Hydro Maniac...what makes you think that indica is better for depression? I;ve always thought sativa was as it is more up high and giggly and ALWAYS helps me when i'm down, where sometimes indica doesn't. Darn I need more grow space!!!
Thank you everyone for caring and your lovely comments, its good to see people do care, I only wish I could have read these when I was down. The depression lifted a couple of days ago, but even now I feel myself slip into bad thoughts, usually past problems, but the good thing is that i can feel myself thinking 'no...don't let it get a hold...think of happy things...the puppy..etc'
Some of you really opened your hearts here, and its been great reading through what everyone has to say on this subject.
Lastritez, I always wanted to ride a bike, my dad and my brother do and a few of my friends also. My boyfriend loves Harley's! I have never ridden one, but I have been on a snow mobile and LOVED that! I don't even drive (it scares me lol) but I do have my bicycle to get me around and keep me fit.

"never want to think those thoughts i did that day
almost took my future, and threw it all away.
odds seemed stacked against me, had no way to cope
couldn't find a reason, i'd run right out of hope.
it's just a devils game, playing with your brain
you're not the only one who's felt this kind of pain.
step back, unplug the cord, take the noose off of your neck,
think twice, don't be a fool and do something you'd regret.
the happiness i've felt since then, the beauty i have seen.
wouldn't have got to feel any of these things"
Kaotik...those lyrics are just simply amazing! Thank you ever so much for sharing those with us.

yes, finding a hobby is great. but also sunlight helps emmensly for depression. St. Johns Wart works well too.
Smoke less indica and more sativa too
On friday I made myself get up at 7am when the boyfriend left for work so I could have more sunlight...was a beautiful day.. still dark until 8 though!
I was actually on St Johns Wart for about 2 years and it really did help for the first year then I think my body just became immune or something because I got really bad and thats when I (finally) went to the doctor. That was over 3 years ago now, and I've been on varying doses of citalopram since.
nikimadritista I LOVE spain! only been once, but I loved it so much, and yes I agree I think the reason a lot of english people seem to be depressed more is because of our skanky horrible weather! I know I would definately suit a different country!
Well I did sign up for benefits and will have to wait until Ive gotten written proof from my doctor, which should be no problem. Went to a family do last night and oh god it was difficult I felt so bad when asked what i;m doing as people assume "job hunting" means doing nothing!
Me and the boyfriend are looking into moving house/flat although he has debts (i don't but then i don't have a penny to my name either!) so we won't be buying for a good few years yet. Although hopefully we'll be able to get that HPS unpacked and get a good sativa or 2 or 3 on the go :hubba:
