Black people and Mental health.

[Deep_Black_Conscious]

I've been depressed and been having anxiety since I left highschool and I was the class clown in all my years in school so it was crazy to me I blamed it on smoking too much but I was determined to get my mind right so I went to psychologist got prescribed Paxil and I also take counseling classes for my probation ... and honestly I'm better than ever getting more pu$$y and gains than ever

People got to be careful with underage weed smoking. I love weed as much as the next guy but I started in my senior year of college. Our brains don't stop developing all the way up to age 25 and studies have shown weed is great after your brain stops developing or is almost done developing (early 20s). Studies also show, however, that smoking can mess up the developing brain's full potential, slowing the signaling between synapses and causing permanent changes in the brain that can lead to anxiety problems later on in life. I advocate weed smoking and I think it should be legal everywhere but I think people should wait until they're at least 21 or 22 years old. More preferably until their 25 but even I couldn't wait that long. At 21 or 22 your brain is pretty much almost done developing so smoking weed shouldn't be too much of a problem for the developing brain.
(I'm assuming your started smoking in your teens).

However, the validity of studies on weed smoking before 25 is highly disputed and no one really knows for certain what the long term effects of weed are on the developing brain. For example one of the authors contradicted his own study claiming his results where more likely tied to socioeconomic conditions and how weed affects the developing brain long term is inconclusive. Despite all of this, underage drinking is far far more damaging.

I agree you should only smoke when your brain develops or you have life together

I'm so glad somebody made this thread. I have been reading all the comments for the past hour. I suffer from severe anxiety and depression and bipolar. Honestly, one of the best things I ever did was start writing down my thoughts and problems and emotions. One night I wrote out my whole life and I just add to that now.

The way i copped with panic attacks is by accepting them. Whats the one thing that happens during your attack? Absolutely nothing! As long as u remember that, u wont make the attacks worse and they will go away. Another huge factor was diet and exercising. If u drink alcohol, cut it because it can trigger attacks in the long run.

I'm scared to change because I wonder is it toward the better or is it just the schizoaffective side talking, I understand everyone is crazy to a certain extent to make it through life but I don't want to lose myself

It’s going pretty good today, last week was a different story. Realized a lot of my issues are from having a lack of family. I may PM you later if you don’t mind. But how are you, BS?

If you need to speak to anyone, we are here for you. You can definitely PM me whenever you're ready.

I'm doing better than I was months ago. I have days that are better than others, but overall things are looking up. I'm just taking it one day at a time.
