Marijuana has pretty much destroyed me…HELP?
So I recently quit smoking pot (I have smoked every day since the beginning of the year) and I was wondering if sleeplessness was a part of the withdrawal symptoms. It’s been like this for 3 nights and I HATE IT because I have to get a lot done during the day and when I lose sleep I can’t get things done and I do badly at work.
Also, I heard that you lose weight when you quit smoking pot…is that true?
ALSO (sorry), I’ve been very nauseas today and couldnt get off the couch cause it was so horrible and I couldnt breathe as well…is that another symptom?
Help?

ive quit smoking marijuana and im pretty sure im experiencing anxiety disorder?
im a teenager who recently started using marijuana with my buddies. i have normally been a happy person and no real problems, like im not a troublemaker or a basket case or an asshole or anything. but i recently started getting into weed at around late october of 08, and i was having a great time with my friends, i got more familiarized with it and kinda lowered my guard towards it. i eventually began smoking on the weekdays after school, which was something i wouldnt normally feel comfortable with. and after awhile i got more comfortable with it and started using it more often. then at around march i decided id stop, and thursday was my last day. i was still interested in it during the weekend until i had something that i think it mightve been a small panic attack on sunday. (and since the ‘panic attack?’ i had not wanted to smoke anymore) i felt like i was going to pass out or something, and my heart was beating fast and i was trying to ‘hold on’. that lasted about 10-15 seconds or so and i kept thinking what it was on the long ride home. i had trouble sleeping that night becuase it was on my mind too much, and in the morning i was still feeling pretty bad, until i went to school and i started feeling a little better. when i got home i kinda felt bad and it mustve been because i had nothing to do and my mind wasnt occupied. that week i started feeling better and the weekend following i was almost feeling normal again, and i wrecked on my bike and i told everyone cause it was funny, but i heard about the actress who had an incident while skiing and i got scared and worried for about 3 days until i went to school, but the anxiety had felt worse after that. it started to get better over time, and about 4 weeks since i stopped smoking, i was researching on the internet and discovered that i probably had anxiety disorder. the symptoms and thoughts were mostly what i was feeling. and ive been feeling better lately, but im not 100% better yet. i was experiencing headaches, dizzyness, alot of things worried/scared me for no real reason, i couldnt stop thinking about it. my thoughts are that it might not have just been the withdrawal, but a change of lifestyle may have made me feel weird, because when i smoked with my friends, we laughed at everything and thought about weed alot, and had a fascination in trippy and psychadelic things. and now that i dont even want to smoke anymore, that lifestyle doesnt interest me. i feel emotionally numb sometimes and the symptoms have lessened lately, but the anxiety hasnt. i want to return to my old lifestyle where im not anxious, depressed, and bored. ive been getting better lately though, and im going to see a therapist soon. i sometimes feel like i cant do anything enjoyable until i get better, and feelings and emotions are sometimes stronger than they normally would be, like fear, worry, sadness, boredom, and whatnot. im sometimes afraid of doing things that i like to do as a way to get away from the anxiety disorder, because i might ruin the memories of it when i get better and do it, so itll just remind me of this anxiety. things sometimes disturb me easier than normal, and i feel like im thinking about the future (getting better) too much that im not paying attention on the the present-time. ive been feeling definitely odd lately and its been about 5 weeks, and im just wondering if anyone has any ideas or thoughts on how to get rid of this generalized anxiety disorder. greatly appreciated.
