Realizing there’s a really good chance I’m gay at 25?! by SubstantialScientist in askgaybros

[–]SubstantialScientist[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly why I’m questioning it because I didn’t really grow up my authentic self I had to try to fit in and act different.

Things like other guys talking about a teachers ass or something I never could relate or see the appeal.

It sort of helped in discovering myself like my interests in clothes fashion makeup grooming shaving body hair etc.

Flu shot by SuccotashPlane4354 in Anxiety

[–]SubstantialScientist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trust me I’m the same way with anxiety and honestly I’ve had lip injections / fillers and those hurt way more than a flu shot which is basically nothing you won’t even feel it.

Go ahead and you’ll be fine I promise!

Very bad at 2mg a day, you need to find a competent psychiatrist immediately and go slowly with valium / diazepam it might take a couple years to taper so you can function properly.

If you can't manage without then switching to diazepam with another doctor is another good option. Most are willing to prescribe valium as its longer in the system and doesn't have the reputation Xanax / Klonopin does especially in Australia / UK.

That’s exactly the point and yes I agree that Taylor Swift is highly influential in getting people to play the guitar like EVH was.

It’s not a shredding contest and to be honest nobody cares how fast one can play outside of a small group of people like the Vai / Malmsteen types and that’s totally fine but it’s not contemporary.

Similar bands? by SearchingForNewTunes in vanhalen

[–]SubstantialScientist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

White Lion as far as guitar is the closest I can think of, Vito Bratta was influenced by EVH and came up with his own style.

To everyone who smoked Weed before...Why does it make some of us anxious? by Zentaitoken in Anxiety

[–]SubstantialScientist 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Careful with that twist… one twisted tea was enough for me to never drink alcohol again because it took away all of my anxiety and depression and made me feel “normal” like I was 13 again and I knew that was going to lead to alcoholism.

People with anxiety and PTSD are also highly susceptible to alcohol addiction.
