*First off, if anything mentioned in here is against the rules sorry, but since I'm talking about things as they are supposed to be used (i.e. not abused) and they are legal, and it relates to weed, I think this is ok. Also, if this is the wrong forum, could a mod please move this instead of deleting?*
So I have been having anxiety problems and have been trying to deal with them without meds and just going to see a therapist. The biggest thing though, is for about two months I can't smoke anymore, it just makes my heart race and makes me feel on edge or anxious, with varying levels of anxiety different times. So I can't really smoke at all and it is bumming me out. Having talked to my therapist, she says that is normal, but I don't want to stop, ya know?
A friend suggested getting put on anxiety meds and that may help, or getting something for acute panic attacks like sedatives or something of the sort, and taking one before smoking. I just don't like the idea of having to take something like that before smoking, or being on meds because I am doing fairly well without right now.
Am I just destined to not smoke anymore? Will I have to get a better hold on my anxiety problems before I could start again?
Any other tokers have problems like this? How did you handle it?
