I've...actually had a decent couple of days. ._. Tiring, but I've felt...content. My mind's been calm, even with all the BS I've had thrown at me (it'll cost $250 to fix my busted hearing aid, my car filled with 6 inches of water after all that rain, my phone charger died right when I needed to charge it so I could discuss how to pay for the HA repairs) and I feel...balanced. It's scary. I do hope it lasts, though...feels nice.

How do you deal with self-loathing feelings?

How do you deal with self-loathing feelings? I personally like to find people even stupider and/or uglier than myself to look down my nose at. Makes me feel a lot better. |

How do you deal with self-loathing feelings? PROZAC! It worked for me. Self loathing, crying a lot, sleeping a lot, or maybe not sleeping but spending a lot of time doing nothing and bored, anxiety and panic attacks. I'm angry that your doctor didn't try Prozac or another SSRI. They're amazingly successful. |

Yeah, speaking of SSRIs, I think the Zoloft is at least helping a little bit. I'm going to go up to 100 mg at the end of this month's supply, maybe things are finally going to be looking a bit better now.

I disagree with this. I don't think you're ugly mentally or physically, and I find the ugliest people to be the ones who are hateful, stubborn, and and downright unpleasant. From what I've seen, you're not one of them, so don't ever think that. |

Well, I felt unbelievably sane yesterday morning--then I realized it, and suddenly I felt like my usual crappy self.  Had that going for several hours, too. |

I feel depressed over the job interview I have tomorrow...mainly I'm afraid they're going to stick me with a bagger position (if I get the job) which means I would end up with very little hours, and hardly any pay...yeah I NEED a job..but something that gives me some hours & therefore some pay...

Having a job makes it a lot easier to get hired for another job. You can even have both at the same time, provided the hours will align so you can work both.

Well it's just that at this point in my life, I thought I would be past the whole "bagging groceries for a living" crap...I'm 28 years old, I have a fucking college degree...and I would be bagging groceries for an undetermined amount of time as a living...I feel somewhat pathetic, and that makes me feel depressed...

Has anyone here thought about smoking pot to deal with their mental condition?
I admit that I have.

The problem with using pot to deal with mental health issues is that it's impossible to predict how someone is going to react to it. For some people, it can actually exacerbate the symptoms, and different strains of the plant (or even the same strain from different growers) can have varying effects -- and given that it's illegal, it's rather difficult to pick and choose which strain you want (just ask all of the stoners who have tried to find Purple Kush, and got freezer-burned basement weed instead). I don't oppose the recreational use of pot anymore than I oppose people drinking alcohol (honestly, I'd rather deal with a pothead neighbour than one who gets drunk every night), and I'm supportive of those who already use it and find that it genuinely helps, but I'd be very hesitant about recommending that someone try it for that purpose, unless they're able to access it through a doctor -- and even then, caution is warranted.
