Definitely a pot-head = ) But a smart and devilishly handsome pot-head lol.
I rarely drink though, and no cigs. No other drugs either, although I'd do shrooms again if I came across them.
Right on, Hunter, I'm also a multi-platform gamer: PC, PS4, Xbox One, Wii U and even a 3DS. My name on PS4 and WiiU is RyuChamploo, and so is my "profile name" on Steam...but my account name is sean1620. Not sure which name people see.
And on Xbox it's the same with a space - Ryu Champloo. Fellow shorties, please feel free to add me on any platform!
I have suffered from general anxiety and panic attacks for the better part of the last 18 years (I'm 38). Personally, I've had some good luck with a mental health counselor. NOT a psychologist and definitely NOT a psychiatrist, a MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR. Big difference in how they approach mental health.
Anti-anxiety meds can help (Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan), but they're really just a band-aid that can cause you to become dependent on them to function. They're better for short-term relief, IMO.
On a day-to-day basis...things like regular exercise, along with breathing exercises and some light meditation/positive thinking usually gets me through the day.
But the most helpful thing for me, by far, was talking to a mental health counselor, and learning how to identify my own toxic thinking patterns.
I'm 38 and it's never gone away or gotten much better. If anything, I feel like it gets worse after high school. The best I can say is I'm slightly more numb to it.
