Where has my confidence gone?

StonedParadoX

right ill give you a little background history so you understand
when i was young i was Diagnosed with Add and some Memory problem .. i use to know the name but iv forgotton how ironic ..basically the way IT was explained to ME is
theres these Chemicals that produce thoughts and they dash along to the Brain that accepts them ..but SOMETIMES theres these OTHER chemicals that clean up after the chemical thoughts and the Chemical police eat up the Chemical thoughts and i forget ..Or Something
i also went to a speech therapist for speech i dont know i do know but its hard to explain

Right in School i used to be Confident with talking to anyone and everyone i was a bit shy but i never had a problem talking to anyone
i took up smoking pot and doing "other drugs" and now i worry what people will think of me but then i dont cuz i realise how foolish that is and i hate being in large groups and with girls that i know i have problems talking to them but only sometimes
i dont know what i do to combat this but it works ..

its getting harder and harder for me to remember stuff now
i think i need to stop.

Well cannabis is proven to hinder short term memory. And in some people it can also create paranoia.

My advice? Stop Smoking, it doesnt seem to be mixing well with your ADD.

I think I know where your coming from, but dont feel sorry for yourself... work with what you got and dont be so hard on yourself.

Maybe you should try eating some fish or taking some Omega Fish Oils for the memory loss. I hear they're both meant to be very good because of their oils and what they do for the brain.

If your lack of memory is still serious, I think what your feeling is a slow decline into wreckheadsville and I would seriously just stop smoking hash and get my head back on track.

Ditch the drugs,you say you think you need to stop?then do it.
Peewees right,you could save yourself alot of time and who knows how much mental anguish by taking control of the situation now.
Your body knows the score.If it's telling you to stop then you should really listen to it and act on it,I mean at worst,nothing improves,you can't lose.
It seems from your post that these negative things came up after you started taking drugs and smoking dope.Try not doing that for awhile and see?
Best of luck

Hey what the hell odds what people think of you.
It doesn't matter.Stop thinking about it
Statistically it's very difficult for people not to like you if you are being nice and are being friendly.

so you are on a winner at the start I presume.
Always remember that if you remember nothing else [no pun intended ]

Hash and the "other drugs" can cause paranioa and the person to withdraw from friends etc. If its worrying you, stop the drugs

Hey OP, one of my good mates in college spends pretty much every day whacked out of his head and trust me, after a few years, the effects are starting to become visable. At no stage do i judge for recreational use of drugs but as you feel they are starting to affect you, i'd strongly advise giving them up. This will hopefully have a knock on effect, because armed with the knowledge of how difficult it is to give up something, if you do, you have something to be proud of, ergo, confidence will stem from it

Best of luck OP
