Anxiety can't suck your dick, but someone might for your spare meds. Unless you get the boring ones.

Skywalker OG posted:A word, much less one that isn't a noun but one that attempts to describe a mental state, cannot physically suck your dick. The word 'anxiety' is very much a noun. I mean it doesn't describe a physical object but it's still a thing. It's not like it's a verb or an adjective or an adverb or anything. Literally The Worst posted:I don't like you anywhere.

If my anxiety only made me worry about things that weren't dumb, it would actually be somewhat useful.

My biggest problem with anxiety -- much of it being social anxiety, which is great when public relations is a huge part of your job -- is that because I'm a recovering alcoholic, no psychiatrist will ever prescribe me a benzodiazepine (and rightfully so, I wouldn't trust any doctor who would even think of it). So I have to force myself to do a lot of meditation, breathing exercises, leaving my office and walking around the hotel, stuff like that. I swear, though, some days I feel like shouting "my kingdom for a Xanax."

Man, I was so afraid that VHS Viral was gonna suck rear end after the lovely glitchy framing story and the absolute dogshit first segment, but then the Hail Satan blimp and Dickeye: the movie happened and it saved itself from being extraordinarily awful. Still not all that great but it's totally worth checking out for a blind watch with friends.

Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:Serious question: what is the connection between benzodiazepine and alcoholism? Many alcoholics/former alcoholics abused alcohol to essentially self-treat their anxiety, so the fear is that you're giving them a different drug that will similarly treat anxiety, and consequently is just as likely to be abused. If A and B serve the same purpose to you and you used to be addicted to A, best to avoid B. edit: I was just using A and B as variables but I guess it also works as Alcohol and Benzodiazepines, so however you want to interpret it.

Skwirl posted:Benzo's can be addictive, doctors don't like giving addictive substances to addicts. Basically this. Benzos and alcohol are cross-tolerant substances, and hit the brain's reward system in essentially the exact same way (this is why benzos like Ativan are used to help get people through severe alcohol withdrawal). With a recovering addict, benzos have a strong likelihood of becoming abused themselves or triggering a relapse when the use of the medication is tapered down.

Yeah part two is a lot like the Indonesian cult segment from 2 where it has a lot of great buildup before going completely loving gonzo in the back third in the best way, and the third part has a lot of the "dumb teens doing dumb teen poo poo" humanity of SPAA that made it hilariously satisfying. It's just that the first segment puts forth none of the effort required to actually sell its concept like the other two do and the framing story goes nowhere, ends with a wet fart and relies on audiovisual glitching to a level that even I, a dude who managed to watch all 50-odd episodes of Marble Hornets, found distractingly excessive.

I don't like Bonestorm as much as most. I agree that the Gif is perfect and it has alot of good but I still just think it goes on a little long. I know people disagree but it's hard for me to argue with the fact that I just started getting bored with it. V/H/S/3 wasn't as bad as I was fearing but it was still a pretty weak film overall. I still think I'll take the weakest segment in the first two over the best thing in 3. It doesn't help that the framing segment is just pure garbage on every level. Like no aspect of it is good from the techniques they steal from Cloverfield but do really badly to the Mexican stereotypes that make me think they haven't even watched an episode of Breaking Bad no less never met a Mexican. axelblaze fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Mar 16, 2015 |

I used to take a lot of benzos (recreationally) in high school. Guess that explains some of my problems as an adult.

I took a couple Klonopins once, smoked a bowl, and the next thing I knew I was on my couch back home, mysteriously away from my friend's place. I asked him what happened later on, and apparently I just laid there with my eyes open for hours straight and occasionally said how high I was, and when one of my friends walked me home at like 4am I could barely walk and just kind of flopped on to my couch and said "sleep now, go away." That's my benzodiazepine story

Da Joose was a legal benzo that a bunch of goons took, and at least 4 crashed their cars and one died from it, so I've learned to not gently caress with benzos.
