My boyfriend told me he had a problem with smoking cigarittes, marijuana and drinking alcohol in the past before we got together. He told me when he got with me i had made him to want to quit that.(i know he tried) and he wanted to be a better person for me b/c i never had any dealings with drugs, alcohol or smoking. Just about 10 weeks ago he got busted with some others during school and was sent to a drug center for 7 weeks at the end he barely passed the drug test for marijuana. And on may 8th he broke up with me and he wanted to be just friends b/c he said he didn't want to get me to change in personality b/c of his drug problem. We had been together for 7 1/2 months almost. But now he is so depressed and quick to get angry when i call him now when we used to talk for hours. At school he's just his regular self. But when i call he has an angry tone and say's hes busy and can't talk and one time his mom said she didn't know where he went for most of Sat. I'm just so worried about him and he don't want to go back to the drug center but i don't know if he wants to quit and its worrying me to death b/c im so scared that my ex/first boyfriend is going to get sick and/or possibly die. I saw him on the webcam and he looked like he hadn't slept well, and was sick looking when earlier he was all smiles, happy, and talkative at school during lunch It made me cry the when i saw him like that and he won't talk to me about it. I love him so much and his problems are just making his anxiety disorder worse also. i just can't help but cry at night b/c he's suffering through so much and i don't think his parents are helping eaither, i think they are buying him cigarettes and letting him drink at his house, in fact i know his stepmom buys him cigarettes and she know he smokes marijuana. So if anyone has any help to get him to talk to me or at least some ideas on some ways i could help him think about quiting more seriously b/c seeing him like this and thinking about what could happen is really killing me. Please Help if you can. Jen_Jen

A recent study has found that daily marijuana use can increase the risk of heart disease. The study, published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, analyzed data from over 20 million people and found that those who used marijuana daily had a 47% higher risk of developing heart disease than those who did not use marijuana. The study also found that the risk of heart disease increased with the frequency of marijuana use. Those who used marijuana more than once a day had a 52% higher risk of heart disease, while those who used it less frequently had a 24% higher risk. The researchers noted that the association between marijuana use and heart disease was independent of other risk factors, such as smoking tobacco and obesity. They also suggested that the psychoactive compound in marijuana, THC, may contribute to the increased risk of heart disease by causing inflammation and oxidative stress in the body. The findings of this study add to a growing body of research on the health effects of marijuana use. While many people use marijuana for its perceived health benefits, such as pain relief and anxiety reduction, the risks of long-term use are still not well understood. One of the challenges of studying the health effects of marijuana is that it is still illegal at the federal level in the United States. This makes it difficult for researchers to conduct large-scale studies and obtain funding for research. Despite these challenges, there have been several studies in recent years that have found links between marijuana use and various health risks, including lung disease, mental health problems, and now, heart disease. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) notes that marijuana use can have short-term effects on the cardiovascular system, including an increased heart rate and blood pressure. These effects can be particularly pronounced in those who use marijuana regularly or have underlying heart conditions. However, the long-term effects of marijuana use on the cardiovascular system are still not well understood. The authors of the JAMA Internal Medicine study note that more research is needed to determine the precise mechanisms by which marijuana use may increase the risk of heart disease. In the meantime, it is important for people who use marijuana to be aware of the potential risks and to use it in moderation. This is particularly important for those who have underlying health conditions or who are at higher risk of heart disease. It is also important for policymakers and healthcare providers to be aware of the potential health risks of marijuana use and to take steps to educate the public and regulate its use. This includes providing accurate information on the risks and benefits of marijuana use, as well as implementing policies to ensure that marijuana products are safe and accurately labeled. The findings of the JAMA Internal Medicine study add to the growing body of research on the health effects of marijuana use. While many people use marijuana for its perceived health benefits, it is important to be aware of the potential risks, including an increased risk of heart disease. More research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms by which marijuana use may increase the risk of heart disease, but in the meantime, it is important to use marijuana in moderation and to be aware of the potential risks. -
this is jsut something that really makes me wonder which is worse now our whole lives people hace always said weed is very bad and will kill you and that it has very bad effects to it what ive made of it is that weed isnt as bad as people make it out to be the facts that i believe is that weed is even less dangerous than cigarettes becasuse weed has no nicotine, and its a fact that not ONE Person has died from jsut marijuana use i under stand its bad to be under the infulence of it because of all the dangerous things that may happen but im jsut wondering about how dangerius it is to the body compared to alchohol because alchohl is leagal compared to weed which is not but alcohol 1.kills brain cells( weed does not) 2.is addictive( weed is not) 3. can be overdosed(weed can not) 4. kills people every day( weed never once in history) 5. can lead to violence ( weed does not) thats just a few things off the top of my head i jsut really would like to know which is worse because i believe that peopl have mixed around the facts way too much and jsut want to know for myself o and let me know if i said any facts that are wrong becuase im not 100% sure on everythign i said but very close too it lol...... -

