I made a huge mistake of getting very drunk and I ended up in someone's house, and I took quite a lot of cocaine, about 5-7 small lines and I'd never done it beforehand. I regret it more than anything right now and I'm never going to do it again, it's been 3 days since I took it and I do feel better but I'm still not eating properly, I'm slightly anxious and I feel generally run down and unwell. A day after I took it, i was extremely depressed and shaky along with all of these symptoms but they have worn off now. I understand that I made a huge mistake and I just want to know when this consequence is going to end.

I'm trying to write a song haha, and I just need that sentence with the same meaning but shortened into 3 words.. is it possible?

I'm a guy, so yeah, embarrassing. When I say "scared," i'm talking about panic of the thought of one being near me, or in my house somewhere. I can't look at pictures of spiders at all otherwise I'll end up standing in the middle of my room examining all the walls and everything. If I see a spider, then I end up staying up all night looking all around. I understand I have arachnophobia but It's extremely intense and It's having a really bad effect on my life right now because it's spider season.. What the hell do i do? One of my close friends brought a spider in a glass near me once. I didn't speak to them for a long, long time after that day. I don't ever remember in my life having a bad experience with them. I've hated them since I can remember. I do understand that they're completely harmless but it bothers me just as much.

I'm planning on quitting, but i'm just scared.. I've tried before and people have been telling me "you will crave for the rest of your life" so it's just not gotten me anywhere. So, are things better?

If you can remember of course xD

Is this normal? I'm not really having many cravings.

I'm on my third day of quitting smoking and a few of my friends want me to go and see them, and they smoke a lot in their house although they've all promised me they wont give me anymore cigarettes but i'm scared of being in there for hours because i've only just recently quit?

I'm 17 years old and I'm a bad anxiety sufferer. I've felt my pulse and it feels like my heart isn't beating correctly. I feel like it's beating slowly and suddenly it's beating a tiny bit faster and I really don't know whether I should be concerned or not. I had an EKG about 5 months back and they told me I was fine and I believed them but is it possible that things can change in 5 months? I'm really anxious and panicking right now.

I used to have really bad anxiety, I used to get lots of panic attacks but they stopped for a while. I decided to quit smoking a few days ago now i'm on my 3rd day and i'm not giving in, but my anxiety has gotten worse. I was sitting down looking at my computer screen and i suddenly got the slightest bit dizzy for a few minutes or so, then my left arm started slightly hurting, like an aching pain, but not shooting, and suddenly I started getting really really scared. It's been a while since i've been this anxious. I wanna know that it's the nicotine withdrawal that's making me feel like this. I really don't know whether i should go the docs or not. I'm only 17 also.

I'm planning on quitting smoking.. today actually. I've told all of my friends not to give me anymore cigarettes or go to the shop for me since i'm 17, and it took some courage to tell them but I did and they're all helping me.

I was just wondering, I hear that a lot of people get cravings even years after smoking, depending on how long you've been doing it for. I've been smoking since october 2010, so nearly 2 years. I just really want to be rid of his habit, I hate it so much.

Yeah, i do suffer from bad anxiety. I had a test a few months ago and they said everything was normal, but i'm really scared right now. I'm short of breath and i'm panicking. The doctors couldnt've been wrong, right?

I'm nearly 17 now, and I started smoking cannabis heavily when i was 15, up until about a month and a half ago or something.. It got to a point where every day i got so scared about death.. and silly things like nuclear bombs dropping nearby. I was angrier too, I was much more confident to speak out when something had pissed me off, but never said anything in the right way. I got so paranoid about my health and thought i was gonna end up dead and being trapped in a place where i can't escape. So when it got to that point, i walked away from the friends that encouraged me to smoke weed.. they don't speak to me anymore now. I'm trying to concentrate on things that i'm supposed to be doing. I'm taking St johns wort to try and calm me down a bit and it has definitely had some effect.. but everyday i still have negative thoughts in my head. I've got bad sleep disturbance problems, i've ended up going to the hospital so much because of health scares but i'm being told constantly that it's my anxiety, yet i still worry? It's been around a month and a half since i was smoking weed, but i still find myself anxious, and i used to be so positive when i was younger, but i understand that i've kinda messed that up now.. will this anxiety ever go away? am i gonna be stuck with it forever?

Yeah, one of my good friends' cats is having kittens in about 4-5 weeks and i'm going to have one of them, but i've never actually taken care of a kitten by myself, so i want to make sure that i give it a perfectly healthy and good life.

I've got a job and decent money, and i live with my brother so when i'm working, he could obviously help me out.

So, when will the kitten be comfortable with being taken away from their mother? I feel bad because most of the other kittens are staying in another house, so would the separation between the brothers and sisters have an affect on it's personality? Is it hard introducing the kittens to actual kitten food? The last thing i'm worrying about is vaccinations.. so what vaccinations will my cat need, and how long after birth will it need them?

Right, i absolutely LOVE portishead.. but i find that when i listen to them too much, i end up being in this very "dark" state of mind and it's not good.. I get paranoid and all the bad sides of me come out, the whole day just seems dull and i feel like i'm going mental?! (I don't do drugs or anything btw) - Has anybody else felt like this from listening to too much Portishead?

I've just done these exercises, for about half an hour, shall i rest my voice now and sing later, or will it be okay to sing straight away?

My favourite band is Evanescence, and my favourite singer is Amy Lee, and i'm really inspired by her.. is that really strange? am i supposed to be looking up to male musicians?

ive heard on the news and it's kinda worrying me, any help?

this actually happened really fast, i came home and when i began to swallow, i felt phlegm running down my throat, then one side of my throat started to hurt, then i began to feel cold although my skin was boiling, then i wrapped myself up and then i actually felt boiling and it kept changing. Very slight head pains, fairly achy, slight running nose, i also felt like my eyes were burning too, but i then took paracetamol and most of the symptoms had almost completely eased. Should i be worried about this?

It started off as quite a dark dream.. nothing was scary exactly, but everything looked like it was going to turn into a nightmare anyway.

I wasn't even thinking negatively in the dream, but out of nowhere, I heard a mans voice scream so loud in my head and it was the most horrible scream and most shocking thing that's happened to me in a dream since i was little. I panicked in my sleep, and my partner woke me up because i was panicking in real life too.

I don't understand how it just came out of the blue like that? I haven't had a nightmare for years. None that i can remember anyway.

I understand when some people say "the damage is done" but i've only been smoking properly for about a year and a half now, and i'm 16 years old.
