Hello everyone. A few months ago I experienced my first ever panic attack while on vacation. During the time I was partying, drinking excessively and not getting a full nights sleep. After the attack I experienced some vision problems that still bother me up to now. These problems include blurred vision, visual static/snow and it’s very hard for me to focus on objects or words. 

I’ve always had some mild form of anxiety but never any attacks. I was a daily marijuana smoker as I found it to clear my mind and help me feel relaxed but ever since that panic attack, every time I would try to smoke after, I would just get back into the same feeling … heart pounding and mind racing with random thoughts. 

Now I find myself reminiscing on the days before all this happened and how easy it was for me to calm myself when I felt stressed or uneasy. I seem to be stuck in a loop of anxiety due to these vision problems as I can’t help but notice them. 

I guess I would just like to know if anyone has had any similar experiences and how I could possibly overcome these problems and go back to enjoying my life like before.
