okay ive been reading over these for like the past 3 months so now imma post my story. i had never done any drugs before this nor had i ever gotten drunk, me and one of my friends got this stuff called head trip incense, from a head shop in downtown chicago. i was scared to try it because before tht day id never even heard of it. so i said no at first and stuff and eventually gave into it and i did like 1.5 hits out of a one hitter. i didnt feel anything for like 10 minutes, then i just felt kinda light and it came on slowly. i just saw the air moving and stuff and we were giggling and eating like 3 lbs of trail mix lol and it was fine except i was a little scared in the beginning. tht night i went home still feeling fine and then i started getting kind of scared and ended looking up a bunch of stuff about it online and i was freaking out thinking i was gonna have a stroke or something and die in my sleep. i ever wrote out a little like note to my family apoligizing and stuff.
the next day i felt like crap, i just slept a lot and would get up and look up more stuff about it and freak out more and try to sleep again. the next 2-3 days after that i was feeling kind of lightheaded or numbness on my neck and back area and arms. i was really scared still and kept on wanting to call my parents of go to the ER but i waited it out.
(i smoked it on sat) then the next friday i got a kinda bad headache and for like the next 2-3 weeks i was having daily headaches. it wasnt anything too bad like i didnt feel like my head was melting or anything and ive had worse before. this whole time i had extreme anxiety thinking the headaches were never going to go away, especially after reading this. and im almost three months in now and i still dont feel the same.
Im not getting headaches daily anymore but im still getting them like a few times a week, i also feel lightheaded sometimes, and my throat closes sometimes, and i feel like my vision is off, like im trying to work to focus. and ill feel like a slight pain in my head for a second if i move to fast or just randomly. and im also seeing a therapist for a few weeks now. she thinks its all in my head, she says its just anxiety and i think she might be right. i saw a different one about 2 weeks in and she said that i might have read this forum and other horror stories online and now im making myself hav headaches. like i read about the op having headaches a week after he smoked it and thts what ended up happeneing to me after i read about it. so idk, my therpist had me get this book the anxiety and phobia workbook and she said tht would really help me.
Also i told my parents a few weeks ago and they said i was fine and everything too but idk sometimes i feel like its not all in my head and im never going to get better and i feel really depressed and scared.
but my parents agreed to let me get an MRI the doctor perscribed me so im getting that on thurs. well see how it goes. its just so weird cause all of my druggy friends that ive asked have either said its totally fine everyone smokes it, or its worse for you than marijuana but its okay to do every once in a while. also the friend i smoked it with says she feels totally fine now so idk.
there are a few senarios: i freaked out and read about how bad it was online and on this thread and since then i have been making myself sick from it and getting headaches from it and just overall a lot of anxiety from it. or the one that scares me so much is that i actually did mess up my brain somehow, like i got a weird blend or just my bdy chemistry, and the anxiety ive been feeling it result of the headaches and such and not the other way around. it just scares the shit out of me that i smoked it once 3 months ago and i still dont feel the same and im really scared i never will. any thought? also sorry i just realized how long this is
