Q: Searching For a Piece of Mind....

Am I depressed?... Or is this just brain damage from drinking alchohol, drug expermentation and being alone without anyone to talk to for abou two years?

I think about my past constantly...Sometimes I'll replay, or reinvent experiences...I put myself down all the time...Other times I believe Im above others and I understand more about life and humanity, because I always ponder and ponder what I wonder...I know I'm pathetic...Ive read a lot, but its not enough!...there is so much to Learn. So much to put together...and so many ignorant people (me included) with their own beliefs and assumptions,
it drives me insane. I would love to know what people think, or it would be best if people said exactly what they thought (imagine that...chaos)...Tell me this why do people play games...Isnt that a waste of time? I have no friends and the friends(well, friend) that do call me...I really dont know why?? I don't go with the so called flow of life...I struggle with trying to think of everything (lol)...My life is ironic!!!

Anyways, I didn't and still do not, feel up to the task of explainning everything, so I wrote that mess on top...I welcome any assumptions, personal stories and advice...something that I can use to help myself and in turn others...Thank you.

Oh, and I started school again, Im doing well...But its so much different then it used to be- I used to be extroverted now Im introverted....I used to be able to writ without much thought...Now in english class I need to really put an effort in...Thanks


^ that is a post that I posted on depression...maybe it will help with whatever.


What I really want to know is how do I get to my potential of brilliance...I need replies for exercises, nutrition ....I need a science that will get me as close to...genius as possible...or just write anything....

Hello AbsentMinded20,

I hear your pain, and I understand you quest for answers, I have been there.

Drug use can damage you brain, will isolate you from you family and friends, will get you depressed and eventually if you don't stop can kill you or at least keep you feeling miserable and confused.

I know it sounds a little harsh but it is the truth and it needs to be said.

Do you think you are addicted to drugs ?

True
I think I get addicted to anything that makes me feel good or different...The easiest substance to get was alchohol, coffee(lots), and cigarettes.

The hardest drugs I experimented with were cocaine and ecstasy...and I did those about three times each, small amounts, and within a 2 year period.
Ive stollen tylenol 3's from my grandma and took those.

I haven't drank or done anything since last year...all I want to do now is stay sober and educate my fragil brain into a strong minded, brilliant phd type...

I want to know everything I can do now in order to repair the damage, get back to normal better then ever....is that too much to ask?
