i used to smoke pot every day and couldnt wait until i was able to do it. but last november i got the flu horribly and it gave me vertigo. so i quit tokin cause it made the dizzyness worse. after i started to feel a little better i tried again and it still made me really dizzy and i just felt nervous. it wasnt the same as it used to be at all. now that i am feeling somewhat alot better than i was, i really want to toke again, i miss it..the feeling i had when i smoked, but i am soo scared that it will just make me feel horrible again. i have many opportunities to try it again but when i think about it i get really nervous. is it normal to feel such anxiety about tokin again? i just want it to be how it used to be, fun, easygoin and not be nervous or feel nausious when i even smell it.
anyone have any tips on how to get over this, i feel like its all mental, but i just cant seem to tell myself that it can be like it used to.

    I don't know what the time frame involved here is, but make sure you are totally better before you go smoking again, you don't want a repeat performance.

    Most of the anxiety is probably just you overthinking and worrying too much. Example, last fall my bf and I had a really bad trip on some potent shrooms. Now we're both kind of afraid to do them again, even though we've both done them again after that (as a test run sort of) and nothing bad happened.

    Try not to think about it too much. Whenever you start worrying, tell yourself you're overthinking and then think about other things. In this way you will be able to little by little put it out of mind.

    Wait, are you feeling somewhat or a lot better?

    I would recommend that you wait until you believe (or your doctor believes) that you are completely cured, and then start off with very small puffs at a time and work your way up. Since you have not smoked in a while, your sensitivity may be higher than it used to be.
