gummy incident

So something that kinda pops up with my anxiety is about a year or so ago i ate an edible gummy after not doing anything for a while and i tripped out really bad… for example i thought i was gonna overdose and die, and that i was already dead.. that is the most fear i have felt in my entire life, and even though its over and has been over i have this constant fear in my mind “what if your still high and this is all a dream” or “your gonna wake up and it will still be that night” i never wanna feel that way again. i can’t even go around the smell of weed with out freaking out. i can’t take pills, or vitamin gummies because “what if it will make me high” when it comes to sleeping i wanna try this dr teals sleep blend but i struggle so much with it because of my mind saying “it will make you feel high”.. even when i feel tired i feel scared cause it reminds me of feeling high.. its just i feel so stuck with the same reaccrujng thought “this could be the time you wake up and it was all just a dream” “you could wake up from coma and this was all imagined” i don’t know what else to do, its my own mind no one can help me and that sucks i don’t know how to win the battle when it’s such a deep rooted fear. i feel like im pushing my family away. i feel so numb.

i had a similar experience 5 years ago, where i was actively using weed to the point that i felt i was dissociating constantly & couldnt ground myself in reality at all. the smell of weed or even loved ones using it is still a trigger for extreme worry & uneasiness now. i totally understand what you’re feeling, and it took me time to release the heavier parts of this fear too. what helps me is making a definitive effort to ground myself & try to weave in positive thinking to counteract my fears, which i know can be much easier said than done. you’re not alone & you’ve got this!

i’ve experienced this same exact thing a few years ago! i had an extreme panic attack while high and i didn’t feel like i was in my body and i was convinced i would be high forever. i don’t know how else to explain it other than i felt so disturbed. grounding yourself by being mindful about your surroundings sounds so corny but really does make you feel present. i also listened to tons of podcasts just to feel less lonely (lmk if you need recs) and to distract myself. lastly, just keep in mind even if all of those things are true, you’re safe, it’s fixable, you aren’t in trouble, you aren’t the first (and certainly won’t be the last) person to get high and nobody thinks you’re a bad person for doing that! i know easier said than done, but make sure to distract yourself and be as present as you can. stay strong! you’re not alone

also, not sure if it’s helpful, but I’ve come so far that i have been able to experiment w/ cannabis again! just know even though it can feel like this is the end all - it does get better and you will be able to move past this!!

Hi all, So this weekend I went away with my partner and friends. Friday night I guess I was being spontaneous and took more then the recommended dosage of an edible. Long story short yesterday I was not “present” at all. I was in an out of this high state. Extremely uncomfortable. My anxiety shot through the roof and my body went into complete panic attack. Today, (Sunday) I am still feeling distressed. I feel high still, not alive and really anxious. Is this common worn people who have high anxiety/triggered panic attacks? I think I’m more scared of the outer body I had all day yesterday and not feeling alive.

Drug trip/anxiety

Out of nowhere 2 weeks ago I started feeling like I was tripping on drugs. (I haven't touched a drug since 2012 because of a horrible trip I experienced..) 2 weeks ago I was at Walmart and I felt like I was dying. I felt double. I felt like I was out of body almost. (This is exactly what I felt when I smoked k2 in 2012..) Panic attack came. Since then I haven't felt the same. I can't stop thinking about it and feeling this way. All I feel is despair. I can't shake it. Is this OCD?? I struggled with harm OCD before this happened. But honestly this is worse.

Its getting worse

I ate a frozen pizza and in the middle of eating it I imagined to myself "what if it was an edible cookie" because the way I was eating it it was the shape of a cookie due to not having pizza cutter around (or at least I cant find one) I just cant stand the thought of the possibility of accidentally eating an edible unknowingly or just anything drugged and I'm exhausted of this irrational fear controlling every single day and triggering panic attacks (or anxiety). I wasn't always like this, why is this happening to me now??? I used to be a very impulsive person and eat whatever was put in front of me, and I've always been fine, so why is this eating me now? To be honest I feel calm typing this right now, just a little frightened that I scared myself with that thought, but I'm scared that this calmness won't last long. I hate this!
