      I have got a question
      I am experiencing psychosis from THC and I am below 18
      is there anyway I can get rid of psychosis without meds
      it is really early psychosis because
      it’s just that I can’t think straight and can’t concentrate
      Mostly because it feels like I am not actually here and live In another world

    8 days sober from dabbing and almost 48 hours since my last Juul hit. I was in denial about my addiction for months and gaslighted myself into thinking my anxiety issues were all because of me. I too experienced psychosis and struggled extremely hard with depersonalization/derealization. I can keep it under control now, but sobriety is beginning to make me forget about those thoughts all together! I needed a wake-up call to stop and finding your channel has given me so much hope at a full recovery!

    I had a really extreme episode in 2009, this was after using regularly for three years, including cigarettes. I was also suffering through shame and depression, from dropping out of university. The scariest parts were the dillusions and disassociation: I thought I was being watched, that my parents weren't real, every person I saw was out to kill me, and everything had double meanings. I didn't get sleep for three days straight, no matter how much I tried. Took many months of quitting substance abuse, eating clean, meditation and working out. I isolated myself from everyone I knew, specially my smoking buddies. Took about two years to feel "normal" again.

    I don’t want to dismiss this video in the slightest, but don’t trip yourself out if you do experience some of these. I’m in the process of overcoming addiction just like most others here, but some of these symptoms, not all, overlap with anxiety and depressive disorders. So don’t allow this video to push you over the edge, self-diagnose, and start a nasty cycle of rumination. Best of luck to all of you, you can do it, you should be proud of yourself and don’t give up! As Dr Frank says, withdrawal symptoms are the sign from your body that you are winning :)

    • @XX-fh1lu
      @XX-fh1lu Год назад +8

      Exactly. Even looking through the comments, I see a lot of people saying they had a “psychosis” one time they took a substance. Not to dismiss anyone’s experiences, but most of what I’m hearing sounds like a strong psychoactive trip followed by intense episode of depersonalization and derealization. Psychoactive substances can and will induce hallucinations and detachment from reality… once you put down the substance, you will come back…
      Across the internet I see many people self diagnosing themselves with psychosis and as you said, this can be misleading…

You should not dismiss something just because you have not experienced it. All of those disorders are out of the window now that i am sober. A tiny puff of weed takes me out of this realm and i know not everyone reacts to weed like that, my tolerance is zero if not negative. So i know from self inflicted trauma that weed provides 2 gates one for pleasure and one unfortunate one to hell.

    I recently experienced an extreme bout of psychosis after smoking at least an 8th to a quarter ounce everyday for over 10 years. I also was taking 4-5 grams of psilocybin mushrooms for 4 days straight and on the final day, reality and my own sanity began to slip away. It was the most terrifying experience of my entire life and to hear this guy speak of the same experience has really helped me feel better about the whole thing! I am currently a month "clean" of THC and shrooms and haven't felt this good since before I started smoking!!

Clearly, the clean and sober life for me is going to provide me the most meaning, productivity, and happiness. I've already experienced some rebuild of relationship with my Adult son and my grandson. More to come with that when I get to step 9 (making amends) and reconnect with an estranged brother. Yes, God Bless AA. They welcomed me in with warmth and care.

      @@thecubism95thecubism honestly, hitting rock bottom and having a period in my life that was so bad it forced me to quit was the best thing to ever happen to me and something that most people don't have with weed. I spent 13 years not seeing how afraid it was making me of everything. Putting off simple things like going to the grocery store or returning a call because I got too high. The paranoia of always being high while driving and the possibility of losing my license. Having to always feel like I had something to hide. Feeling worthless and unable to respect myself or let alone stick up for myself to others because I was powerless to a plant that I didn't want to be using and was always promising myself that I would quit using "tomorrow". It had entirely eroded the person I wanted to be but it was so gradual that I didn't see it as the cause of almost everything that went wrong in my life during that time period. There are a thousand other things I'm sure I could list that I've noticed have changed for the better if I really thought about it.
      I'm grateful every day for that rock bottom because a lot of people don't get one with weed. Without it I wouldn't have gotten sober 3 years ago and a good chance I never would. Life still sucks sometimes but it's so much easier to face it when it does without being in a haze all the time. I promise you getting sober is one of those things that is worth trying again and again until it sticks because it feels so unbelievably good to be in control after not having it for so many years.
      I don't know if that actually answered your question but the short answer is life absolutely gets better after quitting. If you have any questions I'm always happy to share if it helps.

