"When I got on the acid it was just from some random person selling downtown,"....do you realize how dangerous that is?  You are 16-years old and are doing illegal narcotics.  I'm sorry, but it's hard to feel very sorry for you when you are not only breaking the law, but also poisoning your body and then complaining about anxiety.  It's time to exercise some common sense and eliminate the drugs all together.  Just because you're not smoking every day doesn't mean that the drugs aren't still in your system causing you anxiety.

It sounds to me like you are tripping because of the drug use.  STAY OFF THE DRUGS!  I cannot stress that enough.  You're only 16 years old and you are heading in a bad direction already.  Marijuana use can cause anxiety.  I can't even imagine the anxiety that acid would cause.  People with anxiety generally don't just pass out on a regular basis.  I'd say the drugs are more your problem than anything.

Hello there.
I gotta say, that's an intense story.
You need to stay very far away from drugs now on. Is that something you can commit to?

Did the person who put acid into the joint tell you that it had that in there?
If they didn't then they are totally ****** for doing that!

Anyway, it sounds like you are having panic attacks. Quite serious ones too.
The lack of oxygen could be causing voices, hallucinations.
There's medications for these issues.
I think it would be best for you to try them out.
So you should see your doctor, ok?
Will you do that?
