how to avoid "depersonalization" when smoking

Depersonalization (or derealization) is the feeling that 'nothing is real'; there is no or little sense of reality. It can be desirable, such as in the use of recreational drugs, but it is usually referring to the severe form found in anxiety and in the most intense case, panic attacks. It is most often described as a symptom of emotions, such as panic or fear. A sufferer feels that he or she has changed and the world has become less real â?? it is vague, dreamlike, or lacking in significance. It can sometimes be a rather disturbing experience, since many feel that indeed, they are living in a "dream." The DSM-IV categorizes depersonalization disorder as a dissociative disorder, though depersonalization proper is more often characteristic of the traumatic origin of other conditions.

This might help.

this is confusing if weed was an escape then where am I escaping to and where was I imprisoned that I have to escape......................any way if people give you crap then dont kick it with them it will cause trouble. I your smokin so much that your jumpin outta a plane and dont know it then mabey your friends gotta point. However educat your self with the latest herb facts and then when they give you shiait you can educate em or just know their dumbasses. I these panic and other wierd things happen then mabey theirs a problem............herb is not for everyone if you smoke and go into convultions its probly a bad thing

Ahh I escape to myself I guess, yeah It feels really good. I usally havent felt apart of stuff that was going on in my life for a long time. Actully for as long as I can remember before smoking Ive felt this way, a couple years ago It got worse by smokin. I Love smokin tho and Im not planning on quiting, Ive been developing new ways to enjoy with out the negative aspects. Depersonalizeation is just how ive always been. I dont hang with people that give me crap, Im a loner but I dont always stay to myself. I smoke weed now like im taking mushrooms or something I plan out my blaze session and just chill If things are really mellow. It feels really good afterwards If I get through it all chill. Im a insecure person I usally dont feel good enough for anything so smoking takes me away. But smoking and getting that good feel is a real uplifter.
