Well I joined today because I have a doctors appointment in a few days, and I was looking into medical mj. I wanted to explain my story and get advice from anyone willing to give it. So basically the last 2 years of my life I've suffered from anxiety and mass depression. For awhile I would not leave my house, the fear was just overwhelming it stopped me from being with friends or seeing any family. About a year ago my family forced me to be hospitalized and they diagnosed me with depression/anxiety disorder(social phobia, panic disorder and a case of agoraphobia) I was prescribed prosac. I took this for 4 month(give or take) and nothing really changed, I felt suicidal and just all around worthless.
I again told myself I had to go to the doctors to get more help, so I went again and they gave me something called fluoxetine, and that did not work. so now I've basically been living alone in my house only going outside for vital things. I've made it along way without meds and I feel less depressed then say a year ago... but I cant keep going on like this, whenever im outside my heart races in fear, i sweat like crazy, and i obsess about everything around me, mainly what people think of me(social phobia)
This keeps me from friends/family/work, and the sad thing is im only 18. I missed the last year of high school because of this. I missed out on so much, and I just want to move on with my life.
So basically I have a doctors appointment soon to see about medical mj and sleeping pills.the obsession/anxiety keeps me awake at night. and I have called the mental health association, to set up therapy.
And I came here to ask do you think my situation deserves medical mj ? everything i feel might seem trivial to others but it is keeping me from living a fulfilling life.
I'm really anxious/nervous to ask my doctor about the topic, in fear of what he'll say.
