I feel like my vision isn't the same before i smoke weed for the second time in my life. I feel like its not normal or i see like if it wasn't right like my vision is all most there but it not(back to normal). Last time i did it was 3 year ago which was my first time and now i feel really stupid for doing it again ...
View 2 RepliesI shared a joint (weed + tabac) with a few friends about 2/3 weeks ago (my first time), and I'm scared because my body just doesn't feel right ever since.
Because I do have Obsessive-compulsive disorder and anxiety problems, the immediate hours following the smoke I just couldn't relax and paranoia began to hit me. I had a bit of a panic attack, during which I was disturbed to notice these tiny flashes or floaters in my vision and a slight loss of concentration in 1 eye.
Anyway,anxiety hit me BIG TIME the following week when I noticed this things were still in my field of vision ! I was absolutely terrified, an emotional wreck because I believed (still sort of do) that I had made a huge mistake and screwed up my vision and life for good. I started having periodic shooting eye pains as well which added to the anxiety. However, I went to the opticians and was given the all clear. After this I told myself to relax and began to feel a bit better.....the pain in my eyes eased up.
BUT.....in the 2nd week more symptoms started to follow. I became light headed and weak, periodic ear pain, changes in heart rate and had cold shakes many times during the day. I also began to experience chest pains and pressure on my head developed. It's been a horrible chain reaction, as the symptoms intensified so did the anxiety and that led to me having horrible nightmares and difficulties getting a good night's sleep
.
I can't believe I'm saying this but my body shape is also slightly out of line. The head and neck are titled slightly away from body. And that's not something im imaging, because my friends have said that when they look closely they can spot it too. When I do force my body to align itself properly, I feel discomfort in my chest. The pressure on the head is still there, especially coming from the back. Sometimes when I bend down or I move my jaw when eating.....I don't know it's really difficult to explain but I experience pressure changes on my head and things just feel wrong.
I suppose my question is........is this sequence of symptoms all to do with my stress/anxiety and my mind?.....Or has the marijuana created all or parts of this and messed up my body?
On a broader note.......should people like myself with OCD/anxiety brain chemistry smoke marijuana. Are the risks greater for us?
I'm a 17 year old girl. Im 5/7 and 120 lbs. I don't normally smoke weed I've maybe done it around 4 to 5 times in my life and 2 of those times I had bad relationships but it's been 6 days since I smoked last and I don't feel normal! I feel numb and disconnected I also forget a lot. But yet at times i have moments of clarity. I talked to the people who partake in smoking with me and they feel fine however they also have a high tolerance for it.
View 2 RepliesI've been smoking a blunt or more everyday since last summer. and its time to stop. i haven't smoked in 4 days and i feel like im going crazy! i feel really depressed and angry and tired. im kinda scared to admit it but i feel retarded. straight up retarded, like when i hangout with my friends i feel like i don't belong there and i feel like im doing EVERYTHING wrong.. before i smoked i didn't feel this way once.
my question is are theses symptoms normal? and how long till im "normal" again?
i've started smoking weed at age 11 and i've quit for awhile then started again in 6th grade and smoked throughout the 8th grade and im in 9th now it feels like life isn't real i've been acting different i looked it up its called derealization is there any way to fix this or is it just in my head i really need help i never felt like this before its been happening for a while.
View 2 Repliesi smoked some weed with my friends. this my second time, but this time when i got home i suddenly felt so weird. now i feel like everything is fake, im body sometimes goes num. i had a panic attack. i went to the hospital but didn't tell them that i smoked so the doctors didn't do nothing. i swear this is the last time ill ever smoke please somebody give some advice. im only 14 i want to live life to the fullest.
I know the title is a lot to take in but I am hear because it is going on 3 months that I have been going through this. I smoke weed not for the first time or anything but in a while. And I felt like I was actually dying. Now I am not dead at all but this sh*t had me scared to death. And now it's been 3 months and my thoughts won't go back to normal. And I am scared. It's like I can't be happy because what if I just drop dead and die. And I am scared that I will drop dead at anytime. And then I had thoughts like is it really my time to die and I say no. I have to much to live for.
