Cryptocurrencies have helped me quit chronic use of weed and overcome depression

Hi everyone! I will try to be as short as possible, considering that you have smarter jobs such as getting them moons right and you dont want to read 2 miles of text.

I’ve always been a good guy, a great student with a state scholarship, an athlete and friendly person.

Everything changed a couple of years ago when I realized I was depressed. It probably took me a year to understand that I am seriously fighting depression.

The reasons for that were many. My best friends left our country in search of a better job, which had a strong impact on me, and thus depression made me break off my long-term relationship with the best girl I have ever had.

I felt like I was left alone, I was very lonely. I had no one to hang out with and doing tasks in circle became my life. Go to work, come home, go to bed. Eh, I tried a couple of times to go to a psychologist but it was too expensive and I felt like it wasn’t helping me.

To kill boredom I decided to buy a little bit of weed. That “little bit” turned into “everyday” in a couple of weeks and I find myself in a situation where I spend $200 a month on weed in a country where the average salary is $500.

I was not interested in anything except smoking weed, I had no hobbies, I stopped training, I didn't go out anywhere, and when I had to go out I would always look to take a joint with me. I got fat which is weird for me, I stopped caring about how I look what do I wear etc. TLDR: tragedy, life has gone in a bad direction.

Then one day I see a colleague from work looking at charts and I know it has something to do with bitcoin, I heard about it. A colleague explained everything to me, he was looking at the price of a coin. I download Binance as soon as I come home, searched everything I could on google and the next thing I know is that the hours have turned into minutes. All my concentration was focused on reading, researching and choosing the right coin. I put in $400 and the next thing I know is I see $500 in my portfolio after a month. $100 earning. It felt good.

I realize that I spend too much money on weed, on stupid stuff, and if I quit that, then I could invest more money in crypto. I replaced marijuana with daily training, and I invest the money I gave for it before for years. And then I found this subreddit. I must have read the posts for a year before I wrote anything here.

Not a day goes by now without me coming here to read and comment on something. I don’t know about you, I keep my coins and don’t worry myself too much when the price dips, I have a lot of fun and enjoy what I do, that I’m active on this sub. I loved how I changed my life again and the reason for that was gettin caught in the crypto world. Its so fun commenting on your posts, and discussing different topics. Its fun checking prices hoping for the best. My free time is now occupied and I am enjoying every bit of it. And of course I’d love to make some money too. Thanks for reading!
