Hi, okay
so basically I'm 19 years old, and I've smoked pot daily since I was 13. My life revolves around it. I often smoke a bowl before I'm even out of bed in the morning, and generally keep my buzz going by smoking more and more on an hourly basis throughout the day. I smoke weed at work, when I was in school, I blazed all day at school too. I got kicked out of my parents house as a result. A lot of my money and energy goes to staying high. I recognize that it isn't a sustainable way to live and I want to stop. But when I'm not maintaining a high, I default to liquor, or whatever drug is available at the time. It's almost like the only place I can get pleasure or contentment is from getting that light, dizzy feeling in my head. I don't want to go to a therapist - I have dysthymia, a borderline personality, ADD, social anxiety, and a whole host of other issues I've been clinically diagnosed with but refuse to take medicine for. As far as I'm concerned, this is the hand that God dealt me with and I believe in coping with it without drugs. I think there's a huge difference between solving a problem, and just eliminating it. So basically smoking weed has been my means of self-medicating and I've been hugely dependant on it for 6 years. I feel like I'm going to be depressed and suicidal if I stop. But I don't wanna be that person that self-medicates either. I would like to stop but willpower has never been one of my strong points and it's HIGHLY available to me.. I won't go into the details because I'd rather not implicate anyone, but there are people in my life who make a living off of pot and they definately aren't going anywhere. Nor do I want these people out of my life, they are very dear loved ones and that just isn't an option. Soo with all this in mind, does anyone have any ideas on how I might stop? Especially I would appreciate comments from people who used to blaze a lot and stopped themselves. Anyways thanks in advance, hope I get something useful (link)

First you must realize that you already are self-medicating by trying to treat yourself with marijuana. Second, tell the people in your life what you plan to do and though it may be hard you will have to leave behind the ones that won't support and help your decision, at least for the time being while it is difficult.
You can't just give up weed at the drop of a dime and be successful in most cases although marijuana is NOT PHYSICALLY ADDICTING, so you need to replace it with something. Exercise would be very beneficial and it still causes your brain to release chemicals that make you feel calmer, happier, etc. the way drugs do.

Okay, so I'm desperate for someone's opinion right now. I recently, on July 12, had sexual contact with someone who I really shouldn't have. If I were to get pregnant, the world might explode and my partner and I would be exiled from our families.
So, here's what happened: we did everything, except we did not have sex. However, there was a point where he was on top of me and (I was wearing yoga pants and underwear,) but he pushed himself right into my vagina. I mean, he didn't go inside me, but he was pretty close to it. He might have a little bit, but not much at all. He was attempting to grind into me since we couldn't actually have sex. (He had no condom with him.) And when this happened, it freaked me out a little, so after like thirty seconds or so, I changed positions with him so that he was not doing that. To be honest, I didn't think much of it at all, until now, July 23. About two nights ago, I got a major head ache and some side cramps. The next day, today, I had intense side pains and just a little bit of a head ache when I woke up in the morning. My back hurt really bad, so I took an Aleve. It seemed to somewhat work. Later tonight, I had very minor side pains and lower abdomenal cramps. However, about two or three hours ago, I noticed my body temperature felt hot, but I was cold. I took my temp and got a response of 100. So I definitely had a fever. I haven't taken anything for it. I typed my symptoms into google and got "early pregnancy symptoms." So, of course, I began freaking out and remembered that night where I had sexual contact.
Basically, what I am asking is, do you think I am pregnant. Remember, I was wearing yoga pants.
Should I buy a pregnancy test, or am I freaking out for nothing. Please, please help me. Because if I am pregnant, some serious shit could go down and everyone's lives will be fucked up.
I'm sorry if I sound stupid. I just need someone to calm me down. Just don't lie to me. I'm hoping I am just catching a virus or something.
Thank you in advance! (link)

You're almost DEFINITELY just scaring yourself but don't sweat it, it happens to everyone when they're at 'that age.' The cramps and headache can be from the stress of worrying.
Chances that you got pregnant from even the most passionate dry humping are slim to none, emphasis on the 'none.' This could be a sign for you, though.
From your question I understand if he'd had a condom you might have had sex? There is a much larger chance of getting pregnant when using a condom than there is of simple dry humping. From the way you described things, this is not a chance you need to take.
An additional word of advice: never make important decisions while sexually aroused. Chemicals in your brain released during stimulation impair your judgement in exactly the same way many drugs do. So don't do it.
