Hi my name is. Max and I am 15 years old and I am currently having anxiety after using marijuana.
(15 years old, 6"1' 240lbs. Chubby)
Side note: I am a worried person, always have been. I tend to worry over small things that shouldn't be worried about.
I went to a friends house for his birthday on Friday night and spent the night, 3 days ago. It was fun and all but his mom had the flu. Unfortunately, even with trying to keep her distance from us, I got the flu from her. I started feeling symptoms the next day (saturday) right before I was supposed to go to another friends house. It was a friend I had not seen in a while and I decided to go even though I felt light headed and nauseous. I took some medicine before I went at about 5 pm (ibuprofen, zofran, and some tums). I got there and I felt alright, at least able to function and communicate. At about 10-11 pm, the medicine started to wear off and I started to get really light headed and I had a bit of a headache. The BIGGEST mistake i made was not calling my parents to pick me up. Instead, my friend said that his brother and mom uses marijuana for pain. I know a lot about the drug and know about the medicinal values of it. I also know that it can be a dangerous drug too. For reasons I still don't get, i agreed to try it in hope it would get me at least through the night. I had a feeling that the night was going to be tough. we got some and I only did a tiny bit. My friends didn't do it, I was the only one. It made me very tired and I made it through the night fine.
Here is where it started to go downhill..
I woke up and started feeling anxious and I think I had a mini panic attack. It was very scary and I didn't know what to do. I was panicky for about 2 hours and I finally calmed down. My mom picked me up and we went to lunch, then home. When I got home I was super tired and went to bed for 2 hours. When i woke up I was anxious again and had another panic attack for about an hour. I calmed down but still had really bad anxiety. I fell asleep that night pretty late after a long time of trying to calm down. The next day (sunday) wasn't any better. Woke up to a panic attack and a day filled with terrible anxiety. I am a pretty strong kid and I broke down multiple times from it. I contacted my uncle who knows a lot about different drugs (he is not an addict, he just believes in the medicinal values of cannabis). I asked him if this would go away and if it was because the marijuana just didn't react well with the flu medicine I took prior to smoking. He said that it will go away, and it is not from the medicine. I was very relieved. Still feeling very anxious.
Now, today (monday) I decided that I should tell and talk to my parents. Yesterday was very hard and I barely made it through. They are amazing parents and always are understanding of everything. They both seem disappointed a little bit, but are not mad. They think it will go away soon and I really hope they are right.
Now, i just need any advice on what I should do. I cant stand this anxious feeling any longer and want answers. Should I go to the doctor? Wait it out? Please help :(
