Happy 4/20!
You may be wondering whether it's safe to smoke marijuana or eat that pot brownie edible while going through depersonalization/derealization (DP/DR). This video tries to answer that question.
You can download my FREE guide for DP/DR: acoachcalledlife.com/ebook
Remember, none of the advice in this video should be used as medical advice. I do not condone the use of illegal substances.
I am a 17 year old going through this because of abusing mushrooms and weed one night. I freaked hard about it for a week and had to quit weed for a month. The key to overcome all this is just let be. Surrender to this, your mind is going through changes and your ego is fighting because it doesn’t like this taste of this more conscious and aware you. Don’t avoid these thoughts when they show up, observe and understand. If you don’t put a lot of attention into them they will eventually leave. Stop running away from fears and problems, take them to the face and deal with them. I now am able to enjoy my weed again and all of these weird disconnected feelings are starting to slowly fade away as I just live on my life. Just remember that thinking about reality, perception, time is all irrelevant and it really doesn’t matter at the end of the day. Good luck ok everybody’s journey on finding yourselves again. If this is happening to you it’s because you are a brilliant person that actually thinks outside the box!!
You are very wise for your age my friend. I commend your attitude.
Swamy G Thank you very much 🙏🙏
@@JorgeLopez-rw9he you anjoy Weed now?
TrapStar Yes. There is a very simple answer to this and it’s Let Go! Flow with the wave. You took a drug and it’s going to mess with you for some hours. You aren’t going to go crazy or none of ur scary thoughts will come true. Train your brain, it’s yours!!
Yes, finally another person who knows you could smoke weed again! Others say you cant. You cant if it only makes you anxious, geez people are dumb and scared
DPDR ended for me when I realized a few things... in this specific order:
1. I had a panic attack that caused me to fear for my life. That was considered a traumatic event to me.
2. I kept over analyzing my feelings every day, looking for another panic attack to happen, and the more I looked, the more it happened.
3. I kept blaming my recurring panic attacks on external things such as food, People, events, etc. basically everything but my own thoughts. So I changed my entire life around based on my anxiety in order to try and stop it from happening. Basically reconstructing my life to fit my anxiety. It never worked, but I was already trapped in letting my panic attacks and thought process control my daily routines & avoidance of stuff I used to like.
4. Once I realized my thoughts were the ones causing me panic, I faced my thoughts and trained myself not to react to them with emotion, and training my brain to not stress over thoughts because thoughts can be meaningless when you choose to.
5. Derealization went away on its own when I learned to react to my stressful thoughts with something other than emotion. I just imagine a white dragon flying in the sky and focus on the white dragon as an immediate response to a negative thought. Showing my brain that I’m not scared of that thought. I acknowledged the thought... and even responded to it, just not with fear. And I mean thoughts such as “you must be going crazy” “nothing will ever work. You’ll never be fixed” “the panic attacks will never stop” “what if suicide is the only way out”. Trust that your brain will get VERY CREATIVE when it comes to anxious thoughts. It will hit you with scenarios you’d never expect. But you’ll ALWAYS know “this is just one of those anxious thoughts, not going for it.. here’s a white dragon in the sky enjoy” *focuses on a white dragon flying in the sky for literally 5 minutes straight and nothing else * Every single thought that sent a wave of anxiety through my head, and caused more “what if’s”, I immediately started to notice those weren’t “me” thoughts. Those were anxious thoughts, and they have to be responded to differently for now on.
You don’t realize it, but DPDR is a defense reaction, not a condition. Your brain thinks there is danger around so it cuts your emotions and normal focus off (DPDR) in order for you to fight the threat. The threat is your thoughts. Your thoughts are a threat because you are reacting to them with fear and anxiety. So the threat ain’t leaving until you react to your scary thoughts a different way. If the threat ain’t leaving, the DPDR ain’t leaving. Sort through your emotions, then re wire your brain waves until it becomes daily practice. Them eventually it’ll become second nature, and you finally graduate DPDR boot camp.
Good luck to you all
EDIT:
4/14/2022 update:
I am healed, and now completely understand why I became the broken and depressed soul I was. My entire life I was someone who was avoiding conflicts. Little did I know that avoiding conflicts makes you not comfortable with who you are as an individual and you have no self respect, so in return, your thoughts don’t respect you either because you now view yourself as a weak individual who can’t handle hard conflicts. So you are stuck in a forever loop of anxiety and depression
Resolve your life’s biggest conflicts, change the way you view yourself, and flip your life and self view upside down for the better to heal from this problem. And get on antidepressants or do mushrooms to help give your brain energy to do this!!!!
Damn dude, you nailed it, especially the first 3 - that’s exactly how it is for me right now, I’m constantly checking up on my anxiety, I won’t eat carbs because I convinced myself that it will give me anxiety now I get anxious whenever I eat
How did you accomplish number 4?
@@johnpye2357 I woke up one day and instead of letting my mind jump straight to anxious thoughts, I imagined a euphoric vision in my head that made me feel good to think about. It was on accident, but it was because I was just tired of waking up to anxious thoughts and just wanted to get away from them for just 2 minutes. And that was my break through moment. That thought I envisioned was a white dragon flying in the sky. After that moment I slowly started figuring out, that instead of battling with my anxious thoughts and trying to fight them making them worse, I could replace that moment with a different state of mind to escape to. It’s the same thing as meditating tbh.
