Hello, I have started doing pot in 2007 and it was mainly for weekends only. Recently I have'nt done any pot for almost 3 months. I have been getting paranoid alot and had alot of anxiety from like 6-8 months and I am sure it was caused by pot. Last year, whenever I smoked pot I seriously had worst thoughts ever. I had thoughts of my family/friends dieing, me getting busted by cops for no reason, robbery, and even about ghosts. I would get that high paranioa and anxiety only when I am high. Is there any way to get rid of those feelings? I stopped smoking pot just because of those unimaginable feelings and anxiety. Thanks for your time.
dude pot may just not be for you, i sure as hell know any kind of xanax/lortab or other script drug isn't for me unless i actually need it for the pain. My best idea for you is you need to be in a situation where you have no obligations and no chance of being caught. Just chill in your room with whoever you want, girl friend or a regular friend is always good to get high with. Just so you have someone you can see eye to eye with and not think your the only one thats high or freaking out. Some mellow lighting and music always helps too. If you can be in an extremely relaxed situation with no obligations and like a 99% chance of not seeing the cops (there's always a chance) and you still get these feeling or anxiety and paranoia i would say pot is not for you. To give you an idea i gave you the basic setting of what a first time shroom tripper should be doing, wich i would say is about 10 times more intense than pot,maybe more.
how old are you? do you smoke in a relaxing setting? ( i.e smoking in your parents house when they will kill you if they smell anything, or smoking in your own ) What kind of herb do you smoke, middies or dank? i have known kids that wont smoke dank because its to strong just some ideas, i have helped a few people out with the same situation
the only time i get paranoid is 'being paranoid of running out of pot''.....does this happen after even one or two tokes?
maybe your anxiety isn't from doing pot since you haven't done any for 3 months just stop worrying man - it accomplishes nothing some people take benzos for that kinda thing but i don't recommend that
I am 18. I am living with parents and yea it's been a while since I smoked in a relaxing and friendly environment. I usually used to smoke after midnight when my parents are asleep. I never wanted to do it in my school and work hours. I used to smoke middies I guess.
For some reason blow would take all my anxiety away..... Well, then when I started comin' down it was terrible... But anyway don't do blow. Even though yesterday I was given blow and K for free.... It was fucked up.
perhaps the pot isnt the reason for these feelings, just a catalyst in what you see as a "problem"...none of those fears really qualify as irrational but the thoughts themselves are irrational in the sense that you allow them, and allow them to instill fear in you....self acceptance and spiritual exploration will help you immensely in coming to terms with the reality of these "fears". dont blame the pot, it does allow your brain to function on another level, but if you're not strong enough for that level it will definitely lead you down a road you may not be ready for. say a loved one does die? yes it will suck, but theres not a lot you can do about it...life will go on. say there are "ghosts" (which there are) can you stop them? can you control them? nope, you cant...why sweat it? say you get robbed or arrested? its because of choices you made in your life.... anxiety is resistance to reality. so if the pot makes you feel out of control then don't "do" it...but don't blame it either, blame yourself and your lack of understanding of this world we live in,
oh well, last week i smoked outside and i had fun. then a day later i again smoked outside with couple of friends then i came home high and when i tuned on my pc i startd having thoughts abt my family dieing/getting killed etcetc, then i tried to sleep and those thoughts became too strong and i was thinking that it was real. it only happend when i was in my room alone. did it happen to any of you?