Loves Lost. Loves can grow and some will fade against the curve along the grain I will pull myself from death I will long to be myself I wont be your mattress to lie on, lay on, ignore I wont be your heart cold, tore, and bored I'm not your perfect world I've got flaws like every man But appreciate the human spirit that lies inside us men I wont change for anyone not anymore, for you Appreciate me for who I am or I will forget about you. oh wait, who are you? -------------------- Eternal My love for you is like a spring a flower without a weed it grows and grows so beautiful ever blossoming Eternal is the sunshine that I see over your face the way your eyes they sparkle as I see the clouds fade The sun begins to dry your petals so beautiful they fall but what happens when their all gone your nothing at all, your nothing at all.

My girlfriend and I have been going out for close to 4 months. I used to smoke weed alot in my past and now I've become so against it. I've told her this before. She said she was also. I also smoke cigarettes and she told me she used to, but never will. She only had one occasionally. But just last week she admitted to me that she does smoke cigarettes whenever she can get one, but she didnt want me to know for some odd reason since I also smoke. There have been times I've talked to her and she'd say she feels so extremely happy and start laughing for no reason. Just today, I was talking to her in school and her eyes were so red and dialated and she couldnt stop laughing. I even brought up if she has been doing them and she'd just say, "I'm not." then change the subject. She claims she's done it 3 or 4 times in her life. I know about weed. I used to do it 3 or 4 times a day for a year and then I stopped because it scared me on how I was becoming. I know that when someone smokes weed, its very gradual on how frequent they'll smoke it. I'm worried about her. The signs were there for me, but she denys that she is high and I have no proof. Please! please tell me what I can do! Do you guys think there's a possibility that she's not and if you think she is, how do you think I can get her to admit it? I care for her and I dont want her to become what I became. Please respond with any opinion you have. This is really important to me. Thank you

Deepest of wells, black where the night billows its inky plume I search for the glimmering of something farther away than I can calculate within their shadows Perhaps I will find it beyond looking Perhaps I must blind myself to see the very Core of them Arcs of the moon, chipped and swallowed, drowned in the lowest bottom of this underground sound, Do you hear me? Invisible words blaze white in the waters of your forge A fire someone forgot to tend long ago when they closed their gates and left hinges to rust in overgrown weed Now is it for me to glimpse into those blinking trenches where everything happened and an umber grave was dug? Soft mirrors of me, do you know what I see within? Soft mirrors, music, chambers and windows Stained with unbearable silence You ran dry and filled with groundwater all at once. Flooded while no one was guessing. Is the rain coming? I want to cover you from the sky but you are the sky I won’t be far but I know I am too small for You. Urchin wanderer, shivering, sunken down in the mossy cistern, your crystalline irises bathed in hiding. Will you yield a cupful? With pulleys and ropes and buckets broken as the stones... I drape myself over them over the wall over the jagged edge and lean in Will you let my lips touch your surface? Soft mirrors of me, I cannot see. But in you I taste eternity.

I have been having intercourse with my girl for sometime now and everytime I am unable to reach ejaculation... I apply different types of condoms and also tyr different positions, but never have I came. Is there any treatment other then therapy that can help me with this? Would sex without the condom make it easier for someone to ejaculate? (not thinking about doing it really). Would consuming viagra or the horny goat weed medicines help with this problem? I really need help because it is getting depressing.

