marijuana and anxiety/panic attacks (11)

1 Name: Anonymous : 2007-06-19 06:16 ID:E46uPail

i quit marijuana(and tobacco) roughly 5 months ago because i was up at night thinking i would have a heart attack. every night, whether i smoked weed or tobacco at all that day, i would seriously think i was going to die. it still happens sometimes but not every night. not sure if it's just in my head but i would swear my heartbeat is louder and faster. it got worse before it got better after i quit.

but lately i've started smoking cigarettes again (just like 1 or 2 a day) and feel a strong urge to start back on weed. i'm scared at the same time though because i might have a real panic attack and just flip out or something. dunno what to do.

also, does anonymous ever have anxiety issues, and what do you do about them?

A good friend of mine used to do marijuana. He was a complete idiot who could barely see past his nose due to either the high, or the cravings for doing some more. Fortunately we got him to quit, and instead of being a total loser who'll end up on the streets, he nowadays is successfully working on getting a good university degree.

i have a friend who has somthing like this, he drinks to help it ( it just knocks him out so he can sleep), he says it helps. also you might want to stop smoking (everything) if it hurts you so much. i hope you get better man :)

Drinking usually makes anxiety worse, actually.

>>4 Maybe in the long term but not short-term. Panicattacks and weed are REALLY common. It's one of the reasons I stopped smoking.

Best way to deal with anxiety is beating the crap out of someone or yourself. The other way out would be punching the walls for example.

Can't really think if you are occupied punching or kicking something.

like cutting yourself?

you obviously can't handle that shit. know thyself, and stay away. panic attacks are no fun. if they hang around, go see a doctor. i'd say give it another month or so, depression/anxiety after quitting pot tends to linger around at least that long before fading off.
