I realize now I had weed-induced psychosis which led to dp and now I'm completely dissociated and my cognitive abilities are low. My brain will most likely not develop properly and eventually develop into schizophrenia. I also have a lack of joy and constant emotional numbness meaning less serotonin and dopamine a factor in developing schizophrenia. My uncle is also schizophrenic. Didn't even know weed can do all this.

Have you gone to the doctor? What is their opinion?

One thing that kind of annoys me about your posts and makes me not want to respond -- not saying I am perfect about this -- is that they are riddled with factual inaccuracies like the following: "I also have a lack of joy and constant emotional numbness meaning less serotonin and dopamine a factor in developing schizophrenia."

You could just be numb because of the dp/dr? The monoamine hypothesis of mood disorders is complete horseshit tbh. Antidepressants increase serotonin in the brain within minutes to hours yet it takes many, many weeks for them to work. Antipsychotics block D2 receptors but dont work for a lot of patients with psychosis. They also dont really treat the cognitive and negative symptoms well.


What is for sure: If your uncle does have schizophrenia, I would definitely not smoke pot again.

So i have another thought. Depersonalization/ ego death is what you feel like your experiencing. I saw in a previous post you dont want to tell your parents because you dont want to make them have to pay money, thats nice that you consider how they feel.... however.... this has not served you well in the fact that your depersonalization has gotten worse without you being able to get help right? But the interesting thing to me here is that depersonalization is actually helping you in a way, the longer you have dpdr the worse you get and then theres not even a need to ask your parents for help because at that point your fucked already right. So in a way depersonalization serves a purpose in your life. Who would you be without the depersonalization? In other words who would you be without stopping being yourself and proceeding to have an ego death?

Its kindve interesting cause i talked with this neuroscientist once she was very spirirual christian and she told me how the more she studied people she learned that alot of mental illness and physical illnessses serve purposes in peoples lives like they are manifestations of their daily thought processees makes alot of sense honestly so much physical ailment is linked to mental and vice versa

Also your not going to develop schizophrenia DONT DO DRUGS though like if you dont have it right this second then you are in the clear and you definetly dont have it btw cause you make way to much sense and your incredibly smart by the way you talk about things you just feel dumb because you intuitively know your smart and are upset cause as smart as you are you havent cured your dpdr and have even got worse lol. Mental health is the trap for smart people cause we love problem solving things in the world but when it comes to mental health it becomes a shitshow pretty quick lol
