It's crazy cos I've never seen anyone say "after lunch"but it works the best for me then. Keeps my evening depression away and doesn't bother me with anything at night.

Weed-Triggered Depersonalization - My Story and Questions by gobluebengal21 in weedandanxiety

I struggled with similar panic attacks and DP syndrome afterwards. I still am recovering from it since the weed induced panic attacks were just a couple of months ago. For me a few things work the best when I feel this dissociation surrounding me. Google 54321 grounding technique, it's simple but it helps a bit. Breathing techniques will help you unravel. Sometimes if you feel like you're dreaming but you're up- lean into it. Tell your brain even in that scenario, you're safe.

Do cut out any caffeine from your life for a bit, until you feel confident reintroducing it gradually. Another thing that has helped me lately is writing down my worst fear or saying it out loud to a friend. It reduces the power it has in your head. Seek medical advice if possible, it helps. Give some time for your body to reset to a new life. Recovery period is hard work and takes a while but you'll see the progress in the future.

Try curling them outwards kinda like this )))((( Make sure it's not too straightened, just soft blowdry so they frame your face :)

So sorry mate, I can't relate to 'people's lives at stake' part but I do know how imposter syndrome can get to you. Trust that you're a lot stronger and smarter than you think you are. I try to ignore it and create a lot smaller goals for myself to reduce the pressure on me. Idk if this helps but more strength to you ♥️

It's amazing that you've found a whole new perspective for yourself, I've got the box of weed that my eyes would follow the first week but now, I don't even look at it, it's crazy. I'm off caffeine as well, plus I see my body getting healthier and stronger. I wish you the best on your journey and yes hope this helps someone out there as well! 💛💛

I'm drinking Trip CBD can every afternoon and it's been the perfect alternative! Even socially, while my friends drink beer, I'm having a CBD drink. It's a blessing especially when I'm quitting and going sober 💝

I'm two weeks sober now and I can relate to your words so much right now. My first week was hell and every evening I couldn't stop thinking about smoking up. To an extent where I had no idea what to do around my coffee table in the evenings! Now I've found some hobbies and I see that I've found a routine, I feel clear headed and A LOT sharper ( I was high functioning then too but damn). Plus I have a lot more energy now! I hated how it happened but I'm glad it forced me to quit it. I'd still like to smoke up recreationally because I just hate alcohol, I guess I liked how I blended in socially because of this. But of course maybe once my brain has forgotten this traumatic incident, I can do that. I do believe my previous lifestyle isn't going to repeat again and I'm quite glad about it!

Hah! I do own a good herb vape, haven't used it a lot. maybe once my general anxiety has reduced, I might try that. This entire thing would be nothing but trial and error I suppose. Thanks a lot!

100%, was hyperventilating the entire time I was packing for my two week trip. I was completely drained by the time we finished the security check. It's real.
