I am going through a very hard time right now with what I think is OCD/Generalized anxiety dissorder. I havent been to a psychiatrist yet though. It all started this last Feb when I tried weed for the first time. I smoked way too much for my first time, got high and had a very bad panic attack. It felt like I was losing control, I felt like I was going crazy. It practically traumatized me. For about 2 weeks after that...I was not in good shape. I was constantly nervous that the pot had done something to me. I couldn't relax for nothing. Even when I woke up in the morning I was nervous. I was afraid to face another day of constant worry. It was constantly on my mind.."What if the pot did something to me?" "What if I'm going crazy?" "What if this feeling never goes away?" Me constantly worrying was so bad to the point where I was having panic attacks. After those two weeks...things pretty much went back to normal for about a month..no nervousness, no panic attacks and no obsessive thoughts. But just recently it has come back with a vengence. I am in so much pain mentally..this anxiety and these obsessive thoughts are taking over my life. Constantly worrying if I have a mental illness, or worrying that I'm going crazy. Worry consumes me. My mom is getting me on Prozac because she said that it is a miracle drug and that it helps OCD and anxiety. I have been on it before for mild depression and it helped big time...I'm just hoping that it helps my anxiety. I just want my life back, I want things to go back to the way they were. I've always been a very sane, happy person up until I tried pot for the first time and had that panic attack. I'm very scared. Can someone please tell me whats happening to me?

I had a similar experience while on ecstacy 6 years ago. It was very traumatic. Probably more intense than what your experiencing. I obsessed about the experience and was also obsessed with becoming mentally ill and was afraid that I was losing my mind. Three years later I was diagnosed with ocd and generalized anxiety disorder and was put on zoloft and klonapin. The combination of drugs and seeing a doctor who assured me that I wasn't going crazy changed my life. I suggest you get some professional help and maybe inquire about xanax or some other form of benzo just to be on for a short amount of time to relieve you of your anxiety right away. YOU ARE NOT GOING CRAZY! If your were going crazy you wouldn't be worried about it. you would think you were completely sane. You need to believe that, because that seems like that is causing most of your anxiety,as that was the case with me. Keep your head up and you will get through this with the help of a professional. take care
