RE: How Often Are Your Symptoms Caused by Anxiety?
Anxiety is a horrible issue... I am way better since my mind is less overanalitical and I finally got a positive perception about life! :)

Is your mind less overanalytical or are you actively suppressing negative thoughts that will come back to haunt you later on? Not trying to be mean, I just don't agree that a self-imposed positive perception is the way to go. All these drugs you seem to be using can seriously mess up your system, and anxiety will get worse in case you decide to stop (or need to stop for health reasons).
I stopped a while ago and I can tell you I was never reckless with my drug use (Not the defensive kind of junkie here, Lol) but I have personally met people who abuse drugs in a ridiculous way and the overload of substances has pretty much messed up their lives (Including alcoholics and prescription drug abusers). I try to fix my issues from the root and obviously when I said the positive mindset thing I did not mean to live in a bubble expecting that your problems are going to get magically solved, in fact that is way off from true. The concept I meant with a positive mindset is to try to work on things that improve your life such as studying with some motivation instead of complaining about how depressed you are (I talk from personal experience here, that does not help at all...). In fact I do know my name probably got me stigmatized into the "Junkie" stereotype but that could not be far from truth, as I do not even smoke weed anymore or drink alcohol also after quitting cigarettes cold turkey this April. I can thank you for your reply as I am not an aggressive person and I get what you mean, but I simply got bored of drugs and now basically fell in love with someone that got my sistem crazy as stupid as it sounds. Have a great day! By the way your post was actually great and I enjoyed reading through it you just earned a follower.
Thank you. You are right about not complaining and start being more active, trying to improve yourself as much as you can as well as accepting yourself with your flaws. I'm not against trying drugs or new experiences, but one has to be very careful since with prolonged use they can seriously alter your brain chemistry. Keep in mind though, falling in love is also, technically, a drug. Your brain reacts the same way as with drugs and gambling, releasing dopamine, as well as adrenaline and norepinephrine, which give you the feelings of anticipation, pleasure, excitement and infatuation. As with any high, it will at some point drop and by then you need to make sure you don't hook to something new and unhealthy. It's better to "train" your brain t activate the same reward system for healthier activities such as sports, or a hobby. Brain hacks ;) Have a good day!
