I smoked some weed on friday night, and it is now monday night and I still don't feel normal. It was my third time smoking, the second time I felt normal after 2 days, and the first time nothing happened. However, this time I still don't feel like my old self. I just feel different. Its hard to describe, but I really want to go back to my old self. So, is it possible to change permanently from smoking? My friend that I smoked with feels fine and we both used the same pipe and stuff. We only did 1 bowl.
its just in your system and you are probably experiencing some of the longer lasting short term effects of marijuana I assure you if you give it a few more days it will go away and all will be normal.
Yeah, I'm probably gonna stop then. I don't like feeling this way for days on end. One or two days i can handle, but like 5 days or a week is too long. School is hard enough when I feel fine, but I feel fscked up all the time its impossible.
son, i hate to break the bad news to you....i dont quite know how to put this...... your a pothead, welcome to the club
it only feels like this the first few times you smoke. i remember my first time smoking i felt pleasantly confused the next day. doesn't do that anymore
actually, i take back what i said. yes, you are fucked up permanently. you will feel this same way for the rest of your life until the day you die, and its all because of that one time you smoked weed. sorry, good day
Depersonalization (or depersonalisation) is an 'alteration' in the perception or experience of the self so that one feels 'detached' from, and as if one is an 'outside' observer of, one's mental processes or body. A feeling of watching oneself act, while having no control over a situation.[1] It can be considered desirable, such as in the use of recreational drugs, but it usually refers to the severe form found in anxiety and, in the most intense case, panic attacks. A sufferer feels that he or she has changed and the world has become less real, vague, dreamlike, or lacking in significance. It can sometimes be a rather disturbing experience, since many feel that indeed, they are living in a "dream." Chronic depersonalization refers to depersonalization disorder, which is classified by the DSM-IV as a dissociative disorder. Derealization is a similar term to depersonalization, and the two are often used interchangeably. However, more specifically, derealization is the feeling that "nothing is real," while depersonalization is the feeling that one is "detached" from one's body or world. Though these feelings can happen to anyone who is under temporary severe anxiety/stress, For chronic depersonalization, which individuals get for suffering severe trauma, see depersonalization disorder. Derealization and depersonalization disorder are most prominent in anxiety disorders, clinical depression, bipolar disorder, sleep deprivation, and some types of epilepsy. trust me.....it wears away at your life....iv had id for the past three years iv even stopped smoking for 3 - 6 month intervals lol but mine stayed after like my 25th time smoking
I just hope to god its not permanent then and that it goes away. It might also be because of a lack of sleep, because of college. I just find it so amazing that you guys knew what I was talking about when I didn't even describe it that well in my original post. But yeah, I'm probably gonna stop.
causes Depersonalization is a side effect of dissociatives and hallucinogens, as well as common drugs such as marijuana, caffeine,[4] alcohol,[5] and minocycline.[6] It is a classic withdrawal symptom from many drugs.[7][8][9][10] The symptom of depersonalization is the third most common psychological experience, after feelings of anxiety and feelings of depression. Depersonalization can also accompany sleep deprivation, stress and anxiety as well as being a symptom of anxiety disorders such as panic disorder.[11] A study of undergraduate students found individuals high on the depersonalization/derealization subscale of the Dissociative Experiences Scale exhibited more pronounced cortisol response. Individuals high on the absorption subscale, which measures experiences of concentration to the exclusion of awareness of other events going on around them, showed weaker cortisol responses. i researched all this shit when i got it lol
I feel fucked up the next day if i smoke right before bed but i love it.. i do it on purpose so i can cruise through the next day feeling just a little bit off.. its amazing i live for that lol
You're a new smoker right? 3rd time? I can totally relate to what you said. The last time I smoked, which was only my 5th time, my buddy got me way too stoned, (hot boxing the car with bong hits of super dank), and I felt high for literally 3 weeks. It wasn't comfortable at all, and I was almost convinced that I had triggered some underlying psychological disorder and that I was insane. But I'm fine now. It's all in your head man, and it's you that is perpetuating it. That took me awhile to figure out, but like I said, it goes away. I've come to terms with how to deal with it and I can smoke now, but more often than not I turn it down and pass. Dont worry man you are going to be fine, stop worrying and thinking about it 24/7 and it will pass. If smoking isn't making you feel right, then dont feel obligated to smoke just b/c someone tells you it's for everyone.
The same thing happened to me when i started,but i have a feeling you might feel like that for the rest of your life.
