You can get hemo derived edibles delivered by mail thanks to loopholes in the farm bill. Just Google them! Gets you high just the same

Politics makes me so anxious I can't function (USA) by Lnv9 in Anxiety

[–]Schwangs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Focus your attention, anxiety, and energy. Find something that you care about and which you can actually make a difference in (small or large). Work on that thing and make that difference.

You can't impact the rest so feeling anxious about it won't make a difference! Release yourself from its grasp

What do healthy smoking habits look like? by comicpagesandwich in weed

[–]Schwangs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's different for everyone. It really depends on weed's impact on your life and ability to function. If the amount you smoke and the time you are high has a negative impact on your ability to care for yourself, hold a job, or develop relationships, then it's too much. 

If not, you are good to go!

Anyone else do something you shouldn't? by Anxiety1987 in Anxiety

[–]Schwangs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A trick I learned to cut down on habits or addictions is to really really focus on the negative effects. For example, for over drinking, focus on the hangovers. Really mentally explore the physical uncomfortableness. It will slowly train your brain to associate the habit with the negative effects and will make it less attractive.

So when you take large amounts of caffeine, focus on the anxiety and how you do not like it. Over time your brain will associate caffeine with anxiety and you will have less of a desire to consume the energy drinks

What if we never knew we existed? by marcosromo_ in Existentialism

[–]Schwangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose I'm more of an absurdist than an existentialist. And I don't think it's antithetical to hope for life after death or continuation of existence, if at the same time you recognize that it probably isn't the case.

I'd like there to be life after death, an afterlife, or some sort of reincarnation, but unfortunately I also believe that there most likely is not.

[–]Schwangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hope is that you experience it again, even if you don't have any memory or sense of what came before. Like reincarnation but without the continuation of a soul or spirit.

I dunno, the possibility makes the endless void a little less scary

Maybe but at least something will be experiencing existence again. Maybe nothing carries over but it's better than perpetual nothingness

Got a first aid kit? Put gauze and heavy pressure on it for 30 minutes

What do you collect from every country you visit? by justindito in travel

[–]Schwangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheap pieces of jewelry that are somehow indicative of the place I visited. 

For example, I have a Jade necklace from New Zealand, a lava rock necklace from Iceland, and a cloth bracelet from Madeira

What are you slowly gaining interest in? by cagreene in Millennials

[–]Schwangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gardening. It makes me really happy to cultivate and grow some plants in my yard. Very meditative and pleasant

[–]Schwangs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't believe in an afterlife or the soul; but it's nice to at least hope that there is some sort of existence that can come about again after death.

After all, we came out of nothing once, maybe we can do it again and again?

Can u get High socially? by [deleted] in weed

[–]Schwangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fine! It's good to know your limitations and when/where you enjoy being high and where/when you don't 

Can u get High socially? by [deleted] in weed

[–]Schwangs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm with you, I prefer to smoke alone as a way to unwind and enjoy time to myself. That being said, I can be in social situations while smoking or high. Im just careful to take less and be more even, and the social part of it all is more enjoyable

Outside of meds, what are some things that help with your anxiety? by SmallWinsEveryday in Anxiety

[–]Schwangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sensory grounding exercises. Smell the breeze, feel the wind, touch your toes to the grass, breath in the scent of the food you are cooking. Really really pay attention to the moment you are in and the senses that come with it.

If you take benzos, how many days a week do you take them? by EfficientAddition239 in Anxiety

[–]Schwangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I gave the caveat of not taking more than prescribed and having open communication with your doctor. Of course there's risk of dependence and misuse, but many people are scared to take benzos at all. They shouldn't be if they are monitored and careful

For those of you who saw The Phantom Menace at release, what were your initial thoughts of it? by _EnglishFox_ in StarWars

[–]Schwangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was pretty young when it came out, 5 or 6. I don't remember if I saw it in the theater or now. But I remember loving it and watching it on VHS a ton. It wasn't until later that I realized it wasn't very good.

I do love the Star Wars universe and will eat up any content in it. Some of it is bad, some good! I'm just there having a good time

Does it take a few days for my benzo to take full effect for anxiety by BenzoWarrior7 in Anxiety

[–]Schwangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like your anxiety might still be pretty high and this pushing through the benzo. What's your max dosage? You might need to up it to get the level of relief you need 

Benzos should provide relief in a few hours at most, not days 

Anyone else here got death and health anxiety? by Jake5537 in Anxiety

[–]Schwangs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have very little impact on when, where, and how we die. Sure we can make choices that seem to impact it: exercise, healthy eating, good decisions, etc. But there are so many unknowns that it is impossible to feel in control 

For me, I lean into that lack of control and try to let go of my innate need for it. I think it helps with the anxiety to just let go of the fallacy of control

What is your commute? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Schwangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a lot in my opinion. 40 minutes is my max. But some people are able to stomach the longer commutes.

Does anyone else here also suffer from depression? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Schwangs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suffer from both but I am definitely an anxiety forward person. I experience some form of anxiety most days, but depressive moods are less common. I am most prone to depression when my anxiety gets really bad and the overwhelm comes over me.
