I smoked so much weed it ruined my life for a while, started in June 2010 and quit June 2011, smoked at least a henry everynight for 12 months, f****d me up in the long run, i also started dealing to make money but ended up smoking the majority of it, didnt care about anything in life, social life went to shit etc, i guarantee if you quit your life will get better, i still smoke but only every now and then rather than every day, got my life back on track, left college with a distinction in engineering, got an amazing girlfriend and now im on a new course at a new college and life is going good, its gunna be hard to quit weed, it was hell for me, whenever i was bored id buy weed, but try as hard as you can man, i guarantee it will be worth it, such a good feeling when you've not smoked in a week or two, your body and mind feels so much better and you can actually get a boner haha i only quit because one night i said to my mate "ok ill smoke a couple blunts but this is the last time im ever doing it, im quitting tonight" so we agreed on it, leave my house with about 5 grams, 3 to smoke and 2 to sell and walk right into 3 police cars, get arrested, scared the shit out of me, its not worth it man, keep your life on track, your only 16 Answered By: - 10/25/2011

Weed is a downer so you can't have sex, because it curves your sexual abilities it makes you depressed so, you need to make a change are you living with your parents ? if so, see if you can move away from this bad atmosphere the first step in a change, is to recognize that a change is needed speak to someone at school about getting some counseling take that first step for yourself or your life will not change see the links below peace Source(s): * * http://www.peace.ca/kindergarten.htm http://evelynlim.hubpages.com/hub/List-Of-Positive-Daily-Affirmations Answered By: TheOne - 10/25/2011

First thing you need to do is move. Move away from all these 'friends' and drugs. It will be hard but the drugs are ruining your life. Go stay with family members or something, you need to get away. You sound do depressed and desperate. Get to your doctor, get some help, there are many different anti d's so try different ones. And fine someone to support you. Even if it is just someone on the net or something, just someone to vent out all your issues and that you can talk to about how your feeling. Chin up. Answered By: Bekki Reed - 10/25/2011

First and most obvious, stop with the weed. That is probably where all your problems got started. I know it must be hard, but that's the price you pay for being stupid enough to start in the first place. Secondly, they are not your friends. Try to think of something you might be exited about even just a little bit and start working towards it to keep your mind occupied. Answered By: Liisi - 10/25/2011

Don't bloody end your life because of some shit like that. First of all, stop smoking, stop weed. Even if this means losing all of your friends. They're shit anyway. Get new ones. With all this free time you have from quitting weed, STUDY. I don't care how stupid you feel, GOOD GRADES WILL MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD. I'm glad you have a job, stick at it but if you hate it so much you can apply for another job. Also remember that your employer can't force you to work more than 8 hour shifts, although 15 hour shifts are not illegal. Find out what you want to do, and after college get an apprenticeship in it. Or uni if you can afford it. Don't go looking for someone to make you happy, they will find you. Get your act together and you'll be fine! Answered By: hannah - 10/25/2011

Weed is fun and even though it's not addictive, you do feel down without it. Stop spending so much money on weed, and find other friends, seriously if they're forcing you to do stuff that you're afraid of then they're not friends. If ciggies are doing nothing for you, then cut down or go cold turkey! You'll appreciate it and have a better outlook on life without them. Being negative and depressed doesn't attract girls, you need to become a more optimistic person to have people want to be around you. Do not k***********f, this is just a bad patch thatll get better eventually. But the thing is, you have to want to change. I'm sick of people being depressed about their life and not wanting to do anything and still wallowing in their sadness. I've had depression and one day I just thought 'forget this, I WANT to get better' and now apart from my paranoia and panic attacks, I'm happy as anything, I have a boyfriend, I have confidence and I have a good amount of friends, so just try.

I am a sixteen year old girl and am going through almost exactly the same thing right now. I have insomnia which kinda seems what you have... my hands shake, i like stopped eating, im not doing good in school either(but mostly cause of weed). I couldn't give you advice because im in the same routine and dont know how to change because pills dont anything for me either. But dont end your life, know that some people are going through the same thing. I miss being happy sooo much you dont know but i believe theres a reason for everything and it can only get better from hitting rock bottom cause im there too:( and if you need anyone to talk to seriously dont hesitate i know what its like.

For starters, stop smoking that crap son. I'm 49 and have been around. The guys my age who smoke have heart problems,short term memory problems, can not cope with stress without weed, live on the streets or with whoever or whatever will take them in or they are able to maintain a job(barely) and do what you are doing now. THAT is the best you have to look forward to if you continue on this road. Do something different. Find a United Pentecostal church and visit it a few times, and talk to some of the people and see if any of them are happy, and if they are find out why they are.What have you to lose?

	Why would someone need to seek professional help after leaving an emotionally abusive relationship? I have done some research on emotionally abusive relationships. Everything I have come across describes the need for professional help for the one who was abused. I don't understand this. Professional help has such a negative sound to it and I thought leaving an abuser would be a happy time for the one who is abused. Why is there a need for professional help?

	How do I get a job with Dodgy work history and no experience? Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now. 1 answer - Asked By: Alex Prieto - 10/14/2012

	Why honesty, hard work and dedication have no place at work? Recently I have overlooked for a project at work and I am unable to accept it why?

Still people who take the p***, argue with managers, gossip mongers have been selected for some very responsible positions at work. I seriously can't get my head around it why, why unprofessional people who have no work ethics being selected over me, whereas I have a track record of excellent performance and never shy away from any work my manager ask me to do? I am at my lowest point and not getting hold of my manager to ask the question why not me, why them who can't even bother?

	What to wear to a job interview VS a career fair? So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?! 2 answers - Asked By: Beast - 9/23/2012
