i had a thought. why isnt there a thread about mental illness symptoms and mmj. why not share our symptoms. i have shizo and anxiety. when i was having alot of symptoms i smoked up and i felt like they were cool. because i was experiencing and processing the symptoms. i thought i am growing as a person. mj helped me change my perspective about my symptoms. its been a blessing for my recovery.

Great for you to reach out to others and share.. I know that it's hard but you are not alone in this battle. i am a disabled vet and have PTSD from military sexual trauma........MMJ has been a lifesaver for me and the continued support from my fellow weedtrackers keeps me motivated.. especially when I'm feeling alone........

I've got Depression/ anxiety, whatever. I've cracked up a few times. I started smoking MMJ in Feb of '07. I have been symptom free for the first year plus I can remember. I take about 1/5 the amount of benzos I used to. I quit smoking cigarettes. I started going to the gym. So, yeah - cannabis has been just as important to me as my Zoloft, Trazodone, or Xanax, which I'm still taking (less of each than pre-MMJ). But the coolest thing is, if I run out of MMJ, I might be sad, but I won't be going into tremors or convulsions! I just wish Kaiser covered it. $$$$, but worth it.

I have some issues with Distorted Image. What i see in the mirror is not the same person you guys see. I dont feel like i should be breathing on this planet with a face like this lol! i laugh about it cuz i have to if i dont i will depress myself. But I wanna give a big THANK YOU to MMJ. It helps ALOT with my problems When i medicate i dont give a shit about what i look like and who sees me and who makes faces (usually in my own mind). I am able to leave my house and work productively. There are a few episodes from time to time but not like it used to be. When i medicate i kinda feel like im bad ass and i can enjoy life "outdoors" with a smile!

Cannabis has helped me so much with my mental illnesses. I function better. Feel better. I'm more in control of who I am. It helps reverse the negative aspects and make them positive.
