| Has anyone found that following one of these diets can help them with anxiety and other issues? When I was first diagnosed with AS aged about 7 or 8 (1997) my parents were advised to put me on a gluten and dairy free diet, which I followed for several years. Apparently this did help to control some ... |

| ^That sounds weird, and was this just cannabis you where smoking? I mean I have smoked enough to get some slightly trippy sort of effects but certainly nothing like that. Sounds like disassociation of some kind, if cannabis did that to me I do not think I'd smoke it as I do not enjoy feeling totall... |

| I did always want to try psychedelics until I smoked waaaaay too much once and spent a few hours convinced I was amongst a team of scientists watching a film of what was really happening in my life, complete with narration by this cool sounding woman. Not sure if what I experienced was close to ego ... |

| I usually only smoke with my boyfriend now as when I smoke up with other people I can get really self aware, which increases my social anxiety and makes me uncomfortable. Being uncomfortable while high is not good because then I get panic attacks and all sorts, which is why even when I do smoke it's... |

| I smoke anywhere between 4 and 20 cigarettes per day so there's no real routine in there. When I'm by myself I do find that I will have a cigarette about once every hour. I don't feel the cravings but I look at the time and think "It's been about an hour since my last smoke, I'll have another". When... |

| I've seen psychiatrists and doctors about this already and none of them seem to have any ideas, so maybe someone somewhere on the internet can give me a hand. The most frustrating part is describing precisely what it is I am feeling, as there are no words.. I'll have a go though, maybe someone can r... |

All my friends seemed to consistently enjoy smoking weed and rarely ever got negative or paranoid feelings. With me it happened every time. I did like the experience of getting high but it... |

They wanted me to watch Sex and the City with them and go out to clubs at first. I started avoiding them completely because co... |

| Wow, I really didn't know this. I'm 23 and I always get asked for ID (in Britain the legal drinking age is 18). That's not so bad, only whenever I show my ID they always think I'm lying. I've been kicked out of Tesco once because the guy was certain I had false ID. Most people think my 19 year old s... |

| Since I was told I had Asperger's Syndrome (I was too young to remember the initial diagnosis and my mum only told me when I was about 14) I've been telling myself that I'm no different to anyone else. It's just a personality quirk. I can deal with it. I brushed aside the fact that, up until then, l... |

I think comorbid conditions like depression and sociopathic disorders are far more likely to account for their actions. I don't believ... |

I read some stuff about solar flares, and how we were in a particularly quiet minimum which could lead up to a powerful maximum in 2012. I also read Sitchin's 12th Plane... |
