    At times I feel like I worry too much. Generally I find myself focused on one subject and I can become absorbed in negativity. I find myself always second guessing my decisions and worrying about the potentially negative outcome of future choices. MJ doesn't always help, and at times can even cause negative thoughts to occur at a greater rate/ magnitude. When I smoke I feel much better for a few hours but then just seem to fall back into some state of prolonged anxiety/ restlessness. Any ideas for how to conquer these thoughts? I personally think MJ could be utilized in a way to help...maybe I'm just not using it in the right way. I feel like lately I've been much better than I was before.

    As an aside: I feel that I certainly had OCD at one point in my life, and sometimes still fall into that mindset. I am often very paranoid as well, and think that I have some sort of social anxiety.

    Any ideas for how to conquer this? (I really don't think stopping MJ would help...as it offers me a great deal of release- I just usually have a hard time coping with the comedown and the ensuing dose of reality).

    i have the same problem...it sucks!

    i have always tried to take things as they come and, hey, if what you're worrying about goes the wrong way just roll with the punches.
    and i can totally understand if it doesn't work for you, because it doesn't work for me sometimes, but next to medication it's the best thing you can do.

    i've always sort of wondered if something like tai chi or yoga would help me un-harsh my mellow. haha.
    that is the quest for today: find something to calm the worries and anxiety.

    and if you ever wanna talk about this to someone, i'm here. i got your back, brother.
    sometimes talking about something helps...at least that's what my ex-shrink used to tell me. so yeah, i'm here.

    welp, see you later, dear. off to find about tai chi!

    I worry so much...
    Its hard. Ive mellowed out a lot.
    Like a doctors appointment can keep me up all night.
    Positive thought kind of helps...but i understand the freaking out.

    Manifest like mad, then within the chaotic mess, rest yourelf peaceble encentered, and reflect upon the prior ignition within it's residual produces, returning to actual time conscience, completely drained of topical want.
    I used to do that several hundred times a minute stoned. :)
    It was nirvana cabana.
    Peace.
