How I defeated my anxiety and panic attacks from weed

So I was an avid smoker about 2 years ago and like many others got too high thought I was having a heart attack, greened out and had a panic attack causing each and every toke afterward to devolve into a heart racing sweaty Palmed nightmare. So I took a break, this year I decided to pick up the green again in hope that perhaps it has passed. To no avail i had another small attack but it was manageable and once I came down I had a thought. Get a fucking fitbit. So I did and told myself smoke again and actually look at your heart rate dumbass.

So I got high, sat on the couch checked my fitbit about 10 mins after and seen my rate at a steady 80 bpm. My anxiety literally vanished and I was able to chill like it was the first time I smoked again.

As a dude with anxiety, it felt good to realize that I can break out of those nasty though loops that happen by just trusting science and using a little logic.

So for anyone missing smoking because of panic attacks grab a fitbit or a HR monitor app and hopefully your anxiety will dissipate as mines have.

Take care ents and love yourselves.
