Please do not send this to that relative with anxiety issues thinking that this will help them. It will absolutely not help them.

Pimp my Brain: I hear you like anxiety, so put some anxiety in your anxiety.

Well this is fucking swell.

Well good morning to me. So to go along with the PTSD, the depression, anxiety, spinal fuck ups and, as of yesterday, the chance I may have cancer, I got this going for me. It’s only Wednesday right? Right? Got to keep pushing on. It’s Hell sometimes but I continue to push on.

I ain't gonna let it get that far. My wife worked in a nursing home with a lot of dementia patients. I'd rather be dead. I'm gonna shuffle off this mortal coil before it gets too late.

This is a bit of a silver lining, though:

Anxiety that resolved within the first five years was so unassociated with greater risk that the odds were similar to those without anxiety — a finding that Dr. Glen R. Finney, an American Academy of Neurology fellow, called “a welcome addition to our knowledge about anxiety and dementia.” Finney, director of the Geisinger Memory and Cognition Program in Pennsylvania, wasn’t involved in the study. The results were also largely driven by participants under 70. ”We have known for a long time that stress increases risk for Alzheimer’s disease,” said Dr. Rudolph Tanzi, director of the McCance Center for Brain Health at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, who wasn’t involved in the study, via email. “This study agrees with earlier studies that therapy aimed at alleviating anxiety can help reduce risk for (Alzheimer’s disease). But, it’s the size of this study that is particularly compelling.”

that's interesting, they've been linking dementia to anxiety medication for a long time. how did they control for that?

ugh