But the main thing is, you will eventually find out there is no rules or set way to deal with anxiety. You just have to find out how you can stop responding to your anxious thoughts with fear and stress. My way was showing my brain I can step away from thoughts I don’t like and just imagine a dragon floating in the sky. The more you can show your brain you don’t care about your stressful thoughts, the more anxiety and DPDR will go away on its own
@@johnpye2357 your carbs aren’t the reason behind your anxiety. Nothing is the reason behind your anxiety but your own thoughts. I stopped masturbating, stopped eating noodles, stopped taking caffeine, stopped working out, and stopped doing so many things at separate points in my life because I was blaming everything on my anxiety when it was my own thoughts the entire time. Your brain is trying to find reasons for why the “threat” is still around because it wants the threat to go away. But when the threat is your own thoughts & you don’t truly acknowledge that, you will start avoiding things in hopes that it will fix your anxiety. When it’s all in your head.
cried while reading this, i too changed all of my life around dpdr. my food, excersize, relationships. never thoujght of it the way you said it, thank you
Cannabis makes me hear Evey melody and instrument in music it's AMAZING
I know bro I miss it, I’m to scared to smoke again cuz I had it twice. The last time I had it I tweaked.
You’ve no idea how much I needed this video. Suffer from PTSD and had the most horrendous dpdr episode the other week, life was like a 3D movie and nothing was real. For me, understanding the situation and why I react like this helps me so much. If I roll a joint I’ll smoke it in quarters, sometimes less but it’s just about trial and error as everyone is different.
it's insane how accurate your experience is with mine; especially with the preference of strains. this video helped a lot thank you! gnarly vid
It’s from weed...it goes away in time brother stay strong...I felt this all last year it sadly took quite a couple months but u will get better... stay away from weed and nicotine...listen to music and sleep lots. I felt hopeless tryna think what my life was like before and if I will ever be the same...you will be better.. and if you ever think about smoking weed again remember this pain... idk if your a weed smoker but that was the problem for me...and I’m sure theirs ppl that r looking for answers and scrolling in the comments cuz that’s what I did.🖖🏻
You got over it in a year?
@@thc7865 ya like 7 months when corona hit it went a way
i actually recently smoked thc again and realized it was just not for me but nothing happened... i say if your struggling smoke some cbd flower it really helps
@@mjdu4159 I hope it goes away I have hope but when the anxiety hits of it not going away I get really scared I’m 14 and I know I’m dum for trying weed but I just wanted to see what happens and now I feel like I’m not real but I’m hopeful that over time this dam thing will go away you got any tips of how to not get anxiety of it
@@user-nq4vc5tj8e ya man shits really the worst I had the same exact mind set I would be that way forever bro... I suggest tryna get a gf which i didn’t lol but something I did do was start working out and it really helped snd I got into shape and lost lots of weight... also it’s really important to talk about it even though my friends clowned me it didn’t care but one two of friends was going through something similar so it was ok... it was last year when I was 15 so ya but ur not dumb everyone wants to experiment...just never take physdelics k
Swammyyy you the man. Thanks for sharing your experiences. You're helping people!
You're welcome, brother!
I just bought a half ounce today after not smoking for 6 months due to it making me have more anxiety. 1 month ago i was diagnosed with DP/DR but have been dealing with it for about a year and a half without knowing. You and I have the exact same relationship with marijuana and I have been questioning whether I'll be able to include it into my life ever again. I've been having some of the same tips, that youre talking about here, running through my head. I do believe these steps and precautions will work. I appreciate you for making this video a lot Swamy G
This video was very helpful. Ive had DP for 6 years now. I just got my med card because I have chronic back pain and inflammation flare ups and have been slowly experimenting with high CBD strains low THC. I only take two hits and I notice I have to be chilling in a safe space, usually by myself.
Does CBD work for back pain, DP or anxiety?
thank you so much for sharing, im a new smoker and pretty early on i had a DP moment from smoking and right away i went to minimizing my intake to one or two hits max during a session and that control along with the help of knowing i did not take a lot at once and ill come down faster helps me a whole lot to not have a panic attack i could be way off in saying this but i strongly think it has something to do with a mentality i have of always wanting to be in control of whats happening to me and sometimes around me, im a very strong willed person and have never liked to not be in control so when i smoke too much and it hits all at once i believed berceuse i am this way that it may be the reason i have to take such small amounts and work my way into a high rather than taking it straight to the dome all at once and have a panic attack
i see here the main problem. once u experienced the terror of ur own mind (anxiety,dp,dr) u will never forget. but if we dont understand, that it is our own mind which is creating this, we will never fully recover. when we go with the mindset to reject the feeling of anxiety, it never will stop. conquer and be brave i think this is the only way to get over it completely. iam the master of my mind, not the anxiety. anxiety, do what u want. i will hear to you and not be afraid of u. anxiety is love and a sign of your subcon mind. change the perspective
Great advice sir, thank you.
Thanks for the video man, good topic. Just starting to watch right now but thanks in advance
OMG I NEEDED THIS SO MUCH ! THANK YOU 😭
Good video like always man, it’s been about 10 months since I stopped smoking due to depersonalization and panic attacks and lately I’ve been having urges to get high again due to people around me. My symptoms and anxiety have gone way down since then, but what I have decided is that I’m still not ready to start getting high again. To anyone delving back into weed though, I’ll say be careful and enjoy it, weed when used correctly can be a wonderful tool. Anyways, happy 4/20.
