Anxiety Poll

I am curious to see if method of birth has any correlation with anxiety levels. This includes either panic attacks or general anxiety.

I was hella depressed for more than a year and I'm a c-section baby. Got the help I needed now I'm fine. I don't think type of birth had anything to do with it. Was more concussion related.

I am just curious. I don't really have any basis for this but I thought we might get some cool results. Not enough votes in yet to make any sense of it.

Most people who are on the internet socializing are socializing on the internet due to anxiety. My theory anyway.

That's a good point, this wasn't exactly a random selection.
There is a lot of anxiety on the Shroomery. I wonder if those are above average levels (I'm pretty sure they are) and why that is so. Does drug use contribute to anxiety? Are people with anxiety more likely to frequent internet message boards?
Many interesting things could come from this if somebody pursued it further.

Also, most people here tend to smoke pot and pot is a large contributor to anxiety.

I do both personally, but you might be right anyway.

I think the poll being up on a Friday night makes this sample pretty biased too.

It helps my anxiety most of the time. 
Maybe they tend to smoke pot because they have anxiety... Which is one of my reasons.
Not saying that it doesn't have potential to exasperate anxiousness though...

I don't understand the relationship between pot and anxiety, honestly. It seems like I'm most likely to get anxiety from it when my tolerance is low, but with a strong tolerance it becomes more of an anxiety-killer.

Sativa heavy strains can produce anxiety in certain people as where indica is more of a relaxant. I dont get anxiety from a couch-lock heavy indica. It relaxes me and mellows me it.
if i have a tolerance though I prefer a sativa to help get me more energized and indica just makes me sleep.

Interesting, 89% of C-section births report some anxiety while 91% of vaginal births report some anxiety. First of all those numbers are staggering. Second of all, I was expecting C-section births to have higher rates of anxiety. The numbers are too close to put any weight into vaginal births having higher rates of anxiety though.
It's not exactly the most scientific poll either.

I don't really think it matters that much...as a baby you don't really give a fuck how you're coming out, I don't believe you can grasp the notion of coming out.
I have no idea if i'm a c-section baby or not, and don't want to find out.

I've found it can do both. It depends on the person mainly. Some people will smoke pot to calm down from panic attacks, some people will smoke pot and get panic attacks.
Of course it doesn't matter much as a baby but my theory is that it would be kind of like skipping the big bang, the beginning, if you were a C-section (like I was). That might not be the best way to put it but you don't experience that natural entrence into the world (blah blah blah naturalistic fallacy blah blah) and I was wondering if it would have any effects later on in life.
I have no scientific basis to think this, it was just a thought on my mind and a nice break from writing papers to post it.
