    i got blood drawn today as well...TWINS

    id say therapy, fuck zoloft, for reall fuck all that bullshit...and in time maybe if it was all the drug use, then it will subside, and therapy will suffice, and not need to be long term

    im quite confused dude...why the fuck did they need to do an ekg and blood tests to diagnose something like that...i've never heard of such a thing

    So do that for awhile. Use some of the money that you were using for drugs and take lessons and practice.

    You need some time to let your body heal. Maybe you go to the counseling for awhile. Talking to someone never hurt anyone. It sounds like you've been doing a lot of drugs for a long time. I always say drugs should be a theme and be careful if it's too much of a plot.

    I had a good friend hooked on heroin for years. He'd get off of it for a few months and get back on. It got to the point that he had panic attacks and was sure that the Coast Guard was watching out boat (I live on a boat). He'd get woken at 4 AM by a noise-and would freak out that they were spying on us-he'd see them on the shoreline across the river (there was no one there). I finally got him in another program and he was better.

    The mind is great at repairing itself. You need to get off the drugs for awhile (and the liquor). Find some other stuff to do. You may have to not hang out with your friends as much (when drugs are around). You don't need to tell them exactly what's happening-tell them "you really need to take it easy for awhile"-that's all.

    But you really need to take some time.

    Welcome to life man. It's just full of suprises. I had a similar problem with my heart but it was just an anxiety attack. What happens, as it was explained to me, is that the blood in your heart reverses course for a second. It can be quite painful. Like I said I know. Anxiety is nothing to fuck with but a lot of it is compounded by your own worries and concerns. Just chill out man and calm down. When your body pumps adrenaline into your system you get all worked up with no place to go. If you feel stressed then you need something to help you release that stress. Hell, jack off, smoke one, go for a run do something with all of that energy. The worst part is that then you get the low after all that adrealine wears off and you can get depressed. Don't let yourself fall into that trap. I had this Russian Doctor, he looked like that Yakov Smirnof guy from back in the 80's. Anyway he gave me a quick release happy pill. I think it was a xanax or something like that. He said it was like taking a shot of vodka. Just to help calm me down.

    I think you are finding that everyone has problems, it's how we handle them that defines us. As you can see everyone here is concerned but they are not going to judge you. Everyone needs a hand once in a while. You just have to learn to take that hand and well maybe a shot of vodka. However, I agree with some of my fellow stoners. Take a break for a bit. Clean body, clean mind kind of thing. It can't hurt. Then introduce the things you love like weed and booze and intorduce them into your new life.

    CC i get those little heart bumps too, and the PIERCING fucking pain. if i'm standing it can drop me in an instant. i remember the first time it happened i was in 3rd grade out at recess and i just fucking fell down while i was playin soccer outside. i still get em, not as often as i used to. sometimes there's periods where they'll be common, and then i can go a month without it happening.
    I really don't think its anything to worry about cause its been happenin for years and i'm still alive right? so are you right?
    it's all good. take some time off your heavy metal music. i know you don't like other music, but are you really giving it a chance? are you really recognizing the talent and beauty of other music? I promise you, all genre's have good music. listen to some relaxing stuff for a change.

    Hey man I know where you're at right now. Lots of people know. Your doctor wants to label you and give you his or her favorite medication for that "label". Is that as far as you want to go in the self-examination of your life?

    I don't know how lost you are right now, but I was really lost not too long ago. it gets better. lately I have been having more and more insights.

    basically, you just have to understand that you are not your thoughts man. "you" as in the presence you are familiar with, is here for CHANGE and adaptation. You have the power to adapt your thoughts, make them more reasonable, and they will eventually become natural. That is what your ego doesn't want you to know.

    You are falling into the traps of the ego. I don't know the answer to this. I don't think anyone knows, because every life experience is subjective. But don't give up on yourself just yet.

    Try hard to improve every day and you might realize one day that all of your troubles were imagined...although they seemed so REAL at the time!!

    I have also been experimenting with meditation lately and find it is very helpful. When you learn to quiet your mind, you will be able to more easily spot out the inconsistencies in that old spider-web of your brain.

    Change stems from awareness.

    I was just reading this- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/a...skipping-housework-actually-boost-health.html
    According to researchers at Manchester University, music fans are stimulating part of the inner ear known as the sacculus, which responds to the beat in music. This gives the brain pleasure and makes us feel good — during the music and afterwards.
    [When loud music is playing,] the brain is stimulated into releasing feelgood hormones that make us calm, happy and responsive. So to trigger a dose of happy hormones on a Monday morning, you should, in theory, choose Black Sabbath over chamber music.

    *sigh* adolescence...

    if you're happy you shouldn't have to undergo treatments you don't want to. especially in the case of mental disorders, the wishes of the patient should take priority over the doctor's opinion. Except in extreme cases where the patient may put their own life or (especially) the lives of others in danger.

