It was a weird moment because I remember EVERYTHING that happened to me while I was tripping out. I couldn't stand straight and was tipping over and my eyes were rolling up to the sky the whole time. Past events in my life were linking up and it all started to hit me. It was like watching my whole life past by to this very day. Hearing the same song for 3 hours and irregular chest pain..... started to panic because i couldnt get up o.O
wtf did i smoke? from a big ass pipe / puff as well....
| Interesting to read this. I too had an incident like yours about 2.5 years ago at a friends house. Full fledged panic attack. I didn't even know what was happening to me. Went outside as I felt dizzy and eventually fainted. Hit my head pretty hard too. Woke up about 15 seconds later and went into my car to sit and chill for a minute. It eventually passed. Nothing caused it. Nothing weird or different was going on. No stress or concern going on for me at the time. It was really fucked up. I would consider myself a seasoned smoker(20+ years with a 4 year sobriety break) so I was baffled as to why this happened.
I ended up quitting for a full year to see if it made a difference. I guess it did a little bit but that nervous panic attack feeling has followed me ever since. Worried that I would pass out at any given moment. Fight or flight kicks in hard at times. Like I'm going to run somewhere or just start throwing haymakers. Did I fry my brain or something? I tried meds but I didn't like the medicated feeling(I ain't really a pill guy) so then I tried cognitive therapy convinced that it was just all in my head. It helped a bit but my life is completely different now when compared to 2.5 years ago. Nowadays I just blaze at home alone when I'm by myself(after wife and baby go to bed). It's nice to blaze then chill and watch a movie or play vids. I won't blaze socially at all anymore because of what happened though. I still like blazing but recognize that it may be having ill effects on me now that I'm older and have blazed for many years.
I'm on the fence about just saying fuck it and giving it up altogether but I like it still. We'll see.
@Verdasco: I don't think you smoked something laced as it sounds like you may have had a similar experience to mine. Ulic brought up some great points that I can certainly relate to in terms of anxiety, what brings it on and what can be done about it.
Blaze on friends :hat: |
