Hello I’m 19yrs old. Just recently over almost 2 months I quit smoking pot. Mainly for my dream career as an EMT but also because I started suffering from major panic attacks. I’ve had this happen before but it was due to a friend lying to me about smoking synthetic pot 6yrs ago. I got through that but recently I stopped after almost a year. I’ve been having panic attacks probably 6 times a night and they only seem to occur at night. They get so bad that I fear I’m dying and won’t sleep until 5-6am because at that point I know if I’ve been alive this long I’ll for sure wake up. I started reading these post and noticing people using “depersonalization,” a lot and had no idea what that was until I looked it up and when I read everything I could about it, everything made sense. In my eyes I feel like an alien to the world. I have to constantly remind myself of who I am and that I’ve been here for almost 20yrs. That yes things have changed but the things surrounding me are still the same. I’ve felt so alone through everything and not to be rude but it feels so nice knowing I’m not the only one dealing with this. Does anybody have any advice other than medications and seeing a doctor for this? I hate not being able to recognize my family because of the panic attack’s.
