(Anybody who's been addicted to pot would be very helpful) I mainly started having depressive issues when I was 14, but I recall going through depression and thinking about suicide at the age of 10. The depression has been on and off from the age of 14, at lesast 2 bouts a year. Since moving out at 18, I began smoking weed quite heavily due to the 3 other heavy pot users in the house. I've had horrible problems since being out of home, the depressions is still there but also other things, strong anxiety, sleepiness nights where I don't know who I am and I can't comprehend reality etc, and the worst issue of all is the intensity of my emotions. Something tiny will send me quite crazy and ill do something stupid like scratch myself up and drink before work or something else reckless or health damaging. I'm now 21 and still smoking daily. My question is...is it likely the drugs are causing my issues? Am I just a true idiot and feeling sorry for myself? Or is it possible I had a pre-existing condition?
New to psych central, be nice please
