I havn't figured out how to apply this observation, but when I used to get anxiety, I noticed that behind the anxiety was sadness or depression. When I really let myself get into it, I would want to cry...and not in just a "get me out of here!" sort of way like I'm giving up trying to combat the anxiety. It seems like it was linked as a cause, or another event that would lead back to the cause.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Yes, I think I know what you mean. How do you manage to no longer get anxiety?

Yea one time I meditated on my anxiety and eventually I just began to cry, it was almost a liberating feeling.

Lets say I have a term paper I've been putting off.
If I think about the paper sober... I worry a little, then I deal with it consciously. "Damn, yea I really need to get started. I'll go to the library on sunday and do some research."
If I think about the paper while stoned... I am just in this stupified state, couchlocked, and all I can do is get down on myself. I am not conscious enough to get myself out of the worried state. So I stew in my anxiety and my body becomes a sad sack.
If I'm tripping, very little worries me... it's all a game.
If I'm drunk, virtually nothing worries me because I'm emotionally anesthetized.
Pot is my least favorite drug.

That's pretty interesting because for me it is the absolute opposite. I just am lazy when I am sober, kind of jaded and prone to procrastinate. When I am under cannabis influence though, and this is one of the major reasons why I use it, the overwhelming feeling of urgency takes hold and I usually get much more productive during the few hours the trip lasts than when I work in a sober state.
That and my work is much more heartfealt.
