People with anxiety or panic attacks ....

There's two really important things you should do.


- Exercise as much as you can. It really does alter your brain chemistry and blunts depression and anxiety.

- Mindfulness, it works. You can google a lot about it but in short, you should neither engage nor totally ignore an abstract thought. You can avoid a lot of guessing and imagining the worst case scenario by doing so. Also, be sure to take deep breaths and always be aware of at least two of your senses. If you can feel your feet on the ground and you really listen to the birds chirping and you are looking at the sky, you can really crowd out stressful thoughts.


Best of luck to you.
 
that mindfulness tactic works. Planned ignoring does wonders. Thx for that response.... Repped
 
I will definitely look into the mindfulness concept. I used to work with kids and they always learned DBT skills (dialectal behavior therapy) to cope with certain emotions and urges, not sure if it's similar but I'll definitely give a look into it. Thanks. Anxiety gets old quick.
 
I don't smoke, but I wouldn't totally negate the positive effects weed could have on anxiety in the short term, similar to a benzodiazepine. Obviously you'd have to use the right strain with a sedative effect to treat anxiety.
 
Exactly. I guess we'll start hearing more about its treatment value as it becomes more "socialized."

I was recently diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and they want to put me on Zoloft but I haven't taken it yet

Zoloft can help if you are going through something extreme , but beware its side effects: increased thoughts of suicide, increased anxiety, and others.

It can help, but anxiety will still appear and possibly be amplified.
 
Just smoked for the first time in years last night... damn near turned me into a paranoid rage.. never again never again.
 
Weed has its positives & negatives. The other day I burned some after something (-) was bubbling in my mind. Thought bout it and let it fly over my head. I went to grab the lighter and forgot where I put it.

How old are you???

I started smoking weed in 1999.

Here we are in 2016...No it isn't the same weed.

This new stuff is stronger or the stuff from 1999 was weak reggie or I'm older now and just can't handle doing simple tasks such as driving while high anymore.

The medical grade I was getting in Miami was powerful...to the point you were better off not driving or doing anything serious while high.

The highs are deeper more intense and last longer....seriously damn near out of my mind.

The strand of Sour Diesel I was getting was no joke man!

Super paranoia and anxiety but the actual high was amazing.

The best bud I actually had was when I lived in Thailand..believe it or not.

It was the perfect balance!

Never had any sort of anxiety etc. from weed. I vaporize daily (struggle being around smoke since my lung surgery) for chronic pain relief, plus it helps me sleep. It does make me pretty drowsy but indica strains seem to work best for pain relief.

I only use it a little while before bed because I can't really function properly on it. 
 
I used to smoke week every day, all day. Got a real bad flu once and it knocked me out for about a week, i couldnt even smoke.

As i started to feel better, i decided to smoke a little. BAD MOVE. I had been drinking thera flu prior to smoking. Told my doctor about it and she said thats a dangerous combo. Thera flu opens up the lungs so the weed just went straight through me. My head felt like a heart, my chest was killing me, my heart raced and i felt like i was going to have a heart attack. Not sure why i didn't have my girl take me to the emergency room. I really should have. Slept it off.

So after that incident, i stopped smoking weed. It scared the hell out of me. I tried it a week later, very little, but started to feel funny immediately. So i said no more. Probably the best thing to happen to me (kicking weed). I was so unmotivated at the time.

This was a somewhat helpful thread.

My doctor prescribed Paxil for me today. I've been suffering from anxiety for about the last 3 years, but it got more severe the past year. Was prescribed Lexipro 3 years ago but said I'm going to try and beat this on my own. Its all just in the head, right? That didn't help. Finally had enough lately and said i need to go see my doctor again. I have a high pressure job and because of it, my anxiety started to affect regular parts of life, which i can't have with kids and a wife.

Reading up on Paxil is freaking me out. A lot of the side affects have me reconsidering. And i can;t. I know many friends who take something to help, and they love it. But i'm the kind of guy who hates any type of medicine, even aspirin.

Anyone have experience with Paxil?
 
Ehhh after experiencing psychosis 2x in 2 years im done with the green. I was heavy on sour d. Tried it again after a month i went thru psychosis and crap had me scared out my mind. Flushed it down the toilet :lol: Willing to try indica tho
 
The thing with the green is, once you go through a "bad high" experience, it is really hard to come back to smoking psychologically. :lol:

You gotta take an extended break, work on your mental state, talk the problems out and choose a weaker strain. Make sure you seek guidance on the strain.


I am not sure where the green market is going, it looks like the growers goal is to get max amount THC %. This will only excite the super stoner and not your average joe. :smh:

Make sure you are aware of any mental related sickness within your family.

for the first go around i switched the green for the synthetic for some reasons and after months of going hard on it went thru psychosis.. hearing voices seeing people and feeling like im arnold in total recall or jim in trueman show. And so much other stuff happen. After i was good , a year later decided to do the green and everything was good for 7 months until it hit me again, but i do remember i didnt sleep the night before, stress at work , a injury in the leg. But it was a 3 week process to hit me and wen it did i know i wasnt smoking at the moment. Was in the hospital for 2 weeks. Try weed a month later and it was sour d and start gettn schizophrenic.. and thats wen i stopped a couple months ago.. but damn i want to smoke soo bad,, i do some stuff that gets me creative as hell and now it takes me days to finish instead of hours :smh:
