Happy Monday fellas. I'm gonna be pretty grumpy tomorrow morning because:

- Tonight's TO-DO list is writing unit tests and getting past a blocker to my project which I have been avoiding. Unit tests cause depression.
- After a recent bout of depression, I started smoking more weed than I was comfortable with and tonight starts my temporary sobriety. Withdrawal from THC causes more depression.

Wish me some God damned luck bros.

I keep trying to convince people of amphetamine above weed, especially for a programmer but I get ignored. Did you know it doesn't make fall out your teeth at all and it was all propoganda? Source: vice. Also, consider ADHD people taking that stuff daily. It's not as bad as they teached us and slowly we're figuring that out.

@whimsical any drug can have bad effects when abused, some are more dangerous than others. That's why amphetamines get their bad rap.

Most recreational drugs today are misunderstood due to stigma. It's a tragedy, but the times will change and are slowly.

Due to my anxiety, I avoid uppers and instead prefer downers.

@AlgoRythm I never understood what anxious / anxanity exactly is. I checked a few times definition but just don't understand.

@whimsical Understandable, anxiety manifests itself in many different ways. At it's base, it's an uneasy feeling.

Different types of anxiety influence the symptoms. How uneasy do you feel? On a range from are you uncomfortable, or do you literally believe you are going to die?

Physical symptoms for me are like when you realize you messed up really bad - sweating, inability to sit still or sit at all, overwhelming sense that something terrible has or will happened.

People with anxiety also have their OWN symptoms on a spectrum. My general day-to-day anxiety is not as severe as I have described.
