It depends on the person. It definitely helps with a lot of people. I have several friends who use weed to mellow out and de-stress. Other people it can actually freak them out though. Also you can get a bad batch just like anything else, especially if you get it from someone shady who might...

It can be important to try to understand why people act the way they do, but at the same time it doesn't give them carte blanche to take it out on you. Their behavior may be influenced by problems in their own life, but you're not obligated to put up with it. I saw a quote once that said...

Yea a stranger just trying to "claim" you as his girlfriend is definitely presumptuous and kind of creepy. Some people have no sense of boundaries or how to appropriately show interest in someone. I get a freeze or flight instinct when someone tries flirting with me. I literally don't know...

I drink way too much soda. I get cravings if I go too long. I try to balance it out with milk, but I probably don't do a very good job. I've gone a few days without soda here and there, but then it comes back with a vengeance. I also really don't like the taste of Diet Coke.

It's not an excuse, but it can bring someone's action into a measure of understanding if they are wrestling with mental or emotional issues. I can get very irritable and snappy with people. My parents, my roommate, and my ex-boyfriend all dealt with their fair share of my attitude problems in...

I forgive easily and sometimes am overly passive and put up with too much if the person is close to me. I generally don't hold grudges and am the kind of person who can get in a heated argument and then be chill five minutes later. But if I feel like you really screwed me over somehow, I can...

When people try to hit on me, I'm either oblivious, or else it scares me and I run away, basically. I find it very intimidating and kind of overwhelming. Plus I have social anxiety and am socially awkward in general, so I'm not very good at the whole flirting "scene". I kind of freeze up and...

Plenty of actors have anxiety problems. Ego has nothing to do with having anxiety. Off the top of my head, I know Chris Evans (Captain America) used to struggle a lot with anxiety and could barely stand to do interviews until he worked a lot with a therapist to get it under control.

I have fear of cancer. I've made myself paranoid at various points in the past that I had testicular cancer, skin cancer, and mouth cancer. Stressed myself out incredibly about it for like two weeks and basically had myself convinced I was going to die and went into a depression. Not fun, but...

I avoid "Immortal" by Evanescence because it really drags me down. On the other hand, I also have songs that lift me up though (or at least drown out the existential crisis, ha). Music can really influence mood one way or another though, so be careful what you're listening to, especially if...

If you listen to depressing songs or those with lyrics or subject matter that emotionally trigger you somehow, it could contribute to your downward spiral. I don't think just listening to a song is going to get you there on its own, but if you're already depressed, it can deepen and darken your...

I'm pretty sure I have bipolar disorder, because sometimes my moods can whiplash from depressed to excited with nothing really happening in between to trigger them. I've never been officially diagnosed though, and I know self-diagnosis can be a slippery slope.

I go for walks, even in the middle of the night sometimes. I'm an impulse pacer and can't sit still for long. I think I'm also a bit ADD.

I get irritable very easily. Sometimes I feel a lot of bottled-up anger, and sometimes it flares up irrationally, especially when I'm alone. Actually having outbursts at other people is rare though, I'm very passive-aggressive as far as that goes.

Tooth pain is absolutely as bad as what you described. Before I got my root canal years ago, my tooth broke (it had a cavity), and the nerve was exposed. I wanted to take a pick axe to that whole side of my jaw.

A DUI or even worse, be responsible for your own injury/death and/or someone else's. I've never driven under the influence, but I know people who have.

I lose all my social anxiety after a few drinks, but I think I'm so tightly bottled most of the time that I get over-the-top and turn into a stupid drunk. Not like, destructive or anything, just dumb. I think one of my cousins is an alcoholic. He hits the bar pretty much every night...

I just had to go to the dentist yesterday. I had a root canal and crown put on years ago, but it's been an on-off continuing problem since then, and now I've got to get the base built up more and a new crown. The dentist's office doesn't squick me out as much as a hospital, but it's got that...

I have a lot of trouble shutting my brain off, and being hypersensitive to noises and having a roommate who likes to rummage around at 2 in the morning and play TV all night doesn't help. Then I wake up when his morning alarms go off at 8.

I have a lot of nights where I deliberately stay up until I'm about to pass out because it's the only way I can tire my mind out enough to fall asleep. And then sometimes I'll wake up at six or seven in the morning. Years ago, if I didn't have anywhere to be, I would sleep in until 11 in the...
