anyone feel like they're afraid of living?
    #5706946 - 06/03/06 09:45 AM (17 years, 7 months ago)

I always have a slight paranoia (and tons when i'm high) about being afraid to live.. a lot of things that i KNOW are harmless give me odd emotions which prevent me from doing it. i can temporarily defeat this and talk to girls for instance, or do something moderately daring, but the burst of motivation never lasts and i get worried about shit again, and use backward logic to find out reasons to doubt myself. then ill convince myself again, only to find doubt.

That is the story of my life. I often have anxiety over situations that should cause absolutely 0 anxiety. I don't know what it is but I find myself not doing things I used to do regularly because of these feelings. It's strange, and I don't like it.

I now toss a coin when it comes to these situations. Heads I do it. Tails I don't.

Silly I know, but it gives me the motivation to try things I normally wouldn't

Just get you're self drunk to the part where you don't care about anything..but then by that time I find I have a hard time talking. Who knows it might work for you guys.

"A smoker would theoretically have to consume nearly fifteen hundred pounds of marijuana within about 15 minutes to induce a lethal response... In strict medical terms, marijuana is far safer than many of the foods we commonly consume. For example, eating ten raw potatoes can result in a toxic response. By comparison, it is physically impossible to eat enough marijuana to induce death."

i overcame that reducing the amount of weed i smoke.

when i totally quit for a year, it all faded and i got very social
and upcoming, things are fine.
now i happen to smoke from time to time rather heavy and i can clearly see patterns of this coming back.

quit the weed id suggest, also alc and be surprised how things change.

"The worst mistake that you can make is to think you're alive when really you're asleep in life's waiting room."

Follow that advice. ^^^^

I had the same kind of fear, but it's almost completely faded now. I used to be scared to order pizza over the phone.

Just get into the habit of asking yourself what it really is that you're afraid of when you feel those odd emotions. It's usually something that isn't really worth worrying about. The fear will still be there, but train yourself to act in spite of it, for better or worse. It gets easier and easier, and soon you'll see it's the only way to go.

If you do something three days in a row, it becomes a habit. Use that to your advantage.

Good luck!

Have you considered psycho-therapy? It could help.

Mr_Psilocin: actually i thought about this the other day. the point where i can easily get out and socialize is only after 2 beers, or 4 depending on my mood. but i feel like after 2 beers, i'm a normal cool person who loves to talk. i dont need to be shitfaced to make freinds with everyone.

ohmatic: this is very reassuring. thats funny that you are social (and happy, right?) when youre not smoking for a while. with me, the BIGGEST killer is that my mind cant not accept the correlation with smoking and being paranoid, and success in life/being 'all together' with yourself. i feel like just the fact that im paranoid makes me less experienced than people who love to smoke. i figure its not really related or correlated, but then theres always that 1 black seed which grows and grows if it gets the chance.

WhiskeyClone: thanks man :smile: great advice. do you have any ideas of something i could do for 3 days? i think im going to start trying to make pure eyecontact with strangers and smile. i guess thats a start. great fact about the 3 days part too.. thats cool

You just gotta try to maintain the good part of the high. Not everybody is out to get you, and even if they are, fuck em. Just be as cool about things as you can be and take advantage of every situation.