A week ago, my 2 year relationship finally ended. We were living together, but she liked to party a lot, and I couldnt handle it. She would get drunk 4 or 5 nights a week, and I mean really drunk. She has also done coke and used to be a heavy weed smoker. She was still very cool when she was not drinking though, which is probably why it worked for so long. I just could not deal with this though, since in the relationship it felt lot a lot of my affection was unreturned. I am still very sad about everything, but I think I know what I need to do to recover. I am starting to work out, and am trying to keep myself busy. I just dated and hung around heavy drinkers for long, that I do not want another one, so I am wondering if there is any place that is good to meet women besides the bar. I do not want to have a relationship or anything, but I think getting out there and flirting and talking to girls will help me get some of my "mojo" back, lol. I am a pretty emotional guy, so I know it will take me a while to get things together in my life. I am only 22, and everyone keeps telling me that I'll find someone else, I just hope they are right. Thanks for reading the whole post if you did, but if not, where can I go to meet girls besides bars/pubs? Thanks for any advice anyone can give

Hello. My Situation I'm right now in a relationship for 2 months. I know it's not that much. I mean we're both 18 years old. Anyway, we used to be friends and then we started liking each other and we decided to go out to see how it'll go. At first we both thought it would be like a Friends With Benefits relationship, but no, we started to like each other more and more every time and now we can call this a serious and official relationship. I'm the kind of girl of mind over heart. I don't like falling in love and getting hurt, and I'm not dumb and stupid in relationships meaning that I do not let a guy do whatever he wants with me. My dignity comes first than anything. I think I've never fall in love because I've never let it happen. Every time I feel I'm liking someone very much, I usually block myself and try not to feel anything more for the person. And this is what happening to me right now with the guy I'm dating. I'm scared, I guess. He's just like me in a guy version, me being much more in defense on falling in love. He usually tells me he's just letting things happen by its own and that he won't block himself and he wants me to do the same. But it's hard for me. Even more if he disappoints me and hurts me. His intentions are not hurting me or disappoint me, I think. He's really honest and he won't lie to me to make me feel better, and I like that, but I guess truth hurts sometimes. The Prob I've never found any problems against those who smoke weed or do drugs. I'm very open-minded about that, until now. I knew my boyfriend smokes weed and does drugs before I went out with him, and I didn't care at all. It's his life and I like him how he is and I'm no one to try to change him. But it's affecting me. He's smoking too much now and I found it not acceptable anymore. In fact, it disappoints me so much, HE disappoints me so much. It's a big let down for me now. And I'm trying so hard to accept him how he is, and accept his habits of smoking weed because I like him, and I want to be comfortable with everything he does, but it's so hard and it hurts, it hurts so much knowing he won't ever change for me, not that I would ever ask him to change for me because I don't want him to change, I mean, I would love for him to stop smoking but I know he won't and I won't ask him to stop. I don't want him to change for me, He won't change for me. He already told me he won't change for me and it hurts. VENTING It hurts because I'm not enough for him to change? I've told him few times this, about the disappointment and how it affects me, and you know? he tells me that if I don't like him for who he is, then I shouldn't be with him and this hurts me because I'm trying so hard to accept him how he is even though it affects me sooo much, and he tells me this and it hurts, IT HURTS SO MUCH. Am I not enough for him? Doesn't he care about my feelings? about how much harm he's making me? About how much he hurts and disappoints me? It hurts! How can I let myself fall in love with him without being scared, if he doesn't even think of me. I'm not saying he has to stop smoking (I wish, though) because I know he won't, but maybe he could talk to me and tell me he'll try his best to lower down or anything, but instead he tells me that if he slows down he won't do it for me, that he'll do it for him. Maybe he's right, but doesn't he think of me and how I feel? If he does it for him, he's doing it for me, too, but that isn't his intention. Doesn't he care about me? I'm so sad lately, and hurt, and disappointed, and I know I'm the kind of mind over heart strong girl with invisible barriers to protect myself from getting hurt, but I like this guy, I like him so much and even though it hurts I don't want to leave him, but there's always a limit. And sometimes I think I'm too much for him, and why should I be with someone who depends on smoking weed? That cares more about his weed than about his girlfriend's feelings? Bout how his actions hurt me? How his words make my heart break into 1000 pieces just when he says "I won't change for you, so if you don't like me then leave me." Someone who cared about someone wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say that to him, because I wouldn't want him to leave me. If you say that it's because you really don't care about being or not being with the other person, because maybe I could've answer him "I don't want to be with you and I want to leave you" and he wouldn't mind. I shouldn't be with him, but I am, because I care about him this much and knowing he doesn't care about me as I do, hurts me. It breaks my heart.

