Weed induced anxiety?

Hi all- ive been a light user of weed pens for a few years.. last summer i really got into smoking joints as it helped me relax so much and over the last 3 weeks i didnt have work so i really went all out on the weed..

A few nights ago i tried a high thc indica joint.. and i had the worst panic attack ive ever had.. every worst fear and thought just burst into my head, i thought my heart was gonna explode from all these dark thoughts.. breathing heavy etc.. i thought it was just that flower i had so i had just some sativa the next day (a casual smoke after work) and things were fine until i tried to sleep and the panic attack happened all over again..

Anyways im going on a tolerance break now- dont even know if I want to return to week honestly..

Is this normal? Ive done so many google searches trying to justify whats happening to me. But i cant help but wonder is it really the weed? Or are all these thoughts actually something I’ve been anxious about but didnt realize until now?? There hasnt been any troubles in my personal life.. like if anything my bf has been tired from work lately so we havent had the chance to spend too much time together? Normal me wouldnt mind and would understand but this anxious me? “Does he still love me, did i make the right choice with my partner etc” (Those arent the only anxious thoughts im having just an example)

Todays my first day of the tolerance break and ive been having on and off anxiety all day..

Any advice or even hearing your story would help me immensely <3

Edit: thanks SO much for all the comments- just reading that this isnt just an experience unique to me and is common helped a lot
