I just posted in emergency help and got no answer so I have to post here. I also know its a little long...

I've been smoking marijuana for about 2 years. Recently (about a few months, half a year) I've started to feel very helpless and upset. I've been very paranoid about death, for example if I had a headache I'd think I had a brain tumor. I keep making up things that are wrong with me because I believe marijuana is some how killing me (even though I know nobody has ever died from it). I also feel like an awful person because I feel as if I've let my family down. I'm doing what most teenagers are doing my age and I feel awful for it. My parents also drank when they were my age which is almost equally as bad as smoking weed. I don't smoke cigarettes and I'm not going into harder drugs. Smoking just relaxes me.

I also hate touching my things because I believe I have marijuana particles on me. If I sit in my boyfriends car (which we smoke marijuana in) I don't like coming in my house and touching things or using my blankets. I just feel helpless and like I'm a terrible person for acting in a manner of that of most teenagers (not offending people who don't smoke).

I quit for about a month and had a fuzzy feeling like I was walking around in a fog. I feel like that usually because I do smoke often but it seemed to get worse.

How can I feel better about myself? Why do I feel so helpless and have all these weird feelings? Why am I so worried of death when half of the world smokes and doesn't feel this way? I just feel like the whole world is collapsing on me. I just want to be able to smoke or not smoke without feeling awful...

talk about it with your friends? im sure they would be there for you if they knew how you feel. its probs a good idea to stop smoking cause thats probs why your paranoid. explain to your bf and he may be able to help you get over this.

I would have thought youd need a doctor. You sound as though you may have some form of mental disorder (isnt as scary/ weird as it sounds) but no one on here can really do anything for you other than a little verbal support.
The best thing you can do is go and see your local doctor and get referred to a specialist who can give you some medication or counselling to make you feel better about yourself and your situation.
good luck hun
