hey! im fourteen years old and ive never ever posted anything online about me.. it was a few months ago that i'd smoked weed my first time. i was totally fine for about the first thirty minutes then like we sat down and as we were walking back to the resturants i started tripping out. everything felt like a dream i kept shaking my friends saying "is this real life" "help me get out of this" and eventually my mind focused enough to realize it was real life and i was really panicky and asked my friend to call my mom and tell her everything and she faked it which i suppose was more stress, then i got it the car and somehow played it off and got home and slept, i was fine a few weeks after, then i flew into boston to visit my dad and went out to eat and i had a panic attack, the world got spinny and i lost my whole appetite. now ever since then, i've been having stupid thoughts and i feel like i cant escape this. is annoying. has anyone experienced this before? i've been doing a lot of research too. i think i should go see someone. sorry for this being so long. thanks :)

Yes, it would be best to see someone about this to help you manage these feelings. Visiting this forum is a good start, but talking about this to an adult person face to face would be the next step to take. A panic attack is not uncommon among people who smoke weed, having them come back and alter your mindset months later could but should not happen and is annoying to say the least. I don't know what you mean with 'having stupid thoughts and I feel like I can't escape this', but I think things will improve for you if you talk about these thoughts to someone in real life. Just don't muddle along with this all on your own, certainly at your age. Everybody needs help once and a while.
Do you have any idea who to see? Do you think there is a possibity to talk about this to someone in your family? That would be the ideal situation, as you no longer need to hide what is bothering you from the people closest to you. If not, maybe a counselor or teacher that you trust at school can help you further?
In the mean time, do try to imagine that things will work out in the end and that these feelings will subside. From now on, do not search the internet too often as it will make your head spin and lets you focus on your problems too much. Instead seek help as you suggested, try to live your live your life as you normally would and convince yourself that everything will be fine in the end. I suffered from anxiety once and found that to be the best way to handle my situation. The anxiety slowly subsided and I came out stronger than before. You have done your research and came to the right conclusion about seeking help all on your own, which I find very admirable for a 14 year old. There are lots of adults that experience the same thing, but aren't that wise. I am really impressed and think this will also work to your advantage in handling your problem. Therefore I also think it is unnecessary to tell you not to use weed ever again.
I sincerely wish you all the best and hope you feel better again soon! :)
