Thanks for sharing your worries. A lot of what you are experiencing is stress. But there is more to it than that. You are suffering sleep deprivation and unusual things happen as a result of that. Speak to your parents about seeing a medical doctor as the dr. might prescribe something to help with both the sleep problems and the anxiety. Sometimes medication can relieve the immediate stress, anxiety, and panic reactions. Your medical dr. can also monitor the changes.

So this is my first advice. Seek support. Ask your parents. See your physician.

Re feelings of helplessness - this is not unusual for teenagers. It is a stressful time. If you continually have feelings of self-harm it is essential that you seek professional help. Re marijuana, I am completely anti-drugs. They are not helpful at all and you get all sorts of odd cognitive, emotional, and other reactions from them. So congratulations for being aware of the negative effects of the drug.

You seem to be managing yourself very well - congratulations. Keep a close eye on the symptoms; perhaps keep a log or diary explaining what is happening; date the events; seek parental support and arrange to see a physician. Summarize your emotional and physical reactions and present these to your physician. All of these strategies will be very helpful.
best wishes

Hey. im Tim, im 17 and i have the same almost exact problems.. Ive been to the ER atleast 5 times in the last few months from what they said was axiety. I havnt been fully diagnosed yet my primary docter wants me to get a psychiatric evaluation which i have yet to do. He gave me a script for inderol which is a beta-blocker to help with my panic attacks.. but, they just made me more tired and i felt even worse but i have to said they did help just a little bit but i didnt like the side effects so after about a week and a half of taking them i stopped. But as like Kay, my anxiety first started after smoking some really bad weed. a couple hours after smoking i started shaking, almost like going into convulsions, i was vommiting profusly, my vision was all fuzzy and dark, my heart was racing and i had a bad fever.. as much as i wanted to go to the hospital i didnt and i experienced all these symptoms from about 1:30am to about 8:30am and finally i passed out. i thought i was going to die. That was in mid February and now months later im still suffering from 'Anxiety' i dont smoke weed anymore.. i dont drink. It completely changed my life.. im afraid to go places and hang out with friends. Im almost always tired and my muscals are stiff i dont feel like doing anything ive noticed ive been very irratable toward family. my pupils are almost always dialated and i experience alot of depersonalization. ive learned to look over the chest pain and a few other symptoms but having the wierd state of mind all the time and these full body violent shakes is starting to freak me out a little bit. i experience the same vision problems he described also after looking at something and turning away i see spots or shapes. my vision gets kinda fuzzy at night sometimes. And when i shake it feels like im cold when im not.. its hard to explain.

I just wanted to know if the Body tremors, the vision symptoms and, the depersonlization are part of the anxiety and panic disorder?
these last few months have been really bad.. i was very active in highschool and with friends.. i was always the life of the crowd and now i feel like, completely cut off.. like, ill never be the same again.

i cant talk to my dad about it because.. all he does is preach to me all the time and talks down on me like im a bad son because im not 'in church'. He just doesnt understand. At this point and time me and him dont really get along that much.

Please gave me some kind of support or reasoning information. Thanks, Tim.
