Hey guys. I'm mostly a lurker aside from one post I made, but I feel like I need to talk. I have been an all day everyday pot smoker pretty much since I got out of the Marine Corp Reserve in 2014 from a pretty debilitating foot injury; with a few unsuccessful attempts to quit. I haven't smoked since Saturday at this point but I really think the long term overuse has messed with my head. Between that and the current state of the world I'm having a hard time believing that we can win the November and while I don't exactly feel suicidal, I am definitely feeling depressed. I'm irritated and everything and everyone. I hate feeling this way constantly and I don't want to try to bury myself in drink or drugs. I'm not looking for sympathy, my problems are of my own making. I am just looking for some words of encouragement and perhaps your prayers....I suppose you could say I'm slowly and shakily rediscovering my spirituality.

Keep your head up. When I find things in life getting tough or little things are annoying me, I try and get away for a few days. Nothing big or expensive, just a tent and the pup. Find a little water to beat the heat and connect with nature. People are always willing to lend an ear if you need it. Take care.
I think this is exactly what I'll do. I feel bad for feeling bad in front of my old lady. Feel like I'm making her life harder. Mayhaps a couple days alone fishing in the woods nearby will help.
I just got back from a 2 days away trip. Feel amazing. My wife is going on a girls trip to a lake house for the weekend so she can hit the reset button also. We do this every 6 months or so. Little time away from each other is a great reminder of why you want to be together also.
