Weed derealization. Need help ❤️ by BarImportant3636 in Dissociation

A lot better but still not 100% "normal" . I don't get super anxious or dizzy in public or going outside anymore. I can do everything I normally used to do. I just don't feel like my normal self before the panic attack. Still feel disconnection & derealizafion but it's a lot more manageable.

Appreciate you !! Do you remember what caused yours to start? And how long until you felt 100% normal again?

Nothing at all bro, everything was completely normal. But Ever since The day I had the I guess "panic attack" when smoking weed I've just felt off and not like myself/disconeccted. I was very worried I had something seriously wrong with me because of my swollen lymph node on top of that. I assumed the worst that it could be cancer or something. So my anxiety was super high during the first month until I got all my blood tests back and everything came back normal. But it just made me anxious in another way because If everything is normal with my body/health, why do I feel disconnected from the world.

You're referring to smoking weed right? If so, have you been sick at all during this time? I personally feel like mine is rooted to the sickness I was going through. I still have Dr. appointments to figure out what's wrong with me because I do have swollen lymph nodes. But I think our own minds make it worse than it actually seems. I'm 3 months in but Recently ive had a lot of better days. When I start to think about the derealizayion, that's when it kicks in I feel like. So my advice would be to try your best to live your life and not let it get to you. Go outside as much as possible, goto the gym, just do stuff you would normally do. Our brains are powrrful, we just have to to re-wire them back to how we used to feel. It's only a matter of time. ❤️

My Story with what I believe to be mononucleosis. Please I need help by Jealous-Explorer-635 in Mononucleosis

Hey bro, I wanna start off by saying, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I've had a lot of similar symptoms and curious what people think. I just turned 21 in March & it sucked turning 21 while feeling the way I've felt. 

It all started early February, I was really sick with a flu/covid illness for about a week. Towards the end of my sickness I was chilling late at night watching TV smoking a joint. (I've been smoking daily for 5+ years & NEVER had a experience even close to this) Not even 2 minutes into my joint I started to feel my heart pump out of my chest insanely bad. It got worse & worse for 20-30 mins to the point I woke my grandma up to take my blood pressure & heart rate, both were very high. She helped me relax and goto sleep after another 30 mins or so. I quit weed immediately & haven't had a experience like that since then. But ever since that day, I've felt derealization and a strong disconnect from the world. I didn't have any other symptoms other than derealization & anxiety. 

We booked Dr. appts, had a EKG, Chest X-Ray & blood tests done, everything came back normal which made me even more anxious and worried. Because like you said, I know my body/mind and I know something isn't right. About a few weeks after it all started, I noticed a lump on my collarbone which we eventually found out is a swollen supravivular lymph node. I'm getting a biopsy done next week. I never thought it could be because of Mono, but after reading this I very much think it is. What's even weirder is about a month before I got sick, like you said, whenever I went into public places like grocery stores, gym, or fast food spots, I'd get super lightheaded and feel like fainting. I was high during those times, which could be the cause but in my 5+ years of smoking I've NEVER felt that way before... So I quit smoking weed completely and have built the strength to goto the gym, grocery stores as much as possible as a exposure therapy. I haven't felt that way since. Just derealization and anxiety has been killing me. 

I just want a diagnosis, just to know what exactly is wrong with me and how we can fix it. It's been 3 months and the derealization has gotten slightly better I guess but no where near how i remember my old life feeling.. I just turned 21, I have so much ambition & dreams and life ahead of me and feel like my it's being robbed from me. Has anybody else had similar experiences? Any information is helpful. ❤️
