Ok first I was smoking in my room but I've done that before and this time I felt alittle nervous so I went ahead and starting smoking and then I starting little I was going to have a panic attack but this just went on for an hour or 2 and so I tryed to drink two beers to help but they didn't. And after that bad trip I had anxiety ever seen. Like now I get anxiety bout doing stuff I've never had anxiety about. But I. Don't know if its a combination of the bad trip and withdrawal that's making me feel this it maybe don't know. But I'm getting better so in time I belivie ill be ok. But now I just get like hot flushs like my face gets hot when I'm just layin in bed. And my feet get cold a lot to and I burp a lot to don't know if you had this.
It's totally from quitting bro. I had that happen to me when I started to cut down and then I smoked and it was not fun. So you're totally fine you really have to break through the withdrawl and use the tools they will totally strengthen you in those situations. Now any time I have an anxious feeling it rolls off my back. I mean at times you gotta get a breather or what not but now that I'm totally sober and have gotten through months of being clean I'm totally fine. Again, go back to some of my notes that ive written lately. What the fact is is that smoking masks your emotions so when you stop you experience more emotions that were being masked. It's all good cause everyone goes through stuff sober or not but when you smoke for a long period of time then stop you have to deal with these emotions being sober. You have to deal with it in a different way so it's almost like going through a totally new way of doing things. It's a little hard at first and very frustrating and I even yelled out loud - not in front of people - but just out of frustration. I chipped away at it though and kept a positive mind about it even when after I would beat myself up about it or feel uneasy. You're only going to become stronger when it's all said and done. Yes I burped a lot - very annoying - drink water - eat healthy foods and EXERCISE - get out and take a jog or just a nice walk or a bike ride.The burping will go away and your body will get used to not having it in your system. I don't know about the feet getting cold but then again you may just be focusing on some things that always happen but just try not over thinking things. Really just focus on the tools cause if you think about why am I feeling this and is this bad kind of thoughts it will take away the fact that you're fine and you just need to be relaxing. Autogenic relaxation helped me a few times but I honestly tried a lot of methods to see what worked and what I realized is they all kind of work it's just a matter of accpeting the fact that you know you'll be ok and expressing how you feel to someone or in writing that are huge tension relievers. Take it easy bro and let me know how its goin...im with yea though and I've gone through a lot of what you're going through so trust me it's gonna be all good before you know it.
Best information I've seen yet, 30 minutes of exercise a day is commonly prescribed by doctors whose patients seek alternatives to prescriptions. In a world where anti-depressants are overly prescribed this is the true answer great advice.
Hey did all you guys have bad trips just wondering cuz I see is just mostly y'all talking about after yallve quit. I had a bad trip were it felt like a panic attack that lasted like 2 hours and I was nauseous and felt sick like.
And I've had panic attack on weed before but this seems like this time it was a long after shock or something.And I've quit I'm never smoking again its not werth it. And now I have anxiety, I burp a lot, I've losted weight, sleep is hard sometimes. So has anyone had this I'm just trying to see if anyone has had this.

Hey man yea I've been posting to these guys and someone Judy posted asking the same thing you did. The burping goes away you get better sleep and you calm down from all your anxiety. Read through last few posts gong back 2 pages and you will see long notes pertaining to the tools that helped me when I quit. Hope you stay off the stuff cause reverting back will only prolong the process. Take care and read my notes!
I am suffering from Depersonalization. My perceived world around me feels like a dream and nothing feels real. Also, my sense of happiness isn't there anymore and is depleting from what it used to be. I blame this on HIGH THC strains. I feel that since it isn't natural to produce such high THC levels I am experiencing these symptoms and my high will never be the same. I cannot achieve the same "fun" high that I used to have a year ago.
I need to be sober for more than 2-3 weeks because I haven't had a break more than that in 1.5 years.
At this point I want to quit using cannabis fully and maybe look toward soberness for now and see if I can feel "normal" again like I used to and not in a dream state.
I really enjoyed cannabis for it's ways that it can open your mind and change your sense of reality from this screwed up world, but at the same time, it isn't worth being in this state.
I am quitting cold turkey at this point and going to start exercising/running a lot and trying to eat as healthy as possible and see if I can pull myself out of this, but I don't see myself gravitating back toward cannabis because I know it won't ever affect me the same again.
Personally, I think that if people smoked/vaporized natural outdoor grown cannabis that hadn't been under crazy ass 5000k lights on special cycles then the THC would be a lot lower and wouldn't affect us this way, also it could be the pesticides that go in producing the cannabis as well. I think cannabis is a great tool for self exploration and seeing the spiritual side of things. If you are having these problems too I would take a break and realize MODERATION IS KEY. Yeah smoking once in a while won't do much, but if you do it every day and ever multiple times a day, you can't expect it to not affect you negatively eventually. I guess that we all learn this the hard way.
(For the males) Also, if you are still on the edge about stopping / cutting back, realize that cannabis does lower testosterone levels for 24 hours after you smoke, so you can't build muscle as well. It has been studied numerous times, look it up.
Great post,
I think you're on the right track and honestly being someone who smoked a lot longer than you who is now totally sober it is awesome. It was really hard at first and took me about 2 months to gain personalization and get out of the dreamy state. Trust me though the only way you can get out of the dreamstate is by not smoking. You can't smoke a little bit here or a little bit there. That's not going to help you and only prolong the process of quitting. Do exactly what you said - exercise - work on relaxation techniques and do some projects. I've posted a lot the past few weeks to a few people who are going through rougher patches than you so if you would like to go back and read through a few of them they have some great tools for getting through the hard parts. I hope you get past it all smoothly and I think you have a great attitude against it as well. Let me know how you're doing and I hope the best!

