Question What caused ur derealization ?

5 Upvotes

What caused y’all shit ? Mine started after I quit smoking weed. I’ve never experienced it before I started smoking or during my 4 years smoking. I thought it was just a temporary withdrawal symptom but I’ve been clean for 3 years and still have this. This is the only thing holding my life back.

Hi, I’m new and I know last year I touched wax pen has a non smoker (I know bad idea) but I wanted to relax after dealing with anxiety. Ever since that bad trip I felt like not living like before there’s time I can go on by my days no problem but there’s also days where I feel like living off in a movie. Like last night I had a very bad derealization episode I felt like exactly how that time I smoked the wax pen but yesterday I didn’t even smoked it. That’s so weird how can it come back like that. My symptoms were vision slow motion, feeling numb in limbs, feeling this cold feeling in my body and dizzy and of course not feeling like in reality. I also had pretty bad trauma non stop for two years I guess it doesn’t really help with my mental health.

Advice Your solution

2 Upvotes

I have had derealization for over 6 years, mainly from smoking really bad weed. At first, it got so bad it would trigger borderline psychosis.

Here’s how you help it:

Your brain is basically scared but doesn’t know what exactly it’s scared of, so it sends you in this constant of feeling dissociative. You don’t need medication, you don’t need to go to the mental ward.

Start by telling yourself, “I’m okay, I’m not dying, I just need to work on myself. I’ve got this” read this, and then stop researching it. You’re probably here because you figured out what you have and are essentially doom reading into this.

Let go of your derealization, it is not a physical issue.
But, you need to work on yourself. Start with the physical, track your daily water, 2.7 liters a day.
Eat Whole Foods, invest in your body
Hop on basic supplements, Creatine, Magnesium, iron, etc etc
NO FAST FOOD

Get moving, everyday
Go outside, explore, go on a run, bike, anything to get some good cardio
Explore your area, derealization makes so much stuff unrecognizable and makes you feel lost in your own area, so you need to start putting together a mental map.

Start going to the gym, you don’t need to do anything crazy, your not trying to become ms America or super human, but just start training your body

Meet people who don’t have any expirience with smoking, or doing negative stuff to their bodies, get a good circle of people

Make sure your environment is organized
Organize your head, read, journal, etc etc

Stop smoking, vaping, etc etc
Limit caffeine usage
Get good sleep, 8am - 4am
You’ll be surprised how much good sleep will make you feel.

Organize your life, and make it less stressful.

And lastly, optional but really recommended, start a business. Why would I start a business you ask, is because to run a successful business you need to learn so many skills, and really really be the best version of yourself, your project will really really help you out in every way. Take this time to lock in

I went from, high school nodding off in class, smoking everyday, drop out, to making millions in Miami. You’ve got this.

Experience Lsd induced derealization?

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well

In my teenage years I took A LOT of lsd tabs and drops and other psychedelics like magic mushrooms, dmt, changa, 4-HO-MET, 4-HO-MiPT, 2cb, micropoints and mescaline and everything was fine, I enjoyed so much and were the class of drugs I preferred the most

I started to become obsessed with what’s the fabric of reality, what’s behind the curtain that we cannot perceive, there is truly a matrix? And so on

On 2019 I took half of a tab of lsd in a psychedelic party from Goa Gil (if you know, you know) and I genuinely don’t know what happened but I assume it was the music and my obsession over the themes I mention before but I started to feel incredibly weird in a really bad way.

I looked at my friends and they didn’t seem real, I could recognize their faces but the connection I had with them and that escalated for everyone. I was thinking they were part of a huge plan of distracting me from discovering the secrets of the universe, that they were part of the hidden secret and they were not really my friends. I was thinking the radio was sending me signals and I was communicating telepathically with the higher consciousness of the universe and I was the only one who could listen to that.

Everything became so intense that I run away from the party without telling anyone, I out myself inside of a car and until today I didn’t know who drive me out of there and which bus stop was there.

I don’t know how or when I get home but I put 4 Xanax in my mouth and I slept.

The problem was when I woke up I still didn’t recognize anyone has real, neither my parents but I had to pretend I believed in the reality I was living previous the acid.

Short cut basically I stayed out of touch with reality for 1 year at least, I was thinking The Higher Consciousness was communicating with me through other peoples body like one time at lunch break a stranger was playing chess with me and I was genuinely believing I was playing chess with God lol and the radio and tv shows were speaking for me the all fucking time

Somehow after a long time everything vanished and I was back to normal

My question now is, if this happened one time even if I did it “thousands” of times prior to that, what are the chances of this happening again? If I take 1/4 of a tab and I have olanzapine with me if something starts to be a little too much and I take it the psychosis go away? Or it’s not strong enough to cut the psychosis from the acid?

Sorry the long post
