RE: The Mental Illness Thread
May 28, 2015 at 1:19 am
I had a bout of depression that lasted a couple years. I'm fortunate that it isn't something I worry about recurring, and it hasn't in more than 30 years. I remember being shocked to discover that nothing I'd loved to do before becoming depressed had any attraction for me. Social situations were hard and I became withdrawn. The weed I was smoking in the year or so preceding my depression seems to have brought on a manic state which soon faded to depression. I have to say highs have less appeal for me now. It just wouldn't be worth rocking the boat.

So sorry for my friends here who have had to endure that retched condition for so long. Hopefully meds and therapy have at least lessened the effects.
