Q: Anxiety & Stress After Long-term Marijauana Usage.

Hey, i'm 20 years old and i'm having some problems. I smoked marijuana and experienced other drugs for about a 2 and a half year span regularly. I decided to quit due to some side effects and just getting tired of it. But after I quit i've experienced anxiety and stress, and some slight depression ever since. I find it hard to be sociable and i'm having some other worries too. For about a year now i've been dealing with this, right after I quit things were much worse and I don't know how i'm where i'm at today.. But I use to have anxiety attacks every night. Then there was sort of this phase where I didn't feel conscious or alive really during all parts of the day. I'm back at school now and hanging out with old friends and starting to get my life back. But once in a while it will come back(the anxiety/nervousness). I find that alcohol or taking any kind of drug even extra strengh tylenol brings it back. Some major symptoms are headaches, confusion, shortness of breathe, noodle legs, stomach cramps and bloating, and tightness in my throat and in some areas of my heart. I'm wondering if anyone out there is experiencing this or has experienced it, or if anyone has any advice.. Hope to see some responses.. Thanks.

I've experienced it all.
Still is, it's a year since I got my first panic attack, which ended in a severe panic disorder.
I was a wreck for months, felt dead but I managed.
Just manage, i'm getting back to my life now, don't listen to the people who say "you shouldn't have done drugs you'll never have your old life back"
it's proven marijuana doesn't change anything permanently.
The trick is to tell yourself "f*ck this! I'm going to live my life to the fullest"
and actually do it.
I've read a lot of "success stories" of people experience the same thing and got their life back.
Just know in your heart and your mind theres nothing wrong with you and you will have your life back.
Keep living all day and you'll get it back
