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

Please dont feel like your life is ruined.  I have suffered with anxiety and panic for years, but there was a time when I felt like it would never go away. Things do get better.  The best thing to do is just let it pass.. dont get scared by it.  Accept that you are having anxiety and that it won't hurt you.  You're NOT going crazy... the anxiety makes you "think" you are.  Good luck and keep your head up ok?

Right now I am experiencing the same thing... Shaking uncontrollably, scared, lightheaded, legs are weak and tingly. I feel like I'm going crazy and I'm going o die. I have only experienced this twice including right now and I really need a answer too. I just want to let you know I feel what your feeling. I'm only 13 but I feel like my life is ruined.

The "high" you are experiencing is a form of derealization. It is similiar to a pot high. There isn't anything wrong with it and it will not do you harm.

It is the brains way of "taking a break" from stressfull situations. Also, stop smoking weed. It isn't going to do you any good anyway.

im 14 and ive smoked weed ike 5 times in my life and the last i did was 2 weeks ago and it was like 6 puffs, the week after that ive been feeling a little of what you have all been feeling until last night when it hit me hard and i was scared ******** thinking I was high but being able to control my thoughts and movement like i am now. When i woke up today i can still feel it but not as strong, does anyone know how long this will last or how i can stop it?
This post is several years old.  You should start a new thread.  And no, nobody can know the answers to your questions because you are the only you.  My brain doesn't react the way yours does.  What is clear is that you're way too young to be messing around with strong drugs and that weed doesn't appear to be a good fit for you.

Also having more control over your life make your bed when you wake up plan your days keep you living space clean meditate meaning sit and do nothing let your brain sort out your thoughts be more organized fined a reason for your Existence realize there is no standard for who you are you can be and do whatever you want fined value for yourself.
See what I said before about using recreational drugs to "escape" reality.  Too often they augment our internal state, they aren't necessarily or even usually an escape from it.  A break is a good thing, as long as it is in fact a break and not an intensification.
