So, I'm not going to smoke anymore. Seriously. This is my first time "quitting" ever since I started way back when. Since my girlfriend left for Africa a couple weeks ago, I've been having ridiculous anxiety and everytime I've smoked since then, the worries and anxiety becomes intensified. This is not just one time, it's happened every single time. I've always had some anxiety when I smoke but it's become completely unmanagable and paralyzing. Right after I smoke I'll just get flushed and dizzy and have a panic attacks and throw up and can't move too little and can't move too much and I just have to sit and relax for an hour before I can do anything. I keep telling myself, "Nope, this time I'm going to get high and be fine, no anxiety at all" but that doesn't help. Although I love weed, it's not worth it for me or my body or my psyche to deal with all that fucking shit everytime I toke up. I don't know if anyone has any suggestions on how to deal with this or possibly eliminate the anxiety but any advice will be muccch appreciated. And if not, farewell Marijuana forum, you've been great. I'll be back whenever this gets better!
i HAVE never EVER met anyone that smoked weed and got high atleast 30+ times and then quit completely by theire choice. normally people quit for a while... probation, college, work- but still toke after. i dunno i guess anxiety is a big issue. dont quit completely- just stop for a while, maybe ur feeling will change :S
The best way I can imagine to get rid of the anxiety is to go to your doctor and tell him that you get anxiety attacks. He/she might prescribe you an anti-anxiety pill such as clonazepam or lorazepam. They work great for anxiety. I could take 4 of those bastards and stand up infront of the school in my underwear and not be fazed.
well i think you've found yourself a good stepping stone but take it from me (someone who has also quit recently) don't necessarily leave the MJ forum i love this place, and although sometimes (you evil bastards! ) it's a bit tempting with all that is discussed (go figure ) it's still a good place to be good people here, good topics, good fun
OMG horace that movie rocks, you have just reminded me of it. I saw it at this midnight movie gathering at a local theatre last year, great cartoon movie.
yeah, i havent smoked in 2 mounths and 2 days, but i love it here at the MJ forums, so im here several times a day.
She gets back in March. I hope when she gets back a lot of my anxiety will stable out. She's just a huge support system and since shes in a hut in the middle of no where, communication is nearly impossible! haha. Thanks for all the support guys. It helps alot. And I am on anxiety meds, they just arn't working right now I suppose. I'm just going to go on a cleansing fast for a week to ten days. Not just food but media, pot, alcohol, TV, radio, internet and anything else that polutes my body and mind. Just relax and center myself without outside influences. Hopefully this will help my cluttered mind clear out!
once again you, yourself, seem to have the answer why bother with us dum foke (that was a joke btw, the dumb folk part)
the clearing out your mind thing is actually a very good idea. and if visiting these forums tempts you to smoke, or just unnecessarily reminds you of weed, stop visiting....seriously, it's easier. (That's what I did both times I took month long breaks)
