Depersonalization

[sharpezor]

Very little research has been done regarding depersonalization, either as a transient experience, or as a chronic pathological condition. Even though the term was acknowledged in the early 20th century, it was considered a more â??philosophicalâ?� idea than a psychiatric one (Mayer-Gross, 1935). Today, depersonalization disorder is described in the DSM-IV-TR (2000) as â??persistent or recurrent episodes of depersonalization characterized by a feeling of detachment or estrangement from oneâ??s self. The individual may feel like a robot or as if he or she is living in a dream or a movie. There may be a sensation of being an outside observer of oneâ??s mental processes, oneâ??s body, or parts of oneâ??s bodyâ?� (American Psychiatric Association, 2000, p.530)

I have had this once. This was my "im quitting weed post"

I'm now quitting weed b/c of a bad experience.

Went to a friends

4 of us got out of our mind stoned (like 8 bowls) i was like twiching and drooling and i thought i herd my brother scream (my brother was at home, not at my friends, hes only 11) it was totaly fucked. i dont even remember when i fell asleep. then when i woke up it was like my mind was all fucked up. I couldnt think right and it was like i was in some sort of dream world. like half stoned, half normal. I could controll my thoughts and actions but it was just a REALLY weird feeling, at one point i was on the verge of crying, becuase i hate that feeling so much. Now, a week later, i am just starting to get better. and this is why i quit. Maybe eating it would be better? Bc that deals with more of the body then the moind. I dont know what to do.

you know how weed cuts off oxygen to ur brain (thats why ur eyes go blood shot) does that happen when u eat it as well?

p.s ive been lightly smoking for abut 5 months now.

anyway I didnâ??t quit of course and time went on, and just now i found out what it was, its called "Depersonalization" and i just wanted to inform people who might be suffering from this and not knowing what it is. like me back a few months ago (by the way, my "episode" lasted about a week or so and its been a few months since the incident. It is not uncommon for THC to trigger this illness, especially if you have other mental problems like an anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and hypochondriasis.

that is some shit.

About a week ago me and a few of my boi's was smoking around 5 blunts and after the 1st hit of the 5th blunt I started not feeling good. Eventually I threw up and had this feeling like I was going to die and god was warning me to change my life around or some shit. That was the 2nd time that has happened to me too....is this the same thing as you?

sharp, are u really telling me im not a robot?

[flamingskullballs]

no mellow..your a robot...and also the governor of california...

yeah, most stoners practice a thing were you smoke till your comfortably stoned, which is why i dont like people who think that you "cant hang" if your done for the night...we all have different levels, some like to just feel happy and high, others smoke till they pass out...

[sharpezor]

[jfoster]

lol... that reminds me of this one time with my friends. we were all blazed and we were in a car. one of my friends says "im soo toasty!'' then my other friend said "im sooooo toasted"(in like a very stoned kind of voice)" we laughed for 15 minutes straight.