True. You are doing the right thing. There will a time in the future when you may feel it's alright to smoke. And even then, start small and go from there. Cheers!
@Andre Thomas
How do you feel now man?
How long did you have depsonalization?
Update?
Salvia trip yeah forsure, I’m doing pretty good. Still have anxiety at some points and have completely cut weed and drugs out of my life. The pandemic has made me a little more anxious but I’ve really had no issues relating to depersonalization for awhile, although there are times when I can see some hints of it.
I wish this video was around in 2013 when I was dealing with this stuff for the first time and was horrified. But it’s all good let the brain heal for as long as you can until you aren’t obsessing about it anymore. For me it is about 6-8 months after the DP ended. I only get DP /DR when I abuse weed for along time then suddenly stop it comes back slightly. Everything in moderation is the best. I have a hard time with that I get “addicted” to everything
I miss smoking weed, I never knew I could feel so happy and enjoy life until I smoked MJ. I never understood those outgoing people that loved life and wore their hearts on their sleeves until I was smoking, it even gave me a sex drive lol something I never really had before. I got dp and dr like 4 years ago and I recovered that same year, but I miss the feeling of enjoying life. The thing is the dr and dp was so traumatizing that even 4 years later, I’m hesitant to even try CBD let alone anything with THC.
It's all in your mind man
Any updates ? Did you smoke ? I'm in the same situation but still afraid to smoke again.
@@chamsturki6356 nope never smoked, that bad trip gave me an anxiety disorder. Even though I had anxiety before, it’s worse now even after 5 years. It’s better now, but I still get random panic attacks and can’t be around crowded places too long or I’ll get heavy brain fog and anxiety kicks in.
@@salviatrip7083 all psychiatric disorders are in your mind, that’s like saying telling someone with blood cancer “it’s all in your blood man”.
@@chamsturki6356 some of us just aren’t meant to have psychoactive drugs for whatever reason. Some of our brains are wired differently and adding drugs just doesn’t mix right with us. I recommend staying away from MJ or any drug for that matter, it’s not worth messing with your sanity.
Really great share! This is exactly the way one should handle their mature discerning relationship with weed! We can’t be 18 forever!
If you have never had dp it basically feels like life isn't real and you start to panic. You will be calm but then feel like you are in a dream and your mind will become so cluttered and you just feel like you aren't you and you can't think. It feels like death. Fuck weed
You better now ?

Yeah I never got it from smoking but got it from doing edibles one time

I’ve smoked for 2 years straight best weed you can get too, which doesn’t help, I will tell you this I don’t even feel human, let alone not feeling myself
My sister has had it for a couple of years after she went through a bad event and scarred her. That’s what scares me the most, the thought of having it for months, weeks or years. I have gotten it 2-3 times off of weed in the span of 1-2 months I’d says and every time it has gotten a little longer, the last time I got it (1 week ago) I tweaked so hard and was scared it was permanent or wouldn’t go away. I was with my brother and sister and did “the 5 ways to get back to reality”and they told me I would be okay and to go to bed and chill. I was freaking out and my heart was beating and I kept telling myself don’t freak out you will be ok. My dog scratched on my door and kept crying to let him in, he came in and laid next to me and calmed me down, which I love him so much for doing. when I tried sleeping I couldn’t sleep, I was wide awake and when I closed my eyes it was just constant thinking of blankness, it’s hard to explain, like I was just Constantly thinking of my surrounding and everything. It was hard to read and Type because my brain was tweaking. I put on some music to remind me of my favorite songs and the memories and went to bed. I woke up and went around the house to see if I was still tweaking and it was getting better. By morning I was pretty good and it pretty much went away. The next 3 days I was constantly testing myself to see if I was ok, I would look at my hands, I couldn’t thinking about it, light seems a little brighter to me, I was yawning a lot every day and felt somewhat tired even after a good nights sleep, I felt that my mental health was off because of what happened. A week later I felt normal again but I still sometimes check my self even tho I tell myself to stop because I should just forget about what had happened. I’m scared that thinking about it or smoking weed again will trigger it and I will regret it for the rest of my life, I’m only 17 so I don’t know if it was because my Brain isn’t fully developed or if It’s genetics ? I miss weed but I don’t ever wanna risk that again :( even when I’m out with friends I always say no because of what happened, does anyone have any explanation or advice ??
I was thinking about smoking again when I’m about 25? When my Brain is fully developed, but I’m worried it will trigger the derealization, should I just never smoke again, is it worth the risk? When I got it the last time I thought to my self I would never smoke again in my life because I knew how much I would regret it if it came back to stay. Man that shit was scary.
@@anthonyaparicio2416 i felt the same 100% not fun!
This is incredibly helpful. thank you so much for making this video.
You sir just gained yourself a sub!.
Gunna make this as short as possible, got weed induced dr/dp 2 ish years ago now, sometimes it’s tough for me to tell the difference between the 2, got overly obsessed about researching it and this is the worst thing you can do, I’m only watching this video so I can comment this, so I didn’t smoke for a year after my bad experience which caused my dr/dp and the dr/dp was awful I mean unbearable at times, a year passes and I had decided I was ready to smoke again, because my symptoms had been getting less frequent and better, so I smoked up with my friend and yep, got derealisation during the high, but it wasn’t that bad, had all the good effects from the weed but on the side I could feel I was “derealising”, after this high I didn’t feel any different, my dp/dr wasn’t any worse so I did it again and again and again until one time I overstepped the Mark, I had another terrible experience which immediately led me down the dp/dr hole this was about 6 months ago now and I’m getting better but all I have to say is don’t risk it, because after that recent ish bad experience, I was back to square one, wait at least 2 years before bunning up again I would say
Ik this comment was a while ago but how long did your dp/dr last for to not smoke for so long?
