure to things I normally wouldn't, and these days ... I'm careful what I wish for.
