Hmm...

[Kiro]

Because I mix Paxil with Alcohol. :)

[TaeshiLH]

You shouldn't, though ";__;" I don't think drinking excessively is the greatest thing to do "XD;" Could harm your health and all..

And doesn't mixing things along with the alcohol make it even worse?

[Kiro]

Well it says to be cautious when drinking with Paxil. Except that's probably a bunch of b.s. because you shouldn't even drink or need Paxil in the first place.

Only reason I think I got on Paxil is because I have post-traumatic anxiety disorder which is probably caused from smoking for... almost going on 4 years now. I've just been reading about smoking and heart arrhythmia, and yep...

Although I did have sort of an obsessive compulsive disorder as a child, I'm not exactly sure if I still do. I think everyone has OCD to some degree.

So right now I'm doing research on these things at the moment so I can quit worrying about it, and quit smoking.

[TaeshiLH]

Well.. obviously mixing things that you shouldn't be taking in the first place will bring more of a risk, wouldn't it? "o_o;" Like mixing rat poison and vinegar.. you shouldn't be drinking those things in the first place.. so why mix them together? How does that suddenly make taking them any better?

.. ";___;" Binge drinking and smoking for four years? That's really dangerous! You really should watch out for your health.. c'mon now. Best of luck with the quitting smoking bit, too <=D You can do iiiiit!

I have OCD. I'm compulsively obsessive. Once I like something I just can't stop talking about it. >_>

[TaeshiLH]

Ahaha.. I also have that issue "XD;" I think it's more obsession with the show/game/whatever rather than being obsessive-compulsive. I tend to at times ramble to Souppy about the same thing.. but I normally stop myself because most of the time, he never even heard of it.. or really seen it enough to make a judging on it.

I have a compulsement of turning off the lights, though ":|" If they're not being used, I have to turn them off.. same with faucets. Just makes me freak out if they're on and nobody's using them.

[Kiro]

Haha, yeah I've been telling myself that forever. I'm sure I can, if I find a way. And well, I found a way. To scare the - out of myself, it's the only weapon I can only use and thus I have to do it myself.

Although, I was wrong and I have to apologize to Squiggles or was it Blue... I don't remember. But I apologize. Actually I owe a lot of people. Except I don't want you to take it all like it's not going to happen again because it might. I'll admit. Thus, and I'm not saying I'm going to on purpose. It really isn't the "on purpose" in it at all. You are controlled by it, yep you were right. You have control, except you give in to it's control, and it's control is more than your own. It's sort of like a "demonic possession" after a while.

Basically it all starts when you drink something. You like how it feels such as any other drug. Then you start wanting it more, and you abuse it. It's good you don't like feeling that way, by the way. I don't like feeling high when tried smoking pot, so I don't smoke it. I have nothing against the drug because it's been used since the start of men basically and it's purely organic substance which it's %'s of killing you, and by how the drug works, are dramatically low, if you were to set aside the factor of the tar that it puts in your lungs which.. well I'm rambling. I'm against cocaine, heroine, .. uh... ex, speed, oxycottin. All that crap, it's just stupid. So I mean I can see where people are coming from when they don't like alcohol. I'll say also, when I start getting pissed off when drinking it, I get pissed off at myself because I'm pissed off and I wish it wouldn't make you that way. And I get pissed off because of the science in it, and how it's such a toxic substance after it's broken down in the body. It pisses me off... I hate it yet, I love it. So, I don't know really what to do. I guess I'm just going to have something to drink, something like... something strong, and enjoy it that day and not do it for like a month or two.

Again.. I say all that because I don't know if it will happen again, the only way I can prevent it is to either just not have as much or not drink at all. Which, I don't want to not drink at all. Then it's harder because when you do just drink that one time, you want to do it all the time.

I think I might just jog and stuff and get in shape, eat healthy and then drink. Seems balanced enough if not healthy in the long run.


Then if you want to like... learn:
---------------

Anxiety: Anxiety is the most common diagnosed mental illness in the United States. Anxiety disorders include generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic attacks, phobias and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

---------------

Anxiety

1. A state of uneasiness and apprehension, as about future uncertainties.
2. A cause of anxiety: For some people, air travel is a real anxiety.
2. Psychiatry. A state of apprehension, uncertainty, and fear resulting from the anticipation of a realistic or fantasized threatening event or situation, often impairing physical and psychological functioning.
3. Eager, often agitated desire: my anxiety to make a good impression.

