Depersonalization and permanent anxiety after smoking weed!

Hey, by experience I would advise you that one needs to take any person out of bad trips. And this is exactly what it is, a bad trip, but that can turn to the reality of one when experienced often enough. It is like everything. But clearly there are subjects whose mindsets change for the worse thru weed, and it will never change, ever.

I feel a greater awareness of things after smoking, even long after.. including some sensations of paranoia but nothing like a distress at all. One say that it only releases you inner self, whatev is in there ! I strongly discourage the use of it, because it is a danger by nature. But if one decides to enter into this world, there is but one golden rule : only moderately consume (temporaly) in positive mindset.

Particularly worth for people that are not acquainted with the full spectrum of their emotions... Hope its all getting good with your hubby. cheers, Buzz

Oh, and by saying
"But clearly there are subjects whose mindsets change for the worse thru weed, and it will never change, ever."
I mean that, keep trying smoking it will not change its effect into somewhat positive effect.
Too bad. But its like everything, you are or are not made for it.
But ANY effects positive AND negative, STOP rather fast after stopping smoking.
Cheese

i just quit i have been smoking for almost 2 years now and i am currently is high school weed effected my life more than i realized it is not a drug to be used daily and it is not a drug to be used to escape your problems i used it daily for a long time and i now have serious anxiety and depression that eat away at me from the inside constantly i cannot stop the depression and i cannot even bring myself to smile weed made me distant from my family and the majority of my friends mostly the ones who did not smoke, i want a way to stop all these emotions because i cannot do it much longer suicide has crossed my mind too many times, i urge everyone to be safe with weed because you never know how it can effect you there is random chances some people react good to it and have no problems but some other people suffer very serious short or long term effects the most important thing to remember when dealing with someone effected by weed is not to abandon them because that is what will send them down the worst possible path you just need to show love and care and plead that they control how much they smoke i would also suggest not smoking bongs or mixing with tabaco because both those things have very bad effects 

Sup man, dude your not alone, try talking to doctor about how your feeling, you may feel down because weed can change the chemical composition in your brain, but for some people in can be fixed with anxiety medicine. You dont have to stay on it forever just till it goes away. I felt the same way and it can get better. If you ever want to talk just comment on this, no worries bro things will get better, u may not believe it but it can

Bro i dont think i have depersonalixation but thanks i hope this helps me the only symptom i have is lightheadedness or i cant feel myself lol but i hope what you say works

This happened to me everytime I smoked pot! And I am talking about back in the '70's! To this very day, and btw, I quit smoking pot in the year 1978, I have never felt the same as I did before I started smoking. In fact, if I am in a situation that recreates the environment when I freaked out-ie; dark, summer night, I start getting those feelings again! I say don't start again. I think certain individuals with certain personalities just can't handle it. I, for one, am one of those types.

Actually, THIS is exactly what made me whole again-To know Jesus! Now, I know what a fun awesome life REALLY is!

This is a result of having panic attacks. He believes the feeling so he has been consumed by them. So no more weed and have him read up on panic attacks/derealization-depersonalizations.

Sufferers of Depersonalisation or Derealisation feel divorced from both the world and from their own body. Often people who experience depersonalisation claim that life "feels like a dream", things seem unreal, or hazy; some say they feel detached from their own body. Another symptom of this condition can be the constant worrying or strange thoughts that people find hard to switch off.

People often say that no matter how hard they try, they don't feel like they can interact with the world around them. They feel a sense of detachment from their surroundings, finding it hard to talk and connect with others. Also they feel no love for the people closest to them and even question if they did a certain task or had a particular conversation. The most upsetting thing is they lose a sense of who they are and can't seem to perceive themselves as being normal.

Depersonalisation is a common and understandable offshoot of the anxiety condition. Before going further into depersonalisation, let me clear up one thing that I get asked often. “No, you are not going mad.” This feeling comes from being constantly worried about your own problems, it is not serious or harmful in any way and has a totally logical explanation. It is temporary and, with patience and understanding, eventually passes like any other symptom.