Something I'm beginning to wonder about y'all. Even though I've known my 'ex-friend' shall we say for 5 years, who IS she for real? What did she do to earn or keep my friendship? Why did I believe that she deserved MY friendship when she offered next to nothing in return? In short, Who is SHE to deserve ME? Now wait a minute here..let's go with this for a sec. I'm a HELLUVA guy, not that ugly, big loving heart, strong family values and morals, lots o' muscles, intelligent, have a GREAT career with a bright future and can WAIL on guitar! WHY in the world should I even THINK she deserved me??? Man, She lost out BIG TIME!!!!!!!! I have issues ( as y'all know) like anyone else, but nothing to keep me from regaining my dignity and getting ME back from that 'situation'. Here's the thing: SHE'S THE ONE THAT LOST OUT, NOT ME!!!!!!!SO here's something else I'm beginning to realize..A good loving heart deserves a good loving heart. TRUE Love isn't love unless it's returned and nurtured. We can adore 'em until the end of time, worship them, put them on a pedestal, give them gifts and attention. They LOVE it- people love attention.....But it ain't real unless it's returned. I know I know, DUH!!!! Y'all are saying "this boy ain't right"-that's ok, I'm learning..Better late than never huh??? So she was the cutest little gal I ever laid eyes on-I realized today that I thought the same exact thing about a girl I knew 10 years ago, and for that matter, every gal I ever had a 'thing' for was the absolute most drop-dead gorgeous thing I ever saw!!! I digress... Just WHO is this person after all? In reality, she's a STRANGER...She's done NOTHING to deserve the warmth and love in my heart. She may have a good heart, but there was little effort to return the love and attention I gave her. I look at love like this now...It's sort of like a fresh, beautiful flower that just blooms and grows as long as it's cared for. If it's neglected, it wilts and dies, leaving an ugly twisted weed. I ain't no weed...I thought I'd bloomed, but I haven't even been planted yet In essense, I'm realizing what the whole situation REALLY was. I have a ways to go, including getting REALLY pissed as another poster has..But this is the FIRST day on my way back to me... Ok, well don't know if that'll help anybody, but I think I'm beginning the road back, and just wanted to keep y'all informed on my progress. There's some really special folks here that get ya thinking...

During the 5 days after I moved out of his house, suprisingly I only felt exhausted instead of being devastated . Had a few down moments but that was it. I thought I really loved him, how come I don't feel that bad after break-up? Anyway, last Saturday I went to his house to pick up the rest of my stuff. We were quiet friendly and he hugged me a few times. Then I mentioned that I wanted our sex tapes to be erased. He refused and told me he wanted to keep them. So we started fighting but he just wouldn't do it. I know he had a sex tape of his other ex gf and one time he even said if I would like to watch it. I was like "are you sick? I like to watch female bodis doesn't mean I like to watch your naked ex gf!!" (don't get me wrong. I am not a lesbian. I just think women are more beautiful then men. they are art) and I asked him he needed to get rid of it at certain point of our relationship. He said no way. Now he has my sex tape and who knows if he would show it to his next gf or not. He told me that's how he remembers his past. It's his memory. and I am making too much a big deal out of it. howeveer, to me it's very disrespectful and I don't think he has the right of doing so. Later on, he told me he still loves me just as he did seven days ago when I left him. He said he sees me as the person he can spend his whole life with. Now things are not going well and we should take a break from each other to see how we feel. He will quit smoking one day because he wants to. If I move to some other places for my new job, as long as it's in FL, he will consider moving with me. My emotions are so messed up...how someone could love you and do those stupid disrespectful things at the same time? I am so confused..

I came accross this article online and I think it makes some very good points: link removed With MySpace being so popular, many people don't think twice about what they put in their profiles. Employers & law enforcement are starting to search sites like MySpace. I recently had a problem with a family member who thought it was "cool" to post photos of himself drinking and smoking weed on MySpace. Even more recently, a "professional" person I have worked with in the disability field has a MySpace page with photos of himself drinking and with comments that degrade people with disabilities.... calling them "retards". We are still trying to figure out what to do about it at work. People really need to think twice about how they present themselves to the world. I hate to sound like a conservative old lady: But being half naked and portaying oneself as a party animal or drug/alcohol abuser is probably not a good idea. Neither is disclosing your favorite sexual positions.](*,) I'm astonished at how many people have MySpace accounts that do just that- and you can find them so easily by searching for their name and location. Don't put anything online which you would not want your boss to see, especially if your page is so easily found. I can't believe how many people have their first and last names on their MySpace, and want to advertise such things about themselves. BellaDonna

