i wouldn't say i'm addicted to smoking weed, but i like it and i usually do it to self medicate. and after a few times i honestly can't think of a reason not to?! why is it so bad? it always helps. and its better than cutting

What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma

can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? i can really use a wish right now.

i'm not afraid to take a stand
Everybody come take my hand
We'll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just let you know that, you're not alone
Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road

I'mma be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me I'm tearing down your balcony

desperate&disturbed, cutting and weed can both lead you down a dark road. Weed can cut you off from reality and I know escaping reality is sometimes almost feels needed but reality is what we have to face to get better. The escape from cutting is the same. I know things can often feel overwhelming but maybe you can slowly turn towards reality instead of escaping it. Take small steps so you don't feel so overwhelmed. Just my thoughts....

Hello Desperate,
I think you wouldn't even be posting here, when there isn't a little voice inside you; both smoking weed and cutting are selfdestructive behaviors. It helps...for a while. But you know it's not the solution. Maybe you can read here about people who fought for recovery, and how much it's giving us. (yep, I am one of them).
Best wishes.

Hi desperate ~ Yes, you want to escape reality and Weed helps you do it -- but how long is that going to work for you? How long before you're going to need something "better?"

It's my opinion, and others' too, that weed is just a stepping stone to other, stronger drugs - drugs that ARE addictive. Drugs that WILL take you out of reality, but will also kill you. I certainly don't want to read on here of your death! This is no game we're playing. We're talking about life here.

Sure, life can be difficult at times, but why should YOU have to escape and everyone else has to face it? Do you think EVERYONE should be on weed? NO. We can't have the whole world on weed -- someone has to be responsible. Please get off the weed. You're just looking for trouble and you'll find it soon.

Best of luck. Lee

why not try another approach with therapy so you don't have or feel you need to self medicate or cut?
when the effects of the weed wears off nothing has positively changed in the meantime in your life. you're right back where you were. a vicious cycle can occur.
