Prolonged Depersonalization/Derealization

F

 

I get the exact same thing. But I know it isn't caused by weed in my case. It started at least a year before I had ever seen marijuana. In fact, smoking was the only thing that helped me really.

 

sounds trippy. i wish i knew how to use words to describe being high. thatd be a major literary achievement, mannn.

 

also weed doesnt give you disorders it can only bring them out so unless some one has this disorder then it might be a problem, i think and feel that like in sometimes almost everyone one i know does, everything is a disorder now,i dont tihnk its different then anyother emotion event that happen in peoples lives nad everyone in there life has emotional problems like dpressen and anxeity and 50 other types of feelings,i dontknow wtf this has to do with weed either becasue it applys to all drugs and itsnt created by drugs, if this a sympton of anxiety disorder what makes this any different then anxiety...,i realy dont understand the point of this thread,i have extremely bad anxiety disorder felt that at times ive been smoking before and after my anxiety, i no longer have an anxeity problem

 

I think I experienced that a few times when I was younger, long before I smoked. Why does everyone blame all of lifes problems on pot?

 

Today's show is brought to you b y the letter fuck you. The letter bong

 

becasue pot destroys brain cells and is soo addictive one hit will take a years worth of life from ur lifespane that shit is so bad ill never poison my body with it
*takes a hit from a cig and takes a shot of alchohol* STAY IN SCHOOL KIDS

 

I smoke a whole lot of weed.

But I got none of that... unless I'm tripping at the time.

Well if you are at a point in your life where you are working through psychological issues, pot isn't always a good thing to throw at your mind. How old are you?

 

wow, lots of preachy 'stop smoking weed' threads latly.

Deadonceagain is right.
I'll just say this, everybody is different, weed may be right for some and not right for others, end of story..

But I respect that you made the responsible choice to stop smoking because It became a problem to your health.

 

Yeah honestly I don't get this. I know pot can be over-abused, but it is still a take it or leave it substance. I have had serious problems in my past with nicotine, alcohol, and prescription drugs... they really impacted my life negatively. But that just doesnt happen with cannabis, in fact it's quite the opposite. It has been such a balancing and equalizing thing in my life. These threads kind of rub me the wrong way. That's why I am trying to get more info from the poster. He seems to have just come on here and said pot makes him experience depersonalization and visualizations (another thing I don't understand), then left.

 

Woah thats fucked...Something like that happened to me before, after the first few times I smoked...It triggered a depersonalization episode which lasted over a month. With that came depression, but it wasn't as intense as what you are experiencing...Sometimes I felt as if it was the first time I ever got into my house, but still knew ehre everyhting was. creepy

I know how you feel and I clearly understand why you posted this. I , too, wanted to warn people about this, as mental problems triggered by pot are not as rare as some would think.

But fuck that, no mental problem will keep me from smoking the good herb.

 

From the first link:

“My own face in a mirror seems foreign, like I have never really seen it before this moment…”

Thats kinda how I felt when I shroomed the first time. Except when I was tripping, I felt really comfortable with my reflection, and it was a good thing...

I know what the articles are talking about, parts of it describe how I feel sometimes... I think a lot of it is caused by or closely related to my low self confidence, or maybe its what brings on my low self confidence... I really dont know. I've been trying to figure out whats wrong with me for a little while now, but I'm not coming to any grand conclusions. I doubt smoking a lot helps, but then again, when I've taken breaks in the past, I dont really remember much changing. But I can't remember much these days =P All in all, I'm in a good mood right now, so I dont really care whats right or wrong with me. I'll wait until I'm depressed to figure it out, its a lot easier to accuse myself of being a fuck up then.
