Just to chime in on seroquel. I would't take that shit. Makes you gain so much weight, plus it made me depressed.

I think its a possiblity that you could argue that I am self medicating for some kind of anxiety disorder. I've always argued that - once I got used to it and became a "confident" smoker where I could handle most social situations without getting paranoid - smoking cannabis helped me to relax in many social situations, and gave me confidence to speak out in front of more than 2 or 3 people at a time. But it always had a negative effect where people would sometimes think I was being arrogant.

Anyway, this anxiety disorder I may or may not have. It's nothing to do with genetics, eating a healthy balanced diet helps a lot I think, it's nothing I was predisposed to though. It was because I was psychologically abused by one of my teachers at school when I was 6, and later physically bullied for many years later by the some of the rest of the kids who were encouraged to join in by her.

She has a reputation for picking on children who come from broken families. As a consequence of this, occasionally when someone challenges me in an aggressive way, even if I am physically capable of defending myself, or even simply an assertive manner, psycholgically I find myself unable to hld myself together very well, and it often results in my heart racing and my becoming extremely nervous.

I used to deal with these situations by further challenging the aggressor in a somewhat unmeasured (but never voilent I must stress) way, until I started smoking weed. Now I can more confidently diffuse these situations, when they arise, in more calm and collected manner.

I've lost a number of jobs in my life as a result of some my boss at work giving me a ticking off, or even simply being snotty with me or looking down on me, and I end up firing my mouth off putting them in their place.

Are serequal those little green tablets? I think my mate has those for anti-anxiety, and my god those kick arse. Had one once or twice and they just make me feel stoned. Awesome things.
Anyway, just for anyone interested ive been diagnosed with bipolar since I was 16 (nearly 4 years now), and Im on 600mg Tegretol daily (supposed to be 800mg, but I ditched a tablet because I started gaining weight and getting VERY lethargic) and 15mg aripiprazole.
