Marijuana and Anxiety Need Some Help

Hey all,

I need some help with anxiety while smoking. I like to smoke, but for some reason I get overwhelmed with anxiety, which I think is because I always think something bad is gonna happen like my heart is gonna blow up or something. Here's the original thread somewhere on here with it in more detail.

If I can get any help from you guys and gals, I'll most appreciate it!

 

Are you anxious before you start smoking? because smoking may be enhancing this nervous state. If so, relax/meditate or do whatever to calm down before you smoke up. If not, it could be a strange reaction to other meds you are taking? I would not smoke if it's making you feel unpleasant.
Best wishes!

 

Yes well I do I feel anxious right after saying things to myself like: "OMG I shouldn't of done this I'm gonna get sick now" or "something bad it gonna happen to me". Since it is a disorder, It's doesn't take much for it arise. I'll try to relax, thanks.

 

Yeah I study psychology so I know some stuff about this. Consider cognitive behavioral therapy in lieu of medication. A cog. beh. therapist will teach you breathing exercises as well as coping mechanisms. These therapies don't usually take long either. Many have success in just a few months!

 

it happened to me everytime i smoked, with pretty much with the same exact symptoms, the main one is the fear of my heart exploding. you just have to be one of those people who can talk themselves out of it because nothing is really gonna happen to you

me on the other hand, can't get out of that mindset while high and had to quit smoking all together

 

yeah sometime ill get real nervous or something and get anxiety but i can chill myself back. smoke with cool people , for example people that always sketch and shit. smoke in a good place where you dont need to worry about anything. clear your head out or meditate before you smoke, that might work u never know.

 

I think it has alot to do with being in another state of mind, different emotions and euphoria all hitting you at once. I get anxious at times, but if your in the right setting it doesn't really matter.
