Stopped since 2 months and a half ago. Had been smoking everyday for 8yrs.

It was kinda easy for me since I was in a mental crisis, starting to have depersonalization.By stopping I also realized I had panic disorder too at about 3 days off first panic attack, the starting of DP definitly had something to do with my panic attack tho.

It was easy not going back since now with no tolerance I know I'm gon be super stone and with panic disorder it could get shitty. So it's easy to say no when the doobie is at my turn with friends.

Good effects it had on me: social anxiety almost completly vanished, I connected back with my family, I'm more coherent, less lazy, I like my job more and get less mad in general, started cooking instead of ordering food,

Bad effects: light sleep even after 2 months, 2-3 first week were 3x worst tho, 3 dreams everynight minimum, I eat a lot more proly because I'm more stressed, feel more miserable playing video games alone, feel more depressed in general cause the life I build while high is kinda shitty.

I plan on smoking a bit when I harvest my CBD shark shock I'm growing, 90% indica 1:2 thc/cbd. But that gon be in a while. I miss my wake and bake gaming Sunday lol and the good sleep ,the rest no so much really

Classic depersonalisation story,

I had similar story to you, but I had it after 8 years of drug abuse, meth 2 years every weekend,Coke,binge drinking,ketamine,psychedelics,benzo and opiates pretty much all drugs. And weed everyday

But everyone has their limit, some people will have DP the first time they smoke weed.

I belive I got it from a overkill dose of shroom, 6g PE which was comparable to 15g of cubes ime. But it doesn't matter how it started really

the first thing you have to do is overcome the anxiety and panic which It seems you already have made great progress judging from what you're saying. Good thing you have went for a psychologist since the only solution for that is talk therapy. For many including me the fear of going skizo was the driving force. Once you overcome that ,Once you truly believe you are NOT psychotic, once you understand that this is perfectly normal human reaction to excessive anxiety. Then you will be able to go foward.

Then there is the DP remaining symptoms ,DP recovery is a long path, and it's not linear it goes up and down, up and down ,you will make 5 step foward then 4.7 step back. You just have to keep going no matter what.

Main tip for recovery is first of all good sleep hygiene,interact with people as much as you can, less TV and cellphone,more reality ,go back to work ,eat well,exercise well.put everything on your side to help you.

Also no drugs, especially stimulant. Benzo can help at times but taking some more then once per week is asking for trouble,

I plan on going back to smoking weed myself once I harvest my heavy CBD indica. I will start low and try to keep it occasional. Only you will be able to judge when you feel ready. Don't do it because you're bored or you're mad. Do it when you feel ready and start low and build yourself a tolerence. Its possible that it makes your DP come back a bit and leads you to the wrong path again but only you will be able to judge.

good luck ,people can only understand the anxiety and depression that comes with it, that's what makes it hard for people with DP they are not recognized. they don't know how DP is a truly horrible and crippling condition at times. DP is one special kind of hell but you're not alone buddy

depersonalisation is being dizzy, forgetful, lightheaded, anxious, fatigued and feeling of being plagued by a malfunctioning mind everyday. It also comes with existential questioning like your face thing, proly more due to anxiety tho

Derealisation is also something that usually comes with but that's most of the time only episodes especially during panic attack for most. Feeling like a robot , not understanding what you see during a couple seconds, brain fog

Most annoying symptom for me is short therm memory problem, times fly by, feels like my life is slipping through my hands. At one point I'm here then I'm there. I remember everything but its like I didn't really do it. I also do some derealization, from time to time

One thing tho that is unusual, You said that your head and cortex and hippocampus shrunken? How's that? How do you know it did?

The cig being a mild stimulant doesn't help but it's way less worst then coffee and let's say Coke. The main reason why stimulant is bad for people with DP is because we already have more adrenaline because of anxiety. And panic attack and anxiety is the fuel of DP.

I guess if you have a big ego and strong personality it's less likely to happen

I think if you reach the point in socializing again and doing a normal life without even thinking about it your mind will forget it and youll come out or how does this go ?




yea, thats pretty much it.

Quote:

Have you got out of it completely?




some day i can say that im at 95% out and it truly feels great, im actually a lot more social and have less social anxiety then before. but i was a really anxious dude since a long time ago because of meth and weed and what not. stopping all drugs really helped ALOT

other days it comes back. its tightly related to anxiety and stress. but its less strong. sometime it actually helps me sometime cope with the stress

Ive started fighting 2 months and a half ago and it only got better

Quote:

s there a brain damage ?




No, DP is a perfectly normal human reaction to prolonged exposure to stress. its a survival mechanism. its a way the brain protects himself from stress

small episodes of derealization are the third most common psychological symptom in the world after anxiety feeling and depression feeling.

Quote:

I think it is not from drug abundance, i think i have used them wrong because many times il just always think bout the past like if i have changed that this would be now like this etc..




yea definitly know that, its easy to beat yourself up with weed sometimes, cant sleep for hours because youre thinking about shit youve done 5 years ago, its really hard for the ego and brain. now its just the brain that want to protect it self from exactly that i guess.

I personally think youre doing pretty good :thumbup: and that only after 2 weeks ! some people will try every medication one after the other to get out of it, i even saw people trying electro chock therapy. but in the end it made them alot worst. youre on the good way !

wish you a good recovery man,

@touchofgrey92 like mentioned above you need something to occupy your mind. The opposite of addiction is connection.

This vid explains it very well


@trippedytrip for body pain i doubt it does anything but relive some pain temporary, usually you will need to see a chiropractor or something for that. If it's muscle pain you can try a icy hot patch or a muscle relaxant,

I smoked twice since the peak of DP, at about 2-3 weeks of no weed. it was ok but I think it was too early and I had 0 tolerence I got pretty high smoking some Jean-guy which is a 50/50 hybrid .got some anxiety and saw more DP during 2 days after but that was it, Now it proly be better since I know so much more about what I'm fighting with and already got over the major part of my anxiety.

I plan on trying an indica high in CBD myself but it's in a while. I have a CBD shark chock growing right now 1:2 thc:CBD but it's still pretty small in veg. I also ordered some CBD vape juice to try one day with some weed but I'm in no rush.

You shouldn't be in a rush to go back neither brotha

@shroomism so you're saying you have zero anxiety when smoking, like you could go to a job interview high as fck and not have a single worry, meet your gf parents for the first time high as shit and don't give a shit,

You must really give zero fucks bra, can you do that on shrooms too brah?

Same as you little daddy ,I'm at about 5 months now :smile:

Me too I've begun a relationship with a nice bueautiful girl, and it been like 3 years I not had been in a relationship

Sometime I ask my self why did I kept on smoking and make my life harder for nothing for 8 years, all the highschool and college years blown in smoke.

Letting too much space to fear and not enough for love

Feels good to walk without this burden now,

failed 2 months ago.. :frown:. got dumped by my girl. started abusing benzo and alcohol, then smoking weed and now im all out. coke/ketamine/Mdma everyweekend

8 months to the trash

but i think im ready to start over. the weed really takes me away from what makes me happy. connection with people, love.

i guess failing is a part of the process. now im ready to go back in, next thing after is to taper benzo

smoking everynight isnt resonable. atleast for me.

i only smoke at night now, it stills intefere with the life i want. smoking with dudes watching stupid video all night. this shit sucks fuckin balls. i want to meet people, go out, do shit, have sex, make my weekday as fun as possible. i want to be great. tired of being miserable

before my relapse i was so proud of me, everbody loved me. i was happy now im not anymore
