dear Sara, thanks for coming back to us and I do remember parts of your previous post, where you said that you wouldn't smoke it again, and now peer pressure has made you do it again, with awful results.
This has had devastating effects on you and if you google what the effects of weed can be, they say it could develop schizophrenia, but how can I say it, not everyone is prone to to get it.
I do understand that your 15 so adolescents are always tempted or encouraged to follow what their so called mates are doing, but it's a trap that females have to be so careful through all the years, because there's always a bad person in the crowd, who wants to take advantage of the situation.
Sara I won't harp on any more, because I don't want you to leave the site.
Can I ask you to click onto 'resources. at the top of this page, where you will see 'Printed Material', it's information that BB will send out to you, it's all free, but it's very informative on all sorts of depression, however I can't remember whether your parents know about anything, so if it's addressed to you they will ask questions, which you may not be prepared to answer at the moment, or perhaps you could tell you need it for school as a unit for next semester, and I realise that school hasn't started yet.
Your doctor seems to be in tune by testing your thyroid, and I see that you want to handle this naturally, but maybe your doctor can give you a very small dose of antidepressants.
I sense fear and apprehension in your post, so please have faith and trust in us, as we want to help you along the way. Geoff.
