Sociopaths direct hatred and abuse toward targets. A whole group can become psychotic. Like the lucifer effect. Narcissistic abuse can cause psychosis. Psychosocial education and words for the experience can heal psychosis. Finland, open dialogue therapy.
Can I have a relapse even though I cut weed, alcohol, and LSD for good? I'm so scared if I permanently change something in my DNA or brain to where I'm now likely to be schizophrenic. I was diagnosed with depression and schizophrenia symptoms. I took Risperidone for 10 months and no longer hear voices.
so is a bad trip/ intense anxiety and/or fear on weed the same as cannabis psychosis? had too many edibles the other day, I felt as if some youtube videos were like windows in my TV, I wouldn't say I was 100% convinced that they actually were windows, but could convince myself that it was plausible, was a bit shook to look out my window too haha so are these symptoms the same as a drug induced psychosis? Obviously the symptoms disappeared after the weed wore off, and this was after not touching any weed for about 8 months and then had about 3-4 times the recommended dosage because they weren't hitting me and I just thought they were weak, wasn't until I ate something that I realized I took too much lol
I experienced drug induced psychosis after experimenting often with psychedelics, and smoking weed multiple times a day in high amounts (I wouldn’t say I was doing it for the right reasons as I was literally trying to distract myself from reality) and it took over a year of complete sobriety to begin recovering from it. I wouldn’t even classify psychosis as strictly an “episode” or a “bad trip” (because a bad trip is more of a negative experience on the drug). Mine went on for months on end where I had forgotten social cues, how to have a conversation, and common sense things. I had forgotten things about myself and who I am, I didn’t understand how friendships, relationships or family worked, I didn’t understand any of my emotions. Something in my brain was simply not clicking and I’m STILL relearning everything. I still knew things, but it’s like I literally lost my mind and I felt lost, weird, and dissociative. It was the darkest time of my life. Only now, 3 years later, am I starting to feel like myself again.
i completely understand where you're coming from and have had many experiences with psychosis on psychedelics and its weird and sad and alone and uncomfortable and even your speech is completely ruined, words cant come out and it feels like your brain completely just burnt out and ur suddenly incompetent its terrible and traumatising and i completely get that 'lack of common sense, social cue' issue. i'm glad you managed to get out of it.. i'm still working on it
Hi Veronica I can relate and sympathise to so much of what you described here. I have been struggling like this for years now and there seems to be no escape. My emotions are offline and I struggle so much with memory and negative looping thoughts along with brain pains. Can I ask how you staged your recovery?
Hi! I think this happened to me a few years back as well. I used to smoke weed and drink several days a week for months and I thought that everyone was my enemy, even family members. I think i was 16 at the time, does anyone know if drug induced psychosis can be caused by weed alone? Really curious.
@@saharakarri6011 hi, this happened with me, but with a laced cart. I am still recovering and am experiencing really scary thoughts that my psychosis isn’t over. My brain is still trying to trick me into believing it. I’m just glad I’m not alone in this. It helps take me out of my psychosis
@@raycharlestothebs A lot of people only have one episode of psychosis, meaning it doesn't require a long term diagnosis of schizophrenia. Like the guy in the video says it has to meet the criteria for schizophrenia. One of the criteria is that another diagnosis isn't better fitting. For example bipolar disorder is known to cause psychosis in some individuals. Or if the psychosis was drug induced then the cause may be an altered physiological state. There's lot of potential causes as psychosis is a collection of symptoms.
My psychosis is the long term outcome of multiple brain injuries in my teens. Over the decades, i have slowly gone from sad to mad as my brain slowly dies. I do not have Schizophrenia, but my symptoms are identical.
@@dylanarcher827 Maybe check out the Wim Hof method, red light therapy, even Psilocybin therapy. There are ways to reset/recover brain activity and function these days.
My sister is experiencing extreme meth psychosis from years of meth use. I remember 13 years ago she was smoking it and in the last five years it has become a consistent habit. She believes people are after her. Just the other day she was telling my mom that they’re drilling underground and that they’re coming for her. She said can literally feel the drilling. She thinks some of the birds are fake outside and it’s people listening In on her. She once spent all night in the ally of the worst place in town where known drug activity occurs, doing god knows what, and she thought most of the people were actors. We’ve been trying to get her help but she doesn’t believe meth causes her issues. She thinks everyone should smoke it. It’s the hardest thing watching her mind disappear. I’m afraid she’ll ever be the same. She did finally agree to see a doctor and had her first meeting last Friday. I just pray she can get the help she needs. It’s put such a strain on our whole family.
squibbelings I cant imagine the struggle you and your family are going through. I am glad to hear she is taking steps to rehabilitate, please know that there is hope and she can get better.
