Weed induced suicidal thoughts?

The last few months, I’ve been stressed while working 50-60 hour weeks from home, raising my daughter with my wife, and our marriage is definitely intact but I’ve been feeling like an inadequate husband and father because of how absorbed I get into work.

Last week I smoked a bowl (common thing for me to do on a weeknight when my wife works her grave shift as a nurse and my daughter is down to sleep). About an hour later, I get this sudden rush of horrible, self-loathing thoughts, and suddenly I literally start hearing voices in my head telling me I should kill myself, that seem to take possession of me. I had to call my Dad just to talk to me and calm me down and had “shivers” for 30 minutes after. I was mainly curious if anyone has ever heard of something like this happening out of nowhere with weed? I can honestly say I’ve never had serious thoughts of suicide and I’ve smoked weed regularly for a few years now, but this kind of scared the hell out of me to the point I’m wondering if I should even smoke again.
