Wonderful.
The neat thing about anxiety is there's always going to be something new to worry about
This is giving me anxiety.
That helps with my Anxiety!
Fuck. Now I can't remember what I'm so anxious about.
Well guess I'm fucked in yet another way
Statistics being what they are, 3 times more sounds like a lot than it is because your baseline chance (not accounting for genetica) to get Alzheimer's is like 1.6%.
So you can triple that and still be sittin pretty at less than 5%. Alzheimer's seems to be related in part to diet, smoking, and exercise too, so you can mitigate your chance (or pump those numbers in my case lol).
So relax my fellow anxiety sufferers! Something completely different will kill you
I guess I'll have to drink more alcohol.
My GF has pretty bad anxiety problems. I thought about sending this link to her but it'd probably just make her anxious.
Ooo, fantastic! Can't wait to get old!
