    Stopping smoking weed was a big one. And then after that it was a lot of exposure therapy. Chewing gum also helps, if I start to feel anxious.

      I’m starting to slowly accept that weed might be the main culpript in my case aswell. While I do have legitimate things to be anxious about too I still feel like weed just increases the stress even further. On top of that I’m hardly even getting anything out of it anymore and the main reason I keep doing it is the habit. Gotta smoke a bowl each evening only to realize that I’m not having any more “fun” than I did before but now all the axiety inducing thought start flowing into my mind again along with the worry that my phone might ring and I absolutely HATE talking to “outsiders” when I’m high.

      It’s quite weird how I used to hang around people high and be perfectly fine with it. It was quite fun to be honest. Then at some point something just flipped and that turned into absolute terror.