    I used to have major panic attacks until I was about 12 or 13... I don't know how its stopped...they where gunna put me on some meds but it went away. I think the most important thing is to always remember you're not fucked up, cause I don't know a single human bieng without any problems, mental or physical. So I think the best advice I can give yous, since I'm not a doctor and I'm only 15, is keep you're head up.

    whatever you do don't take the meds.

    i'm convinced they fuck shit up at our age. my ex was your age (11th) when he started taking it, and they turned him from a fun, partying, light hearted individual to a psychotic monster who was suddenly obsessed with god and, if he could, would have kept me locked up in his room (at his parent's house.) for the rest of our lives.

    however my mom, who is 45, takes zoloft and it's fantastic with her.

    Because I told the doctor I was having chest pains around my heart area. They need to rule out heart disease and other problems like that.

    Metal relaxes me man lol. And I don't only listen to metal, metal is the least of what I listen to if you compare all the bands on my playlists.


    Don't try to minimize this lol. I can handle the mental stuff the anxiety puts me through.... But the pain... The pain is almost unbearable sometimes. It's seriously like something is poking your heart with a sharp knife

    I'm still undecided as to what I want to do... Going on meds would fucking suck, that's for sure... But going to some anxiety group would be really fucking embarrassing.

    ....I also just thought of something...... Are they gonna see all the drugs in my blood? Or are they just gonna look for problems in it... I know they couldn't tell my parents... I just wanna know if they'll know the things I've been doing.

    I've gotten the "double heart beat" that you talk about sometimes. As well as sharp pains in my heart, which get pretty annoying, but nothing this serious.

    I don't have much to offer, except that I hop you pull through :)

    I'm wondering if some variety of yoga could help. Might wanta investigate. Sometimes it's as simple as a particular position, or breathing exercise.

    I think they can tell your parents. let me know because my dad has been talking about getting some blood work done on me. going on meds/going to an anxiety group isn't going to help that chest pain. I think its something you just have to deal with, because i've never heard of it before and I always thought I was the only one who got it.
    When I get that pain I try to avoid big breaths, because breathing in deep makes it hurt worse, exhaling is nice though.
    just slow your breathing down. close your eyes. relax. the pain eventually melts away.
    If you do figure out a solution to this let me know! I've told my parents about it several times and they just write it off as "growing pains"
    fuckers..

    Apparently it's very common in guys our age. My buddy used to get the sharp pains all the time when he used to be chubby lol.

    I'm not fat though that's why I was concerned. And someone asked if I get enough exercise and the answer to that is no. I'm not overweight by any means, I just don't work out anymore.. I did during the schoolyear because I had gym class, I was always running around and shit but in the summer I'm so lazy and just lounge around. I can't wait till school starts so I can start using the weightroom again.

    That's actually what it is lol.

    The doctor told me it's the walls of your chest getting touched by something (thats the easy way to explain it). It happens to almost every guy our age. That's why cannabissoul gets the pains too.

    And shit, if they see all the drugs I'm gonna be fucked......

    They are only going to see drugs in your blood if they run tests for here-Here in the US I think they would be required to tell your parents. But they probably aren't even testing for that.

    Why don't you give it a few weeks-let your system clean out. Hold off on the meds and the group-see how things go. You've been checked out physically.

    Someone suggested yoga-that would be real good for you. Some nice Bikram Yoga would clean out your system pretty quickly-but I didn't picture you as the yoga type of guy.

    I don't think exercise has shit to do with it. before I started smoking weed all i did was run around, play tag, play hide and seek, ride my bike, etc. I got the excruciating pain then, and now as a lazy fucker i still get it.
    I just noticed i can see my heart beat.

    You don't have to be a "yoga type of guy", whatever that is, to enjoy the benefits of knowing your body in a healthy way. Too much of what's out there emphasizes yoga as some wierd thing that people do when they're "far out". Yoga, forgetting the name, is basically just doing what is good for your body. Breathing isn't "oriental" in nature. It's just part of us.

    The positions, they simply work to loosen up and enable the flow of eletrical and fluid and nerve things going on in a healthy body. Using and practicing the positions/exercises should just be a normal thing, for good health. It's not all about tying yourself in knots, or becoming "eastern". It's organic, meaning, natural.

    Anyway, I think a little knowledge of yoga might help in this case, just to specifically address the things going on in his body and mind. I wouldn't know how to direct him, but someone else might.

    edit: In a "normal" and healthy body, there are currents, flows, energies that transfer signals and fluids from place to place, replenishing and refreshing the elements of our physical being, sending signals here and there, etc.

    through bad habits, poor posture, poor breathing practices, we develop issues with some of these fluids, flows and energies, and things often break down, or don't work to their optimum. Yoga helps re-orient things back to where they should be, to enable the flows to go without impedance. Much of it is like simple stretching exercises, which we all know are good for us. If a particular path for the nerve impulses or some other flow is interrupted through a bottleneck of some sort, things can happen. If we do the exercises that specifically address our particular condition, the normal regulation of our bodily impulses, flows, currents, etc, are brought back to normal. That's the point of the exercises, as well as the breathing.

    But again, it's nothing "foreign", or "Indian" in nature. It's just doing something good for the body and the mind. Nothing unusual.
