    Your English is great. I applaud you for not smoking that stuff anymore. My daughter is using that and it is awful to watch what it does to her. After that gets out of your system I think you will feel so much better.

    Give your body a couple of weeks to adjust. You might feel strange for a while, and you could have some disturbed sleep and wacky dreams, but you will adjust. Cannabis paras are horrid, but staying away from it for a while, and anything else that could make you jittery, like strong coffee, sorts it out for almost everyone - anxiety and cannabis just do not mix. Get some nice soothing routines going, eat well, think about taking some exercise and look after yourself a bit. All will be well.

      Although cannabis use is SOMETIMES related to the development of psychosis in individuals who are susceptible in some way, the vast majority of cannabis users have experienced the 'FEAR', as it is well called, at one time or another, or feelings of detachment or displacement that go away when they sstop using it for a while. Kind of goes with the territory, so there's no need to terrify yourself with fears of incipient schizophrenia.

    UPDATE: So i went to the docter for a check up because i was still worried and it wasn't getting better he gave me some medication.

    He also told me that weed is known to mess with your senses like eyes and hearing and smell etc... he told me if it wasn't better before the next moth i needed to go back.

    The medication is kinda strong i'm tired and down all the time.

    i hope i can finnaly get normal again.

    What was your doctor's specialty? Did he give you steroids of any kind?  I would like to try some of the ones discussed in these discussions.  I sure hope you start feeling better very soon.

      it's just the docter where i g when i'm sick but he knows a lot about it i don't think it ae steroids but it's something to stop the psychotic feeling and don't think and stress about everything all day.

    It sounds a lot like derealization/depersonalization, which can be caused by numerous things including drug use.

    Hopefully it does go away quickly, and it's good that you are getting treatment.

    i think i have derealization disorder the symptomps they say on the internet add up to what i feel...

    i don't feel that i'm depersonalised at all i can talk to people like i was before but everything just feels like a dream and not normal i hope it goes away fast..

    tomorrow i go to the docter again to talk about it and see if it's really that