The Daily Dose thank you so much for even taking the time to comment about the situation. You have no idea how much I appreciate that. She finally agreed to detox and has been sober for five days now. I know it’s a long road to recovery but for her to even take these steps is such a big step for her. She has never even talked about getting clean before and I am finally feeling like there’s hope for her 🙏🏽
I'm going thru the same exact thing with my bf of 6 years we got through this before only by him going to jail but after a year n a half clean he's relapsed thinking every is following him .so stressful on his family n me ...especially me since I live with him..and I barely get sleep because he keeps me up at night !
Best wishes on the recovery steps being taken by your loved ones.... and family members should get help and support too... regardless of the actions of the loved one. Being in a caregiving role is a very serious situation that can cause levels of stress that put family members at risk for addictions, cardiovascular and other health catastrophies. Please reach out to your local hospital or community health agencies to ask about family support programs. You are worth it... and healthy well educated families are more likely to be of help to people who need to recover.
This sounds exactly like my mom, especially believing that people are actors. My mom went to the hospital and swore the nurses and doctors were actors and were doing a commercial but didn’t know she was a real patient. She’s very sick and going through bad psychosis and I wish I had a way to help her.
is this related to a reduction in CBD do you think? And explain what you mean by you have lived this, Im curious what you experienced if you don't mind :)
same here champ, weed brought out skitzofrienia onset and drug psychosis in me and ive been on anti psychotics for nearly 5 years now. Finally on Clozapine am surprised and happy he mentioned clozapine as the most affective anti psychotic...I've never touched meth i can only imagine how bad i'd be if i did meth .. Love and blessings to all
Diagnosed with BP1 at the age of 26. Using high potency Marijuana brought on a 5 month episode of paranoid psychosis. I feel that this psychosis would not have happened if not for the Marijuana use. People think that Marijuana is a harmless recreational drug. For most that is true. For others it can be very harmful. Government wants to legalize so they can tax it and make government even larger.
I had fears all my life, violent people, gangs, bullies in school and the fear of death. I always suppressed those fears and childhood trauma because i thought "I HAVE TO BE STRONG!" but a psychosis shows your blatant fears, problems and trauma you have been hiding all those years! The only way to deal with all the bad stuff accumulated inside you is... acceptance and forgiveness which is easier said than done...
You just described me. All my childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood I was bullied, isolated, and taken advantage of my people I thought were friends. My life is comparatively better. I have a fiance (been together for 10 years), a great job, and a lot of financial freedom. But I still harbor those traumatic experiences. When I smoke heavy amounts of weed, that all comes out - all the anger, sadness, and regret. I've been hurt but I also hurt others (emotionally, not violently). I can't forgive myself for it. I want to, but don't know how.
@ronlentjes2739 T.V really how? I felt in my life that social media tends to give me anxiety and sometimes depressed, yet never thought about T.V and it's effects.
I've gone into psychosis 5 times it was terrifying. I think it was triggered by stress. They say in the bible the devil roams around like a lion looking for whom to devour. I believe when you're in a low emotional state and or low vibrational state you become vulnerable to be attacked by him the battlefield is in our mind. In my opinion from my experience with it.
I like that that's how I felt I was cursing saying things I've never said words I've never heard before I felt possessed for what felt like forever but was about 5 6 minutes then was shaky and anxious for hours after, I don't think even to this day a year later that I truly recovered I've smoked weed since , i think the stuff I smoked may have been laced, but too much definitely puts me on edge
True stuff this happend to me. I was seeing the devil everywhere he came to me in a disguise before I entered psychosis to trigger it. It was horrible. Thanks for sharing
Psychosis is litterarly the most terrifying thing iv experienced. I don't remember most of it but i ended up outside in my underwear. Woke up in the hospital CONVINCED that i was dead and that the hospital was a gateway to hell because everyone looked like demons. Then when i got a bit better aka sobered up i thought i was in the after life waiting to be processed. It's so weird being convinced of something youd normally never imagine
No bullshit I had this EXACT SAME TRIP. Took a good amount of mushrooms and ended up screaming out the top of my lungs in my underwear, ended up in the hospital and had this weird feeling that I was reborn or something into another dimension or “hell” as you would say. Then ended up in jail and it wasn’t till the next day I realized what the fuck had happened.