I had if for around 2 months, one day on my way home after work I started thinking about death. Suddenly it was like everything popped back into place. Like reality was realigned.
Mine was never pot induced but it was LSD induced. After doing acid 10+ times I reached a psychotic breaking point and 4 months till this day im derealized. It’s 50% now compared to how it used to be. The thought of being on medication like I once was a year ago makes me feel good but I’m not too sure yet. I just gotta keep fighting like you and all these strong people.
Hi, fighting is what keeps this going. Checkout my other videos, you'll understand what I'm talking about.
Psychotic breaking point?
Diagnosed or you just say that?
how are you now
Great video man, subscribed
Glad you enjoyed it.
I dream of smoking sometimes and it’s okay. Can’t wait to smoke again in 3 years. Had dpdr from 1.4 year ago incident
U should check our Jordan hardgraves dpdr course if u still have it
Any chance you could do a part 2 to this video? If not it’s cool
Thank you for this 🙏🏼
I can only recommend to start away from it. It's not worth it. I was recovered for many years and thought I was rock stable mentally, but during some stressful time I triggered it again after smoking.
Definitely. It's good to check in with yourself before you smoke..see how you feel and where you are in life.
I’ve only been smoking weed for 5 months and every time I depersonalized after smoking, it would only last me a day to a week. I think it’s because I smoke too much. I would make 2-3 bowls for my gravity bong, and since bongs are a lot stronger, I should probably calm down on the bowls. I am fine on smoking on a half to one joint though. My tolerance is not high at all lmao.
Oh that's not the true dp bro. The true one feels like some bad psychosis
That’s not DP. You’ll know DP when you get there.
i read up that technically we’re only meant to take 2-3 puffs of whatever we’re smoking lmao i was smoking 2-3 JOINTS a day 😅
Thank u so much for this video
I smoked for 2 weeks, everyday I got high with dab pens, bongs, joints, and it was all okay until one day I tried a very strong sativa strain, I got paranoia and anxious when I heard police sirens, I was cold, I did too much exercise and I was alone for half the day. I’m feeling slight depersonalization, is it safe to continue after 9 more days of waiting?
Why it’s back again, almost done around 60%.
Suddenly drop again even more than before, now it’s comes with can’t remember road like example: when I go for walking I almost forget the road and same road I use for walking everyday fell like new road every time.
Your comments always help me.
Thanks a lot
You never know, maybe in 10 years or even less you’ll be able to smoke the same as you used to and enjoy it. It may seem like a long time but in the grand scheme of things not really. Also working on your stress coping mechanism will only accelerate this process.
Nah i think it'll take much less than that. Depends on how fast you recover naturally and how you feel during recovery because depending on how you feel it could delay your recovery.
I smoked some weed at my peak of dpdr months ago and it actually wasn't that bad. I guess im special minded then if the same doesnt happen to you
Just found this channel super dope. I’ve been feeling as amazing lately & haven’t felt any dpdr lately. Might smoke again. 2017 I got dpdr. Recovered and smoked again and felt amazing but I ended up overdoing it and really fucked myself. I know now to keep it moderate
Appreciate the compliment. Yup, definitely take it easy man.
So how IT feel smocking after
How Much you smoke
How did you heal urself
My trigger I think occurred because of a heavy bad quick trip I endured from smoking 60mg Salvia. I re-enter that trip "feeling" now when I smoke weed. I'm guessing that's this disorder. Where the fabric of life seems to unravel itself in my minds eye through the sensations of my body. It's scary. It's like feeling everything about me is water, evaporating.
me and you in the same boat so how do we fix it, are you spiritual
@@isaiahsmith2705 I rarely touch weed nowadays because of 20 some plus odd times of using it. I just get swallowed back into that state. If I do use weed, its a small edible mg amount and just before I sleep. These days I'm trying out the Wim Hoff method with breathing, cold showers, temperatures, etc. and tapping into good spaces within me. Slightly discomforting to do at first, but feels great afterwards. Not having to breathe for about 2 minutes is a trip. I understand one can tap into their own DMT with his method. Just takes some patience and practice. In the end, saves me a ton of $$$ from buying weed haha
The only alternative to get out of this state. I think? Is probably a proper clean LSD trip on a sober mind. Unfortunately that stuff hard to come by for me.
Oh yes spiritual work is the only way
I’m 15 and had my experience with weed 8 months ago now.The DP/DR kicked in after i got a really bad chest infection which was precisely 1month after smoking the weed.Is it possible the weed didn’t cause the DP/DR? if so can i go back to smoking weed?
Was the chest infection traumatic for you? The only infection i heard which could worsen dpdr is ear infections. But idek if it could cause it tho
I took almost 50+ hits due to my inexperience with the substance and pretended it was like tobacco 30min later I woke up in an ambulance and now I am stuck with a very intense 24/7 dpdr, it’s HELL!
You still got it?
How are u now?
Checking on you man. How are you doing?