Depersonalisation occurs with anxiety because you are so used to watching yourself, questioning your illness, day in, day out, that you start to feel detached from the outside world. Your mind has become tired and less resilient through watching and worrying about your symptoms. It has been bombarded with worrying thoughts and becomes fatigued. When our limbs tire, they ache. When our mind tires, we feel these strange feelings of detachment from the world around us, experiencing an almost dreamlike state, convincing ourselves that we are going mad or losing it. You are not; your mind is just so very tired and just craves a rest from all this introspection of oneself.

"If cigarettes are so dangerous, and they are legal, just imagine what cannabis can do to your body! " Wow, you are very poorly educated about Marijuana, aren't you?

Marijuana is a substance that alters your state and should be used as any such substance would. I actually went off of  prescription anxiety medications because they were having such terrible effects on my body. I now smoke marijuana to help with my anxiety before I go to sleep, but choose other means of releasing stress during the day, such as running, meditation, etc. I am not saying that some people have adverse effects to mj, as I have seen it many times with my own eyes- but be wary of switching over to western medicine... you'd be surprised just how much of a nightmare that road can be.

 

Hope everyone stays calm, happy, and healthy!

Hi

I would like to get feedback on this.  My 13 year old son tried once and has since been wracked with severe anxiety.  He refuses to return to school and we have been in counseling and therapy for over a year.  Is this really what caused all this?

its because your body wants more weed

Hi I'm a 15 year old guy and last year I went to a fair with a few of my friends and we smoked out if an apple and I smoked a pretty good amount and thought I was fine until it kicked in as we were walking to the fair and I didn't know what was going on I kept saying I don't know where I am and it was the scariest thing I have ever experienced. Later that night it was so bad that this girl had to feed me a corn dog cause I was hungry but not able to function enough to feed myself. When the night was over I went home and went strait to sleep. When I woke up it was Saturday and we had a family party and I didn't feel right everything was just weird I felt high but I wasn't high. My aunt was talking to me and I would respond but as I was talking I didn't realize I kept talking and when I did it was very frightening and I knew something was wrong. Later that night I smoked more weed with a friend and the same thing happened again. After I exhaled I was staring at a bush but didnt realize it and when I did I freaked out AGAIN. Next day felt very weird just totally depersonalized and when I had to go back to school I was not myself. I was talking to this kid and I remember going "whoa was I just talking to you?" And it was just retarded. The next period I accidentally left my skateboard in the middle of the school which was also retarded. I just wasn't there in the head and would always think deep thoughts and just felt high. This went on for a week but it eventually went away. Since you are concerned for your boyfriend you should try to get him to take a break until he is back to normal again:)

I had this very bad up until about a year ago. Used to be popular in school really funny could have any girl I wanted and eventually I got to where I was smoking everyday all day that was what we did for fun. Well eventually I started haveing anxiety and paranoia real bad around people I wasn't comfortable with.. I lost all of my friends that didn't smoke weed with me, quit sports , bevame antisocial, by senior year I couldn't even talk at lunch or wall in the hallways I was so shy/panic attacks.. I graduated went to college and like could literally not even go in a gas station without anxiety attacks, I couldn't carry a convrrsation or understand much even.. my personality was gone. I was lile a robot I felt like and was so sad I just wasted my life.. I couldve beem a doctor and still had my gf.. I thought I had lost my mind and screwed myself up for good. I quit smoking (finally) I coildnt make myself quit even tho I hated it I felt so crazy on it.. well fast forward I quit smoking and the anxiety slow down after about 6 months and it took like a year and a half till I felt better and its bern about 2 1/2 yrs now I feel almost normal.. I'd say another couple years and ill have picked old self bacl up 100% completly.. it just takes time. Quit smoking... I use to smoke like a quarter a day basically.. it will all go back to normal don't worry just quit smoking now if you feel like this.. exercise helps A LOT too (jogging, weightlifting)
