Depersonalization and permanent anxiety after smoking weed!

Hey everyone, I have much of the same feelings as in this thread, I just want to let people know about "the linden method", which help both me and my brother out a ton to get out of our anxiety issues.

Hey friend, I've gone through what you're going through in all honesty. I used to smoke for years and years and I just recently totally quit about 5 months ago. Honestly one of the hardest things I had to do but it's so amazing being off it now. I've posted a few pages back many ways of dealing with the stress and anxiety from quitting. What you need to do I'd truly quit and not keep going back to it first and foremost. Secondly it's not a drug induced panic attack technically speaking because there are so many factors. The fact of the matter is that you need to keep busy with dong healthy habits like reading, hobbies and especially exercise. If you keep up on bring healthy and eating healthy foods and not drive through c**p you will have added mental strength. So stay positive, stay calm, try relaxation techniques and be healthy. All willg et better as it has for me. I did it I feel great now and it was rough at the start but if you keep at it have someone close you can talk to about how you're feeling you will gain strength. We all have anxiety and stress that we deal with healthy or not but being healthy and being strong makes overcoming those moments all the easier. Take care and let me know how you're doing and use the advice I'm giving you. I've been there.

Im 16 I been smoking weed sense I was 14 but the last 2 times I smoked I had panic attacks & this is like 3 months later I ndver been the same sense . Now I get depress, sad, angry, parinoid , & I feel different . I need help bad I dont feel like myself I went to a doctor but he just said im depress idk whats wrong with me my mine is always thinking. Im never calm. Some one help please

Hey man, exact same boat dude, it's like when i first started i used to be panicky and sh*t, then i like smoked it for like 2 years everyday, i loved every moment of it. Then all of a sudden things started to change, at first it would be minor negative thoughts, but i'd always believed i was indestructible to weed. Then i had a full blown panic attack one day and never smoked weed for like 6 weeks like you said. I'd wake up feeling worthless, scared and didn't know what to do with my day, mostly i'd just want to lie in bed all day, the best part of my day was night time because i could go sleep. It's all Anxiety and Depression. Anxiety is the panicky feeling, the butterflies, the constant thinking. Depression is the worthlessness, the feeling of not wanting to anything, you loose interest in things that you once loved. You will get suicidal thoughts. But listen it all gets better, all you have to do is accept what you have, don't be afraid of it no more, don't try and fight it off because it will just come back worse, i went for cycles that helped me alot, don't lt nothing change your mind though, if you get up and think im going for a cycle go and do it, and enjoy it, as soon as you say to yourself actually i dont know if i can be arsed then you knock yourself back a ton. I could help you so much email is _[removed]_

Hey guys here's my update I don't burp almost at all now. I used to burp with in 5 sec's of waking up. And my sleep is better alot of the time. And now I've found out that I don't really have anxiety anything really its mostly about having a panic attack that's the only thing I worry about. And I'm on month 5 now and its been a month and a half seens I've had a panic attack so not so bad. So did any of you that recovered from this have this at 5th month .

Yes you're right at the breaking point - again what you need to remember is that when you're smoking or doing and kind of drug whether it be drinking or anything else - you're masking your emotions and experiencing the high. When this happens you don't experience emotions naturally. Panic attacks-anxiety are all natural occurrences for people but when you're not using it's a new experience to you. So you usual coping mechanism of the high is gone and you're trying to figure out a natural healthy way of dealing with the panic attack. Over time you will have found your style of dealing with these emotions naturally and gain more and more control. You're at the breaking point where you will seriously start to keep settling into a calmer solid mental state. I'm pretty much a month ahead of you and I feel great. Every now and then sure I get a little anxious but it passes and I gain strength against it in a healthy way. Keep at it - keep active - stay healthy eat healthy - surround yourself with positive people in your life - You're on the right path friend keep at it! I've been there...

