Question by deeprest85: What should I do about my “depression”?
My parents think I have depression but I don’t believe in conventional therapy. I used to think about suicide when I was young and told my parents a couple of times, but whenever I said anything I got the same generic advice that I should go to therapy or what-not. It’s BS— I’m not crazy, I just think my life sucks. I don’t need some shrink analyzing my feelings or asking me questions. Frankly, when people tell me I have so much to live for, that just pisses me off more because I know I don’t. I’m getting tired of everyone giving me reasons not to kill myself. Anyway, I started smoking pot and I’ve noticed that I don’t feel like killing myself anymore. But now everyone that knows I toke gives me the ol’ “Drugs are bad, MMKAY” speech. I’ve tried to explain that pot helps my depression but nobody understands. I haven’t smoked Mary J in a few days but now I feel the depression coming on again. My question is: is it ok to smoke pot if it prevents me from ending my own life?
I have been to therapy before once or twice but it did nothing for me except piss me off more and waste my parent’s money.

Question by Grace: Depression?
I think i may have depression but my dad doesnt really get why i would be depressed and is making me more sad whenever he says something about it. HOw do i get him to be more supporttive?

Best answer:

Answer by Simply ? Amazing
You should get him to take you to the doctor. And while you’re there, tell them how you’re feeling. Most likely they will perscribe something to you, and talk to your dad about it so he knows you really do need help.

Good luck =]

Question by Don M: Is Obama the biggest hypocrite we have ever had in the White House?
He says corporate executives shouldn’t fly around in private jets, then takes Air Force One to Chicago–to celebrate Earth Day! (Carbon footprint, anyone?)

He says we can’t eat as much as we want or keep our thermostats as high as we want in the winter, then serves Japanese kobe beef ($ 100 a pound) at a White House party and keeps his thermostat on the warm side.

He opposes school vouchers, then sends his own kids to the very exclusive Sidwell Friends private school.

He doesn’t want executives to party in Las Vegas, but takes Michelle to New York on a taxpayer funded “date night”.

Can you come up with more examples?
Judge Judy–Obama was not a successful businessman before becoming president. Why can’t lefties ever get their facts straight?
A face can’t be hypocritical, and criticism of Obama is not ,racist.