We are all looking for love, right?? The great quest we all seek........it is a fact that we have to weed through the bad to find the good.....to find that "connection". Correct me if I am wrong here, but it seems as though most of us miss out on the "fun" of dating, and get right to the bad/scary parts a little too fast.......does he/she like me?, or why hasn't he/she called? And we seem so good at picking out all the flaws, but have we forgotten that we are all different? I recently took a step back, and told myself that this is "dating", and it's actually pretty fun! We end up with great stories and adventures........sometimes heartache, yes, but that is part of the risk we take, right? Any thoughts or opinions on this? I always look forward to the wonderful diversity here on ENA.

My best friend, O, and her husband are expecting their first child in March. I've been noticing lately that he hasn't been treating her with the utmost respect and I wonder if I should step in and say something. I've known her since we were six years old and she's like a sister to me. I don't like knowing that her husband may be mentally/emotionally abusing her. I'm really confused about what to do. I don't want her to think I'm prying into her personal life. I'd appreciate some advice. Example: A few nights ago, my boyfriend and I hosted a poker night at my house and invited O and P over. Before the game, I brought out some refreshments for everyone and noticed that O was eating very little. "Aren't you hungry?" I asked her. She nodded slowly and darted an almost fearful look at P, and responded, "Yes, but I don't want to eat too much because someone called me a fat whale today." I was shocked. I looked disbelievingly at her husband and asked him why he would ever say such a thing to any woman, much less a pregnant woman. He insisted that he'd been joking, but I shot back that obviously she took it pretty seriously if she wasn't eating. He changed the subject and the game soon began. Now, O's husband, P, is very competitive and a sore loser, especially when it comes to poker. At some point in the game, he made a lousy bet and O called his bluff. She ended up winning half of his chips. Just a game, right? Apparently, P didn't like it at all. He exploded. He screamed at her in front of us all. "DAMMIT, PREGGERS!" he shouted, "WHY'D YOU CALL IT? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BUTT IN?!" He sounded like a raving maniac. I told him to calm down- that it was just a game and that she hadn't broken any rules. He continued right on shouting. "YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO PLAY! SO WHY DO YOU BOTHER?!" At this point, my boyfriend was getting annoyed and boomed, "You must suck pretty badly at this game if you just lost to a person who doesn't even know how to play!" That shut P up for the rest of the evening. The whole while, O looked as if she wanted to cry. I felt awful. I have no idea what's going on with her husband. He never used to be this way. Is this "father-to-be" type pressure that's unhinging him or is it something else? O had recently told me that they've been getting into arguments over the fact that they can't have sexual relations due to doctor's orders and that P recently took up his old marijuana habit again. Is it the weed that has him acting out, you think? I'm just worried that one day he'll snap and hit her or something. I hope it never comes to that, but even so, no one should be made to suffer through all that mental/emotional abuse he's throwing at her. What do you guys think I should do? Talk to O, or back off and mind my own business?

So Ive been seeing someone for quite a long time now, and I knew at the outset that she used to smoke weed. Her past is of course, her past, but after being off of it for for months, she wants to start again. I had thought that this was over, and it bothers me because I am very uncomfortable with drugs. To make matters worse, she has mentioned interst in trying LSD and ecstasy. Now I grew up with a drug- counselor for a father and I know the dangers of those drugs. How do I communicate my worries without seeming like Im trying to control or change her? She hasnt been defensive or angry about the topic, but it really upsets me. thanks in advance.

So Ive been seeing someone for quite a long time now, and I knew at the outset that she used to smoke weed.

