Depersonalization and permanent anxiety after smoking weed!

Guest · Guest

Hello, I am unable to smoke weed anymore. I am a former bong Ripper,Bud smoker and was making a living distruting weed for 6-7 years until Panic Hit me one night with a gathering of friends.Me, a hard body thugish type started to become really scared of my body, my thoughts and everyone around me seemed really bad.I am full of terror, images of my parents and a urge to leave want to break through, I couldnt breathe am I dying Why does this look so wierd. Racing thoughts, sweaty palms, and all from what? My hands are trembeling I think its lasted I yell to everyone they all laugh and as they ask if im all rite the feelings all intensify.I know the weed isnt laced because I grew it.I dont drop acid, and never did nor did I recieve a ''mickey" in my drink when I wasnt looking.I was rushed to the hospital. bloodworks fine no signs of coke, or any other drug just weed.10 years have gone by and many episodes like the first still haunt me. I Did take a Rx called xanax .5 mg when they'd occur. But I do have to say I have found christ jesus through this problem! Aswell as the ability to rise above fear in my mind far beyond what you may think.I have been broken in "mind" only to become stronger in my mind. I also have stopped taking xanax. I belive now in the tree of life as discribed in bible verses ,rather than The tree of illution. When you find the tree of life Its fruit is far more relaxing and truly pure than marijauna. you become stonger from the tree of life and your mental state of mind is opend in the same way but with much more admaration of a summer day than with weed. But because you may lose a few friends and gain eternal peace AND tranquility the choice is not mine. Take my experience examine it, it is true. If you have had simmalar experiences on weed, it is god challanging you. letting you breake, because he wants to make you stronger in MIND. Just like you think you get from WEED.He knows you just want to chill. trust me he Knows.Choose the tree of life witch grows Fruits of peace and stress reduction. you dont have to panic anymore. let god make you stronger.

I started heavily smoking pot about a year ago. After about 5 months of that time i started developing depersonalization disorder. Its as if my whole perception of myself and my environment became distorted, worsening every passing month. I have been clean for about a month and a half after i pulled it together. What was going on? I don't think this is a coincidence, however i am open minded and want to hear what you think.

Hi, Im 19 And Ive Smoked For Two Years And It Was A Big Part Of My Lifestyle Until It Started Giving Me These Panic Attacks 8 Months Ago. I Felt So Depersonalized But Kept Smoking And Just Delt With The Panic Attacks Until About 6 Weeks Ago. I Feel So Anxious And Depersonalized Now. Something Is Wrong With The Way I See Things, Like Blurred Vision. When I Go Outside I Cant Take In The Mood Of The Day Anymore. I Dont Take Interest In Anything Anymore. I Feel Like My Life Is Over. Is My Seritonin Low? Why Wont These Feelings Go Away?

I had DP/DR too for about 2 years... and yea, I got it from smoking weed. It goes away if you change your lifestyle into a healthy one. Stop smoking, start running, stop smoking, stop drinking caffeine.

My point is, make changes to change yourself. You arent going to THINK your way out of an already sick brain. Get on a treadmill, eat some salad, get out of your mind and into your life.

Honestly folks, I can relate with all of you on one level or another. I've been smoking off/on for approximately 6 years now. I've experienced anxiety symptoms like a mother. I've been through the denial. I've been through frustration from not being able to quit cold turkey. I've been scared that I would never amount to anything, and that my world of shiz would be indefinite. Its scary guys thats the truth. But I've got good news. Your growing up, and figuring this stuff out. Give yourself some time to heal. Eat right. Exercise. Be truthful with yourselves and with others, and most importantly quit the pot! Don't panic because TIME HEALS!!! And to the originator of this post, I lost my last GF who thought all the same things about me except when I was on my binges. We're now broken up. It ended terribly. Don't make him fear you to the point where he'll lie to you, but don't put up with his BS either. He's mentally sick, and needs to grow out of it or get help doing so if he can't on his own. But he's not going to quit until HE really wants to. What kind of crowd do you guys hang out with? What kind of crowd does he in particular hang out with? I've heard before, while experience has proven this true to me, that you will blend with your environment. Very rarely do you see a rose in a field of poppies. Know what I mean? At any rate, this shiz we're talking about here is life. It's a journey. Anyone who discredits someone else's cry for help has obviously not walked a mile in anyone's shoes but their own.
I've got my own anxiety I'm trying to deal with. Thank God our bodies let us know when we are doing something wrong to them.

I have smoked for 25 years. I have lost most of my friends and suffer from severe depression. Pot is damaging.
I only wish I would have known 25 years ago.....

Hey, i've now been smokin weed for 5 years now. first couple of years weren't so bad, smokin every 2/3 days. Now its every day, i want to quit but don't want to quit at the same time. I enjoy a nice smoke when i finish work to finish the day with. I never go to work stoned and probably never will but as soon as i finish, back to mine and on to the buckets. the thing is, the past year or so i've been sitting down to have a smoke and about 2/3 hours later i start to tremble in the arms and face. this happens occasionally, not all the time but i'm starting to worry. Does anyone else have this problem?? Does anyone think this could be permenant. I hope not..

I'm 50 years old A mother to 5 and grandmother to 5. I've smoked weed for 34 years,an eighth a day some of that time.You're all silly!Your buzz is like your life,what you make it.You create your own personal heaven OR hell. You can use the intensity and depth pot gives you to create something beautiful or a living nightmare,you can't blame the weed,the rest of your life sets the stage,pot just intensifies it.