@@davidudechi4316 he prob still got it, i had the same experience except no one brought me to the hospital and i still have it after like 4 years
Thank you!!!
I helped my friend smoke and he blew some in my face so now I'm contact high
But I'm ok
Hey Swamy! I have really bad dp/dr and I don’t get anxiety when I smoke but I’m scared it might make my recovery process longer, should I worry about that ?
This is a common worry. If you're not feeling up for it, or if you have a lot DPDR then don't do it... Take it easy, you can reconnect later.
People are just over thinking smh. dpdr tends to make people anxious to try weed again for a long time or for whole life. It's all anxiety. If you don't have anxiety like me... you are blessed:)
Exactly what i'm saying!
Dpdr triggers flight or flight which causes extreme anxiety and mental problems. If you don’t have a problem, keep doing what you like, if you have it, do what makes you feel most comfortable.
Well said
Would it be better to use indica instead of sativa to prevent or not not increase the dpdr?
If I smoke cbd weed , .03 thc and al cbd i should be fine right?
Great tips! And if you've been drinking heavy dont smoke... you'll get bad sick.
My senses feel different like I feel more sensitive to things that I usually don’t think about is that apart of DP?
Jill Robin in a way, do you feel anxious thinking about them ? Because all that dpdr is is how your nervous system reacts to things, defense mechanism etc etc
Despair TheWumbo i don’t get anxious thinking about it because I try not to I just try to distract myself but I can’t ignore the effects
Jill Robin really the only way to let it go away is to kind of accept it and processes it, those are usually one of the major ways, but just know weird thoughts and existential thoughts are totally normal, just know you’re here and you’re okay :> I’ve battled it, and I’m getting over it, letting myself know it was all in the past, my experience etc etc :>
Despair TheWumbo okay thank you a lot 👏🏽❤️
Jill Robin I wanted to correct myself and say that the existential thoughts are part of DPDR as those thoughts are meant to help us stray away from the ‘danger’ there’s a UA-camr called TheAnxiety Ninja that explains it very well, kinda cheesy, but he gets his point across on it being okay, and that you’ll be okay and soon be back to normal, the feeling is hella shitty, I remember I had my low points, but learning to climb the same mountain only to find a different path will help us in our next journey, you’ll be back to normal in no time :> stay strong and shit if you have any questions or need someone to talk to you can ask whenever yo !
I have dpdr for five months now and it still feels the same 😢 and I smoke weed just recently
Is it safe to try weed again once you are recovered right? I mean, you have processed the trauma and NOW you know everything Will be alright the next time you feel a little bit anxious... There are people here who have done that? I mean try weed again and be ok with it?
This is not medical advice. I'd say go easy. Start with low dosage and see how you feel and take it from there.
Just stay away from it. I recovered from it but triggered another episode by starting again
Drugs are not for us

I guess it was for you. It's not going to be like that for everyone, and many sayings like that are just scare tactics by people who don't know 100% if they're right on what they're saying.
And according to my fellow online psychonaut who shared his story to me on reddit a while back.
if u are thinking this way, u are not completely recovered. u still fear the anxiety, why?
I just tried it with my mate and I’ve had to leave him because it felt like he was making fun of me when he was laughing , it’s like Im in a game and my hands aren’t mine , when I walk it feels like time keeps looping and I’m back in the same spot , I can see emotions and it’s freaking me out , I haven’t gone through the stages of laughing but I’ve had 10 hits of a joint and I just don’t feel like I’m real. Please help
I had the same. I know 100% what u are feeling. Many people feel like this. Just chill man it wil go away 100%%
I love the cruise it makes me stress free and makes me scared of smoking weed which is good and I don't really feel pressure when I don't think about the Dpdr thing it makes me feel like I'm a special being 😅😅 just feel comfortable with it and for sure it will leave
Hey can u do a couple more of these videos. With smoking weed after depersonalization
Any specific questions that wasn't covered in this video?
Swamy G hey thanks for responding bro. And yes. I have a few. Can you go further into depth on how sativa works for you better and helps not cause anxiety. Also if you do smoke again and have anxiety, what should u do. Also do u have any tips on how to stay calm and happy before u smoke. Or during it. Thanks man
Basically just how to smoke weed without freaking out and having anxiety
Swamy G hey man
Tell me if you smocked back
I smoked weed with my friends while having dp and didnt get a panic attack but i wqs already drunk so i was rly scared and all that
Your comment is 1 month older than my mental suffering
I smoke like twice a week at my mates house and I think the reason why I feel derealised is because i smoke too much. I smoked around 15-20 cones every week and it fucks me over for school and almost everything in life for at least 1 week. I think the solution is to smoke in smaller amounts so I’m going to maybe only smoke 5-10 and hope it makes it better
Did you overcome the derealization with smoking less weed?
@@evv5152 I just stopped for like a year and now I'm all good
@@influx7048hey man, I was smoking weed whilst I had dpdr for 2 years. I am young like you also. Did you also smoke whilst you have dpdr?
I have derealisation but not smoking pot is out of the question if I’m not under the influence of something my ocd catch’s up to me. iv smoked pot only twice but whenever I do I feel happy again like I did before it became so debilitating. Dose anyone have any advise to prevent my dp from getting worse without for lack of better words quitting? Because it’s pretty much fine now but I would prefer for it not to become worse?
