Strain for fighting depression

[Nape]

FLO

take one hit and get up and do something.. then once you've accomplished something meaningful you can consider going back to hit it some more.

This is 100% the way to go. 3 Months ago I quit smoking Cigs. It became real clear that my brain had issues with a chemical imbalance. Depression and anxiety off the charts. I have never felt this way in all my life.

Lexapro fixed the depression and smoking my WW was a disaster. Mass Noids mega anxiety. Now I just take one SMALL hit of some LowRyder from a pipe and get busy doing something. A few hours later another ONE hit.

I feel so much better now it is amazing.

I have found that a cross called burmaberry from reeferman made me feel happy. It is burmese crossed with shishkaberry. It is very motivational an puts a smile on my face. I have had phenos of blue berry that made me happy too.

not sure if i should post this..being i do not want to be judged as a psycho..
but what the hell do i have to lose..

i was born with a chemical imbalance.i've been seeing head doctors since i can remember..i am now in my mid 30's.
now as i grow old the feelings of impending doom are getting worse.theres nothing i can do but ignore it...but its always there.that sinking bleak feeling is always known...seems like my only friend at times.
i have taken numerous meds that did help for a while but i felt like i did not know this person i have become because of the meds.and the side affects i could do without.so i would never refill my scrips.
but when i had my grow on it was different...my own pharmacey.it did help me alot.even smoking commercial helped.
last summer i tried to take my life 2 times.i had enough.my life was in shambles.....well very long story.
but for some reason an angel was sent to save me.
i checked myself into a hospital for a month....45 grand it cost me.
my doctor reccomended electro shock therapy..5 sessions.
it was a surreal experience..roll you on a gurny into a room.place the electrodes,stick the i.v in...then i would wake up wondering who i was..where i was.who are all these people...what are these things in my vision...am i dead...alive?
2 days it took to recover.when i did i was scared,i did not know this person i was..it really freaked me out....who am i??thats all i would think..
my dad came and visited me and i did not know who he was...

i only did 4 sessions out of the 5...my doc was pissed he said it wont work if you stop here...i refused..he told me my symptoms would only get worse...he was right.
and now i walk through life ..well thats it,i just walk through life.no ups no downs..sometimes i wished i would of done the 5th session...but im glad i didnt...
cannabis has helped me get through alot of days..be it a crutch or not.and this is why i smoke..because it helps me.

2 months ago i stopped smokin,due to the fact what i was buying had little to no med value.
things are more real.like i said i ignore my feelings but sometimes its hard....but i have started some seeds and im looking foward to having my little pharmacy again.ive collected sativas and indics through SB.so im sure i'll find the proper scrip.
please dont judge me..i do have a stand offish attitude.but thats my nature.i really am a nice guy once you get to know me.
i go to work every day,and work my ass off,pay my bills,taxes and enjoy icmag...
i cant wait for my first harvest..but till then i will continue to walk...

i would never hurt anyone unless they were the ones to hurt me..sometimes people take my kindness for a weakness...
BTW im not one of those postal dudes...no way man...

I suffer from clinical depression and I can add that using a vape helps a ton if you want to get the beneficial out of MJ to help with depression. Like it's been said, I try not to make it a crutch, or an escape from my inner turmoil. Vape a small amount of a sativa then make my ass get up and DO something.

 

[grannyida]

dont use mj as a crutch, although i have done alot of reflectin while im stoned....... but the bestway to get rid of your depression is to sit down and think about what is making you upset reflect.

I suffer clinical depression, PTSD, anxiety attacks, arthritis, etc. Don't want to bore. If it were not for my medicines, both green and phamicalogical, I would not get out of bed.

The original question was for something to take him to the creative place he found in youth. Unfortunately, or should I say fortunately, it sometimes takes a bit of searching to find the right strain. I would agree with those who say sativa.

When pot is your medicine, it ceases to be just recreational. But, I am an old lady who has smoked daily for almost nine years. But, what do I know?

 

[hempknowsis]

Another update from me on this one. As its been said, stick to sativas. I know the "market" is usually flooded with super potent narcotic indicas, but I find these aren't ideal for depression. They seem to give me anxiety, uncomfortableness, and too introspective and sedative.

C99 can be great. The first 15-20 min can be a bit of a rush but after that its great. Very up high that doesn't leave you burnt out when you come down.

Same with Apollo 11, satori, and f13. Sativa dom are my mainstay.