    I’m two months clean from THC and nicotine. About 1 month from adult content and “self-love”. Still drinking caffeine but I’m trying to cut that out too. And I still had a binge drinking night last week but I’m slowing down. I want to stop caffeine and beer too but so far I’m really happy I was able to quit the weed, nicotine, and adult content/masturbation.
    Thank you for your videos. I have a lot of addiction in my family so I’ve been passing this alone to my family. I can relate a lot with your videos. I’m so happy that you say things will get better because man I’m really struggling some days. I know it’s not real but I’m paranoid that my new job was a set up and everyone is watching me thinking I’m crazy. It’s getting really annoying because I have to keep reminding myself “no one cares” “everyone is just worried about themselves” and then I laugh it off but man it’s weird. I really really pray and hope that I get back to normal. I wish I never started but I was 15 and trying to be cool I guess. Now that I’m 33 I’m not really where I want to be in life and I know it’s my own doing and addictions that’s holding me back. I thank God for my two months sober. It’s was a real struggle. I smoked everyday all day for years except sometimes when I was working I would stop.
    I’m now going back to church. I’m catholic and going to confession has helped a lot with getting over a lot of my shame and guilt. I know it’s not for everyone but for me it’s really helped me. Talking to my priest is better then any counselor I’ve tried. And best part is it’s free. They don’t want anything from you. They just give solid advice to help you.

Weed really affected every aspect of my life and i didn’t know how much it was. I’m almost 32 and i smoked for the second half of my twenties to now. I went through so much pain of not knowing why I couldn’t grow up and get my shit together and now I know. The mental clarity I’m getting is showing me that and I’m able to do adult tasks and things make sense again . Every struggle was from the weed. And people really made my sense of reality more distorted by saying that weed isn’t that big of a deal. I’m getting so much more confident in my way of thinking now.

He was legit high 24/7 for over like 7 years. The rare times he was sober he would trip out and feel high

      So I’ve been having schizophrenic delusions even before I ever took THC. Like visually seeing things without drugs and etc, and my symptoms went away for like a couple of years and then I tried weed and boom I had the same symptoms again, but not more extreme than when I was sober- just getting high reminded me that oh! I might actually have schizophrenia because trust me I do not need drugs to feel as delusionally psychotic as I do right now, so like… what do I do?

      @Morpheous Brother, I know how you feel, I had to stop smoking because a part of my brain was opening up and eating me alive, it was all the memories of being abused and abandoned by friends and heavy psychological abuse from my mom growing up. Best way to help yourself is to talk to someone, it doesn't have to be a therapist, and I mean truly talk to someone, let all the feelings out and expose that part of you, because that's the only way to understand your emotions and how to gain strength from it, and understand yourself.

    I’ve quit vaping & smoking weed and the highs were never worth it. Now I have to watch my brother go in and out of psychosis for 4 years. Getting baker acted, going to jail, court dates, medication, rehabs. I know it’s hard but trust me, it is way way way harder for your family to take the shit you throw at them.

    Dude it runs in my family mental illness. When I smoke just normal weed any blend I see shit, hear shit, hallucinate. Things have gotten pretty terrifying.
    But since you brought it up man I’m glad you did. For the longest time I couldn’t make sense of it. My family and I drove cross country one year from Cali to New jersey to visit family. Anyways my step dad had just returned from an Afghanistan deployment. He would drive days on end with no rest. So on this trip he tought it would be a good idea to just drive straight there. It wasn’t. Here’s the story. My mom stayed up with him because she was navigating. This is back when we had paper maps no gps. Not even the car ones. Well we get there and ok so we go into a connivence store and my mom out of nowhere says to me. “ hey Trev, put this ticket into the lotto machine ( points at an ATM ) because we won! “ I’m like what? Mom common? We’re almost there stop. I brushed it off like didn’t even seem weird because it wasn’t funny just kinda stupid. But whatever we got back in the car and as soon as we get almost a block away from our destination. She goes. “ you guys are trying to kill me! “ now I’m like ok something isnt right. She’s running down the street I tell my dad go get grandma now! So I run after her and we end up at this house and awkward as hell poor dudes just trying to renovate his garage in piece. I calmly explained to him what was happening at the time. I mean I was only 11. He understood thankfully, my grandmother finally showed up and it took a minute but my mom thought she was still in Cali but I’m like no, mom we’re in NJ. Anyways I’ll end it there because that’s literally it. But it was always weird to me. But like you said lots of caffeine and no sleep plus maybe an underlying disorder. Who knows man.