I had a bad panic attack while smoking weed and it’s caused me to feel super different and I didn’t know what it was I couldn’t explain it and I was sooo scared to smoke weed again and I realy wanna smoke again but I’m just scared I’ll realize I exist and have a panic attack again and idk what to do
Ive just found out about this i smoke everyday of ever hour lol ik its alot aha
but i just Started to feel hazyy and weird Its all about Pacing your self an not going over board im gonna start pacing my self im taking a break from weed untill i start feelin normal again after im going to start smoking Once a day at night hopefully things start to feel better soon I hate not smoking weed lol
Hey bro I'm in the same boat, it's been 3 months since I smoked I had DP for like a week. Did it come back for you?

This happens to me when I try dank vapes 🤦♂️
Apocalypse Beatzz how did you recover from it same exact shit happen to me
Apocalypse Beatzz same
Did it go away ?
@@dariodelgado2043 Yes - accept the anxiety/DP and let it do its job. It will go away.. Dont resist it. Its build up energy you have to accept and let the body release
@@ghostpooke you smoke again after it went away ?
I cant smoke again, starting to miss it. But my dpdr stems from trauma and have it all the time anyways, so I cant smoke.. I used to abuse cannabis for 24/7 for over 1 year and a half. But cant anymlre because I have multiply og mentale illneses, and physically ill and don’t function. It used to help in the begging but I don’t think it’ll anymore.
I am 13 years old and I used to smoke we’d due to the people around me I never felt bad or anything, but then I ate a whole bag of 500 mg thc edibles not know how much that is. Let’s just say it scared me so bad, it’s been 6 days I feel better, and is anyone experiencing that their furniture looks different maybe it’s just me but also my body really wants to smoke weed but on the other hand I am scared that I will feel worse or it will come back. I am getting better day by day I will feel like I am there and present but then it will just going back to feel like I’m not there but anyway don’t hate please leave down a comment if you feel like you furniture lookes different and also if I do smoke so much will it go away or make it worse.
You have to stay away from weed. Especially at your age. Your brain is still developing a lot. If you interfere with with the development of your brain, you can damage it. Weed is meant for medicine. Not recreational. People will disagree. But that’s the truth. Please don’t get influenced by your friends to smoke. They think it’s cool but it’s not.
holy shit a bag of 500mg at 13, that must have been terrifying
rattlesnake survival yeah
@@savannahtuley386 did you smoked weed after dpdr ?
Bro trust me, stop smoking weed, your brain fully develops at around 24, you’re way to young and your brain underdeveloped is a factor. My derealization left after a day and I would check everything and think to myself “was the sky always this bright or did the derealization fuck with my sight?” Or i would constantly check my hands to see if the looked normal, I would look around and think did the world always look like this? don’t do that, stop worrying so much. Just know that you will be ok and stop putting so much thought into that stuff because it’ll make you think your still not okay. Just live life,surround yourself with people you enjoy being with, do things you enjoy, listen to music you enjoy and bring back memories and u will slowly feel better and better. Sorry this is a very late reply, hope your doing better !

I realy thought some time i should not use that last joint
okay but what if my dp was caused by emotional trauma and then psychedelics? of course now when i smoke weed i get panicky and feel like this isn’t real life but i have completely stopped and i still feel that way. so i guess i’m just wondering if weed wasn’t the complete cause would i still be able to smoke it in the future after i heal?? also side note, i did shrooms last oct and i was having some symptoms of dp but then two months ago i did molly and it completely fucked everything.
damnnn mines from trauma too
@@maddidabest8750 i’m sorry:/ shit is literally awful, i hope you’re doing okay
I got dpdr my friend bought some cbd weed, she lit it up and I smelt the smoke I got supper paranoid all tha way home and soon as I got home I felt high and I was freaking out for three hours straight it’s now tha day after, and i feel like scared more nervous and anxious I feel more dissociated and stuff I had dpdr for a year and from smelling tha weed or my long panic attack, did it stop my recovery process? Or did it reverse my process I made so far?
So CBD can’t actually get you high it just makes you relaxed. I had bad DPDR all through Senior Year Of Highschool since I tried smoking the first time. I can even show you videos of me tripping and explain it more because I have a Snapchat that people add me from these videos and so explain as much as I can to help if your interested my snap is. (BrendonVallery). I can tell ya everything ab it and how to overcome it I eased myself into weed and I can smoke now and be fine even tho all the shit I went through
You were likely just psyching yourself out. I don’t mean to invalidate you by any means though! If it is fully CBD, it will not be able to get you high, and just smelling it versus actually smoking it will not give any effects.
Just remember panic attacks can cause high-like sensations. I fully believe you’ll be alright and your recovery didn’t reverse at all, just a bump in the road.
Have you managed to maybe smoke alot more by now ?
I use smoke weed but i stopped like 6 months ago after getting DR and i lost DR so can i start back to smoke weed now??
Omg i was gonna ask the same question😭
How did you know it’s gone?
So if you got weed induced DP does it mean that you're anxious and that anxiety will stick with you even if you overcome the DP and DR? I'm scared that I have anxiety now and it will stick with me because I didn't use to be anxious at all. Someone please answer I'd aprecciate it
I personally have had both for 3 years. It took me 2 years to leave my house after that it was the best decision of my life to leave and prove to myself I could do it. You have to over come the first steps.
