Hi Jimmy, sorry, I was around but missed the thread so i forgot to update. How are ou feeling? I think that there is no such thing as a lasting condition at least mentally, so you should be okay in a few weeks like I said--but I can tell you that almost any kind of marijuana use can lead to addiction and withdrawal symptoms. I know it's unusual but it's the type of problems you can have. How are you doing now?

hey bluedog, no worries , I actually feel really good, the anxiety is still hanging on by my shoe lace, and i just cant shake it off but its almost gone, i just have some intrusive thought here and there very minor and very acute, I think this is part of the anxiety, would you agree? but I am almost there i think I will be 100% really soon. let me know what your thoughts are.

I agree 100%. I think that it's a good idea to realize though that now that you've been through this that you'll probably become aware of other sources of anxiety in your life now that you've worked through this emotion so much. Now that you know what it's like, you see anxieties about other things that you can easily fix, and believe me, it becomes so much easier to life life, it seems. Keep me posted, and glad to hear you're doing so well!!

So Here's my story...
I started out smoking just occasionally, then it turned into a weekend thing, a nightly thing, then I started selling, and it turned into an all day thing... I was smoking all throughout the day from morning till night. Was filling my face with food everytime I smoked, if I'd smoke at 6, eat a huge amount of food, then smoke again at 8, and eat another huge amount of food. It was really getting out of hand. But anyways, I always knew I had somewhat of a high acidity level in my stomach too, from a previous doctors visit. But I ended up taking some zantac 150 for about a month, then thought nothing of it... Anyways, this happened before I started smoking on a daily basis, when it was only an occasional thing.. But as time went on, I started smoking more and more pot, to where it got the the extent that for me to "feel normal" I had to be high.. Otherwise my mind would race.. Also, whenever I tried smoking cigarettes while I was sober, my stomach would always feel very weird, but I just kept telling myself that it was all in my head, because everytime I'd smoke a cigarette while I was high, I'd be fine.. So I continued on my smoking binge.. It got to the extent to where I wouldn't even get hungry until I smoked the first time during the day... So I continued on.. smoking, thinking that I just needed it to get through my days, and that everything was fine with me.. Boy, was I wrong....
It got to the extent, to where everytime I'd wake up in the morning, my mind would be going through constant extreme anxiety till i smoked for the first time during that day..
So as we got closer and closer to thanksgiving, I was smoking more and more, and it was weird, cause everytime I smoked, I was barely even getting hungry anymore.. It finally led up to thanksgiving, and i brought a couple joints to my family picnic so I could try and eat, but something wasn't right, I could barely even take more than a couple bites of this delicious turkey... Finally I said to my mom, I need to see a doctor about this (I don't even have insurance, so i knew i was going to have to pay for it out of pocket). I ended up scheduling an appointment to see a doctor on that following Saturday. So I went to see the doctor, and told him my problems(didn't tell him I smoked pot). And it turned out to be that my stomach was completely inflamed, and that it didn't even want to digest food, or even move... it was very close to ulcerating, and internally bleeding.. So as I thought pot was the solution to everything... It was really slowly killing me.. it led up to be everytime I was smoking, I was calming the nerves around my stomach, so I wouldn't feel the pain, and it was giving me that artificial sense of hunger.. Everytime I smoked a cigarette and told myself it was in my head.. It really wasn't.. It was really messing up my stomach even more. it was just the pot that made me think that everything was ok... Since the doctors visit, I've quit cold turkey, and have been going through withdrawals since.. If it weren't for me putting my faith in the lord jesus christ, I wouldn't even have enough sanity to write this. I'm so glad I've finally straightened out my life, and have commited myself to never smoking again.
But anyways, the withdrawals...
The immediate ones were:
No hunger (lasted about 4 days)
Sleeplessness (Waking up way to early, and not being able to fall back asleep)
Long lasting ones that I'm waiting for to end:
Generalized anxiety about things that I should never worry about
A lonely feeling at times
Panic attacks when put on the spot.
It really sucks, and I can't wait till all this stuff leaves my system completely.
I'll keep you all posted on how things go.

I am literally going out of my mind with the whole sleep thing. I love weed, I know the horrendous effects it's having on me, but my brain feels like it splits in two, one part says nah f**k it, just have a smoke. The other is saying, no, you don't need it. I've just broken up with my girlfriend of 3 years, moved back home and am feeling the lowest and loneliest I have ever felt. I dread going to bed. This Is really grim.
