I remember as a kid having bursts of depression.
At the time I didn’t know what it was.
I would get this sensation coming over me that would make me feel heavy, tired and very sad. I knew once it hit me that my whole day would be ruined. It started in middle school and then let up a bit when I got older. Now that I am in my 30s it is back with a vengeance. I went to a doctor and that is how I learned that I have depression. I hate when I get stuck in a depressive rut. I don’t want to do anything and I feel just horrible. My doctor was pushing for me to get on medication. The side effects sounded really awful and I hate the thought of relying on pills. I did some research and realized that people with depression can rely on medical weed. I immediately found a new doctor that can prescribe medical cannabis. I figured it wouldn’t hurt to try and I can always rely on pills. I will never go to pills after trying medical weed. Cannabis is so much safer and better for me. It is not addictive or difficult to procure. It is a natural plant rather than an addictive drug like the pills. I vape a cannabis oil now everyday. I am hoping that someday I can reduce the amount and severity of the strain. Apparently depression doesn’t just go away, but rather takes a short vacation every now and then. I can still hope though.
