i've attemped this "whatever" attitude in order to battle anxiety, and it's only barely helped me. although i think it's helped more than i know, but extremely slowly and subtly, so that i can hardly tell. i'm constantly plagued with the obsession about having wasted my life and time, and while i realize that it shouldn't be such a huge deal, i can't really stop it.
sounds like we're wonder twins. i completely obsess over time and the feeling that i don't have enough and am wasting it all. when i think about it too much i get all jacked up like i took some meth and start running around hyper-ventilating and stuff.
in fact, most nights i can't sleep cos i keep looking at the clock and calculating exactly how much time i have left to sleep, etc. i even tried moving the clock across the room but then i'd just get up to look at it!
the funniest part (or saddest) is that i always say that if you have a problem, just stop it. it's as simple as that- just don't do it anymore! sooo much easier said than done.
One of my friends started meditating a couple of years ago. He's one of these guys who is very much all-or-nothing. If he's partying, for example, it means he's staying up until the next morning, having a fry-up and then drinking all day. When he got his first tattoo, it was a big dinner-plate-sized fiery sun which he had plastered across his stomach (then, when he got his second this summer, it was a giant, stylised set of bird wings on either side of a somewhat-Celtic circular seal ... it actually reminds me of some kind of Nazi flag

i've been trying to get my little brother into some good music lately but he staunchly refuses anything that's not gabber-style techno (only it's cheesier!). i find it so funny that he's listening to the sort of stuff i did back in early high school. though for that reason i'm hoping he comes 'round soon- i mean, i did!

Although she has no problem whatsoever bitching about my choice of music!
Sorry. Had to add that!
