Anxiety or Schizophrenia? Posted: 10-01-06 08:03am
about 3/4 months ago i started smoking a
bit of canabis, i smoked quite a bit.
bassically more than my body could take.
and i took this during work were the job
invovled sitting down, going through paper
work so needs concertration. after about
the third/forth day of smoking canabis
during work i suddenly out of no were just
fliped. when i was trying to concertrate
was felling like i was falling over, and
had blk outs if thats wot its called.and
stuff like that. i keeped taking long
breaks and suddenly i just (triped out and
did'nt no wot i was doing).
i thought it was just the canbabis and
after time took its place i was smoking it
from waking up to falling asleep for about
a month. after the month i thought ok i
tryed it now and wanted to stop and did so
immidietly. since then i bin still going
through weird phases were i would
concertrate for lenghty times and feeling
all weird n like i was bout to pass out,
blk outs and like i need to just get up n
move sumwere but as i am at college and
work i cnt just do that, also its very
hard to concertrate.
about 2months of not touching the drug i
still feel all weird, somtimes when i go
to bed my heart starts beating really
fast. i cnt stop thinking. find it really
hard to relax. get scared and the other
day i thought i was having a heart attack
and as i live alone its scary becuase i
have noone there if somthings accully
happening.
also quite regually i read about somthing
bad happending like illness's, being
injured or somthing and i then get the
symtoms of it and think i have it. if
theres anything else u want to no then dnt
hesite to ask my email is x

i no wot your probably thinking dads got
schizophrenia, mums got schizophrenia, i
took canabis so its probably kicked off my
schizophrenia. but i dunno and want to
explore other things that it could be. i
think its anxiety.
According to the symptoms you describe,
you could be experiencing some kind of
anxiety disorder. Abuse of cannabis may
also contribute to your mental condition.
The thing that worries me at most is your
genetic predisposition to develop
schizophrenia like your parents. You NEED
expert help from a psychiatrist!