Blueberry is a bit more indica but still one of my favs.

my 3 cents know your'e meds! everybody is different.% of thc to cbd + you.in all my growing trainwreck in some doses,depending on the purity will create extemely trippy,while pure romulan is like have an atomic bomb droped on you. for my self im growing sourbubble and sssdh but what works for me may kill you! just rember if it may taste like candy,and you may wonder what the f*** happen to me but to me its medicne! RIP DR JAY

Many many great answers in here, so many good variety of cannabis to help elevate self worth and mood.

The best fight against depression imo is simply growing, and it does not even have to be cannabis. Growing fruits, vegetables, cannabis or whatever you like will give great satisfaction and is a natural way to fight depression.

To add with that the satisfaction from giving to those who need food or medicine for no cost will warm your heart to no end.

 

[ijimunot]

Anything from Joey Weed with C99 or Apollo 11 in it. Or Wally Duck seeds. Both are affordable. And will make you whistle while you work.

I guess I'm lucky. I'm autistic and have bouts of depression but they go away or don't appear when I'm actively working on a project that I'm passionate about.

I used to think life just sucked.... reaaaaaaaaaaaally bad. Turns out I'm autistic. *shrug* Between figuring that out and learning how far from reality society is (over the last 5 years).... things have smoothed out considerably. LOL A huuuge amount of mental pressure that added to any depression whatsoever... is gone. Understanding can be extremely powerful.

Strains for depression? LOL Princess Diesel, but good luck finding it. Only strain I've ever had that smacked a smile on my face like LSD does... Just can't be unhappy on that strain... lots of energy and thinking power.

You ever realize you're grinning like a fool and have no idea why? LOL Princess Diesel is that strain. Can't wait to make canna-caps from that strain... the last 8 seeds from Pops have 6 surviving seedlings. Coming soon to the residents of mountainous Colorado!

Stay Safe!

Holy necro thread back from the dead!

Give me short details about how can I fight with depression?

1. Find yourself a good strain that puts a smile on your face with enough sativa in it to make you want to get up off your ass. Smoke some.

2. Get up off your ass and go outside (if you care about the weather, go back to step one and keep trying), preferably in the woods. It doesn't mater how you ambulate - whether you walk, run, skip or ride a bike - just make sure you are off your ass and moving.

3. Repeat steps 1-2 daily until you figure out the root causes of your depression. Warning - this may take years. Even if this doesn't happen for you like it did me, the exercise is a proven depression aid. The other benefit of repeating 1-2 is that you condition yourself to get up off your ass when you are high.

4. Depending on those root causes, you may need to make major life changes or work through some issues in therapy.

While I disagree with anyone making light of how to get over depression, I do believe that using cannabis or any chemical antidepressant as a depression treating drug should at a minimum be used as an adjunct to other forms of therapy. If you do not address the depression outside of chemical treatments, you are forced to be tied to taking cannabis every day for the rest of your life, and while I see nothing wrong with cannabis use, it is best if you don't "need" it to cope with life. By therapy I don't necessarily mean a psychiatrist, although if it works for you and is accessible that would do. Anything like yoga, guided meditation, buddhist meditation, running or swimming etc. Diet and exercise play a huge role in depression as well. Consume lots of Omega 3 fatty acids specifically, fatty acids in general allow your body to manufacture cannabinoids. That's not to say your depression will ever be cured but at least it's a starting point to work towards being free of the need to take a chemical or herb to treat your depression, but there's many dietary causes for depression and as many dietary treatments for depression.

Choice of strain is largely dependent on you and the type of depression. If for example you're locked in your house all day, a highly se3dating variety would probably not be good. If it is more of an anxiety/depressive type of depression, manic sativas would again exacerbate the symptoms. I would start with mid and high purity hashish, the purple chitral, burmese, cocoa kush, vanilluna and a burmese x oaxacan cross called meximelia that there's a few cuttings going around.

Punta Rosa from cannabiogen has very good anti-depressant qualities. Not racy, no paranoia, very clean and kind effect during and after. Clear high.

 

[EastFortRock]

Drinking coffee helps for me , although I don't ever get a heavy depression. I don't know , everyone is different , but for me cannabis is great for reducing anger and nightmares , not so good for depression.

 

[Hash Zeppelin]

severe depression is caused by a chemical imbalance caused by something wrong in your life. figure out what that is and fix it. resorting to drugs only masks the symptoms. Pot can help temporarily, but will not fix the chemical imbalance.

to avoid prescription drugs try taking st john's wart. Also melatonin before you go to bed.

then look at the rest of your diet. you are probably lacking nutrition somewhere.

 

[Bi0hazard]

Sour Diesel (ECSD), Og Kush, Apollo 11, Bubba Kush, Super Lemon Haze to name a few.