To make matters worse, she has mentioned interst in trying LSD and ecstasy. Now I grew up with a drug- counselor for a father and I know the dangers of those drugs. In fact, he’s the manager of a drug rehab facility. And she has made it clear that before she does anything she would do her research, and that shes not sure how badly she wants to try the drugs. I know that if I told her that she had to choose between me or the drugs she would stop and never bring it up again. The this is that I dont want to put down ultimatums on her even if I could. I have a strong belief in the idea that relationships arent about forcing people into things. I also feel that in a relationship as good as ours (And we really do have a strong bond and great trust) I know I dont want her to do hard drugs, but Im nout sure if I should do anything about the marijuana. Before the other drugs came up, I was ok with her smoking weed. Although I am uncomfortable with it, I know that the dangers arent that frightening and that she never does it in a situation that might endanger her relationship (She does in it a circle of girl-friends, not parties) and she has never been an intense user. I think I forgot to mention that since we have been together, she has remained clean. She has only expressed desire to do these things, and I didnt really get distresseds until she mentioned LSD and ecstasy. I may not be comfortable with weed, but I'm mature enough to look past that to an extent as long as does it responsibly (hey,we all have to make small compromises) but the fact that she is interested in harder drugs freaks me out, because I know those are dangerous, even if I realise that my outlook on weed is more of a prduct of my environment growing up. She is not trying to fight me on this, but I just dont know where to draw the line, because I know that if one person smokes weed in a relationship with someone who doesn't, it can cause problems.How do I communicate my worries without seeming like Im trying to control or change her? She hasnt been defensive or angry about the topic, but it really upsets me. thanks in advance.

me and my girlfriend have been together for 11 months. our 1 year anniversary is on January 6th, 2007. i love her to death and i never want to lose her. we've talked about our future and how our wedding is going to be. she really means a lot to me... here's some brief backgroud on me and her ME- Before we met, i was into a LOT of heavy drinking and i used to smoke marijuana about once every 3 weekends or so. so we finally met and she made me promise to cut down on the drinking, and completely stop smoking any kind of substance. i was cool with this, because i really wanted to quit smoking before hand, but never really had a reason not to. and drinking...well, i could still drink just not as much, and that was a small sacrafice i could make for her. HER- Before we met, my girlfriend was what she called her, "boy crazy" times. basically she was looking for love in any guy and gave herself up very easily. she was very flirtatious and LOVED to show off her body. (she once wore a mini skirt and tank top to the mall 2 days before christmas in OHIO). so when we met, it was my rule that she'd have to stop revieling herself like she had been and to stop being so "friendly" to guys. and for the most part, she dresses very conservitive now and really watches what she says to other guys. so like i said, we've been together for 11 months, and ive kept true to every promise. but then i was over at a friends house 2 nights ago and he had a joint on him. this was no big deal because i had even handled the bags of marijuana before all of this during my 11 months, but never once was tempted to smoke any of it. but it had been a very long day and i was just really stressed out over some stuff and we were walking to a friends house and he was smoking the joint. so then like he usually does, he offered me some, i said no i quit, and he offered again, asking if i was sure. i dont know what came over me but i took it from him, looked at it and took 1 hit off of it. i then blew out the smoke and handed it back to him. i instantly slumped my head towards the groud in resentment. i got a small buzz off of the marijuana and i couldnt have felt any worse about it. i sat at my friends house and didnt say one word, i just sat on the couch and had my face in my hands, regretting what i had done. i feel as if i have cheated on my girlfriend. she trusted me with her whole heart and i went behind her back and took advantage of her trust and smoked anyway. i just think back to her promises, she promised me she wouldnt flirt or show off her body as i promised never to smoke again. this is just like her going and wearing a bra and thong and hitting on 10 guys behind my back. i feel so so terrible about this, but i dont know what to do. should i tell her? im so scared because christmas is coming up then our 1 year. i dont want her to leave me. she has always told me, "i would never date someone who used or sold drugs." and playfuly id ask, "what if i said i smoked some week last night?" and she always says something like, "then we'd be done". i feel awful but i dont know what to do, i wouldnt want her to keep anything from me, so i feel it's not fair that im keeping this from her. so what should i do? should i tell her now? should i wait and tell her in a few months? or should i just not mention it and swear on my life to never touch the stuff again? im so confused and so sad about it. i just wish i would take it back. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thank you... -
Hey, Recently I had a bad expierence after smoking weed (posted a thread on it). I'm getting better day by day, but it seems I have Anxiety. I get the anxiety by worrying about the anxiety mostly. I am able to go fairly long period without having an anxiety attack now, and when I do they arn't that bad - I can just kind of ignore them. I've seen a few docters etc, and they want me to take Beta-Blockers to help break the cycle, although I feel like I am gradually getting better anyway. The Dr said taking the beta-blockers will speed up the recovery (by eliminating the physical side, thus taking the fear away), but if i don't take them I will still recover, just slower. I asked about the side-effects of the drugs, and he told me I wont get any, bar maybe cold fingers/toes. However, I read on the box/internet that they can cause other side-effects. Are these things safe or not? Also reading on here/the internet it seems like people don't recover from anxiety So basically, can you recover from anxiety? And will these beta blockers do anything to me? Thanks!

