Derealization - I feel like im high!(Completly Sober)

Everyday for the past week ive been dealing with derealization...It started out subtle and now I feel like im high and unaware of my sorroundings...Everything is a blur and I feel really limp like everything is in slow motion...Im really scared, my anxiety has never been this bad...I almost called 911 the past few nights cuz I cant sleep and I tend to dwell on my symptoms...Somebody plz tell me im ok I feel like im losing it...Im waiting for my DSHS interview for government aid but frankly im losing my patience I can't continue like this...I need help, ever since my first panic attack last January life has been a nightmare for me...I hope this goes away...Anyone else feel the same way on a daily basis

My husband has been going through something like this for 5 months, he used to smoke every day n would mske batches of weed butter, n get high of his meals. He eventually stopped n two weeks later he started feeling like he was high, kept asking me if it was possible to get high of the THC stored in his fat. He feels it the most when he wakes up, he says he feels hungover. Weak n nauseous. He feels it the most when he gets anxiety. Theres days when its not so bad. Im just glad that hes not alone, it brakes my heart knowing that he feels this way i cant even imagine what it feels like.

It's not stored in his liver.  He might have been self-medicating a problem and now he's not medicating it anymore, even without realizing it.  Anyone who feels a need to get high every day and not just on occasion for fun has developed a need to get high and not so much a desire anymore.  Even though pot isn't addictive, today's pot is very very much stronger than what grows naturally, and when you stop it you're going to feel different for awhile.  But again, he might have had this anxiety problem and was mediating it with the pot and now he's not and it's more noticeable.  If he's suffering from anxiety, he might want to focus on that.

. My name linden. I’m 14 years old and I have had the exact same issues. It’s  parnoi and anxiety. It all started after i stopped the use of pot. Also right after my anxiety attack too. Trust me you will be okay. The feeling doesn’t last super long. It only happens when u think or Talk about it. Just take w deep breathe and curl you’re tongue and breathe through it . It lowers your blood pressure. This feeling is almost like PTSD. Good luck and it’s okay and it all I your head

ive been going through this for about 2 months now. the first time i only felt it for about an hour and had a mild panic attack cause of it(i was at work too how great)and it went away. but then a few days later it came back and its been 24/7 ever since. it got a little better after a month but then i started to feel it more.. its awful but you just gotta fight it with your mind and not let it get to you, keep yourself busy and dont let it control you. its very comforting knowing other people are going through the same thing i thought iwas the only one! I also saw a doctor but had trouble explaining exactly what it was and he just prescribed me xanax. i only take it when im on the verge of a panic attack and it does help but i try not to take it a lot cause i have a very addictive personality.

I am a 16 year old female and I have been feeling like this for two days now. I smoke Mj but not on a very regular basis. I smoked it three days ago and ever since I feel as if I can't "come down". I have never had a history of anxiety or depression, just ADHD. This is a very scary feeling and I don't know what to do, please help.

For you.. relax, you're stressed out / anxious - being more worried will stress you out further - this is a safe state of mind  - where it is trying to protect you... Just really relax... do something fun, go out for a walk, take a cold shower and get some sunlight and if its really worse visit a therapist... try being calm and stop googling your symptoms a lot :) Cheers.
