Part Two
Carrying on from part one on how to treat anxiety disorder.
Assuming what others think – I read once about a very beautiful way of interpreting ‘assume’ – this word ca be broken into ‘ass’, ‘u’ and ‘me’. In other words every time you assume something, you make an ass of you and me.
This is a nice way of warning you of the danger that assumptions can create. You would often look around you and think, ‘They must be thinking I am looking gross’ or ‘I know she hates me on sight’, or ‘He is thinking I am total useless’ and so on. Do not assume such things because when you do so, you inadvertently emulate the image you have created this way. When you enter this trap, you would find that you are spiralling into low self-esteem, decreased confidence and anxiety disorder symptoms.
But keep in mind while reading this article, that to treat anxiety disorder; you start by challenging these negative thoughts. I just thought I’d pop this in to remind you that you can beat these self-defeating thoughts.
But you have to be aware of them before you can start to challenge them.
Generalizing negative traits – you have always been told to think positively. This is because it influences the way you think and then the way you act. It is possible that you would make mistakes sometimes; these mistakes could be minor or major. It happens. Learn from the lesson and move on. Do not entertain thoughts of generalization.
This is a terrible negative thoughts trap. Things like ‘I always mess things up’, ‘What ever I touch turns to dust’, ‘and nothing I do will ever come out perfect’ and things like that. When you do so, you are berating yourself and inviting anxiety to take over. Do not generalize when you make a mistake.
Self-labelling – sometimes things do go your way. In fact, life is full of times when you walk uphill, when things are rough and outcome looks bleak. It is okay.
Good times would come, too. Life is a cycle; sometimes you are up and sometimes you are down. The key to happiness is to adapt and keep looking ahead. At such times, you would find thoughts like ‘I am totally worthless’, ‘I am a loser’, ‘I am bad luck personified’, and so on. The moment you apply such a label to yourself, your subconscious would adjust your self-image to it and then you would be going down and down until you experience a full-blown anxiety attack.
Blowing up realty – there are times when problems seem larger than life. Normally, at such times you should roll up your sleeves and tackle the problem head-on. However, at such times your mind would be tempted to enter negative thoughts traps such as ‘This is going to ruin me financially’, ‘I am going to die of a heart-attack’, ‘My life is over with this chapter’ and things like that. If such thoughts are not checked immediately, they would create a sense of helplessness and vulnerability that would tend to blow up small problems into gigantic obstacles. The result would be a massive anxiety attack.

Hi AJ,
Many do report that using MJ decreases anxiety, which leads to continued “self-medication” and thus chronic use for relaxation and coping with stress. But anxiety is also caused by MJ use, often when taken in high doses or during withdrawal periods. Long term MJ is associated with increased anxiety disorders, and vice versa.
Since there are other proven (and less harmful) methods to treat anxiety, it may be prudent to consider them instead of using MJ solely to reduce anxiety.
I've included a link to a journal article that reviews the evidence of cannabis and anxiety.

Leah says (and for once I don't disagree with her — just joking Leah!), “The solution is to treat the anxiety. It can be done.”
Of course it can be done, but will it? I don't think so, not while there are so many millions of dollars in play in creating anxiety about every facet of prostate cancer, from PSA testing/screening to the inappropriate tests and scans ordered, to the lack of clear indications of outcomes, to unneccesary adjuvant treatments (or should I say adjuvant treatments that have no demonstrable value … the list goes on. This anxiety drives men like beaters at a pheasant shoot, right into early treatment.
In the midst of all this gloomy outlook there is the faintest glimmer of light. I have personally experienced the change in attitude to what was called, so inappropriately, watchful waiting and which is now commonly referred to as active surveillance.
Thirteen years ago it was clear that the general view was that only fools and lunatics would consider such a step. The lunacy element has been removed now and men who follow this path, and the doctors who support that decisio,n are merely regarded as foolish. Perhaps as more time goes by and more studies are published, even that appellation might be removed.