I know I sound like I am whining but I am on here looking for someone who has been through this. Someone who has had these thoughts, panic attacks, head aches, and chest pains. And how they dealt with it and/or got over it. I will also keep posting my progress if its get good or bad. Because I seen some forums and they just stop messaging back and I was scared what happened to them through time.
I smoke weed once a month or so. I only started recently and yesterday I had some and I got some weird effects. My vision was like everything was sliding around and I was forgetting pretty much everything every 15 seconds or so. Just details though - I could still remember vaguely what was happening. I always have troubles with my memory when I get high but this is the first time it has been that bad and the first time my vision has gone strange. Is this normal or what? I still enjoyed it and it was just like being high normally, but I figured it would be good to see if anyone thinks the side-effects I was getting are a concern.
View 1 RepliesDoes THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) the psychoactive chemical in cannabis sativa cause diarrhoea as well? I have no idea if thisis the case as all I know is that every time I use Cannabis, well I have to make several urgent detours to the loo!
If not THC, then what else could be in CS that would cause diarrhoea? (Some people claim that they experience real bad cases of the runs upon discontinuing the use of pot. Now in my case as I do NOT smoke the stuff, as there is already enough air pollution to go around, why pollute the lungs even further? Therefore I eat it in certain baked goods such as the old fashioned Alice B. Toklas brownies. (Could this be the cause of diarrhoea)?
Heat intolerance is one of the symptoms of MS but does anyone find it's the cold that makes slurred speech,bad vision & slow movement worse?
View 19 RepliesI been an occasional weed smoker for about two years now. 3 weeks ago I started feeling anxiety while I was sober. I had a few bad trips before , I'd say about 3-4 and I just thought everyone experiences them since it is a DRUG. The one time I took some really potent stuff and I smoked the next morning while I still felt high. It was a really good high then it went downhill, that same week I started vomiting and feeling a high feeling when i was sober. At first i thought it would leave by the day but it lasted a good 8 days before I started feeling better. About 4 days later I took a little hit and it was in a closed area so it was a form of hotboxing so I might've took more than I planned, also I got faded with some drinks that night with some friends. I started having the same anxiety/panicky feeling the next day and I'm still feeling them wondering whats wrong with me. Its feel like forever and the days seem longer since I can only get maybe 1 hour of sleep. It seems worst this time around and I feel the same detachment just with more worry because it happening again so close to the last time. My scheduled appointment with my doctor in in about a week and that seems so far because i don't know how I can keep up this endurance. I noticed a few things help me like music, talking , and even forums like this. Hopefully I start feeling better.
View 5 RepliesI'm currently sitting in my room and trying to figure out what to do with my smoking habit. I have been smoking almost every day for the last 2 years and it seems like a lot has changed. Before smoking Weed I was a great person. Kind,sincere,sociable, funny, i had tons of friends. No it seems like everything is the complete opposite. I've had a few other things happen in my life but at this point I am no longer concerned with those issues. 2 years ago my parents moved to TN and then decided to divorce and I was left all the way up north alone. Those things I have learned to deal with. I think my weed smoking has gotten worse overtime. I don't have many friends, people think I am weird, I get mad at situations I never did before. I have completely changed and I would give anything to be back where I was. I just lost my my girlfriend of 2 1/2 years and I think it has all been a result of my horrible habit. I never want to do anything, I never want to talk and it never was like that. It seems like it has thrown my emotions out of wack and I've become a horrible person. I just want a little encouragement and someone to tell me everything will be alright. Weed has changed me for the worst and I just want my life back and my gf.
