Panic Attacks

Anyone on this board suffer from an anxiety disorder? Panic attacks?

 

I did the second time i smoked weed. Im totally fine now , it was becasue my friends got me nervous by telling me as a joke

"Your going to smell , ur going to get caught hahahah"

and it kinda freaked the fuck outta me.

 

never had an actual panic attack, i just get really, really paranoid.

 

I was seriously just going to make a post about this. YES! I have somewhat of an anxiety disorder (enough to go to a group "workshop" for here at school), but usually smoking pot is okay for me. As long as I know my limits. If I'm feeling unstable then it is NOT the thing to do, because it amplifies all the negative and anxious thoughts and feelings I'm having, not make them go away. This led to my first panic attack in a few years on Sunday, because I thought smoking pot would make me forget about how sad and freaked out I was over having broken up with my boyfriend. Not a chance.


Anyway, for anyone with anxiety/panic problems, just know your limits when you smoke weed. If you do, then getting high can be a great and relaxing thing, and overall reduce the anxiety you have.

Yes, I have anxiety/panic disorder..and i will not be afraid to admit that smoking weed can trigger it at times..

 

^^ why would you be afraid?

 

I've only had 1 panic attack. I had done some yay and was trying to have a serious conversation with my mom, about a subject I was afraid to bring up. All of a sudden, panic attack. I didn't know what was going on, it was insane.

 

I did once, while laying in bed, it was wierd, the weed cost more money than before because they claimed it better, I couldnt get it nowhere else so got 5.5 g for 50 instead of a querter oz of the normal stuff I could of gotten from another dealer if he had of picked up his phone. This was from some kid we met on his way to pick up lol. I had like a bowl and was so baked i got paranoid and thought I was dying, then bam, it kicked in I had this ringing in my ears that I just couldnt stand. Then I passed out after a while of breathing heavily, strangly I had a dream I was walking down a sidewalk with a friend, and there was someone at the end of it but I dont know who it was . crazy shit that was.

EDIT: forgot to mention my heart was beating so fast I thought I was seriously gonna die that night.

 

i've never had a panick attack and i hope i never do..

 

i had use to have ALOT of problems with aniexy disorder, i had a panic attack everyday, it was so bad for a weekend i felt like everything was spinning and stayed in bed for a couple days and having panic attacks a couple times a day, i stoped smoking weed thinking it would help, so after a while i started smoking again which realy helped alot

 

I'm not sure it was a panic attack but last easter, the last time I stepped in a church, everyone was singing and it made me really nervous cuz I'm atheist. So being around everyone that was singing so faithfully about something I didnt believe in made me really really nervous and paranoid and I just needed to get the fuck out of there. Luckily I kinda mellowed out and was all better. I guess I have christian-phobia. lol

 

my first panic attack happend at school becasue i was scared of getting caught and as it was my second time smoking i was just freaking out!! i could hear people calling my voice in the hall way when they wernt and i was just tripping balls lol.

 

yeah only once when i was high, i used to get them alot when i wasnt high though

 

Was diagnosed with GAD a little while back and had frequent anxiety attacks, but it all went away with toking. Or so I hope..

 

When I'm high, my PD, SAD and GAD all act up. I have been smoking for like 5 years straight. I've become to where I dont like to go do much because I'm always high. I know it sounds bad, but its hard to stop when i have weed around me ALL the time..i usually get it free from the dealer because I come through with such large quantities for..umm "fundraising" means..but anyways, stoners can hate on me for speaking the truth of my experience. I used to be a football player and all kinds of things but I just found a new love..MJ. Well now I've got a job to get and I have to stop and its SO hard. But I know ALOT of people who tell me the reason they dont like marijuana because of the Anxiety it gives them. Mine came from chronic use for so long. I am stopping as of yesterday and I do believe my problems will go away once im clean for a few weeks.

 

I too have an anxiety disorder, panic attacks..all that jazz. I notice that weed can trigger it sometimes, or the day after I smoke I'll have an attack.

But I'm more interested in why we're all so prone to this disorder? Just the sparse responses seem like they probably weigh in quite a bit more heavily than the national average would.

 

i used to get pretty freaked out paranoia sometimes. one time i had an episode of not being able to get a self destructive thought out of my head, like it was being said to me by another part of my brain. i learnt how to overcome it (over a few months) and since then, barely even get anxious. when i do, its never much more than thoughts that i can always overcome now. sometimes i think things that are paranoid but without feeling paranoid, and with also accepting their ridiculousness, but its fun to think up things sometimes

 

Yo weedman, did that shit ever happen to you again? That sounds very familiar to my situation. First time, i ate a brownie and it took like 25 mins to kick in but when it did it hit hard like TOO hard. I felt my heart ebating much faster than normal. At that point i started freaking out. I tried to calm down and sit but my head got heavy than i passed out for not even a minute. After i still did not recuperate, i Had to sleep in bed for like 2 days straight.
Second time, a wk after the brownie incident i smoked a blunt. At first, things were fine, i was a little nervous bc i was scared sumthing might happen again. Well all was good for about 5-10 minutes, until i rose up from my chair and began to feel my head get heavy again. Also, my heart was beating extremely fast or so it felt. I lay in bed, never passed out, but started shaking alot. We called the paramedics, they did their tests and everything came out normal. Nothing even close to dangerous. This was so weird. Can anyone help me out?? It would be greatly appreciated Thanks

 

try not smoking soo much at a time..... remember to drink plenty of water

 

i've only had a few, and they suck...big time