    I had weed induced psychosis after smoking for one year. When I was a freshman in college (one year ago) I started smoking increasingly more, was dealing with health and family stress. I ended up going into psychosis for a month or two and became manic ( I am not bipolar). Only stopped after I quit smoking weed. I first had problems with sleep, I remember I stayed up for about 70 hours with no sleep. I also struggled with self care, I would no longer do my makeup, brush my hair or attempt to look presentable. Around that time I started feeling extremely paranoid, like everyone could see and feel my thoughts and eventually that my family and friends were conspiring against me. I unfortunately went on a trip to see external family while this was beginning, and it only got worse 2.5 weeks away from home. I kept smoking weed, as I felt like it decreased my anxiety but it only made everything worse. I eventually got to the point of extreme paranoia, seeing things, and hearing people talking, whistling, and a voice in my head. And that’s when I realized my family was right, I probably was going crazy. I began to have suicidal, and scary thoughts, and I also had COVID 19 at the time, or the flu. My family members with me had both. On top of the psychosis, the sickness convinced me I was going to die, or had cancer. I was struggling with health issues before this happened, which drove me into the stress, anxiety, and relying on weed. I quit weed and never went back but I have tried it since, and both times I tried it the paranoia came back and panic attacks, so I concluded weed is NOT for me. I still struggle with health issues (not yet diagnosed autoimmune disease?) , but I am in an extremely better place now considering where I was 10 months ago. I have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, ADHD.. which I am managing with treatment, time, therapy. If you are reading this, and wondering if you should quit weed, (especially if you have any of the before listed) quit. Coming from a 19 year old woman, being sober is the best feeling. Weed is 100 percent not worth the risks.

I started to notice I only had these crazy delusions when under the influence of thc. I decided to smoke just ONE last night and I got HUMBLED. I had vaped a whole bowl of some new potent strain and when I began to read words on my phone they all started shifting to the side, turned into completely different words, it felt like I was going insane and I blinked a couple times and it went away. Safe to say I went cold turkey that night and HAVE NOT revisited. But its for the best, the plant forced me to quit and im grateful..

    Wasn’t going to comment after seeing the comment section but this is my personal experience. I’ve been smoking as a hobby & for fun about 7 years now. When I started I was heavily into health & getting myself together. I would smoke & ironically go hit the gym with a few friends. (I was also micro-dosing, some of the people here smoke 8th a day, I just lightly smoke a bowl or two) I learned how to cook, I was eating eggs, chicken, avocados, fruits, etc. takings vitamins I quit soda was only drinking water. All while smoking marijuana, a lot of the people In this comment section have zero purpose in life & are self medicating to fill the void. Marijuana isn’t for everybody because it can be dangerous if abused, like any other substance. I’m a organized person I clean my room, yes I sometimes get lazy but still get the things done. Ive always been extremely social even when I’m high I can talk to regular individuals I don’t know lol. My confidence came from my discipline & hard work. Having a nice body helped me as well. the only reason I watched this video is because I was curious. Don’t abuse the plant guys & make sure you have your life in order, don’t mix substances. Only then will you reap the benefits of the plant, don’t over indulge. This is my personal experience, my condolences to anyone who feels trapped in their mind.

      @I am HomelanderDude, 'Hardcore' evidence, such a technical term.
      You assume a lot about how and why I use it. I have over a decade of training data from my triathlons and cannabis use has not negatively affected my cardiovascular performance, V02 max or recovery. I'm not a pro, never claimed to be one. Am I still in the top 1-2% of fitness in my age group? Absolutely.
      Would you have the same response to my earlier comment if cannabis was substituted with alcohol? Do you drink? If so, how horrifically detrimental to your health.

I recognize they are variable and depend from the day and the mood, slowly fading. So they're probably induced by weed.

    I tried edibles for the first time and I had a psychotic break. I had bad derealisation, paranoia, delusions and visual distortions and disorganised racing thoughts. I thought everything I was experiencing wasn't real and that I was actually on the ground having a heart attack and a seizure (even though I wasn't), I had delusions that if I saw things that didn't make sense then that was proof that reality wasn't real, I was paranoid that I was going to hallucinate people that weren't there and was paranoid that some evil being was going to come out of nowhere and attack me, I saw my friends literally freezing in time for 1 to 2-second long periods, I believed I solved some insane concept to do with black holes that helped create the theory of everything but I couldn't explain it, and I walked in a circle for 3 hours non-stop. The things that helped me the most were me accepting death and my sober friends grounding me in reality. Luckily it wasn't severe enough I had to go to hospital. Never doing that again.

      Yeah, it’s like a prank on your brain and nervous system, it’s trying to make you loose control so it can do it’s job and make you chill, but we as humans are so afraid of death and all these core fears we want to control the effects of weed and it only creates more issues and can lead to ocd or paranoia, that’s why some people can completely ignore the symptoms because they know the weed plays tricks on the brain for fun and also challenges you to release control either consciously or subconsciously.

    i recently hit my first blinker. it was really fun but it was different than other highs. i was tripping out pretty bad. i kept seeing different shapes that just brought a huge rush of nostalgia. every time i felt that nostalgia, i felt a kind of shiver. i had tripped out on d8 before but i never really thought anything of it. i didnt know that it wasnt normal to trip out like that on normal weed. its now a couple weeks after and i still have some weird side affects. sometimes when im driving, ill zone out at a stop light or just get a huge rush of anxiety. ive never felt like this before. its not normal for me to be tired like this all the time since im always talking to people. could this be because of mip?