Hmm, interesting. Let's see how to prevent Anxiety, *looks this up*

# Take care of your body by eating a well-balanced diet. Include a multivitamin when you can't always eat right.
# Avoid alcohol, and reduce or eliminate your consumption of sugar and caffeine.
# Take time out for yourself every day. Even 20 minutes of relaxation or doing something pleasurable for yourself can be restorative and decrease your overall anxiety level.
# Trim a hectic schedule to its most essential items, and do your best to avoid activities you don't find relaxing.
# Keep an anxiety journal. Rank your anxiety on a 1-to-10 scale. Note the event during which you felt anxious. Jot down any feeling or thought you had just before you got anxious. Keep track of things that make you more anxious or less anxious.
# If you begin to hyperventilate, exhale into a paper bag and inhale the air within the bag. This increases the amount of carbon dioxide you are inhaling, which can reduce the urge to hyperventilate. Inhaling from a bag will help relieve any dizziness or tingling you might feel.


Haha, an anxiety journal. That's pretty funny.

I tried meditation, it actually worked. My mom thought I was falling away from my religion or something, but that's entirely not true. Even though it has some idolized symbols or "atmosphere" of it, it's still a medical procedure.

[Duckboy]

grargh.
Way too much to read for fluff

[TaeshiLH]

Ahh.. okay.. I think it'd be best if you cut down on the beer. Having one or two isn't so harmful, but it actually turns very harmful if you start having tons of it.. so maybe you should just try and control yourself.. and just slowly try to decrease in drinking.. I guess it's like smoking. If you try and quit all of a sudden, it's not gonna work.. you have to give it time and slowly decrease in using.

My Father only drinks one or two beers now XD He used to drink a lot back then and become.. insane.. but he quit now after finding out how much it upset me ":|" I'm kinda now the supervisor for him. If I see him drinking, I kinda badger him teasingly that it will be his only one.. and that's it.

I know it sounds annoying of me, but he's always the one that's gonna drive me home ":|;" So I don't want him going crazy and killing both of us.. plus, drinking too much will hurt him.. and I don't want Father getting hurt.

[Squiggles the Chao]

It's not healthy to try to gradually step off of beer: it never works. You have to make a firm commitment to stop drinking, and then you have to stop. Slowing down doesn't work, because it still feeds the addiction, which only makes it worse.

Many people just don't think they can do it that way by themselves. I've seen many people turn to God through AA, and, feeling that they have a powerful force helping them, have stopped. It wasn't the route I took; it's possible to do it alone, but some people have trouble with that. AA probably the only subset of religion that I have any respect for, because it does such great things. If you really need help, go get help.

There are some times when I hate Truth or Dare.

[Kiro]

Oh I totally agree with you because I've done that before many times to where I'll not touch a drop for about 3 months or more. It's the pain of it when you want more out of it when you start up again, that gets you hooked again. I have a family history of people who drink also. On my mom's side she lost her father to it. So I know that's in me, I do believe it. Well, not the drinking but the anxiety possibly that permits yourself to go and grab it all the time.

I mean the only permanent way to not even have a possibility to turning into that state again is to just not do it the rest of your life but I find that a big obstacle for anyone who's been under a good influence of it. But like Taeshi said, her father has like 2 beers or something. And there's no problem with that as long as you just keep it there at 2 beers. But yes, it is such a dormitory devil. I suppose... live and learn. The more you know and the more experience you get from it (And of course I mean knowing what harm it can do), you can control it more and still enjoy it.

[TaeshiLH]

Aww.. I didn't know that, Squiggles! People normally recommend you gradually stop smoking so I assumed it would be the same for drinking or something "XD;" I guess that really shows how unaware of some things I am.. so that was a bad suggestion "XD;" Bad to suggest when you don't even know all too much about it.. sorry.

But yeah.. maybe train yourself to only take about two beers? Father used to be really hooked to it.. mostly because he used to be very depressed and down back then.. but he tried to get himself out of drinking too much and he did. He still does, but not enough to render him insane o.o

[Kiro]

Complex PTSD (sometimes called "Disorder of Extreme Stress") is found among individuals who have been exposed to prolonged traumatic circumstances, especially during childhood, such as childhood sexual abuse. Developmental research is revealing that many brain and hormonal changes may occur as a result of early, prolonged trauma, and contribute to difficulties with memory, learning, and regulating impulses and emotions. Combined with a disruptive, abusive home environment that does not foster healthy interaction, these brain and hormonal changes may contribute to severe behavioral difficulties (such as impulsivity, aggression, sexual acting out, eating disorders, alcohol/drug abuse, and self-destructive actions), emotional regulation difficulties (such as intense rage, depression, or panic) and mental difficulties (such as extremely scattered thoughts, dissociation, and amnesia).

As adults, these individuals often are diagnosed with depressive disorders, personality disorders or dissociative disorders. Treatment often takes much longer, may progress at a much slower rate, and requires a sensitive and structured treatment program delivered by a trauma specialist.


Symptoms associated with reliving the traumatic event:

* Having bad dreams or nightmares about the event or something similar
* Behaving or feeling as if the event were actually happening all over again (these are known as "flashbacks")
* Having a lot of emotional feelings when reminded of the event
* Having a lot of physical sensations when reminded of the event (e.g. heart races, pounds, or "misses a beat"; sweating, difficulty breathing, feeling faint, feeling a loss of control)
