Hello people,
I've been struggling with chronic depression, or dysthymia if you like, for almost ten years, and am sure it began after smoking a joint. I know that's pretty unheard of, but that was my experience. Took a few hits if off this joint and then felt some shift in myself that was just wrong. Like someone turning down the my capacity to feel. Ever since I've been going through the motions of my life but not feeling any joy. Feeling utterly disconnected from everybody. As the years have gone on it's become harder and harder to stay motivated to live a normal life, and now reached the stage where I live at home with my folks, barely go out and feel utterly hopeless. Tried taking Effexor and then Avanza and seeing a shrink a few years back but neither helped. Ended up leaving the country and trying to outrun my despair. Going from country to country, working when neccesary, but moving as much as possible. Until eventually burnt out. Now trying "Lovan" but so far no great effects. Also seeing a Psychologist.Anyway, this is my first time posting, and I seem to have gone on a bit of a rant, the main purpose of this post was to ask if anyone else out there had similar experiences with smoking pot and onset of problems?
