I'm awfully sorry to hear about your symptoms and troubles. I can understand your concern!


What happened during that panic attack a month ago? Are you seeking help from a mental health professional? Do you know that many communities have universities or sliding scale clinics where you can go for cheap or free mental health help...!

no not at the moment i have an aponitment september 11th. but what happend about a month ago i took two hits off a joint and freaked out like crazy.

like having a bad panic attack it was scary as hell. but that was my first one the next day i had a very bad panic attack in my car at the light and i called 911 and went to the hospital they said it was anxeity attack.

ever sence then i have not been the same.i have suffered threw symtoms like feeling hot,shaky,sweatin in hands,worryin that im going crazy it was going on everyday.

and now after a month going threw all that i went to work today and been gettin more panic attacks when im in my car every time im at a light or something im freaking out like crazy and ifeel so worn out now that im off of work.

is it because im not use to drivin again and not have benn going out or what?

I can understand --- MJ has consistently become more and more "optimized" with higher levels of THC which can cause stronger reactions. I can imagine that the panic attack was scary and severe. In order to figure out what's going on, I think that you need to work one-on-one with a counselor. This doesn't have to get in the way of work. If you're interested, I can look into some centers in Hampton.

Great. I found some sliding scale clinics in your area. Sliding fee scale means that the price is based on your income and other factors. You'll have to look up phone numbers, but the names of the clinics that have sliding scale fees in Hampton, VA are:

Holistic Mental Health, Inc
Hampton Roads Clinic
Riverside Behavioral Health Center:http://www.riversideonline.com/

FREE MEDICAL CLINICS : www.helphouse.org, www.lackeyfreeclinic.com
