im too paranoid!!!

I've been smokin for a little over a year now and when i started it was all cool. i never had a worry in the world didnt freak about nothin. but ever since like 2-3 months ago i've been gettin extremely paranoid over the tiniest things. when im not stoned im worried about where we r goin or how much time we have or who's there. and when i am stoned its like 10 times worse. it really kills my high and i wanna kno if this has happened to anyone else? also give me some suggestions on how to a little more relaxed. thanx.

 

You need xanax in your life.

 

If youre having anxiety issues, they are going to be amplified when stoned. You might just have to take a break.. Also alcohol is great for anxiety.

 

dude, stop pushing xanax like it's some miracle drug or something. A friend of mine got hooked on it and she had a hell of a time stopping, withdrawals can last for months.

Besides, I'm sick of this goddam attitude that if your anxious or depressed you need to take a fucking drug. That just helps with symptoms, it's not a cure! Not only does it not let you actually address the problem, it suppresses it, meaning when it pops back up (as it always will) it will be even worse. Alcohol is great for anxiety. yeah, great miracle cure, buddy. That will solve your problems...just stay drunk and you'll be fine! Works for millions all over the world, right? Grrrr!

I never said it was a miracle drug. But one little pill will take the edge off every once in a while. And it is great with weed. Besides, it wasn't even meant to be taken literally. I should've added an lol to avoid confusion.

 

Well, Trippin, I totally agree with what you are saying about drugs helping the symptoms but not the cause of the problem. That being said, you have obviously not experienced anxiety to the point of debilitation.

 

thats true. I overreacted. It just really irritates me sometimes.

 

Nah I dont think you overreacted, but I'm just saying sometimes it's a lot easier to treat the symptoms, then work on the problem. And sometimes the symptoms are too intense to function.

 

worst suggestion ever.

 

Alchohol makes me less paranoid

 

well maybe if your really paranoid, it is quite possible that you have anxiety problems, and if this really seems to impede things in your life maybe see a doctor about it

 

and dont become emotionally dependant on alcohol. thats called alcoholism. its bad.

 

yah i agree w/ jojoeyes hiding your problems w/ alcohol is extremely bad!!! DO NOT turn to alcohol to solve your problems, this can lead to an addiction! u can start by cutting back on the weed. and maybe not doing weed again until ur feeling healthier and less stressed out.

 

ya dude, just stop toking for a little while...

 

I know people that use alcohol/drugs during random times of the day to make themselves feel better. Valium, xanax whatever but that totally takes the fun out of getting high if you need it just to cope. When i use drugs, i do it to get fucked up and have fun. Never get dependent on drugs, only you will end up losing.

 

dont do when ur in a bad mood. it makes the rest of us look bad to have dependants as members of the drug community.

 

while peopl who havnt experience debilitating anxiety one can wonder if that is because of something the had control of or whether its totally genetic or resultant from trauma?

at any rate, if your anxiety has grown since you started smoking then you need to get closer to yourself and understand your mind and how it works better. you need to grow confidence and self-awareness. its useful training yourself in diverting attention from anxiety. i cant do it perfectly, i dont think thats possible 100% but it sure makes my life better.

but if youre getting anxiety when youre not even stoned then thats definately a bad sign, if you didnt used to.

alchohol does some actions that are basically the same as xanax n all the benzos and stuff.

 

In other words, "I don't care about people who suffer psychologically feeling better, I just want to get high."

I wasnt totally serious in suggesting that he uses alc for anxiety. Even though it can be very therapeutic in small amounts for stress, anxiety, and panic attacks and disorders. But I will definitely stick to my comment now in light of your dumb responses. I have self medicated in the past w/ alcohol, and I am far from alcoholism.

 

well thanks for the suggestions but i think u guys took it a little too far. im not like freakin out constantly its just mainly when im stoned plus i get over it its just its happened alot lately and i wanted to kno if it was normal. i highly doubt that i have anxiety issues!!!

 

Have you been smoking the same weed lately?