I under stand what your say but I'm still trying to undersatnd what is all going on. First I stop because of a panic attack from weed. And I've had them before close to the one I had so I said F it I'm not smoking ever again. And I've had them before but I didn't smoke everyday like I did when I was 5 month ago. I probly anit had 5-6 panic attacks sense the first bad one. And when I have one most the time I feel sick days after I have one did you have that and my anxiety was 5x worse. But I was thinking maybe the ones I had back then didn't bother me is because I didn't smoke everyday. And so when I was smoking everyday for months and had a panic attack and stoped that's what has made me have anxiety and panic attacks. So people say that some people get a temporary anxiety disorder from being traumatized from the attack. So what do you think is the more likely reason for my anxiety, panic problem?

I love this. I stopped smoking weed 2 weeks ago& my panic attacks are getting bad. I don't want to drive. I don't feel safe. I believe in god but my faith isn't as strong as it used to be. I've been looking for a cure& didn't realize god is the cure.

Why does every single thing like this have to be filled with religious people pushing their religion on to others? Why can't you lot realise that if someone wanted to follow a religion, they would do it. Some random person saying they 'found Jesus' is not going to convert anyone. Get over yourselves. Anyway, I thought pride was a sin?

Alright well my problem is im not a huge stoner or anything. ive smoked weed a couple of times but have expieremented more with pills anyways i smoked on saturday and had a bad trip and a huggge panic attack. it was awful. i had never been that high before either. since then i have felt very dreamy and unreal. my friends say it will go away in a couple of weeks but im worried its something more permanant? i feel like this for the most part of my day, some times of day or worse than others and ive just been really nervous about it

your story might as well be mine. I do not know who I am anymore. I used to be very egotistical as well. I got super suspicious of authority figures as well. I got caught up in all that illuminati shiz I mean its a trip alright but now that i been sober 7 months it does not grip me like it used to. I do not tell people this but I do not know who I am anymore. Of course LSD and Shrooms didnt help either but I have lost all point of referance for identity. I overthink all the outcomes that can come out of a single action and I am fearful to make actions now. For instance I used to love basketball shoes. Then as i grew up I dressed in frat attire. I have a very hard time thinking the way I used to. I have trouble listening to the radio and tv. I think they are trying to brainwash me. Then I think even if they are...maybe it might be better for my mental health and sanity if I just go along with it and be like everyone else. But I cant now I am stuck in this state of mind. I try to get "deep" with old friends but no one thinks deep or talks about stuff like this. I have trouble staying the same person. If I talk with someone you kinda build up a report and you build off that connection. Well now I forget what the connection I had with someone and I geek out and mostly act serious. I am getting better though. I have come a long way in 6 months. Also it is weird because 6 months ago I was growing weed, carrying guns, now I am going to church and getting good grades. It is hard to find people in my same situation although I know there are thousands. All my old friends seem lame and I can see right through them. These friends are the popular good with girls have a lot of money type. They seem like children to me now. But I want to just be part of that agian but I cant man its frustrating. Keeping a good attitude is key though otherwise I get dperessed. I used to be a straight A Varsity athlete had abeautiful gf we went to college together i had a bmw. Now I live with my parents and drive a civic (although I dont even care I love my civic, but just saying...) Oh and at rehab i met lots of people coming off way harder stuff than you or I are dealing with so if they can do it we can. I think it just takes time? I hope :)

Connecter is sooo right, i smoked weed from about 12/13 to 17 and then quit as soon as i stoped smoking the weed i just felt dissconnected living a dream like world, thought i was going crazy, i had severe vertigo trouble sleeping and always woke up and wonderd if it would be there the next day i was down and out but the read connectors comment and belive it or not a few months later i was normal or say i got used to it, its all in your head and in the end your gona be alright :)

damm i wish my mom would let me smoke weed jajaja

I've smoked it since I was 14, I'm 22 now. I had less than two years off it since then. I'm back on it quite a lot now, but I'm just getting more creative, my mind is exploring the simpler things in life and utterly enjoying it. I've not had panic attacks just deep sleeps and a relaxed mind. I meditate when I can and stress not about the useless sh*t in life. Plus think of the actual health benefits. I will burn forever :) My social life completely interacts with it, so it's not taken that away from me.

Your an id**t and you don't deserve to have this child!

Im surprised they didn't do a drug screen on you. How dare you do this to your unborn child, who has no say one so ever!

Your a terrible person for even considering this was alright. SELFISH PIG!
