I had weed induced panic attack around seven years ago, and I quit that very day, and to this day, seven years later, I still have almost daily panic attacks., sometimes it starts like a gut feeling, sometimes I feel dizzy, like I'm about to pass out. The whole thing is, it's always a new sensation. Sometimes it'll be a new sensation I've never even felt before, like my legs, randomly feeling weak or like derealization out of nowhere. And even on days where I don't feel anxiety or panic, I just don't feel normal. It's almost like I forgot what normal feels like. And sometimes it gets so extreme that my body starts buzzing and my heart rate is through the roof, and it'll come from anything, and it's not even mentally induced. It's literally my body on its own. I'll be watching a movie or just hanging out, doing my thing, and then boom, I'm in a panic attack. And even when I know in my mind okay this is a panic attack I'm fine, my body is like on full panic shutdown mode. So it's exhausting because even on days where I don't have a panic attack, I don't know if I'm feeling normal or not. So, then I'm convincing my brain that I don't feel normal and then I have another panic attack. It's almost as if like a mix of derealization and a mix of forgetting what normal feels like. Has anybody else experienced anything similar to this? I need to know.