Yesterday evening I smoked 2 bongs of weed. Suddenly I felt very illl and felt like I was dieing (heart beat racing, dizzyness, felt like I was dreaming etc). It seems I probably had something like an attack of Acute Anxiety Disorder, which I read can happen from smoking weed. I woke up today though and I felt kind of spaced, like I wasn't fully 'with-it', although I could function normally etc, just felt a little weird in my head. I told my friends and they said it's probably because I havn't eaten or drunk enough. I just tried to eat now, and drank plenty of water. i felt very sick though, and more dizzy than before. I'm guessing I may be feeling this way because of a combination of weed+not enough sleep+not enough food and drink. Either way its been 20 hours andi still feel very bad. What shall I do?

Recently I was in one of my classes, one that I sit next to a cute girl. She seems nice enough, pretty soft spoken and timid. These guys next to me were talking before she was there one day, and they started talking about her. The one guy I could tell throughout the semester was trying to flirt with her. I don't know exactly how she thought of it but it always seemed pretty pathetic to me. Pretty much everything he said or asked her was obviously an attempt at flirting. She would occasionally laugh and talk back but she would rarely talk to him without him initiating the conversation. He would also try and talk to her after class as she left but of course I wasn't going to follow the conversation. Anyway, while they were talking the guy says something like "Yeah, I'm working on (her name)" To me this guy sounds like a creep, and recently he's been following and talking to her after class. I've been thinking about trying and get to know her, enough to ask her out. Although this guy is taking up a lot of her attention. How good are girls at picking up on guys who are just looking to make them a tally mark? It pisses me off that these guys can get girls despite their intentions; and that even the nice girls get duped. Does this guy sound like a creep or am I just paranoid?

A really good friend of mine smokes way too much weed and has a serious drinking problem and has done since he was about 15 (he's 21 now) he also has a fairly consuming porn obsession and serious anger management issues. He says he's fine, that he works hard, and the at the end of the day he just wants to relax with drink and weed. (He does work hard and has a well paying job, he feels very pressured to make a lot of money). He drinks an alarming amount , yesterday he started drinking at about 10 am and didn't stop till 5 am the next morning,( Withinn a 3 hour period he smokes about 5 joints by himself) he does this every weekend. On weekdays it starts as soon as work finishes. He carries booze and hash wherever he goes. He recently told me that he was molested by a female babysitter as a very young child. He insists that he's fine with it and that it was good for him, He comes from a very 'macho' familly, His uncles took him to brothels as a teenager and his dad is also into porn in a bug way. when he told his dad what happened he said 'congratulations' and behaved like it was a great rites of passage ( he was 5 at the time). I mention this because I believe that weather he knows it or not, a lot of his anger issues stem from this. (BTW I don't have a problem with porn generaly but its really affecting his attitudes about women , which I don't like and its taking up so much of his time.) Anyway I'm really worried (so is another friend). It seems as though he's just getting worse and worse, His familly think he's doing fine as long as he's making a lot of money, they don't seem to care about the substance abuse, in fact they encourage the drinking. maybe theyre in denial. I haven't confronted him about anything because I'm afraid of his reaction. I know this is cowardly. I have to say something though. He's already lost a 5 year relationship and his health is suffering. Hes so young and I can see him slipping away already. How can I phrase is so that he won't freak out?

I guess this one's pretty simple...my boyfriend and I have been dating for about 4 months now and when we first started going out, I knew he smoked weed and did shrooms and a lot of hardcore stuff that I would never do. But he was an amazing guy, and I never really tried to get him to quit because I figure as long as he wasn't high around me or got me involved with that stuff, our relationship would be perfectly normal.. But now, I'm wrong...I hate that when we made plans for a special Halloween evening type thing together, he goes, "I'm gonna eat special brownies and smoke some bud before I pick you up" and I'm like, "baby, can't that wait until later? I wanna spend time with youuu" and he's like, "alrightttt" like it's a burden, and it's just that the problem is getting worse...he's smoking weed like everyday and it intereferes with our relationship now... what do i do?