@@babykelso7293 So did you fully overcome it yet? Or not yet? If not I really hope you recover soon bro you got it, for me I've had it for a couple months probably like around 7. I feel like I feel a lot better than I did before but I'm not fully recovered I feel like, I feel like I always wanna go to the past and feel nostalgic literally about everything which has led me to be sad as about my life recently, but supposedly being sad is normal during this but I just wanna know how does it feel like to be fully recovered if it makes sense because I've been so sad lately and nostalgic and I just wanna be 100 percent recovered but I'm tryna hang in there and be patient, anything you wanna tell me bro ? Please let me know id like to talk to you about this and thanks for replying btw.
I suppose I haven’t “fully” recovered from it. But now I can go out and stay places and do stuff. I’ve been able to for about a year (after 3 years of having this) where I am at in life right now my dpdr is definitely definitely still there but it’s not making life unlivable like it was before. I literally stayed 2 whole entire years at my house and didn’t leave once. We moved and it forced me to leave and I was terrified and had a horrible attack that night. But the next morning I woke up in our new house I felt so much better with myself being able to leave even that once. Then eventually I started going to small places and now it’s been a year since leaving the house and I can do whatever I want and feel like I have the confidence to not let my dpdr get in the way. And if you ever want to talk about anything ever you can Snapchat me or something. My snap is. Josephkelso97
I also use cbd my dpdr was triggered by weed so it was scary trying it at first but I truly helps calm me down without feeling anything. I can’t smoke or “use” anything with thc anymore which I’m okay with
@@babykelso7293 Damn bro I see , well I'm glad you are feeling way better and can do things now without this thing getting in the way keep going at it, I'm pretty sure mine was also triggered by weed but I'm also feeling way better, sometimes I forget I even have it but it comes back when I'm not distracted doing something, so that's what scares me like I forget but the feeling comes back when I'm not doing something fun but I hope we both fully recover soon bro I feel like my derealization is worse than my depersonalization now but they are definitely not as bad as they use to be, thank God what confuses me though is that when do people start to know that they have fully recovered and how do they feel during the process that just confuses me tbh but hey ill add u on snap my snap is juanb1982
Please tell me were are you all I want to meet you all and want to share my experience of dpdr because none of my friend is able to understand this I need your help I am an Indian
Sucks i cant smoke period it gives me anxiety and panic everytime even with a very little bit
Why on Earth would someone want to go back to using a substance which may have caused his/her DP/DR in the first place?
Good question. As I said in the video, my DP/DR was not a result of marijuana use. Also, I put up this video for anyone who wants to smoke/use cannabis but wants to do it safely without further harming themselves.
@@yox2822 Have you tried hemp flower? It seems to be working for a lot of people.
because for most people, the relationship with weed was changed due to dpdr that was brought up for other reasons (mine was emotional trauma). The weed itself didn't cause the dpdr, it only made it worse. So for people who are curious to try it again, they're trying to see if people's dpdr was at a level where it's barely noticeable/absent, would our relationship with marijuana return back to normal. We just miss the ganja mannnn
Becuse weed was amazing before the experience. Trying to experience that calming feeling again without the crippling anxiety I get now
Shadow God weed is not everyone it alters the state of mind.if you are already in an anxious state of mind and you consume weed then you are most likely to have panic attack which can trigger or make dp/dr worse.so I suggest you never go near that shit
Guys I smoked yesterday for my first time in 4 months of break for having dp I got a good high nothing bad happen to me I don’t have dp nothing I think is fine to smoke after dp just don’t abuse it take a break off smoking too
thank you I’m about to try again 🥰

last month i smoked weed, i smoked 0.2 but it vas a strong strain, got dp but in few days i started to feel better and in 2 weeks it dissapered, since then i never smoked weed but i will try a bit when i''ll feel ready, but another strain ofc:)) a weak strain
Add my snap BrendonVallery
can i have an update on how your smoke was ! DId dp come back?
@@asherroberts5239 yes, now i smoke once a week, and is ok, no dp
I had a really bad edible experience last year in January and after COVID hit my city in March is when my dp/dr started. I was working at a grocery store so I was working in the public and I’m not sure if it started due to the edible experience or the stress of the pandemic. My dad also passed September 2019 so I had a lot on my mind. My dp/dr was getting a little better up until this past week when something happened that made my stress go way up.. I just want this to end and hope I can heal.
Yes it will heal dont worry
I got a question I just got high out of nowhere because I was outside my house and there was a lady smoking weed and I smelled it and 5 minutes later I was high and I’m very scared because I have depersonalization from a bad weed trip?
Jose Alegandro you probably associate the smell of it with being high and high being DP so it triggers it
I had a horrible experience but I still smoked after
Did anything happen?
@@asherroberts5239 no it was good
I stopped smoking in 2019 around March and that’s when I first got dp and dr then I stopped smoking till later in November I took one hit and I said nope lol that was it for me I felt the dp and dr again for a little bit then the next day I didn’t feel any of it but now I really miss smoking weed it used to be enjoyable I don’t have dp and dr I want to try and smoke again should I ?
How did it go ? I smoked with dpdr and it only makes it worst
@@thc7865 I still haven’t smoked since but I want to.
You smoke yet?
