Hello again,

Thank you both for your fantastic responses. Thanks Gus for the tips with navigating the website, you're right I've only been on here for about 24 hours, so I'm still feeling my way around it, but its a terrific site with fantastic people like you. Those stress techniques are great, I've always been slightly highly strung, and do always tend to over-think and inflate fairly rudimentary things into very large seemingly unmanageable things in my mind, so this is great general advice for me.

Neptune, thanks very much for reflecting my feelings, a great help since thinking about all this sort of stuff can make you feel very alone and it can be sincerely overwhelming. I have been seeing a councilor for a few weeks now and she's great, and I've also been to see a psychiatrist yesterday who's prescribed me some things, but even though I haven't used cannabis since February, I have been hearing that it can take some time for it to completely leave your system and to release its influences on your mind, so I'm just hoping that it does.

Thanks again guys, I hope everything's going well for you in your own personal lives, and thanks for being so friendly and welcoming
