I have been suffering from an anxiety disorder for 6 years now. It's hard to tell what exactly it is, whether it is generalized anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, panic disorder, OCD etc because I never got diagnosed and never wanted to be diagnosed with anything... I wanted to figure it out by myself and try to fix it by myself. But it's all the same thing in the end. It stops you from living life fully and interferes greatly with your social life. This isn't something to be messing around with and ignoring it as it will only get worse and worse for almost everyone. It also is a condition that you empower and that can be removed. I also know that being poker players, it makes it much easier to ignore it because we can and we don't depend on jobs to be able to live, so it's very easy to make it much worse by isolating yourself like I personally did. I know how helpful the information that I have come across has been for me, and I am a pretty severe case, so I am confident it can help everyone who suffers from any of the things mentioned above, whether it is less severe than me or more. Here's a little description I took on wiki about generalized anxiety. [quote]Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is an anxiety disorder that is characterized by excessive, uncontrollable and often irrational worry about everyday things, which is disproportionate to the actual source of worry. This excessive worry often interferes with daily functioning, as individuals suffering GAD typically catastrophise, anticipate disaster, and are overly concerned about everyday matters such as health issues, money, family problems, friend problems or work difficulties.[1] They often exhibit a variety of physical symptoms, including fatigue, headaches, nausea, muscle tension, muscle aches, difficulty swallowing, trembling, twitching, irritability, sweating, insomnia, and hot flashes. These symptoms must be consistent and on-going, persisting at least 6 months, for a formal diagnosis of GAD to be introduced. [1] Approximately 6.8 million American adults experience GAD, which affects about twice as many women as men.[/quote] If you see yourself in this or know ANYONE who that might resemble and that you love, go read up/tell your friend to go read up on Charles Linden and The Linden Method. This is the best advice you will EVER get for your condition, which isn't a really a disorder and calling it one is technically wrong. Psychiatrists or psychologists cannot help you nearly as much as this information I just gave you and in fact they will often make it worse and so will medication. If they help you well they help you while you are in a session with them, but as soon as you leave you are back at being alone with your condition. Anxiety sufferers need much more than this. I could write a lot more on the subject but I will stop here, if you would like to contact me about this feel free to do so. Someone on LP did and he's the reason why i'm writing this. If it could've helped him alone it will be worth it for having spent my time writing this on my birthday. But I hope it will help some others too.

Today. weeeeeee. I can officially go to vegas now. That'll have to wait though, I honestly am not in a hurry at all to go to vegas, am I the only one? I have no idea wtf I'm going to do today but I'm tired as fuck right now and going to bed. I'd like to get drunk but I think that'll have to wait until my brother arrives monday. I saw Pineapple Express today and it is probably the stupidest movie I have ever seen but I lol'ed hard. I loved the random Godspeed You! Black Emperor mention too, awesome band. I went and did some kayak with two friends of mine today was hilarious as fuck. My friend kept starting (or trying to start) conversations with almost every single decent to good looking girls we would see. He even asked a random girl when we arrived if there was a nudist beach near in a 100% serious in your face kind of way and the look on the girl's face was priceless. I also took some pics. Right before we left this girl arrived and she failed to get out of her kayak properly and fell into the water, was such an epic fail look how ashamed she looks LOL. I am confident in my read that it had something to do with her weight. This is SUCH an awesome picture. Plus we can see clearly the word STARCRAFT. zomg.

I had planned on taking the first week off to relax from last month but it ended up being 2 weeks because I've gone through a pretty horrible depression but I'm feeling much better now and plan on grinding again asap. I did a 1 1/2 hour 400NL 6max on FTP video yesterday because some of my friends started a poker pad and they play lower stakes and I thought they'd like to see it/LP would like to see it as well but it ended up messing up but I might make another one soon and post it. touching a tit for you [spoiler][IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/2cdfeh.jpg[/IMG][/spoiler] peace & love
