How to overcome anxiety related symptoms?

[Tgull92]

Hi, I'm 17 for the past month I have been experiencing anxiety related symptoms after having a panic attack in the shower. This is not the first time I suffered for a panic attack. The first panic attack I suffered was at camp with friends. We were smoking weed. I have smoked weed before. I used to smoke on a daily basis. Than stopped when the school year started. And this was my first time smoking again in months. When we first started I felt how I usually did when I smoked calm reflexed than out of no where my heart started racing and I felt like I couldn't control my thoughts. This lasted for a couple hours than I fell asleep. The next day I felt normal again and just thought I smoked too much and didn't think much of it. The next night I tried smoking again and the same thing happened. And I probably tried 3 or 4 more times after that and decided to quit smoking for good, because every time i did I had a panic attack. So one night I was watching the walking dead all night. And I decided to get a shower. While I was in the shower boom out of no where I was having a panic attack I felt like I had no control of my thoughts my heart was racing. Since this experience I have been extremely agoraphobic and I have resorted to staying home playing video games all day. I haven't been out with friends since. I seem to be a lot more tired lately and lightheaded. And I am constantly questioning my self and believing I'm going crazy. I'm really scared and I don't know what to do I have talked to my mom. And I have a doctors appotiment in a month. But does anyone know why this is happening to me and is there anything that might help.

I don't why type of doctor I am seeing the appointment was set up when I went in for an evaluation by a therapist. But I do have an appointment with the therapist in a couple days. I'm really scared for the doctors appointment because I fear that if he puts me on drugs it will make it worse.

I've heard your story many times. Marijuana can cause panic attacks in some people. Since you've had several panic attacks it can become a vicious cycle. You have one and you're so afraid you will have another one that you do. What kind of Dr will you be seeing? Seeing a therapist could really help with your anxiety. You will learn coping skills to help when a panic attack hits.
