Why don't I use my brain anymore?

I've really been quite sober for awhile(well what I consider sober I guess lol) but recently, my brain can't think right. I type differently than I used too, I don't think of things to say in conversations because I think 'fuck it' and then I just stop talking. People are really puzzled by that one lol.. I just don't even put the effort to think of extraterrestrial beings anymore, or religion, inner peace, ego death. Nothing has its 'culture' anymore, everything is just one big pile of mush...

Same thing every day.. That kinda thing I guess. How the fuck do I get out. I haven't tripped in months maybe thats what I need..

No bro, weird enough for me to say but tripping is not the cure. I say you go exercise which will help pump blood to your head. Exercise your mind too, things that exercise your mind are reading, learn to play an instrument the right way, play chess, and just think about things from a different perspective. Get a hobby (play an instrument) and maybe you will be a little more happy and be more optimistic. Sounds to me like you have been letting your brain go to gray mash so get that brain up and running again. Good luck bro peace.

I say go on a trip, go spend the afternoon walking through a forest(or some place you can get away to). Force your mind to think, get all introspective. Figure it out. I work alone like 8-10 hours a day, walking around working all day. My mind wonders like crazy, I've had so many epiphanies just thinking about my life and figuring out what I enjoy, what is good for me.

maybe you have morgellon's disease?-

whatever instrument you learn, learn on your own. using the techniques of a teacher will only slow you down because you try to make things work like he taught you, as opposed to how you feel it should be. i learned drums on my own with the help of rock band

Sounds like you're going through a little bout of depression, it's usually the case if you lose interest in most things you enjoyed before. You may need to get out of your own head. Try some new activities, or something you've always wanted to do: learn a new language, sport, even an instrument that others here suggested (though I would get a teacher, or at least books and dvds. If you learn incorrect technique from the beginning, it will limit how good you can get and it's very difficult to unlearn later). Whenever I dedicate myself to developing a new skill, I get my motivation back to do other things, too. Good luck...

i hate the word depression ...I like the term Blues ....no one likes to say there depressed but no one has a problem saying they got the blues ....best to take out your hamonica right after you say it pay a couple notes ...

Yeah it sounds like depression to me too. Exercise is proven (or at least statistics show) to help ease depression and make you feel better, so I recommend either swimming, running, or lifting weights. And Tyler is right when you get that little motivation spark you will light up your life again (sounds corny). Oh and bro I'm all for beer, marijuana, shrooms, dmt, and LSD but honestly everyone needs a break from them. You may have crossed the line with drugs and that why you're in this little slump so just lay off of them for at least a month. I had to do that once but at the end of that month I felt new and refreshed, so give that some thought. Whatever you do don't listen to depressing music, watch depressing movies, hang out with depressing people, and overall keep negative thoughts out of your mind. .

you need to get laid

Great advice in this thread. I'll be using most of it myself. high|hgih, I just tried to type out an entire paragraph but deleted it because, i dont know, i just did the internet version of what you described when you said you can't think of things to say in conversations. I'll let the more properly adjusted individuals dole out the real advice. I can tell you this though, following advice like this I've pulled myself out of some pretty bad slumps and was able to rekindle my fire for life.

Your dealer is giving you fucked up weed, do you grow your own? You should try it and I'm sure you won't have the same symptoms. Also take some omega-3, smoke saliva strains, and go read a book. It seems that your laziness is slowing your education down. No offense. I'm just trying to help you. Weed shouldn't give yo those symptoms. I would say just fight off those symptoms for a month or two and just take omega-3 and drink alot of tea (antioxidants). Sorry to hear that though.
