I've done cocaine hundreds of times, never once had an anxiety attack...
Weed, tried it again yesterday and again another anxiety attack....
This is the biggest BS shory I've ever heard. Who do you work for? And even if it were true, these weak minded anxiety attacks you keep having would have nothing to do with your being in an altered state of my mind from being high on marijuana and having a mild anxiety attack one time in your life two f@#$^&* months ago, or however long ago it was when you got high on marijuana, as you claim. put the f@#$^&* video game remote control down and go read a science book. boy.
Trojan, I suggest you started offering some useful advice instead of criticizing and tripping that all people are here to promote something (your constant "who do you work for" question smells like paranoia.)
this summer i tried smokign weed...while i was high i felt as if i were going to die and i was in a panic for hours. 2 months later i was doing homework when all of a sudden i had an insane panic attack while i felt the same feelign of when i was high...the panic attack never entirly went away and i now live in fear of my own mind. i dont know wat to do i have gotten check ups but i am seeking serious medical help now. I am extremely scared and just talking about it brings on the feeling i feel hopeless soemtimes depressed liek u say and other times it can go away. i dont know wat to do
please give it a try and post your experience, it has helped me tremendously. i recommend meditating daily, do some research on meditation i suggest 2 types, 1. is where you concentrate on a single point like a candle or the point where you feel the breath entering your nose. 2. you do not try and control or judge any of your experience, just BE and let yourself go deeper you will notice you will get caught up in trains of thought but just let them go like they are water running in front of your consciousness. a gentle stream perhaps. after even a few sessions you should feel a sense of forgiveness and love for yourself and for every-thing.
I went to bed that night but worried and checked my heart rate paranoidly the next two days rampantly. I thought that if I put everything in the past and moved on, I could feel better. But still, now, 10 days since my incident, I PHYSICALLY CANNOT TAKE A DEEP BREATH. This was a symptom I faced to a much lesser degree when I was 8 years old and dealing with worries and anxiety.
Even though what happened to me and the stress of my parents fighting and girls BS and college of course is SUBCONSCIOUS for the most part now, I still can't take a deep breath.
It doesn't really worry me, because I know my heart and lungs are healthy, it just frustrates the sh*t outta me and drains me emotionally on a daily basis now.
I can't tell you all how much I appreciate any support...anything nice you have to offer would really brighten how I've been feeling.
I think these kinda things just take time, so g0d willing, I will be able to fully breath again within hopefully a week or so (maybe after some psychology or yoga r something)
Thanks all so much.
Your brain is smarter than you think it is. Some people can handle pot, others cant.
What you experience was a drug induced MANIC EPISODE combined with a DRUG INDUCED PANIC ATTACK.
All caused by marijuana.
At this time, do not try and continue smoking marijuana.
Stay off it for a long time. Maybe forever.
Dont try and force it to go away,
Your body will remember this experience for a long time, and primarily when you are stoned this will return for a long time.
This is obviously a case by case thing, and some people can get over these experiences relatively quickly.
However,
The marijuana IS the cause of this awful episode you had,
so avoid it. It's not bad, its just not for everyone. I've actually read that people are throwing a theory out there now that some brains are allergic to THC (the drug in pot) and that causes adverse reactions, rather than a predisposition for mental illnesses.
Regardless,
Be strong. And yes you will be ok.
As a recoverer of a chronic case of everything you and others have described (it took me years to get over I can tell you the power of positive thinking can help. even when you can't think straight, if you can still think and acknowledge and understand and reason ; You are still here and you will be fine. You are not crazy. Deep breaths, Sleep, Normal activities, Good food, Excercise, Family or Friend visits >> just avoid the weed. Tim
hello everyone...
ive had a similar experience that i would like to share with yall so here it goes...
im 24 years old(male) i started smoking weed 5 years ago and since day 1 i love it....i became a chronic user with no time i used to smoke all day wake up with a joint in my mouth and go to bed with a joint in my mouth...i totally smoked on average 2 to 3 grams a day.Everything was fine i finished my degree had no problem was living peacefully.about 10 month ago i applied for a job and got it and the company told me im starting in a month.After the interview went back home smoked 2 joints went to bed like everyday for the last 5 years. the next day i woke up feeling the worst feeling ive ever felt.i felt something is wrong with me i had difficulty breathing,heart was pounding fast couldnt eat so i siad its probably cause i ddnt smoke yet so i light a joint and those feeling increased heavilly thats when i decided to quit smoking weed.i went to a doctor he put me on cypralex(its a SSRI) and xanax to treat anxiety and depression becuz he concluded that i was in a depression phase.after 8 month of treatment im fealing much better thank GOD but still i have these feelings of not being me and feeling very weird with my self and sometime feeling like am going crazy...i smoked once in these 8 months just to c if i will be able to relax but i ddt enjoy it i ddnt even get high i was a bit paranoid and felt more weird.has anyone had sudden anxiety or whatever it is called triggered that quickly??anyone with similar experience?does any one know if im taking the right treatment??i mean i used to love weed nd i still do cuz it made me relax and it made me very peacfull inside outside but i dont smoke it anymore cuz i get paranoid and scared.
