paranoia and drugs

Are you a paranoid person? Do you use drugs for recreational purposes? Do they have anything to do with your paranoia?

I voted option #3.

 

a paranoid person, it's NOT because of the drugs I use, and it's NOT debilitating.

 

I guess I should add: if you choose any of the "it's not because of the drugs I use" be sure to mention if that's because you don't use drugs at all.

 

moderately paranoid person when not on drugs, high paranoia when on drugs

 

paranoid in what sense? i'm schizo, but i'm not paranoid like scared of stuff unless i'm having an episode... i worry about the effect i have on people a lot, but i consider that normal...

when i smoke i wouldn't say i get "paranoid", but i get uncomfortable unless i'm around people who are bonified stoners and aren't gonna make me feel like a doofhead.

i don't know. i don't understand what paranoia means i guess...

 

i think im too permafried to be paranoid....i dont give a shit about anything really i get nervous sometimes and selfconcious but i wouldnt call it paranoia

i used to get paranoia attacks after some bad coke experiences but im fine now and i use drugs more then ever

so im NOT a paranoid person, but I do use drugs.

 

Paranoia can be anything from suspecting a girlfriend/boyfriend is cheeting on you (without evidence) to running around downtown screaming that aliens are stealing your thoughts.

Being paranoid doesn't necessarily mean you're schizophrenic - it could just mean you've got a wild imagination or have trouble trusting people.

I know that when I get EXTREMELY stoned, I get paranoid that demons are peering into my soul and are reprogramming my mind. It used to be debilitating (I had serious issues a while back), but now I recognize them for what they are - a bunch of fooy going on in my head. I can usually just scoff at it saying "You know that's just yourself coming up with all this stuff, don't you... yeah, I do." I also gage how much pot I smoke. I'll just add a little to my pipe, smoke it, feel it out for about five minutes (it should be at least five minutes), and if I feel it's a rather weak high, I'll smoke a little bit more. I can usually find my "comfort zone" doing it that way.

 

ok... well then, i'm not paranoid .

brains are too weird to label.....

I'm a paranoid person, it's influenced by the drugs I use but stems from somewhere deeper.

 

i get paranoid sometimes but its not debilitating and at worse it makes me take precautions or check to see if my paranoia is rational or not.

i used o get paranoid when stoned but not so much anymore, i supress my anxiety

 

That's a good way of avoiding the "debilitating" part of the question.
Oh well, maybe "challenging" is a better word.

 

I'm a bit of a hypochondriac, and it is greatly potentiated by the drugs I use. Since I started using drugs, I have been very paranoid about my heart, lungs, and brain. It used to be pretty debilitating, but now I just accept it as part of my everyday life and go with the flow. If something is wrong, fuck it.....I just don't worry about it anymore, as I have accepted the fact that I will probably die by the time I am 30 years old and just live life as well as I can as long as I can.

I am not really paranoid when it comes to my surroundings, though.

 

I'm paranoid only smoking Ganja but not at all from Psychodelics , and more I use acid and shrooms more I paranoid from Marijuana .... I don't know why!!!!!??????
But I don't care cuz no drug is good as LSD ! maybe only music !!!!! arty:

 

Yeah weed makes me paranoid as all hell. Mostly due to the fact that I have to be outside around some sort of parent (inside the house sleeping) or in someone's car or somewhere sucktastic, and the fact that it's illegal.

Damn laws.

I don't think any other drug makes me paranoid at all.

 

drugs make me paranoid because you get arse raped if youre caught with them

 

Someone somewhere on this forum suggested that if ever pot was made legal, tons of paranoia would go down... makes sense to me.

 

I noticed someone on here said they surpressed their anxiety...

This is quite dangerous...

I work as a hands on healer and encourage people to release all feelings, positive and negative. Males arent quite so adept at this...

In the long term repressed emotions, sadly manifest in illnesses...

Let those feelings out guys....very important...

Some good ways to release.....music...thrashing the guitar, bashing a drum. Dancing...really letting the body go totally. Beating a punchbag and shouting at the same time, running around the garden screaming lol....sounds crazy...sex, and even hugging is healthy (they say to have 12 hugs a day supports the immune system)

If you smoke a lot, be aware that this could ultimatley surpress emotions..so take a break and become very much ALIVE......sing loudly, be different to when ye are stoned......be ANIMATED....be vocal ...

And talking too...with a friend or a good relative or counsellor can really help.
