i'm pretty certain it has become a condition of american culture. those without some sort of anxiety are just so ignorant of their own lives that they can't see it
i use weed to calm me down sometimes - but that creates more problems i'm super against pharmaceutical drugs - i will NOT be prescribed anything to band-aid my problems. (i do use pharms recreationally from time to time) weed only makes me more anxious when i quit, and when i'm smoking i become anxious about other things. for me, my anxiety is best dealt with through action and contemplation, not medication. the anxiety is a result of action or inaction and can be dealt with similarly - i think that is also true with most people, they are just too lazy or afraid to do anything about it on their own.
anti-anxiety meds should be viewed similar to Tylenol and advil in my opinion. use them to deal with symptoms, but it you need them often you should see a doctor and figure out the cause of the symptoms.
in my opinion, tylenol and advil are just as dangerous as anti-anxiety meds.... 'taking them as needed' suggests that they are habit forming. much like laxatives - your body will begin to not function at all without medication it's all a scheme in order for people to pay money in order to take a shit correctly, when really proper diet and exercise is all that's needed. instead of taking that advil, drink water, stop staring at a screen for hours on end - i dunno maybe actually MOVE your body from time to time. as far as the anxiety - that's a little more difficult because it seems that much of it deals with how we live in society - not as simple as eating more leafy greens and whole grains. it requires you to either remove yourself mentally from the daily process as in karmic yoga (i think this COULD be detrimental, due to the fact that today's work is spiritually deadening and often produces NEGATIVE KARMA as a byproduct) or physically removing yourself from culture and society as we know it in our first-world countries. i think that even in a third-world country you will face the same problem only to a higher degree, because the status of living is lower, yet the idea of westernized lifestyle is known and sought.
I had this fat pig of a gf once. she tried to say I had anxiety and was anxious all the time. No, she was just a big fat lazy **** that didnt want to do anything but sit around. Its like being a parked car on the racing track complaining everyone is moving but you. Bitch get the fuck off the track or get run over..
tylenol will ruin your liver I get anxiety...and then when whatever i was anxious about passes I feel like such an idiot for being anxious about something so stupid/
I suppose with some years, the perception of what is important becomes much clearer and that type of thing happens more often, BBAD
the blood flow in my body and the activity in my brain probably looks like a crazy light show right now lol
Anxiety is a bitch, much like depression though its almost entirely situationl. prissbaby i dig the picture in your signature.
