The Hot Pepper

just remember, once you hit rock bottom there is no place to go but up!

I have known about treating ptsd with cannabis for a long time and have seen it work first hand. some day I hope this nation gets over looking at it as a street drug. and realize its value in the treatment of PTSD, Cancer, epilepsy, and others. the fact that so many god fearing people in this nation trust the corp. legal drug companies and the Dr's who have investments in these companies. Scares the shit out of me.WAKE UP AMERICA!

Its refreshing to see someone with there eyes open like MX5

Yeah I didn't mean for this to turn into me letting go etc.. Honestly you have no clue what I have had to let go... I have no problem with Marijuana etc, I actually support it being legal it's just not for me... Moving on...

I just add a new hobby. Keeping myself focused on something productive always seems to help, though not always right off the bat.

sp33d I in no way meant to heckel or tell you to let go of anything. I truly wish you to wake up with energy and be happy.
Respect for you and what you have been thru.

I suspect you are a adrenalin junky from your career. And life can be some what ho hum without that rush. Taking up some kind of extreme sport or hobby should help

That wasn't directed at you hogleg ! It was meant for mx...plus I didn't mean to sound harsh....just rubs me wrong when he said I have PTSD cause I havn't let go, that's might be true but I just hate hearing it, truth hurts sometimes l guess because I have been dealing with this crap for to many years and wish I could just wake up and be free....Thanks though my friend ....I appreciate it hogleg

Great advice elite..thanks my man

PTSD is clinical. Its not something you can just let go. I can agree with mx on some things but not that. It takes counciling treatment and time and a strong will. You WILL make it sir. stay strong!

Yeah I agree with him as well on some points, for sure...
Thanks my friend ...

Anytime... while I'm sure I haven't had the same hardships or lows others have, forging forward with even small things that make me happy have never failed to help. Hobbies can be wonderfully therapeutic if approached properly!

I was in the Marines too. Looks like you went in the year after I got out. I was diagnosed with PTSD, a low level continuous depresssion and Paranoid Personality Disorder(all of which even separately qualify me as disabled). And I hate authority. I never saw any combat but the pychiatrist and I both are sure it traces back to a childhood of abuse starting close to birth. So I was just trying to lend some first hand experience to your situation. hog's advice is good too. And I think one th...

the one thing everyone left out is to eat better because depression and ptsd can lead to some bad eating habits and nutrent deficiencies which just compounds the original problems. Just in case you arent.

Semper Fi mx5inpa...

I think your exactly right elite..

Oh I definitely right, all the thanks to my wife lol.. I eat 90% raw, 100% organic.. Again all the thanks to my granola tree hugging wife lol.. She also owns and operates her RMT business so I get weekly cranio - sacral treatments and massages.. Lucky dude..

I think the fact that this started with you saying you feel lazy and depressed with no drive and ends with the 'great advice' being in essence "go do something" shows that you arent thinking clearly and just accepted the answer which didnt upset any of set beliefs. Probably means you will relapse in a cycle that keeps setting new records for lows.

granola tree hugging wife eh? lmao

"Buzz whats the heart racing and palpitations have to do with?"

Graves disease and hyperthyroidism.... constant fatigue and depression are symptoms of that. But it looks like the question has been answered.
