anxiety or am i insane?

Interesting. People getting anxiety attacks while on pot. I use pot to prevent or stop my extreme bouts of anxiety, and it's the only thing that works for me. I always get anxiety the most when sober and stressed, and/or my health issues flare up and make me get sick.

Everybody is different. However, if things have got real crazy and I'm in the middle of an extreme anxiety attack or manic attack, to avoid doing something stupid, I have to smoke a huge amount of pot, just a bowl or joint won't help when it's gone too far. Every once in a while I have to take an upper like Adderall or Oxycodone with my pot when the pot doesn't work good enough.

Yeah, definitely NOT insane!

I've dealt with similar symptoms over the years and haven't had much luck with meds. Over the course of years, I have become better at shifting my focus to something that doesn't give me anxiety. Even if it's sitting in front of the television and watching Karen Walker insult people on Will & Grace. I try to keep a couple episodes on my DVR at all times At first, refocusing my attention on something else was almost impossible but over time I got better at it.

I also have to say, if you live in the world today and DO NOT have some type of anxiety then I think you are nuts. I think anxiety in today's world means you are sane because the world IS nuts.
