Thought it would be a good idea to make an anxiety support thread for.. Well, support. This can be a place to talk about anxiety and a place to come if you're in the middle of a panic attack. Usually when I have a panic attack I try to call a friend and it helps a lot. Unfortunately I don't currently have any since I'm about to move to Denver. Maybe we can start a little group inside grasscity. I think reading and understanding other people's problems could help my/our own. I plan on writing out what I'm going through later tonight. I just smoked for the first time in a while and I'm trying to just enjoy the high. Btw, joy division sounds fucking amazing right now. Love you blades!
I'm making the jump to this thread. The ground seems stable, atmospheric pressure normalising. I think its safe guys.
I have a cousin in Denver.. not trying to be pushy just let me know if you want to meet him he's a glass blower at hand of man glass...and a smoker..so maybe he can help...ck out leafly for some great strains to help. Be safe
I have bad anxiety i see myself as a loser,failure fucked up so many time in my life i cant count them all on my fingers and everytime i mess up it makes it worze everywhere i go it feels like people are laughing at me and makeing fun of me judgeing me i feel like i dont belong on this planet... dead grower
I think one of the things that is making me have anxiety after smoking is i feel the need to check my pulse. I smoked a bowl of some mids and i think my heart rate is probably around 90, standing up right now. I used this heart rate app on my phone to check it 3 days ago when I was high and big mistake.. It was like 100(bcuz I was nervous) and right when I saw 100 I started having a panic attack and i bet my heart rate was like 130 during the attack. I don't even want to think how high it could have been. Doesn't the heart rate increase thing start to go away once you get used to smoking again?
Ok so I made myself check it while standing up. First I got 75 then I got 90 and I'm still sort of high. Guess I have nothing to worry about.
I havr had massive anxeity for almost 15 years and I used to check my pulse same as you .... huge mistake you need to break that habbit, best thing ( besides meds ) for me was walking my dog. Just get out to the fresh air walk around let your mind slow down a little bit and spend some time with mans best friend. 30 min walk around my neighboorhood and my breathing was back to normal pulse down my mind wasnt going 100000000 miles anymore. You have to just take dep slow breaths and realize your mind is doing all this to you. I know its shit man they used to leave my body physically exhausted from the stress.

That's a good idea. I've really been wanting a dog lately too. I have to admit it but when I had really bad anxiety I was checking my pulse and blood pressure constantly, all day.. Probably 30x a day. I was driving myself crazy and my body felt like shit. I don't check my blood pressure anymore and don't check my pulse as often either.
How are my anxious blades doing? Man I wish anxiety didn't affect every part of my life. What sucks is I'm trying to buy some bud but no ones hitting me back, which is just fueling my anxiety. I know it is not a big deal and that I don't need it. But I cant help but think about it, not so much wanting to smoke but more so annoyed and anxious about not getting a response you know. Hope everyone is doing ok, and want people to know that this forum will be a safe place to talk about your struggle with life.
I've had several serious anxiety attacks. They occured a day or so after coming down off of an unmentionable drug - usually in the middle of the night. I deliberately fuk up my neurotransmitter control systems then wonder why I get shit for thoughts? Nope - I know the deal. But I'm in a minority. I think vast majority of people get anxiety attacks due to having naturally occuring neuro-electrochemistry issues. I'm lucky - all I have to do is not do what I know produces them. The ones I've had made me feel like I was suffocating. I got this feeling like I think I would feel if I were stuck under water and knew I was gonna drown. I had to get up and turn on lights and walk around. Laying back down would just bring it back on. Certain kinds of music would seem to make it worse. Especially stuff that was naturally emotional, like semntemental songs - even all instrumental. Fuking up my dopamine levels and its reuptake mechanisms can have some bad side effects when things are getting rebalanced afterwards.
Ihad over 10 hospital visits and even blacked out and drove off the road from hyperventilating once man so I know your pain. Exercise helps a ton so does having ppl around man. Bud just positive and know we are all here and have been through the same things and still alive to help other ppl through it. Pm me if you ever need some 1 on 1 talk. sent from the mind of a ninja using Grass city forums
Suffered from social anxiety since I can remember, Been having panic attacks off and on for the past few years.
I have atleast 4 anxiety attacks a day and they vary in severity due to bi polar and psychotic disorder along with ptsd from situations in my childhood and adolescense. Hell i've had ones so bad i thought i was dying. I used to feel like a victim and curse the world but i've come to terms with it and just fight through it everyday rather than be negative. Someday maybe it will all go away but until then all i can do is fight and be positive. For all of you suffering from anxiety out there take it from someone who is legally disabled due to it that it does get better. Life goes on, therapy, counseling, doctors teach you ways and lessons on how to deal with it and cope. It's a life long process getting rid of it but there is hope! If i can survive this anyone can.Never give up hope!
Wow man, I'm really sorry you have to go through that shit. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Have you ever been checked o for any defientcies? Maybe magnesium?
So I took a few hits and took a shower you do you guys know what I thought? If someone offered me a million dollars to smoke 2 big bowls out of a bong I'd be scared shitless as sad as that sounds.. I'd be scared I'd get so baked I'd have the worst panic attack and have a heart attack. Basically, I worry I'd lose control completely. Back in the day before this anxiety, when I first discovered weed, I would smoke 3-5 bowls of medical in a row to get that blasted... Now I'm scared to and I hit it like a bitch. How can I overcome this?! I want to be the guy I used to be.. This anxiety has ruined my self confidence. I'm like a slave to my own mind. I wish I could give more advice to you guys but I'm honestly in no shape to give much advice when I'm suffering with this myself and have no idea how to rid myself of it. I'm hoping some therapy can make the anxiety attacks stop completely so I can get baked like I used to. It blows to want to get baked but at the same time you're too nervous to.
