Hello all, joined to get some advice. Been having a few problems lately, hoping to get some help. First off though, I'll start with a few important details.
I smoke weed approximately 2-4 times a month. I'm 16 years old, and I don't think I've had any problems before...I'd say last year. Last year I started feeling depressed sometimes, even though I have no reason to, (good life, a lot of friends, etc.), and have been feeling depressed on and off. Recently though, after smoking weed one day I experienced depersonalization. Over the course of a month, it happened about 3 times, but only after i smoked. Then today, completely sober I felt the depersonalization feeling while in school. I went to the nurses to relax a little bit, and that is where I am writing this from. I am still feeling it quite strongly, and have also had some mild shakes and an increased heart rate. I'm planning on calling my a doctor once I get home, but in the meantime, I'd love to hear from other people. What do you think I have? Is the depersonalization branching from depression, or do I have anxiety? I do get very nervous and shy around strangers, but I'm not sure it's strong enough to actually be considered social anxiety. Anyways, I would love to hear from other people who have had experiences with depersonalization.
Also, I read that people have found it scary and weird, but I only felt that way the first time it happened. Now I kind of enjoy it, find it relaxing, I just dislike it in school like I felt today because I could not concentrate.
But anyways,
Thanks in advance for answers :)
