SELF DEFEATING STYLES OF ANGER – PART I
by The “Stress Doc”
Mark Gorkin, LICSW
What’s your first thought when you read the word “anger”? Frustration? Yelling? Violence? Avoidance? Out of Control? These are typical audience responses. Why so many negative associations? Try this question: Did you grow up in a family where it felt safe and secure expressing your angry feelings? How about when you were the target of other family members’ anger? Does “safe and secure” come to mind or, more likely, feelings of fear, shame and “Oh, shit!”? (If “deep doodoo” comes to mind, I’m sorry, it wasn’t that rough.)

Answer by sonofEatonWrite
The reason that you lose weight on cocaine or meth or any type of speed is simple. It gives your body energy, so it wants food less. The problem is that the energy is empty. Therefore what the body will do is deteriorate its own muscle before it’s own fat. Did that help?
Answer by A-H/EPH
Cocaine works by modulating the levels of serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain, much like amphetamines (although DO NOT confuse cocaine as an amphetamine), one of the side effects being suppression of the appetite. When a cocaine user uses the drug regularly, or goes onto a “binge”, he or she may not eat for some time, resulting in reduced caloric intake, and hence weight loss. This is the only mechanism of cocaine’s weight-loss effects.
