I can imagine. I'd still remind her of the possibility, because a thought-process regarding this chain-of-thought can always have a change-of-heart.



Really appreciate how respective, and receptive you are of my offerings as advice. I definitely hope I'm not coming across as condescending or anything-- just trying to provide an alternative perspective for you.

Coming across as nothing but 100% sincere.

That may very well help once we would find at least a temporarily better feel-good solution. She wouldn't be able to handle a job/career daily right now.. maybe once per week. I have tried to make that happen for her because I suspected it may help, but she hasn't wanted to.. or felt she could really do it. Not to mention she (on her own) feels guilty that day care for our 112 kids would cost more than she would likely earn.. she misses the point.

There are part-time with varying hours. My wife sells furniture at a local department store, and mostly works evening and weekends.

I always worry that the right meds won't end up finding a cure-- I'm not using scientific research to justify my claim, but it's just something I've thought about.


I find that drugs tend to mask mental illnesses more than treat them. This 'masking' tends to help some more than others, which is why the results of a given drug tends to be so inconsistent between populations.

I feel like the best treatment is having a structured, moderately-involved, and 'complex' -- yet balanced-- lifestyle with plenty of opportunities for socializing, exercising, and consuming a healthy diet to predispose your body in an optimal condition (both physically and mentally); with meds being a supplement to your condition to get through the 'troughs'


- $0.02 from someone who has never had any debilitating mental-strife himself.

I'd wager part of that is, like any other human behavior, because there probably is no single biological cause to anxiety issues in one person, and often no common causes among different people.

I think socializing would be great for extroverts, but for my wife, socializing is just more pressure and more anxiety.

As far as :420: is concerned, I'm not all that big into it. I can't smoke it(lungs, although seemingly huge, are very sensitive), but I have made brownies. And that does work, but again only for a few hours. If weed works for others, it might be as simple as getting the pill form of it, and taking it like you would an anti-depressant:

Yes the pill form is a great new method of consumption.

Also I bought my wife a top of the line vaporizor (540 dollars) and her lungs and throat are MUCH better off. Seriously huge difference in health while sacrificing nothing of the effects of the pot. Plus it tastes better and does not create hardly in smell (since there is no smoke)

Why can't anxious people live in cabins in the woods like they used to?

Buy me some land. Build me that Cabin deep in a forest. Modernize it with plumbing, electricity, internet. Clear out some space for a garden.

I'll never leave.

Never.

I had no idea vaporizing marj was an option. Huh.

I fall into what looks like a trend here. MJ is no good for me, causes anxiety, paranoia, stupidity, but doesn't seem to have that effect on my wife. Anyway, I think vaporizers are absolutely the way to go. I know some don't agree, but I think they just haven't used the right vaporizer yet. Many of them suck.

I'm guessing he's talking about a volcano, a bag-type vaporizer.

There is also another top-end unit around that price range called a VapeXhale Cloud that is designed to use with a glass bubbler.

There are also slightly less expensive but highly effective units from 7th floor like the silver surfer and the lifesaber.

I've dealt with anxiety issues for years, including heart palpitations as a very uncomfortable symptom.

I refuse to take prescription drugs, but I do take an herb called "kava" when I feel the onset of heavy anxiety.
It's a miracle herb!

Daily grape juice helps with the palpitations.
 
I've wanted to try kava but I have heard there are issues with purity and actually getting the real thing. Is that the extract you use? Is it effective, and how long does it last? Is it quick onset, or does it take a while to hit you, and do you build up a tolerance?

Yep the volcano is da bomb.

Also have a portable one called magic flight launch box that's pretty cool but kinda harsh on the throat

There is a strip club in slc that sells kava (no alcohol doe) that you drink.... looks like chocolate milk and tastes like dirt.... kinda makes me feel like I took a half a lortab or percocet

That would work for me. I mostly have issues sleeping and I have heard it can help with that without all the crap associated with things like ambien.
 
I used to drink a lot of caffeine, and it had basically zero effect on me. Even like string energy drinks.

Now whenever I even drink a like half a can of coke early in the day, I get all anxious and can't sleep till like two am. It's crazy. Even sounds inside my head change from just normal sounds I hear to be really loud and sound angry, if that makes sense.

I get anxious a little bit otherwise, but for some reason caffeine really does me in.
