I registered here a few weeks ago when I started getting properly interested in growing as I could never do it before because of where I was living. I posted once here when I got my equipment and didn't post in that thread again until yesterday when I started getting more interested in the site after reading a lot of content and seeing how informative and helpful people are here. So I thought I should introduce myself as I will be sticking around here for a while.
I'm originally from Scotland, but I am now living in Southern California. Before I moved here I lived in London for the last few years while I was at university. After graduating university I decided it was time that I moved over to California, it had always been a life long dream from when I was very young, and it made sense for me as a whole in my situation. I had been working with an IT company while I was in university who agreed to transfer me over when I was ready to move, which made things easier for me. I also had always had dual-citizenship so it wasn't too hard for me to move here with the job already there for me.
I started smoking just after I turned 18 (when I moved to London for university), I originally started as a friend that was staying with me for a few weeks smoked. I joined in and after smoking for a few weeks I had started to notice that it was actually very helpful for a condition I was diagnosed with when I was 16. Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder I spent a lot of time in and out of hospitals through my teenage life and at one point I spent 6 months in a Psychiatric hospital. Most of the medication I was on, SSRI tablet (Sertraline) and sleeping medication (Zopiclone). These had undesirable side effects and I had overdosed on these several times so it was getting harder to have medication I needed prescribed to the point where I had to pick up a days supply of tablets everyday from the hospital.
Well anyway, when I started smoking with my friend for the three weeks he was staying with me, I noticed that I was neglecting to take my medication after about a week as by smoking it was making it a lot easier for me to sleep at night without the use of the sleeping tablet that I had became reliant on for over 9 months. It was also helping regulate my emotions in a way and when I was smoking my mood was always stable and had relatively no major fluctuations between being too High (Happy) or Low (Depressed) I was in a middle ground that helped me think straight and work more effectively which I didn't experience very often even when on my anti-depressant (it helped but wasn't consistent plus had side-effects that I couldn't cope with). It was effectively negating the need for me to take my medication that I was reliant on to stay out of hospital for a few months. This was one of the other reasons I decided to move to California, to be able to live my life normally with higher quality and legal medication. I had been using it constantly in the UK to keep myself stable and stay out of hospital and I haven't been in hospital for over 2 years now after getting out of being in hospital for 6 months.
It's had a major impact on my life and has helped me move forward out of a bad phase of my life to a more happy stable and with good future prospects. As I said earlier I recently got interested in growing and I have now started my first grow of Short Ryder Fem Autos (5 seeds - all in seedling stage (5 days since germination)) I have started a grow journal for it and would appreciate if you could check it out: Over Here
Hope to get to get to know a few people are here and learn a lot in my journey of growing.
