Story by "Fredericka"

After hearing all of your stories I don't
feel so alone anymore. I am 17 years old and for about 6 months now i
have suffered from panic attacks. I don't get them all the time but i
get them every so often and fear that they will come back in between.
About 4 months ago I smoked marijuana with 2 of my close friends.
Everything seemed find since I used to smoke every now and then without
having any problems but that was all about to change because after
having smoked that night i came home and felt as if i was going to die.
I started feeling dizzy, losing my balance, dehydrated and lost. All of
a sudden I forgot everything I was doing and felt like I was falling.
Since that day I haven't been the same. I often "lose myself"
when I start talking to people or when i am trying to explain something
to them. Sometimes I'll stop in the middle of a conversation with
someone and think "am i really saying this?".
