• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Okay, yesterday i did something kind of stupid...... i smoked weed, now i hardly ever smoke weed(prior to that i think it was sometime last year) but yesterday my parents were away and i decided to celebrate but am i took way to much and paranoia kicked in which led to my first ever panic attack...which led to like 4 more.
But now i have have a constant feeling of anxiety that i am going to get another one. I nearly had a few but i managed to calm myself down before they got really bad. I was afraid to sleep last night because i didn't want to get one in my sleep. I just want the anxiety feeling to go away, i can't seem to concentrate on anything. I feel crap, i cant enjoy anything. Also i have exams starting Monday (which doesn't help) and i really need to study but i can't concentrate. Also i am starting to fear that i will have an attack in the middle of an exam of something. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

i'd go in for a check up. pot might appear innocent; but it has many chemicals that stay in your system about a month. it's also grown with more chemicals and even poisons. pot is known to instigate paranoia and panic in people. a doctor can talk you through what happened and give you answers pretaining to your make up. :hug: xo stay away from that stuff. the high is not worth opening yourself up to the phycological and physical cost of it. xo, dee

Hey, thanks for replying, i am fine today. Just a bit weak and tried mainly because i haven't eaten or slept properly in two days. I now realize i was still feeling the effects of the drug ie paranoia when i wrote that message. I feel really stupid because there are people on here who have real anxiety problems so i am sorry to those people and i wish ye all the best. Oh and goldenviolet i am sorry for wasting your time but thanks for your concern.

Oh and P.S. you can be certain that i am never going near that stuff again!!
