Cannabis and good grades messing me up?

I've been a regular cannabis user since i was 14 i'm now 18, I've been smoking about 3 spliffs a day everyday. I've been getting good grades since i was in high school so i thought it wasn't a problem and knew i would stop when they started to fall. My gcse results were 5A's and 5B's and after my first year of AS study i got 5 very good A grades chem/bio/maths/law/eng lit. Until a few weeks ago I thought it was great smoking and getting some of the best grades in the school but i've realised that in order to do that i have really shut myself off, i have 4 close friends who i smoke with and we all feel exactly the same we can't talk to other people without just wanting them to go away, i havent had a gf for over a year now and can feel bad depression on its way.

I've realised i dont have a passion for anything, i only really enjoy smoking and TV, socailising is a chore even with my close friends now, I've got absolutly nothing to say even to them! I was going to go to uni next year but now i cant decide what course i want to do and don't feel like i could endure ANY, because i just don't enjoy anything anymore.

I don't think i can get through this without help, im thinking of getting anti-depressants from GP to help me see the brightside of life but will i just get hooked on those too?

I dont even know why im writing this, its just i dont feel like a staright A student i feel like a depressed weed addict whos going to be confined to his negitave world forever.

Sorry for wasting your time............

Sounds like amotivational syndrome. Stop getting high, rather than looking for more drugs to sort you out.

Stop the drugs, they are damaging you now and they will come back to haunt you in years to come!

W.H.O.

It may be more parsimonious to regard the symptoms of impaired motivation as symptoms of chronic cannabis intoxication rather than inventing a new psychiatric syndrome.

I.e. stop getting stoned, you're not depressed, just chronically intoxicated.

I wonder if this thread will stay, the Mods seem to be like nannys here.

Buddy, grades aren't everything. Actually they're actually **** all, happiness is what matters.

Quit, but it won't make your problems go away. You're on the verge of depression.

I'm 20, been there done it, if you want real advice PM me.

I've found i can be quite antisocial and withdrawn, but it goes in stages. I've no idea if it's attached to smoking, or just a funk.

Take some time off from smoking. If you're smoking for the sake of getting monged it stops being fun. And, well, that's the whole point of taking them. :wink:

Maybe you need to start cutting down on the amount you smoke? Just to put things in a different light, you've not ****ed everything up bigstyle, don't think you're in any way condemned to a life of failure. Just start doing other stuff than smoking - go chat to your GP as well. It'll take a little while, but if you're determined, you can change it.

Well why don't you cut down on your smoking and see if things improve over time? I used to smoke, but I stopped and now I find that I enjoy things non-stoned just as much as I used to enjoy things stoned.
