second hand smoking

[India111]

Hey guys,

Basically after a bad experience with some untested mdma i now have some pretty nasty anxiety related after effects that I'm currently trying to recover from

As a result I'm going to have to avoid all drugs (even alcohol and caffeine) as anything can set me off and make me ten times worse

I'm fine with this as i want to do anything i can to get better, the only problem being is that my boyfriend and all his housemates smoke weed heavily in the house, often several times a day.

Before my bad experience i only smoked weed occasionally and have since completely stopped. I was making good progress with my recovery and i recently went to visit my boyfriend for the first time in ages (we're in a long distance relationship). I was sat in a room with him and he was smoking a joint and because I'm so used to it i didn't even register he was smoking weed until he'd finished. About 15-30 mins later i found my chest getting really tight and a panic attack coming on, and that evening my anxiety was worse than it had been for ages

The question I'm asking is, was my reaction purely just because I'm hyper aware of anything that might make my anxiety worse, or is it possible i could have triggered the panic through inhaling someone else's smoke? I really hope not because although i can tell my boyfriend not to smoke around me, I can't force his housemates not to, it's their house!

This is probably a very silly question and painfully obvious how little i smoke weed, just wanted to ask about the possibility of having the THC in my system if it wasn't even me smoking

Thanks in advance

Unless he was heavily hot boxing the room or blowing smoke right in your face, I'm thinking that you could be working yourself up by thinking it could be a problem (Aka, hyperaware)

That being said, are you normaly extremely lightweight when smoking? If you are it still could be the substance itself

I am normally a total lightweight just because i hardly ever smoke weed, but i think you're right about me working myself up, it's a big room and the windows were open and like you said he wasn't blowing the smoke in my face or anything. If it happens again though I'll ask him if he can smoke in the living room, even if it isn't the substance itself if it makes my symptoms worse i don't want to be around. I've pretty much become scared of drugs since this Mdma fucked me over ):
