Derealisation during withdrawl phase

Postby darklord777 » Sat Jul 09, 2016 3:13 am

Hey guys!

First time poster here, and I want to talk about an issue going on with myself. After getting extremely high one night and having struggle getting to sleep that night (followed by a very vivid dream, first in about a year) , I stupidly went looking on the internet for things that were potentially wrong with me. After getting terrible thoughts about shciz, bipolar etc, I put down the weed after 2 years of daily use.
I started to feel very out of touch with the world, I have always been an anxious person but the weed obviously masked that the past few years ( also why I thought myself into thinking I had a mental illness) .
Its almost been 2 weeks since I stopped smoking and Im feeling a damn lot better since the first day I started experiencing these derealisation feelings (much more down to earth).

Up until maybe 2 days ago, I think I was experiencing what seemed to be derealisation , as if I was stuck in a bad dream at times, some periods were bad and other periods I felt almost nothing at all and like I was back to my normal self. However, although I feel like I'm nearly back to my old self , I feel as if I am missing the last 10% of something, just not sure what. I am now struggling with thinking back to how I felt last week and the week before (as if they are a blur) and its as if I am very traumatised by the whole experience, when I start to dwell on it, the feelings somewhat comeback. Keeping in mind this is the longest I have been sober in the last two years, its as if I've almost forgot how it feels to be sober and how it feels to view life. By no means am I belittleing people who suffer from this illness regardless of drug use, Im just unsure if its my mind coming to grips with the sober world, or if I have almost triggered something from the constant drug use. The fact that I have been getting better day by day makes me feel positive that it is just bad withdrawls.

I hope this makes sense to you all, and I thank you all very , very much in advance for any help. God bless. :D
