Life really is amazing. And atm I'm happy but I'm not afraid to be sad when I need to
I am glad twighead is happy
I'm not wrong though. 20 -30 years from now you'll have had happy and sad times. So cherish the good while its here and when it gets bad remember how good things can get.

Sadly for me I'm not happy as of now.. Trying to come out of this mind funk I've been in for about a year and a half now and slowly seeing changes and finally kicked weed to help fasten the process.

Sure, but I don't think it'll get any worse, I just have learned how to deal with shit.
I've lost more friends in the last two years than people my parents have personally known in the last 15. An absurd amount of overdoses, family members dying, etc. I've faced my own mortality several times already, and that of those I am the closest to. It is all in the outlook my friend It is only selfish of me to live in pain on the behalf of the loss of a loved one. They wouldn't want that.

Im depressed. Too proud to admit it to anyone, and I never let it show, although it bubbles up in other corrosive ways. Barring some sort of calamity however its temporary. Hopefully.

I'm sorry about your family/friends but so have I , lots of suicides.Thats neither here nor there ,what is relevant is no matter where are or who you are .You gotta except that there will be happy and sad times in life. If you expect nothing but happy days the rest of your life you're kidding yourself. It is about perspective, failing and being sad isn't a bad thing unless you except it as permanent. You also can't just not deal with the bad parts of life.

What's your poison?
Have you tried abstaining from everything, eating better and getting fit?
Whip the body into shape and the mind might have no choice but to follow.

Things are sad for me sure, it just doesn't last very long I generally am able to see the light in anything, whether it's one of my best friends committing suicide or being homeless and starving... I've been through it, and the ultimate reality of the situations does not reflect the pain. Some of my friends find my unrepentant optimism to be one of my worst traits But it keeps me going, motivated, and driven always.

Marijuana, alcohol, cigarettes. It helps with depression but does nothing for my bouts of anxiety. Which is generally what triggers the sadness. I think I have some undiagnosed subset of manic depression. My moods are unstable. Its crippling sometimes. Infuriating more often than not. I should probably just admit it at this point and start looking into medication. Its already cost me a couple jobs.

funny, i smoked and drank tonight. just woke up 30 minutes to bouts of panic and horrible anxiety. I just ate 600mg L-theanine and drank some water and things are smoothing out real nice. drinking doesn't help anxiety really, neither does weed.
My depression, anxiety, and paranoid/suspicious behavior have cost me jobs as well, especially my last one. I got so stressed out things started unraveling in my mind, weird things started happening at work, and i thought i was being put under surveilance. I'm still not fully convinced I wasn't given the circumstances and the nature of the events. I had what looked and acted to me like PI's that would watch me from this bush line out back, it was sketchy as fuck, but they were real people. They would always drive tinted cars, and if i stared at them they would leave and come back. I really don't want to say how this cost me my last job... but it did, because i let it get to me
It came after i put in an application to a place that got the OK to grow medical weed in FL, even stating to them I'd taken time to learn cannabis horticulture and this and that. It started getting really bad though when I thought certain planes were surveillance craft - i started turning off my phone when the ones that fly super low circling specific areas started showing up. I still do that sometimes though in the mornings... there are aircraft that fly retardedly low over the house, sometimes you can hear the craft just kind of go back and forth over an area, the police helicopters really bug me out with that.
my worry about that is transient tho
So yeah, i know how it feels to have unstable moods and irritability as a result from depression and other things.

Yeah you're right, the weeds aggravating it more then anything. I should stop, I rationalize it because it kills time. The worst part is even though its transient you're still judged harshly for it. People have zero compassion when it comes to anxiety/paranoia or depression. Like none.

Instead of looking into medication, why don't you first try toning down what you already intake, rather than taking pills to make your current intake of substances more doable?
Ya, there's a reason people drink, smoke and get stoned.
Did it myself long enough and still do sometimes.
However, there's also a reason people give up. Alcohol is known to cause depression, and worsen symptoms of depression that are already bubbling below the surface.
Being addicted to smoking has your mind in a constant state of craving, fixing, relaxation and withdrawal umpteen times a day, assuming you smoke regularly.
Weed has its ups for sure but it also has its downs and it's not for everyone. It's easy to just get comfy in whatever situation you find yourself in once you're stoned.
I've been where you are but a fresh/clear head that isn't stuck on a hijacked reward loop is a key to going forward.
The mind simply operates on a different level.
Hope that didn't sound high-nosed because it's not meant to be.
Alcohol especially causes a lot more problems than liver damage and car crashes.
Tobacco also increases risks of depression.

Naw its not high nosed. Solid advice is what it is. I've actually been planning on going full shaolin monk mode for the last few days. I think Ill put it into action today. I've just been dreading the nicotine withdrawals. Throw a bunch of fruit and leafy greens into my diet, switch to pure water. Meditate, run. It never fails

I'm not happy. Wtf is happy anyway? lol I try to be content, enjoy nature and the things that interest me. I can't buy into the bullshit in life that most people seem to be happy enough with, and I am cursed with trying to see things how they really are. More of a curse to people around me than myself though really as I want to see things for what they are.
Sure I have moments of happiness here and there. I prefer to stay off of the rollercoaster though and stay on a level (contentment).
