    I just want them to create drugs that act faster, say what u want about weed, but at least it works quicker than 8 damned weeks! I am trying not to use it though and just stick to the sertraline,I know it is counter productive to the tablets... but crap,imagine having to try different drugs with months and months going by, and in between zero support,hell I ran out of my tablets before having to struggle to get an appointment with the docs for more! Would make it easier if they put you on repeat presciption

      a used to smoke weed its no exactly the best drug to take if your anxious a wouldnt go to the toilet because a thought they were going to talk about me and so did a lot of others sitting there as forgoing out no way the only time a enjoyed it was sitting on my own listening to some tunes or a film some people can overcome the paranoia that comes with it if your one of them i agree and a wouldnt bother waiting 8 weeks but it made me paranoid.

    Well..I was born lonely! The whole reason I took up playing chess in my teens, I didnt have to rely on anyone else,just me, here is the interesting fact,I became damn good at it..... I watch a lot of animated stuff..in particular adventure time,in one episode a question was posed... does creativity come from sadness.. I thought about that, and believe that actually..it does! I program computer games now and find that as long as I can create things and stick to it,then it helps to forget about other things. I believe I am using my sadness to indeed harness creativity... We all know van gogh right? the dutch painter.. He was probably doing the same with his paintings right?
