I figured out what what causing my anxiety!
 

Smoking too much pot! Ever since I quit I haven't had one anxiety attack and have felt great every day. :thumbsup

I guess it affects some people differently because some of my friends have anxiety when they DON'T smoke. Weird stuff.

my friends gf was the same way, was getting super paranoid all the time, and she smoked multiple times a day, she quit and fine now.

Yeah I can agree with that ;-)

Yeah I had some friends that used to get very paranoid...

Jman hit me up when you get a min :)

Yes, that is true works differently for every person.

Nah. I think bush and his buddies are putting something into it to make you that way!


Hahahahahahaha

do you take any medication for your anxiety ?

that is the same reason i quit nearly ten years ago. last month i smoked a joint with a friend and freaked the fuck out.

still has the same effect.

...and so what's the best thing to do now Rob?

I have social anxiety so it's not easily medicated without having to be loopy 24-7. Its more of a mental thing hence why smoking pot attributed to it being intense. The only difference with Anxiety and Social Anxiety is with Anxiety you have anxiety attacks. With social anxiety you get panic attacks and usually in public places. Some can argue that both are the same but I can attest to the fact that they're not.

i get anxiety from being around people. they're unpredictable, (some are) scary looking, and men always seem to try to mack.

When I was 18 I was stabbed 3 times (in the chest, the stomach, and the upper thigh) and it was outside of a local theater/mall on a Friday night. After I got stabbed I saw a shrink and he told me that eventually I would suffer from post traumatic stress disorder and fear of public places. I didn't believe a word of it but now, 13 years later I'm starting to see why he was the doctor and I was the punk kid that didn't listen.

i was jumped before (downtown pittsburgh) when i was 16 by 3 skinny little white girls who thought they knew shit about jumping someone, luckily, i was taking kickboxing at the time and was able to throw them around a bit enough to scare them away but i'll tell ya what, that was THEE scariest fucking thing to go through!! Imagine just walking....minding your biz...and BAM, 3 people just start attacking you & trying to rob you. You dont know if they have a gun, knives, bats...dont know how many of them they're are (cuz they all came at me at once, didnt know there was 3 till after the fact)...thats some scary shit.

but since then, i've been paranoid & get anxiety around people i dont know. it doesnt show (i dont think, anyways) but i have a hard time dealing. amazing how 1 thing in life can fuck you up. :helpme :2 cents: :( :Oh crap

I have the same problem, but the bong calls to me... Soooccckks..

Same effect on me, but when i quit everything went right. Im glad im over it.

I might have to give that a try.. cut down on the pot