View 3 RepliesI'm 21 years old and yesterday (sept. 28) was my first time I smoked weed and I took 4 puffs of it with two other friends. I had this horrible trip and really do not want to ever smoke weed ever again. It was scary and I felt like I was really going to die. I went to sleep and had my full 8 hours of sleep and woke today (sept. 29) feeling better, but I still feel strange. I can hardly concentrate. I'm experiencing paranoia and anxiety and according to some posts, I guess it's from the THC level intake. I probably have low tolerance since It's my first time smoking it. I'm really scared that whatever it is I'm feeling or going through is permanent. Should I call the hospital? Will I be charged with marijuana use?
View 3 RepliesOkay so i smoked weed for the first time at a party but i only took two hits and i did not feel high and then one month later i smoked weed again only took two hits and i did not feel high again but that night i got drunk for the first time as well. (With four beers to be specific) i went to bed that night and everything was okay until about 4am i woke up because i felt sick so i went to the bathroom to see it i needed to throw up but nothing came out so i just went back to bed and felt fine for the rest of the night. The next morning i woke up and i felt very weird i can't quite pinpoint the feeling but it was weird and i would get mini anxiety attacks for the rest of the day. Along with that i would also kind of feel out of breath when i was sitting down or just walking but i ignored it. That night i felt very sick and i felt a feeling around my chest area long with anxiety i also kept feeling like i was gonna throw up and by body would suddenly get very hot. Then i got a big anxiety attack that lasted about five minutes. I just thought i was hungover but when i asked my friends they reassured me i only had four beers and 20 hours later i should not be feeling hungover. For the next three days everything was normal except for feeling out of breath a lot when i was doing simple activities. Then a few days later i was laying down on the couch watching a scary movie with my family and suddenly when the movie got very intense i got a huge anxiety attack which caused my heart to race and me to feel like i was on the verge of passing out. Afterwords i felt very tired so i fell asleep but then again in the middle of the night i had another anxiety attack. Ever since that day i have not felt normal again. I always have a sensation in my chest that causes anxiety and depression. It has been a year since that day and i can honestly say i have not gotten better. I can not watch scary movies because my anxiety gets the best of me i have lost a lot of my friends because the depression has caused me to be uninterested in everything around me. I used to be such a happy person and so full of life but now i cannot remember the last time i was happy. I always try to focus on the positive but this feeling of anxiety has taken over my life. What can i do and what could this possibly be?
View 1 Repliesi smoke weed on a pretty regular basis and last night i smoked with a group of people and afterwards me and several people in the room all started smoking cigarettes in the same room. it was a garage with the side door open. about half way through my cigarette i put it out and me and my friend were leaving to go home and as i was walking through the house i started feeling dizzy and was holding my face and without knowing ran into someone and fell on the floor blacking out for maybe 5 seconds and then got up and felt extremely hot for a few minutes and then i was fine. what could have possibly happened?
View 14 Repliesokay so i was smoking weed in my friends porch last night and i didn't really even smoke a lot but then all of a sudden i started hearing ringing and it blocked out people's voices then my vision went black and the next thing i remember was hearing people say are you okay? and then i started seeing the people about 10 seconds later, and i didn't even believe that happened for the longest time. but after that happened and i sat down i felt fine the rest of the night, and i don't think it was laced or anything because no one else got like that and everyone else felt fine, but would you know what could've happened?
View 2 RepliesI am 16 years old and I have never smoked Weed before. Well once and I didn't get high. Anyway, I have Pectus Excavatum and I am scared to try Weed. I know I should not be smoking it since my condition, but I just want to try it once because I want to see what it is like. I do not intend on smoking it often, if at all. Can somebody share your experiences with smoking Weed and having Pectus Excavatum or something similar? Thank you.
View 3 Replies4.12.2012 I smoked ak-47 and it was just awesome. But I freaked out a little and it got me depersonalization and derealization. Depersonalization is almost insensible. And derealization - I think I've already been feeling like this, in childhood.
I also smoked weed in 21.12. and 31.12.. It was not as awesome as it used to be, while high, I was little scared that I might stay in dr forever.
Sucks. I have not visited psychiatrist yet, I'm going to do this month. I really don't think it's any bad (while reading other's stories, I must say my story is peaceful towards theirs'), I don't have panic attacks or anxiety (just ordinary problems such as school). It's just dr/dp.
Okay, I expect it will take up to 2 months before I will be completely healthy.
Will I ever be able to smoke weed again? (and not getting into those dr/dp things)
This is a bit lengthy so I will try to shorten it the best I can. Please note that this is dire. About ten months ago my boyfriend and I rekindled our friendship and we ended up being together. At first, before we started dating he was into drinking and smoking (weed), but I refused to date anyone who has done those things because I personally couldn't handle being around stressful environments, (I am diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar 1).
So, he claimed he came to stop smoking and drinking if it meant us being together. Through the months, we had terrible, terrible fights - usually I blamed myself because I become manic on occasion - but as of just a week ago he's been acting even far more stranger. We usually never go anywhere without the other, but he started talking to a guy friend at work he met no longer than five days ago and he was invited to a party. He told me he was going to go whether I wanted him too or not, so I asked if I could go along and he was fine with it but demanding I act appropriate. (Which I am not all that bad around public).
Before we went we got into a fight, he shouted at me that he never got alone time and I asked if he'd choose his new friend over me. He said, he's going to the party no matter what and I was going to leave...But then he broke down in tears. Later on that night, he told me he wanted me to accept him for himself. He claimed that his true self was the guy he was before dating me, the one who was drinking and smoking. He said he didn't need to drink but he missed the smoking. That he needs it in order to keep positive and stress free so he doesn't yell at me. Breaking every moral I had, I agreed to let him do it - we went home so he can go smoke but I didn't want to have to see it so I tried to leave. He came to me before I left and said he didn't do it and he was sorry. Sorry that he choose the party over me and sorry for yelling at me and making me cry. He claimed he didn't know what he was doing or why.
Eventually through the week, he promised he wouldn't do it again until yesterday. He called me after work and said he needed to go to his friends house to say goodbye because he was moving. He demanded I stay home. I wanted to go with, I was already going through a manic episode and needed, yes, need, to be watched over. (if left alone I can get a little suicidal, not meaning too.) He refused to let me go. My friend, whose my other caretaker, came over to find me at a complete distraught. She was angry and took me over to his house just in time to catch him before he was going to leave.
When he saw me, he burst into tears, saying he was sorry but he needed to tell me something; that he had been still smoking through the entire relationship. He claimed he was trying to stop the whole time, that at first he was only taking a puff once to twice every week until recently where he went to once every week and that every time we got into a fight was because he hadn't take a recent puff. He said that the recent fights we got into were because he was scared of telling me about his smoking and how he didn't quit while the entire time I thought he had. He broke down and is begging for my help, thinking I can help him through but I have no idea HOW too.
I suffer from severe manic episodes, and if I am unlucky, psychotic ones also. We have little to no money at all, even for me to go see a psychiatrist for the meds I need for my mental conditions. I will not leave him...but I so desperately need help to help him.
I'v smoked pot on and off for about 40 yrs, I've never had a pot withdrawal that I can ever remember or known anyone who has. but I do have hard times sleeping, eating etc. normally..
other than the occasional paranoia from "smoking too much" it has helped my appetite, stress levels etc. My cognitive skills are still the same as they've always been when I don't smoke.
I have a bunch of problems the pot helps to mask. If you want a clear mind, Then Don't Smoke it! or quit! other than that I smell a lot of possible psychological or physical problems that have been suddenly realized by people quitting? how can you have a withdrawal from a non-addictive substance?
a couple of times when i've been smoking weed i've collapsed and properly blacked out the first time was when i was quite young and was smoking hash and the past few times have been been in the past year and has happened around 3 times all 3 times i hadn't eaten much that day apart from some breakfast and I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it but i just wanted to see if it has happened to anyone else and do they know why or anything of the sort
