I'm feeling super stressed recently, Doing all this uni work, worrying about what's wrong with my tummy, being sick all the time, moving country and dealing with past abuse is taking its toll. I can't remember the last time it was this bad. Had a big fight with my doctor and even though they won't give me beta blockers (they could kill me because of my athsma) he gave me some other anxiety meds (forget name) on top of my Paroxetine. So I took one today as a treat (I can't take them everyday because theyre addictive) and now I feel sweeeet and smooth and relaxed. mmmm I'm in bed and im going to take a much deserved nap. Night! Ooooooh P.s I saw a ghost on saturday night! He was sat at the end of my bed with a sack over his head that kind of looked like a balaclava. He was smiling at me and then turned his head round and dissapeared! creepy.

People who suffer from anxiety do so I believe because of one of two reasons. As children they were pampered so much by a parent or both, that they never had to make decisions for themselves, or the complete opposite, the parents were never around to guide them, whether they were physically around or not.
Which of these two do YOU best fit into?
I am/was a champion 8-ball player. A younger champion I know suffers from anxiety, he needed medication before he played in any tournaments otherwise he could not handle the pressure of any given situation.
I know that he was a spoiled child, because he has an older brother who is treated by the parents indifferently to him. So bizarre is the support of the child that in 2006 this bloke did not qualify for state selection at the national championships because he could not get time off work to do so.
Coincidentally however, the first ever World Cup of Pool was held in Australia at National championship time. As the captain of the national team of the previous year, he was invited to play in the world cup.
He decided that given that he was now going to go away he would apply for a place in the state team. The team however had been selected already via a knock-out tournament.
He applied for entry any way siting his previous record to be good enough to gain him entry, remember though the team had already been selected and no vacancy existed.
To win selection he had to convince the board of management that he was worthy, the board of management found him ineligible, but do YOU think that was the end of it, no way.
An illegal special general meeting was held and he was included in the team. He quite clearly cheated to get into the team and thought like he hadn\'t at all.
YOU see, it mattered not to him whether he cheated or not, he had always got his way as a child, and was just as determined as an adult to do so as well. Does he not under those circumstances then deserve to have the condition he has?
Or should his parents be shot for abusing their child in the way that they did? His boundaries are non existent, and he needs medication to maintain any semblance of stability.
The odds are though that he was born a happy healthy baby, but look at him now. And who is to blame? Sadly, more often than not it is well meaning but seriously ill parents!!!
So wierd
Are you serious! You saw a ghost in your room? Holy sh*t! Were you not scared? Glad you\'re feeling good despite the stress. :)
