going? no

Gone, probably

Ever consider meeting your neighbors and seeing if the voice tones match up?

If you have to ask then you're not insane. You're hold on sanity is too tight.

yes.  relax.

busy yourself with something, unless u like jus chillin' there tripping out on your neighbor's conversations.

ALSO - be open/cognizant of the fact that there are environmental factors that are affecting EVERYONE, not just you, that people may be commenting on.

What do you mean they're taking apart your personality? Is it stuff that your neighbors would not really have any way of knowing? Sounds like it might be in your head to me. People report this kind of thing when they have schizophrenia.

i think if you maybe have enough knowledge about personal psychology and you observe people and their little things for long enough, you could have a glimpse of what their past life is like. sometimes i think they observe what they hear through my room or when they see me outside.

is anybody capable of doing this?

Sounds like you're thinking about this waaaay to much KennyG. If your neighbors are overhearing you, they are trying to tune you out. Just as you should be trying to tune them out, nobody likes an eavesdropper. Weed exasperates anxiety and depresonalization/derealization, which adds to paranoia and adds to you thinking about irrelevant paranoid stuff like this.

What specifically are they commenting on? And yeah, quitting weed (for a little while at least) is probably a good idea.

tune out as in ignore the stimuli? or turn off emotions?

sometimes in my apartment or outside i hear shit like this guy is socially retarded. sometimes i hear shit like he thinks hes a badass or like he thinks hes really cool but hes just awkward or something.

No way. Same shit happens to me man. Saw a shrink a while back and didn't really go into too much detail about it in fear i'd get a straight jacket on the spot and find a cozy corner in a padded cell to waste away in. But he said I am self centered (took a lot of people telling me this to realize) but its not a bad thing and could be used for good he said he doesn't know what to do if I continued to smoke what I could do so I read a few psycology books behavior books and more and more books and have came to a conclution that it is almost certainly the weed doing this in directing your thought that way more frequently then you would without smoking. I still smoke and what I do is realise even if they were saying that they will continue to anyways.(but honestly they aren't) take it for what it is and act on what is heard because more then likely its your self concious bringing things up that maybe bothering you that you never really truely realised. I'm not some psychologist by any means just an average schmuck that lives with the same thing. Take it or leave it but it has helped me a lot. Best of luck!!:stoned:

That may be a mental illness becoming prominent, it generally happens at 19-25 for most men. You shouldn't be able to understand much of what they are saying, and if you do, you should overhear normal/neutral things too. Not just insulting stuff.

And yes, tune out the stimuli. If you're dealing with strong emotions that you'd rather tune out, you may benefit from some sort of mood stablizer.

Talk to a doc. How could any of us really help, especially when it may be so serious as schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder?

I am currently using Oxcarbenzepine and Amitriptyline HCL dosage varries per person but 300mg/25mg I forget which but one of those is mood stableizer and has worked wonders. Good post PC.:thumbup:

Yeah that's what it sounds like to me. This is exactly the kind of thing people talk about hearing when they have schizophrenia, voices criticizing them and shit.

i guess its kind of the mindset i use with life. i went outside to smoke a cig and i practiced tuning people out and it seemed like more of what a lot of people were doing. this guy walked by me and was like sup and i was just like hey and it seemed like we were on the same wavelength.

+1 for my sanity, seems like the only thing i need to do is get used to tuning it out instead of embracing it.

thanks guys

It's obviously cannabis-induced schizophrenia... Lay off the weed and get help because it will make everything completely incomprehensible, your life completely meaningless and it will slowly but surely make you stupider through brain degeneration.

Schizophrenia isn't dissimilar to prison.

Yep. It's quite normal for weed to intensify paranoia. Especially if you experience these "voices" when sober as well.

Try taking a little break from blazing, and see if your situation is getting any better. I'm having a bit of trouble grasping what you're talking about as far as neighbors talking about your personality.

it's called paranoia, and he probably should stop smoking reefer, if he really cares about what people passing by his dorm room are saying... (which aren't about him, and if it was, who cares? jump out of your room OP, and see what's going on, maybe?)

i don't smoke weed much at all, i smoked yesterday one time after about a 2 week hiatus. i should also probably stop with all stimulants.

do sedatives and stuff have a rebound effect after you stop using them (causing things like this to excarbate?)

oh, true say.  :seriousthankyou:

yeah, and stop worrying what other people might be saying behind closed doors... and if you can persistently hear shit that you can't seemingly just put on the back burner... then DEFINITELY stop using the stims.

Glad to hear it seems like you've "fixed" your problem. I still think that if this ever happens again, you should tell a therapist rather than the shroomery. It's nice to know for sure it's just the weed making you paranoid. No, sedatives don't have delayed effects, but benzos cause serious rebound anxiety

Yes. Benzodiazepines cause pretty extreme rebound anxiety & paranoia if you take them daily for as little as even 2 weeks. Depends on the dose of course. Exactly which sedatives were you taking?

sometimes i take benzos (diazepam, lorazepam, etizolam) recreationally (no blackouts) but i'm pretty sure they all do the same function more or less (6 receptors different binding affinities etc)

opiates

but these are usually weekend use because i had to focus on school and stuff.\

theres a christmas break coming up, i need to get myself things to do inside my home to get my mind off things. i was thinking occasional using but nothing to become habit forming.

Everything we experience is made up in our head.

You do not actually see with your eyes or hear with your ears or feel with your skin. All those sensations actually occur within your own mind and you only think you see light for instance. I'll explain sight and all the other senses are just like it.

It is actually your eyes that recieve light and focus it on your optic nerve, which transmits electrical signals to your visual cortex and you believe you are seeing things outseide of you. But that's the illusion. Everything you think you see outside of yourself is actually being seen inside of yourself in the form of electrical signals in your visual cortex only a few centimenters. There is no light in your brain, it is completely dark.

So what is it that we think itn't real in our mind? Only that which we don't project into an illusion seeming to be around us.
