Hello all. I wanted to thank you for your kind words over the last few months. Really did not expect to have this may people on my web site. I’m extremely happy to see individuals taking action towards a balanced mind-set.

I wish that there was not such thing as anxiety and panic attacks. Every time I read a comment from a visitor to Saneadvice who is suffering from anxiety it saddens me. Then I’m at least glad they are researching anxiety, and they are on their way to taking action. I pray that the summer of 2008 will be a summer to remember as the summer you began the “lighting up” process.

I’ve noticed a common thread in all of our stories. By and large, we all seem to have self-medicated at one time in our lives, and some of us are still self medicating. Some use alcohol and some use marijuana for example (I’ve used both in the past).

We can’t beat ourselves up over this though. I know that some of us who suffer from anxiety beat ourselves about using drugs and alcohol for help. Of course, we all want to get rid of any addictions we may have, but you have to treat yourself with compassion at all times. We must forgive ourselves for our humanity. Don’t frighten yourself by saying, “THAT’S IT I QUIT”. Take it slow and easy and gently ween yourself off what ever medications you need.

For serious drugs we need to get help, and we need to get help as soon as possible, but for marijuana, alcohol, tobacco, anti-depressants (for sure), etc…..please be kind and gentle with yourself, and slowly ween yourself off. You can do this, and try to do this when you have sorted out most of your stress factors. If you can’t do it yourself, why not look into getting some help. There are many places to find help. Whatever you do, don’t feel “bad”, or think that you are “weak” because you can’t do it yourself.

You are a true beating heart of love and absolute god realization. You are a magical and exceptional person, and don’t forget that those around you are as well. Extend your quiet internal blessing to all that cross your path. If you think thoughts of negativity towards others, DON’T feel bad about yourself, you are just human, and deep down inside you come from pure love energy.

Just keep telling yourself that you want to feel good, and you will ever so slowly start to do exactly that.

Love Jacob
