severe paranoia

well i didnt know where i should post this or talk to about this so i decided my fellow icmaggers would be good to go to :whistling: well for the past 6 months to a year ive been having severe paranoia( i think) mostly when i smoke...dont get me wrong weed use to my life daily thing loved getting new strains to smoke n test and i stilll do smoke alot...but its like 1 out of every 3 highs is good and the other ones are terrible. so let me tell you what happens. sometimes i think a rash is forming in my throat and i cant breathe, sometimes i think im having a heartattack or just gunna pass out, i also get sharp pains in my head sometimes and think somethings wrong with my head...i know for a fact this isnt normal..idk if its just extreme paranoia or real so ive just been shruggin it off..before this started happening i was a really outgoing person and i was loud if anything but i increasingly find my self to be so shy i wont go out and talk to people to get jobs then other days ill wake up and ill feel like my old self and ill be as social as ive ever been. i even find it hard to talk to my own family sometimes. ive also lost alot of friends cuz of this whole deal:hide: thats what i feel like..ive been to doctors about my throat and i even got my tonsil removed but its still happening..they just keep saying its allergies or something else. has anyone ever experienced anything like this??:dunno: i doubt it but i gotta do something this aint cuttin it no more..and also i get rashes randomly and my eyelids swell up in the mornings alot...ive assumed it was allergies but ive been poppin benadryl and other meds like candy..any1 that can chime in it would be much appreciated..i hope i can go back to enjoying this amazing plant as much as i once did

man cut back the smoking if its like that.

the only thing that gets me out of bed in the morning is knowing i can take a nice milky bong hit.


i get paranoid too sometimes while smoking but thats only if i get super keyeed and then throw myself into a very chaotic situation like schoool. i used to have terrible highs when i would smoke then go to class so i stopped smoking before school. when im high i hate being around lots of yappity sober people.

Seriously, man. What would it have to take for you to stop smoking? Seizures?! If these symptoms only happen as a result of you smoking...STOP SMOKING.

absolut take a breake,and see what,s it,s happening.Think your will start to feel good after an week,but irretable and without sleep the first 2-3 week,s.When your first have started to have your concentration about you mabye will feel,the great starting to go of ? or am I wrong ? it,s your life,you only got one.You can always started smoke again,but be repare you could started feel the same feeling again,and it,s feeling more incoming,because you have take an breake..

Yea man just take a break for a couple weeks. It sounds like you had a couple of bad highs so now everytime you smoke again your brain is associating the smoke with a negative feeling. I'm not really sure how to explain it or if that makes any sense maybe someone else can help. I know one time while on adderall and smoking my heart was beating so fast and it freaked me out real bad and everytime I smoked after that i'd have a negative vibe and my heart would speed up. I would try not thinkin about my bad high but it was like always in the back of my mind i guess idk but I eventually got over it.

the only time in life i was extremely paranoid was due to a severe car accident and developing a chronic pain condition. I think paranoi goes hand in hand with stress. Probally not the pot being the cause but pot could be the trigger.
Check into your life and see if anything is bothering you. Breakup with x, financial prob's, immediate family issues...
If your having troubles dealing with a large personal issue than the parania could be linked to your stresses and the type of pot your smoking is mixing poorly with your subconcious.
On the upside my paranoia went away as soon as my life stresses did as well.
Talk to your doctor that's what they are there for. Unless your doc has a bias with mj.

You know my friend, i'm happy to say I was like that too

I'm usually like that.. today I wasn't tho

and in the words of bob marley
"smoking reveals you to yourself"

to me
it just put forth my worries/fears etcetera

it's normal
life can be overwhelming

if you take a break you can see if it's the weed
plus taking a break sort of, for me, sort of healed the mind

do exercise, eat healthy

go see a therapist maybe ? I know these can be expensive
talk to your friends/family about your worries, sometimes it makes you see if they are legit, wich they may or may not be.
there's a way to approach life (attitude), one that doesn't involve being scared of everything/being paranoid all the time

but yeah sometimes it's the constant smoking (smoking isn't for everyone)

Have you gotten a new dog or cat?
I had similar problems when my girlfriend got a new cat. I couldn't breathe and my eyes would puff up and itch, especially after smoking. The feeling of not being able to breathe might be causing the panic and paranoia.
After I got an asthma inhaler and started vaping, almost all of my symptoms went away.

This is the best advice. Smoking clearly isn't working for you. Best of luck.
