still feeling awkward 4 weeks after smoking marijuana

I'm a 24 year old male, and I have only smoked a few times in my life prior to this last weekend.  When I did smoke in the past I took like one hit and that was it.  It never really made me feel all that good but I also never really felt like I was truly high.  I have struggled with serious anxiety most of my life, and I thought to myself, why not see if getting blazed calms the feeling down?  So for the first time I smoked a c**p-ton of weed.  I smoked and took numerous fat hits on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  Saturday night I shared a blunt with a friend after I was already super drunk..  The weed didn't help with my anxiety at all, it only made me feel more anxious.  I woke up Sunday morning feeling even higher than I did Saturday night.  It has been a week now, and I still wake up every morning feeling really tired and kind of high.  It is harder to concentrate and I am more tired throughout the day.  I also feel a little angrier, more socially awkward, and just plain out of it (kinda find myself blanking or staring off into space).  I have this feeling like I am slightly high all the time, and it sucks.  I thought I was going to look online and find a bunch of comments about how this feeling will go away after a few weeks, but that has not been the case.  Blog after blog seems to describe how the feeling continues for an insanely long time if it even goes away at all...  This is some scary c**p.  I'm never smoking again.  I just cant believe that one weekend of getting super high could do this to me.  I wish more people had helpful suggestions for what to do to make this feeling go away.  If there is anything that helps please let me know...but maybe the reason that there are so few posts about a helpful treatment is because there really is nothing a person can do to make this feeling completely go away.... I have problems to begin with and if this is really gonna be some permanent thing i dont know if I can handle that.
 

I was a daily weed smoker from 17-24. Right around the time I turned 24 I noticed when I got high around people I didn't know I got a strange feeling. (It was anxiety but at the time I didn't even know what anxiety felt like)..Anyway, I decided to stop smoking weed cold turkey. It was great. I had never felt so good in my life after quitting. I had a ton of energy and was getting out and doing more besides sitting on my ass getting stoned. About 2 years after quitting some roommates of mine (who still smoked) had some weed cookies. They were trying to convince me to take them but that night I had a poker tournament. So as I went to leave I get to my car and notice my tire was flat. I looked closely an there was a nail in it. It was 7 PM so there was no where to take it at that time. So I went back inside and to make a long story short I at one of the damn cookies. It hit me in about 30 minutes an I was TORE up! I immediately started to panic. That night I had about a 4 hour panic attack and it was awful. At one point I had my phone ready to dial 911. LOL....Anyway, the next morning I woke up and felt a little foggy but not too bad. Later that day after getting my tire fixed I picked up a buddy to go down to the bating cages. As we pulled onto the freeway I started to notice i couldn't focus on much and the sunlight was really messing with me. Then a had a huge panic attack. I thought I was having a heart attack. (funny  thing is my buddy never even noticed lol) The attack stopped as soon as I got to the batting cages, but I was not feeling right at all. I felt weak, and just not like myself at all. After that day I struggled with severe anxiety (especially while driving) for about a year. I was having trouble sleeping and everything. Then about a year after my severe anxiety had I read an article where someone had said to take vitamin B complex for anxiety. I decided to try it. I was taking 2 pills a day of both B complex and omega 3 fish oil. After about 3 weeks of taking them my anxiety went away totally! I was once again the person I once was. I was so happy to be 'normal' again.......But about a year of being totally anxiety free I was playing poker at a local casino and BOOM! Out of nowhere I had a severe panic attack. I had to get up from the table and go outside to get fresh air. The worst part is I knew a ton of people there. A few of them were coming up to me asking me if I was ok and asking why my face was so red. (My face gets super red during a panic attack) I just told them I was fine and that I was sunburned lol...Well ever since then (A year ago) I have had horrible anxiety and it has never gone away. I do have somedays where I feel totally fine, but the next day I feel horrible again.

All because I had a flat damn tire and I decided to eat that cookie I feel like this today.....It sucks.

Its anxiety dude

It never goes away. I've felt this way since highschool. I haven't smoked in years. Some research I've Done suggests vitamin b deficiency. Others d. Some say allergies you're unaware you have, like wheat, dairy, or gluten, can cause people to feel high. Only now after smoking you have something to relate the feeling to. Good luck.

Don't use any psychoactive drugs if your family has a history of some mental disorder, these drugs tend to bring them out. Also to anyone struggling with anxiety, depersonalization, etc. try doing something to get your mind off of it, like exercising or a hobby. The brain is a complex organ, and most of the time just thinking something is wrong with you can cause you to feel different than you normally would.

im 18 now. my first time was with my friends and i hit it alot. i mean alot..my heart was racing, i could feel my pulse and i was forgetting things every couple minutes. i felt like i kept passing out because we would sit there and about 10 minutes later i felt like i suddenly woke up from sleeping, without memory of what just happend a couple minutes ago. but after my first time i felt normal.. i think.. but i did it again but this time, the next day i felt like i was still high, and the next day and the next day.i couldnt focus well in school.even days when i didnt go high. its been about a year since ive quite now and im still feeling this way. but slowly i can see myself getting better. i think all i can do about this is wait.

its been a year for you guys and it was hard to find this forum, im now experiencing what you guys have gone through... did it get better, if not im going to kill myself, i cant live like this.... its horrible im sitting here bawlling my eyes out, im only 14 and have so much i havnt done in my life D': 

You definitely didnt fry your brain if thats your whole story..thats nothing ... try smoking it multiple times a day, every day, for a few years then youll see what permafried really feels like. Not telling you to though, don't if you actually have responsibilities and stuff like i do, makes thinking a bit more difficult when youre trying to do things fast paced.. i dont smoke that much anymore, now its a few times a week. n im starting to just let it go, it isnt doing anything for me anymore really

There is no way to fight it that I know of...I would honestly suggest smoking more and becoming more open to the effects of weed. I'm guessing you had a bad experience your first time, like I did which is causing you to feel the way you do.

Maybe having and good experience with weed will help calm you down.

Let me know..

it okay dude. it's all in your head. you just have to think positive.

Hey I know you posted this ad a really long time ago but after reading your post I really felt the need to MSG you. I'm 16 and I smoked laced 5 months ago I had a really bad hallucination attack I literally thought I was going to die. The next day I felt sick and the day after that and after that it's not been 5 months and it hasnt gone away. I still feel the same feeling I had that night today. I can't focus I get really bad anxiety my body feels weird and everything around me in this world doesn't seem real like I've lost part in reality. I really feel like I can't possibly take it anymore it's been so long and I can't make it go away. If I could take back what happened that night I would but I know I can't now and I have to live with it. I think about what happened ever day from when I wake up to when I fall asleep. I just can't get it off my mind since it was such a traumatizing expirence. I know your not a doctor or anything but I really would appreciate some advice on how you made yourself feel better. I feel crazy and I'm only 16 I shouldn't have to stress about this stuff please help thanks
