Depersonalization

[tjb]

ill give you a run down on what it is for those who dont know -

similar to derealization the affected person has trouble distinguising from reality and dream. they go through the motions of life in almost an out of body expierience like state or a lucid dream. it usually is a comorbid with anixety, panic attacks, depression, and bi polar disorder. drug use and abuse may bring it on as well as traumatic events such a war, abuse or for example a car accident. the reason im posting this is because i think i have it, if i smoke weed to frequently. it feels like im just going through the motions, and i lose myself in memories and think im back in the moment that is playing through my mind. my days also fly by me and i dont even know whats going on. it seems to last for days after i have toked up. i believe it lasts because the active chemical in marijuana is stored in body fat. but after a good week i feel clearer and my mind seems to be clarified.
so my question for you guys is, anybody else ever feel this way? and if so, was it after marijuana or another substances usage? - thanks.

Stop smoking weed.
Weed doesn't cause mental illness, but it can trigger a mental disorder if you are predisposed for it. Does anyone in your family have a mental illness?

I toke frequently, but have never experienced anything like it. I know people who have though, and my advice to them is the same i would give you. Don't play games with your mental health, it is just as -or maybe even more important then your physical health.

i don't know if i know exactly know what you mean, but i get what you mean when you say that days fly by you, it does that for me too. and i think i know what you mean by the memories thing too. btw, about that "going through motions" do you mean like, you feel asleep? or no, not asleep, but you feel like you're dreaming? like you're walking around in some dream?

The bi-products of THC stored in body fat are not active chemicals.

I knew someone who had mental issues sparked by smoking excessively, but his family had a history of mental illness.

Well, excessively for my buddy was ~ 2 to 3 blunts a day (at least one by himself). But this was for several years, not a couple of weeks.

It may just be the way your mind handles the high. Different people will react in different ways. When I'm high, I have a very difficult time talking / communicating with other people. I can't really formulate very coherent sentences, and I typically get very self conscious about that fact (so I end up trying to talk as little as possible, unless it is with someone I frequently smoke with - in which case I just say whatever stupid thing I say, laugh for a few seconds, and move on). This is why when I smoke up, I prefer to do so alone, and just enjoy the high... rather than try to be in a social setting and feel uncomfortable.

Anyway, if I were you, I would try smoking less. THC saturates in your bloodstream anyway - after a certain point you don't get any 'higher'. I find that ~3 hits form a bowl puts me in the perfect place - any more is just overkill to my head. So smoking a LOT will typically just layer negative affects on top of what you really want (the high).

And, a note about the family history thing. Traits for certain mental illnesses, etc. can pass over one or more generation - particularly if they are recessive gene traits. To be honest, you would probably know about the illness, most likely one of your grandparents would have it. I wouldn't be too worried, but on the other hand just because your parents / siblings don't have the disease doesn't mean you necessarily won't.
