Usually when the pot is much better than<br \/>\nusual or if it&#8217;s a been awhile since you&#8217;ve toked,  you&#8217;ll increase your<br \/>\nchance of having a panic attack.  It can also be manifest as a generalized<br \/>\nparanoia, not necessarily due to a specific fear.  This can also be due to<br \/>\nnervousness, stress, unusual situations, strange people. <\/p>\n<p>When you feel a panic attack coming on, a good idea is to isolate<br \/>\nyourself, pick out some soothing music and just groove.  In other words find<br \/>\na calming distraction (a walk in the woods, meditation, yoga), or just take<br \/>\nlong slow breaths and watch your breathing.  Just focus on that and keep it<br \/>\nslow and even and you&#8217;ll calm down very quickly.\n<\/p>\n<p>A really cool thing to learn is how to calm yourself, and refresh<br \/>\nyourself through some form of yoga or meditation.  Once you get proficient<br \/>\nyou can then use whenever you feel out of balance and it will restore your<br \/>\nbalance and overall health and attitude.  It is the best prevention there<br \/>\nis.<br \/>\n    And since you pointed out that certain people make you uncomfortable you<br \/>\ncan avoid those situations and be with people you enjoy.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nHope this helps! <br \/>\n-The Old Hippy<\/p>\n<p><\/font><\/p>\n<p>Posted by: skip<br \/>\nViews: 39167<br \/>\nTopic:10<\/p>\n<p><\/font>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>hey old hippy dude, i&#8217;ve been smoking for bout 5years and now the some of the time i smoke i get wierd! i start having acute social panic attacks!! and cant talk! i mostly get like this when i&#8217;m uncomfortable round certain people! what is this caused by?? have you ever heard of such a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[32,79,98,117],"class_list":["post-91","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ask-the-old-hippie","tag-cannabis","tag-marijuna","tag-panic-attack","tag-smoking"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hipplanet.com\/hip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hipplanet.com\/hip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hipplanet.com\/hip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hipplanet.com\/hip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hipplanet.com\/hip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=91"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hipplanet.com\/hip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hipplanet.com\/hip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=91"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hipplanet.com\/hip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=91"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hipplanet.com\/hip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=91"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
