I am a freshmen at college at started drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana occassionally since I got here. I always anjoyed the drinking but never really got high until I smoke with my roomate in december. We went out and smoked underneath a tree and before I even stopped smoking I started completely freaking out. I had no idea what was happening but I felt like I had no control over my body and that maybe I was stuck in a dream or a movie. It was horrible. My vision became very blurry and all of my skin seemed to burn. I felt like I was in an unrealy world. A few minutes later I was able to bring myself back to reality, I would keep going back into this fear of an unreal world on and off for maybe an hour before my roomate put me to bed. I was fine when I woke up a few hours later and was able to laugh about this incident with my friends. I smoked two or three times after this and I kept getting the buring sensation in me skin but I was able to understand that is was the drugs doing that. However, the last time I smoked, I was already drunk off of rum, and still got the burning skin thing. When I woke up the next morning, I was fine but I few hours later the symptoms came back. That was a little more than two months ago and I still feel like I am experiencing the effects of the weed. I still have a little bit of a burning sensation in the skin and I feel like am still having phycological effects. I know this probably sounds really bad and, well, it is, but I am able to go to classes and function completely normally. Its just like I have this liitle distractions. Sorry this is so long. Im just really worried. Do you think I should seek pshyciatric help or do you think these symtops should go away on their own?
