I feel so tired!!!! >_<


Question Posted Wednesday February 3 2010, 5:29 am

i feel so tired all the time at the moment, it started just after i smoked this weed (iv stopped it now because of this kus this is anoying me) the day after i had the mongged out feeling then the next day i had it still then the day after it went a bit but now im left with this out of reality kind of feeling. i found this answer

[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

but i dont know, the part in the answer that says "the simple stresses and strains of life in the 21st century!" could be it, i recently started seeing some one who im beggining to think i have nothing in common with so am startin to wonder if/when/how to break it off but this started before i met her. iv been out drinkin 3 times this week and i dont drink at all, the first time i got drunk as i did th second time but the 3rd time i drunk loads and didnt feel much at all. so iv stopped drinking for now to try and get my head straight. my brother has diabetes and feels tired as a result of low blood sugar and all. But he has Downsyndrome and it brings a whole host of possible medical problems so im wondering if i have it too maybe.

has any one else felt this way? just constantly groggy and not quite all there? i excercise like nuts (skating and snowboarding mostly everyday unlss it rains) i eat fine an all its just getting to me now that i cant seem to come back to how i was a week and a bit ago. its pissing me off now.

another thing is that i work early morning's i get up at 5am and walk around a shop for close to 7+ hours which is tiring enough but i normally dont feel it as bad. but iv also just started doing it for about 3 to 5 days a week which is a big jump from just the weekends i used to do.

please help

some people, the day after smoking weed, feel something close to a handover my friends and i call a "weedover". usually after we were high the day before, we feel very tired and groggy and lazy the next day as a result of having something lazy in our system.

this could be it, or it could be stress from this chick. or maybe you aren't getting enough iron. go to your doctor and have your blood tested. my friend was feeling the same way and we found out that he was dehydrated as hell and it almost caused a serious risk to his kidney. so get checked out immediately.

I would have probably said, "Stress can do amazingly bad things to your body!" but you specifically state that the extreme tiredness came after smoking weed.

Weed is found to do some nasty things to your body. New research is finding that weed may even alter the DNA structure within the reproductive organs of females. It's been found to alter brain chemistry and lead to depressed state. Long-term usage can leave some frightening problems as well.

New studies are being done on various things we once thought to be fairly safe to some extent. They are finding new things about tobacco use even that is downright frightening--and for YEARS we promoted such things! Just because somebody says, "Weed never killed anybody!" doesn't make it true. Please, keep that in mind. It is a serious thing. It has killed people. There are things we still don't know about it and things we're just finding out about it.

Side effects of weed intake includes exhaustion. Side effects of alcohol includes exhaustion. I'm not sure why you decided to turn to alcohol while already being run-down feeling but it was a very poor decision. Please take note of that.

Smoking weed decreases many things in your body, including your vital supply of blood oxygen and your vitamins and nutrients. It can take months to increase your blood oxygen level back to normal, especially if you had long-term usage of the drug before discontinuing. Some older people never regain that sort of health again.

Alcohol also screws with your blood oxygen level. Adding alcohol to an already oxygen-deprived body is serious damage.

Just for future information, if you drink alcohol to the point in which you are considered to be "drunk" then you've had way too much alcohol. Drinking in moderation means never actually being drunken as well as only having a certain amount of alcohol at the maximum (this depends on a few factors such as gender). When you reach the "drunken" state then you're certain to have done damage to the body. It isn't good for anyone.

It's highly doubtful that you have down syndrome. Down syndrom is not something you catch or develop over time. A person is born with down syndrome. When parents find out that a child of theirs has this illness they, typically, evaluate the other children in the family--looking for key signs and symptoms of the diesease. If you did OK in school and your parents never mentioned you possibly having the disorder then I wouldn't worry about that at all.

If I were you, I would begin to take a vitamin supplement to ensure your body has what it needs to heal from your previous actions. Most people need a vitamin supplement anyway, but especially so if they are under stress or have done harm to their bodies. Your typical food intake is probably lacking a few things anyway, even if you don't know. Head on down to your local pharmacy or large supermarket and look at what they have for sale in the men's multivitamin section. This helps to lessen stress as well.

Begin a serious exercise routine to get your blood oxygen level back up. Increasing the oxygen in your blood can take some time but regular exercise can really help out. Each morning take a nice jog and then do some light stretching before going to bed at night. This regular routine will help keep your body circulating the blood and increase the intake of oxygen. Skating and snowboarding might not be enough for your body--especially if you are not active in doing these every day or have become accustomed to that sort of routine. When jogging, increase your speed and endurance to keep your muscles growing and active. It's like...lifting a 15lb weight can be good exercise but if you never increase that weight or the length of the lifting then it stops being as beneficial as it once was. This will also decrease stress factors in the body if that is the root of the problem.

Stick to a strict sleeping schedule. An adult needs between 7 and 9 hours of sleep each and every single night. Getting the body in routine helps to keep this sleep in the deepest stages, achieving more rest. Try to get in bed by a certain time every night and set the alarm for the proper amount of sleep. When your alarm goes off, get up! Do not oversleep. Sleeping longer than 9 hours has been proven to leave a person in a "groggy" state. Having the right amount of sleep has been proven to reverse the effects of stress.

Take care of yourself! Sure, you're only young once--but why waste that with drugs and alcohol? Why numb the life you're having? Go out and meet people and enjoy things without drugs or alcohol. Create good memories that will last so you can look back in later years and tell everyone about the fun you had and can actually REMEMBER! You'll live longer and have a much more fulfilling life. If you ever plan to have children then you're even doing them a big favor just by staying healthy! You can have a great life without drugs. You're only 18, why ruin things so early, right?

Lastly, if the above doesn't seem to help you improve within 6 months time (yes, you have to build that stuff back up in your body and remain drug-free to see real results) then see a doctor about the problem and be honest with him/her about when it started. They may be able to run tests and find out something more in-depth, especially if your problem is cancerous (weed and alcohol both increase these odds, just for note) or another defect. I'm sure things will improve in time though so be patient too. If things get severely worse then go to the ER and seek help. Being alive is a good thing :)
