anxiety

do some of you ever just get anxiety so bad that you have to pinch youself to make sure you are still alive ? maybe its just me...

 

Yea, thats when I start hitting it straight from the bottle

 

Yeah, once in an odd while. Mainly I have social anxiety, but I really prefer the company of myself to others anyway. Really.

 

Talk to a doctor. you may have GAD. (sounds like it)

They'll give you some pills. Probably klonopin.

... It's pretty delcicious.

 

what is GAD?

 

could have lots of stuff... do you write poetry? if you do, you might be bi-polar

 

i get anxiety a lot when i'm on the car with other people driving. i thought about going to the doctors about it but i dont want to get hooked on xanax or whatever they give me. (again)

 

people who write poetry are bi-polar?

 

General Anxiety Disorder.

There are also more acute panic attacks, to which xanax is more common.

 

The symptoms he described are nothing like bipolar disorder.

 

oh okay i see.. yeah its possible.. i get a some panic attacks somtimes.. about half of the time right before i go to bed because i get scared ill have another sleep paralysis episode again.. i hate those.. and iv never taken xanax before.. is that stuff any good?

 

it works really well, but it is very addicting.

 

i dont care if its addicting.. as long as it works.. addiction is all in the mind.. iv learned to control any addiction

 

If their acute, it's probably more likely panic disorder. Xanax certainly does the trick. It's a fast acting benzodiazepine, so it's much better for panic attacks since it has such a short half life.

Benzos like Klonopin or Ativan are more common for general anxiety disorder, where you often feel to anxious to socialize normalise.

All benzo's act on GABA receptors. the same class of receptors alcohol acts on. Benzo's are pretty fun too.

 

i have no social anxiety at all.. i have like a feel weird anxiety. its hard to explain. like im dieing or somthing i guess you could say

 

okay not that extreme.. but.. i dont know..

 

Sounds like a panic attack.

I reccomend talking to a doctor.

 

yeah i would say its more of a panic attack than anything. and some anxiety... i am really thinking of getting prescribed to xanax. so does it make you fell really good? or whats it like.

 

Do you smoke pot?

 

i did 3 years ago.. but not anymore for certain reasons( job) iv had alot of really high pay jobs the last few years and they drugtest very often so i had to stay off tha ganja
