> Hey Mike, hang in there. There is a lot of stress on you when you are 17. Where do I go to college, do I go to college, what do I want to do for the rest of my life, do I want to get married now or when I am 30!!!???? The list goes on and on!! One of my biggest problems was the fact that I was smoking marijuana daily. It seems fun at the time and all your friends did it, but you need to limit yourself to how much and when you smoke.I didn't know it at the time, but marijuana is a major depressant. It keeps you from accomplishing things. It takes away your motivation and your drive to succeed and to finish tasks or projects. I quit smoking regularly when I was 23 after I had graduated from college and started a new job that drug tested. Only then did I start not being so depressed all the time. I am not saying to quit forever if you don't want to. I still smoke on rare occasion, 2 or 3 times a year. But I truly believe that daily use will not help you in any way at all. You are lucky now that chemical imbalances in the brain is a recognized medical problem that has many cures. Unlike when I was your age 20 years ago. Good luck and try anything you can to get better!