Hey just wanted to say how I'm coming, I had a blackout today but it was
because I hit my elbow I had surgery on with a nail on a table and that's why. I had surgery like 2 years ago so its not recent. So the blackout wasnt form anxiety or panic. Have y'all every blackout it last like 2 minutes were you get black like vision and get cold and sweaty. I only used to get them form smoking but now I get them if I accidentally hurt myself but I haven't had a panic attack in a month so thats good. But I still have anxiety and I can't wait for this to pass I'm going to make my life better. And them about 99% sure I don't have DP or DR I just have anxiety and maybe a ready anxiety attack once a month. I'm so confused
about what happen that day when I had that bad trip panic attack thing
and ever seens that I've had anxiety ever seens. All I know is I can't. Wait tell this passes. Can everbody relate?

So what exactly happened? You said you hit your elbow? Have you been smoking? Was the trip panic attack from smoking or from something else? Explain how you hit your elbow and I can give you a better idea of what I think. I mean if it was directly from the hit on the elbow you blacked out directly due to to the hit so its no more than that. Are you the young guy whose 11?
I hit my elbow on the table when I was trying to pull a part out the mold and my hammer sliped and my arm came up and hit the nile on the table. And its the same arm I had surgery on and it hurt bad that kide of hurt when you feel sick and lightheaded and then I blacked out I didn't all the way blackout my vison got black and I got cold and sweaty but it didn't last 1 to 2 mintues tops. After it was done I went back out side and and went back to work. And no I have not been smoking at all nothing in 3 months. So I think its just for the pain form the hit cause if that didn't happen I'm 99% sure I would not have blackout I wasnet panicing or nothing.
Hey me and you might have went through the same thing, so are you better now its been 3 months seens my panic attack on weed.
Oh yea bro it was totally just from the pain - pain can knock you out cold and I've had my fair share of incidents - So rest easy knowing that thats why it happened nothing more. What will slowly start happening is that you will gain more and more control of your anxiety and it will just be a small hurdle to tackle when you get to that point. I have no anxiety now and it took me a few months to get to this point. I will say from time to time being like weeks and months apart I might have a little anxious moment that I can brush off which is essentially very normal because everyone has their moments. When youre a person who has self control of themselves or is a happy person in life there is no more need for the drug. I reached the point where I realized that I was doing the stuff just to do the stuff - it no longer did anything for me and I'm in a very happy point in my life so why would I want to waste all this positive energy on this drug - it gets to the point that it steals yourself away from truly being yourself. You are totally on the right track especially if youve gotten to the point that you barely have any anxiety. Just keep up with yourself and stay active and exercise. Once I stopped smoking I wasn't as hungry but then after the months went on I started to throw back the pounds quickly so I have been in catchup mode of working out when I get the chance and really working out and doing cardio so it really keeps my body on an even keel and helps me with sleeping through the night. Sounds like things are picking up for you and I'm really glad youve stuck it out and not gotten back to smoking cause it's just not worth it. The world is so much clearer when you stop and your memory becomes so fast and crisp.
Ok I think I know what's going on its drug induced anxiety. Its from having a drug induced panic attack and it was so scaring that it still scares you and that's what your anxiety is from. And I belivie that's what's going on with me. Because I'm good when I don't think about panic attacks but when I do I have anxiety. Does anyone else think this is what's going on. And my recovery is just me forget but it idk. I just won't to talk to someone who's recovered from what I'm going through.
it varys from person to person how weed really effects us. but it doesnt make weed bad just cause your body didnt agree with it.
wow thanks i really needed that.. i hope it gets better by doing this. and i pray to god that this works for me..i asked god for a sign and i think that this was for me..thank you so much