See I got dp/dr one night I guess I was already stressing from something and I was high off my dap pen and it’s been a month and a half I could say , and there was a time where I felt like it was gone but not fully . I’m just scared of havin this for years and years like I’ve seen comments of people having it for along time and I’m scared of that like I want to heal and o want to fully recover any tips ? Like trust me I’ve seen almost everything on how to recover it’s just having it for a long period of time so what scares me . I want to live my life without thinking about it and without feeling it . I can say I’m not gonna smoke pot till I’m about 50 years old . I just get intrusive thoughts as if I didn’t have it already been It was like 2 weeks were I had forgot about it . Just anyone help me out
During Halloween I was stoned for 2 days straight and I’ve had dr since. I don’t have any tips but it should go away soon and try not to think about it. Distract yourself with activity’s but if it’s a rlly bad day then rest
How have you been lately? I will give you advice and try to help if you are still struggling with it. Or are you better now?
Why does Benzodiazepines help so much with DPR? 🤔
Can depersonalization and panic attacks from weed turn into schizophrenia? I’m very curious and nervous
acoachcalledlife.com/dpdr-and-schizophrenia/
Swamy G ok awesome. I was just curious because I want to start smoking again but I’m nervous that it’s gonna turn into schizophrenia this time not dpdr
Swamy G only reason I asked is because I heard weed can cause schizophrenia. That’s why I freak out sometimes lol
@@jonn8911 don't smoke weed
Virskovskiy if I take it in small doses I’ll be fine
I had it. Felt crazy. Now I feel 75% normal and get stressed at stupid shit like my old self, fuckin hate it so I smoke again I’ll deal with DP if it comes again, my normal self is fuckin miserable
STOP CONFUSING DEPERSONALIZATION WITH DEREALIZATION THERE IS A DIFFERENCE
what diference
Do you smoke weed with a lot of thc or cbd?
Yes THC more than CBD. Although I don't smoke that much, just do edibles.
can I ever go back to smoking like I used to?
If you don't get anxious on it and believe you could smoke it, yes
Because me and someone else here will be back to smoking again

@@jennifercellini9409
Hey sorry for late reply. I plan on smoning in 1.2 years to be exact, cause i got dpdr from 10 months ago and want it to be total of 2 years before smoke again
If you have derealization and smoke weed during it, what will happen?
It was cause a rip in the time-space continuum.
It makes it worse
@@RealSwamyG 😂😂😂
Well i have DR. But i don't really give a fuck anymore about it. I smoke weed every day, and nothing changes so why not. (Sorry for bad language)
For me dr gets better when i get enough sleep. And your sleep pattern has to be good.
You can still smoke weed. If you get anxious when smoking weed, just pick a strain with low thc levels.
Hey. How you doing now man?
I believe weed will be usable for me in a few months. When i tried weed 2 weeks ago, this altered empty feeling just enhances but i still 50% enjoy the high.
I took lsd when i was 16 naw im ok
I got a feeling that a high CBD strain would help the brain regulate
Yer I agree but most weed hardly has any cbd
Did it work?
@@AlejandroLopez-rs6qt yes it works
How it work so you was going through dp/dr also
@@AlejandroLopez-rs6qt yeah I was going through Derealization I believe that smoking weed helped regulate my brain to recognize the difference of when I was and wasn't high or at least as far as how I saw the world
Absolutely no more weed, psychedelics or stimulants......or alcohol for me. I'm done. I'll let the young guns and experienced psychonauts have those rides. Put me out to pasture.....I'm cooked
That's the spirit brother.
Are you ok tho?
Perhaps later on in life you would change your mind
I’m you but still I tried again but didn’t work I stick on antidepressants or Lamictal 100mg help with psychosis
I started experiencing dpdr chronically after quitting weed although I’ve had times while smoking that I dissociated but snapped out of it. After quitting completely life has felt unreal and I can’t connect to my emotions and surroundings
I'm experiencing the same thing, I'm on day 7. How long has it been for you?
Month 7. Starting to slowly get a little better though. Went from level 10 dpdr numbness to about a 7 or 8. It’s a process
@@arishojaiee6483 Have you tried/do you think using going back to a small amount of marijuanna and tapering off can help? Do you think it might make things worse? I don't know if I can manage this for months..
Wouldn’t hurt to try! I smoked for 20 years which is why I think mine is so bad. I recently smoked and it wasn’t the same.. like the part of the brain that made me feel high is temporary offline.
I sure do miss it though. Smoking weed was my normal. It gave me clarity. Used to get me a sense of well being and give me an excited feeling about life or warm fuzzy feeling inside. Constant dopamine all day everyday might have exhausted my receptors though. I’d say try moderation see if it works for you.
How did you overcome DP?
acoachcalledlife.com/my-depersonalization-story/ plus check out my other videos and articles. It's all there.

Shadow God yes your body needs time

@@HIRAMECLARKEHOPS I've had it 15 months and it wont go its like tripping
How long did it take you to feel connected again
bad idea, you can live without it, in my point of view.
It's a personal choice. This video is about safety if people do choose to consume cannabis.
Yeah I think to myself is it worth the risk? That feeling was horrible and I know how much I would regret it if I smoke and got it again. Smoking isn’t even a necessity, so many people don’t smoke so why am I pushing myself to do it? I love the feeling and miss it up I’m better off without it, my lungs would be healthier and there is no risk. It’s not worth it to me, shit was to traumatizing. I always reject blunts and carts from my friends because of this. You don’t need weed, so why risk it yk?
I smocked and IT felt kinda cool
That's a good sign!
Some people successfully been using weed properly to treat their dpdr. But most of the info are just scare tactics and many people won't be able to do it again for a long time.
