i think i have anxiety issues?

allright. i agree i should start thinking of other solutions to this

but to the earth, i'm definitely not making these symptoms up in my head.


another reason why i don't think i need to be medicated for it is because a lot of the time i'm completely relaxed and collected. i'm willing to bet it's just something i'm going to have to work through on my own, or atleast try to first. counseling sounds like a good idea too.

 

I had really bad social anxiety before I came to college and my first year. I was never diagnosed with it. Never tried to be, although I was diagnosed with OCD a couple years earlier. Once I got to college, found some good friends and became more comfortable with WHO and WHAT I AM, much of the anxiety trickled away. I feel like to an observer, the difference might not be that noticable. I'm still quiet, introverted, and reserved. But man, if you could be in my head then and now, the difference would be remarkable.

My honest advice is to give yourself some time to grow before you turn to magical cure alls like prescription drugs.

Suffering builds character

 

Well, the main thing about counseling is you still have to work through it on your own.

People in America don't like to do that, so a lot of counselors are overbearing and sorta "my way or the highway" about it, and while I respect that in many cases they probably need to be -- it's not a very friendly or helpful approach.

The last counselor I talked to told me straight out "you're going to have to quit the marijuana" and I was like "fuck you!" =P And that's probably a part of why I haven't gone looking for one since.
I would be fine with a counselor that didn't want me to smoke weed, but I want a counselor to treat me like a human - and to talk to me.

It's sorta like a personal trainer. Some people just want a personal trainer that pushes them and pushes them to the limit -- putting it all in the trainer's hands. But others want one who are more balanced, helping the individual to train themselves.

 

i get anxiety, but only when i'm high. 'course i'm always high though... hurr durr

 

taking prescription meds wont make anything better trust me. I went to the doctor in grade 10 about anxiety. he went from anxiety to giving me medication for bipolar and skitzophrenia. needles to say I havnt been back since.then again my anxiety has settled down alot. You kind of remind me of a friend of mine tho everytime he gets depressed he thinks about killing himself. Just dont do what he did the doctor prescribed him xanax and he abused them. Then he gave him Paxel. and he thought he could get high off those too n spent 2 days puking and shaking.

 

My dad was just subscribed paxel. Found the bottle
That's it though.

 

i used to be extremly anxious then i started smoking weed, my advice to you is smoke more nugget

 

All problems I had when I was smoking weed 24-7. That subsided quite a bit after I stopped. But Pots good for you so nevermind.
