i never felt what anxiety was until that time it happened after i smoked... i never had an "attack" when i wasn't smoking... just know what it is now and i sometimes overthink situations too much now... for example, if i'm in my car driving and i get a weird feeling in my chest, i start breathing deep like an idiot and i just say to myself... "stop being a retard, it's all in your head"

but after this whole situation i got xanax prescribed for me and i take it when i need it, although i've never really felt like i need it...

Good for u

tbh this sounds more like a physocolical problem where ur causing phatom pains and thoughts if u understand what i mean, people can over worry about something and sometimes if they smoke they become a lil paranoid which ADDS to this feelin of anxiety which leads u to think "im goin insane" "wots wrong with me" "do i have a anxiety disorder" when all it is is you.

The brain is POWERFUL.

:)

If u hit ur head and didnt know it wouldnt hurt :p

my 2 cents.

Im glad to hear that things aint as bad as they seem.

exactly... which is why i should stop over worrying about this and just man up... but it's hard after what had happened, i actually think i may never enjoy smoking again... but only time will tell

time will tell

but remain positive my friend

all the best ;)

Sometimes that can't be overcome. My husband had to stop smoking b/c he has panic attacks and vomits. I think it's possible to develop a sensitivity or allergy to cannabis... some of it might be mental but he hasn't been able to overcome the panic reaction.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Certain heads need to movealong.

It doesnt happen to me alot but man when i do get the anxiety attacks from highs its some intense shit. My heart pounded and I could sware someone was going to break into my house. Stupid now that I look back at it but fuck man, at the time it was scary.

yea def crazy...

but on another note, last night i was laying in my bed thinking of what anxiety is... it's a total joke... im like, why can't i just stop it from happening by thinking anxiety is like a complete false alarm... i might have to attempt it again sometime in the near future... and if anything happens, ill just have to eat a bunch of xanax... then i'd know for a fact i cant do this anymore

I hate anxiety attacks. If I smoke something that is too much of a sativa I ussually have one. I feel like shit,start shaking, keep thinking paranoid thoughts involving inpending doom, and I sweat A LOT. After the high is over it goes away. And indicas can stop them.

in all seriousness try obtaining a prescription for valium or xanax or something of that sort

u dont even have to take it daily if u dont want, just whenever u feel anxious

i have the anxiety...i dont get it bad like you do when i smoke, but when im sober im really anxious and those drugs do wonders....so im just thinking maybe it could help u as well

i dunno, just my two cents
