Weed and suicidality

[rs929]

I'm curious what are your experiences on weed when depressed.
Does it help you or make you worse? Does it affect suicidal thoughts?

I thought they were helping me, but now I don't know. I take different drugs and I'm not sure if any of them increase my suicidal ideation apart from pregabalin.
but most of the time it helps me

It just made me overanalyze everything even more and be more depressed afterwards

 

[NearlyIrrelevantCake]

It lets me just veg out and forget I'm existing. Days pass by in a blur and I have no time or energy to focus on how much shit sucks.

 

[Mooncry]

It makes me agonizingly self-conscious to the point where I'm literally balled up and having a breakdown over being perceived. I'm already extremely self-conscious sober, weed just amplifies it x100. Worst feeling in the world and I'll never touch it again.

Weed weirdly makes me want to live. Lmao (talking indica here, which has been the strand of late)

As much as I wish for and logic myself into ctb when I'm sober, on weed I just appreciate the extent of how horrific and sad it is that someone would take themselves out. I also get hopeful about wanting to live, I also get more chill about whatever's wrong in my life. (Maybe I should've smoked during my mental breakdown last year, chilling myself out would've spared me lots of shit that's contributing to my current suicidality.)

sometimes it helps but rn im high asf and more suicidal than usual so yea i guess im a lost cause

 

[Depressed&Stressed]

For a LONG time weed made the suicidal ideation go completely away for me. Now my weed tolerance is insane and no matter how much I smoke it doesn't help the way it once did. Can't make myself tolerance break long enough to let it help the way it used to. That said I recommend it to everyone.

At first it helped, but then I found myself getting paranoid afterwards and getting worse.
I can only use it infrequently.

I did it to help at first but it sent me into a downward spiral because I was lazy and couldn't function on a daily basis. I was also addicted to it and would get into sketchy situations because I was high most of the time. It didn't make me paranoid though.
