Can I smoke weed if I'm mentally ill?
You can smoke weed if you are not mentally ill. Either way, it is not necessarily legal.What i think you are asking is can you get a medical marijana card if you have mental illness. You can if it is set up like that in your state and your doctor prescribes it..I have a nephew that is seriously mentally ill. He has been diagnosed with all sorts of thing fron the age of 3. Bipolar, tourettes, personality disorders, so on and so forth. He is quite and intellegent imdividual. I feel quite bad for him, because he will never have a “normal" life. (Let me state that i also have mental illness as well, so i am not trying to put a bad stigma on him) His severity is so bad that if this was back when they institutionalized people for life, he would be there.Anyway, his parents have always wanted was was medically best for him. He now lives by himself. However, his mom and or dad still go to his house everyday to make sure his meds are in order. He cannot survive without his meds. Somewhere in there thiugh, my nephew started smoking pot (before it was legal for him) once it became legal medically in his state, he was prescribed it. His mom and dad were against it at first. But they saw how much it improved his anxiety and a fee other syptoms. They will actuallly now take him to go get it. But he is prescribed it.
What does mentally unstable mean?
“Mentally unstable” is a term used by the general public, and usually just refers to someone being “unpredictable” in their mood or behaviors.Most in the mental health profession would not refer to anyone in that way because there are more specific, descriptive, and accurate terms.For example: Someone who is Bipolar but rapidly cycling, someone who is actively experiencing psychosis - I’ve heard both of these groups called by their family or others to be “mentally unstable” coming into the ER or an appointment.I don’t like when people are called “mentally unstable,” because at the end of the day, they’re just people who are struggling.It usually is said in a way that reflects poorly on the person coming in and is said in kind of a derogatory way, instead of understanding that it’s simply an illness that may require medical or psychological attention.
What does it feel like to be mentally unstable?
It is awful. Nothing ever makes sense. You fall into a deep pit of depression that spirals out of control. You lose interest in almost everything. You can’t really make decisions on your own because your mind is spinning a mile a minute and most choices are made on a whim without much thought about the consequences which often puts you into reckless situations. Then you feel worse about yourself and then eventually you implode or explode. Imploding results in self harm behaviour and exploding results in lashing out at everyone around you. Then you feel bad, ashamed and guilty. Once in a while, you may have a good day, where you can think and behave properly but by that time, no one wants to be around you because you are a negative person and it is mentally draining for the people that you deal with, especially for family members, who love and worry about you and want to make your life better but don’t know how. Eventually you lose all of your friends and end up alone. Then you go into isolation mode, where I have now been trapped for the last decade or so. Now it is even harder to put yourself out there, because without social interactions, you start to feel like you have nothing in common with anyone. You may start to believe that you aren’t even human anymore. When you see other people, you want so bad to be just like them because they look so perfect and look like they have their shit together. You start studying their behaviours and try to replicate it. It is actually mentally draining because it is like wearing a mask every single day and then once in a while the mask slips and you are faced with you and other people see you and then you break down and it starts all over again.
I laugh a lot, often at lame things. Am I mentally ill?
What triggers your laughter?Do you laugh when you see others laughing? If you do, I want you to know that it’s normal.Do you laugh in serious situations? Do you laugh when you’re being scolded?Your frequent laughing doesn’t seem to be genuine…..it’s unlikely.Ask yourself: Is it a self-depreciating laugh? You possibly aren’t aware how much you exactly laugh.In some cases, it might indicate insecurity or borderline clinical depression. It can often be the result of a childhood where the child is terrified of harsh criticism or punishments, and desperate tries to indicate submission.In other words…..just because you laugh a lot, it doesn’t indicate that you’re a very energetic and happy person. In fact, it might be due to you being the exact opposite of that. Many happy and successful don’t laugh unnecessarily.Or, in another case, you might be spending a lot of time with someone who laughs a lot. And you’re probably just giving in to their influence.Also, if you laugh unnecessarily near others, especially near socially anxious or introverted individuals, it can often put them in a very awkward and nervous position. They might be embarrassed and start wondering whether they did something funny, or might just be forced to laugh along with you.All in all, it might indicate nervousness, some form of emotional trauma or distress.In the worst possible case, you might be suffering from Pseudobulbar Affect.