Like someone is reading your thoughts...i had similar experience .. I learned a lot about pshycology carl jung and all that.. That's what you should do when you're going through hell like this
The fact psychosis is so insidious is frightening. I told my coworker: Imagine looking through a camera lens. Everyday goes by, and you live life. Day by day, the lens is covered by a red pass filter of minute effect and is indistinguishable to the eye. Do this for a year. By the year's end, everything you see is red, but you see it as normal. You don't know and deny there is a problem.
This why you do research on drugs before deciding to try them instead of just listening some random person on a podcast saying they think everyone should do psychedelics/weed and their completely safe, every drug comes with at least a little bit of risk to the user anyone who tells you different is lying or ignorant
I took a gel tab of LSD one day alone in my room and was transported into a different realm where I felt like I had went crazy. The thought of it never ending is terrifying, perhaps that’s what schizophrenia might actually feel like. It felt as if I was living, growing, and dying 500,000 times over itself. I was seeing impossible visions. Time, death, life nothing felt real. And that was only ONE of those little squares. I wouldn’t say it was a bad trip, but it was certainly interesting how everything in my room swirled around. My mind was racing. I was locked in my bed with tremors and my heart was racing. Peak probably lasted for about 2 and a half hours. I was hearing the psychedelic roar sound, the best way I could describe it was that sounds were distorted, it’s like somebody talking through a fan, the sound is distorted. I tried listening to a song and it sounded warped as all hell, all I could do was just ride it out until the comedown, which was associated with a ridiculously painfully hindering stomach cramp. My jaw was also sore I guess I was clenching really hard. I’m not sure how much ‘ug’ might have been on that one square.
@@vidgamarr5126psychedelics are definitely not for everyone - i’ve learned and seen over the years that everyone is wired differently. this sounds horrible, i’m sorry you had a horrible time. ✨
@@vidgamarr5126 I had something similar. I was tripping hard outside and every tree and like all parts of the sky morphed into these different nature beings while at the same time I’m losing all track of who I was and what place this was….it was a complete ego death, all these geometric shapes overlayed every shape you can see and even the air itself and honestly after the trip I still can see those things but it’s more of using my intuitive eye (3rd eye) than my physical eyes. One thing I could say is it got me learning about electromagnetism and heavy math
I wrote myself an email while high because I always convince myself it's not as bad when I'm sober again. I told myself this isn't worth it and the energy I'm giving out isn't stable. It actually worked pretty well. I even told myself that I would try to rationalize the situation and that I should not let my ego bring me back, because it's really hard to remember the exact feeling of dread you feel when youre on a bad trip and the benefits (amazing physical contact) isn't worth it for me . I Ultimately decided to stop because in case of an emergency situation I want to be completely aware. I also knew that while I was high people treated me differently and that made me insecure. Good luck to anyone going through this. It ll be alright. God bless.
I know it is different for everyone, but in my experiences, a “bad trip” actually teaches me more about myself. Yes in the moment it is terrifying, but I feel stronger mentally knowing that I made it through. I also get clarity and overall boost in mood and motivation regardless of how “good or bad” the trip was. Maybe the bad trip was trying to teach you something about yourself. Again I understand psychs aren’t for everyone, but think about why you have the urge to continue trying them. In the end it is only a few hours of your life.
@@nathanlandrum9495 yeah but ive come to realize it's a selfish thing to do. You turbo certain hormones to give yourself that rush and for what? A dopamine hit that changes your perception for a couple of hours. What if you have an emergency during a trip? It can take one decision to change your life. I think its a way to get out of real reality yet no matter what you do reality will be there and it can make things worse. If you do it too much it becomes like any other addiction. Alot of the weed heads I know are kinda off and they can't function without it. Its not a good time if you ain high just like alcohol. Also it's a neurotoxin plants use as a pesticide. Look I'll admit it can be fun as hell and it kinda unlocks things you might not think about normally but I believe since they are from your own brain that we can unlock that potential in the right way. Yeah I am paranoid cause in this world we gotta survive and be aware.
@@nathanlandrum9495 I agree that some of the unpleasantness can eventually become a method of healing and personal development, if applied in the right way. Obviously a person shouldn't continue to push themselves into that state if they're not willing and able to suffer in order to achieve that. Not everyone needs to perform that kind of work on themselves, either, and very often it can be too uncomfortable to think about. But speaking from my own experience, cannabis at least doesn't tend to fabricate insecurities and fears out of thin air. Rather it amplifies what's already there, even if it's really subtle which might lead some to think those thoughts are completely alien to themselves. When I first started using cannabis, it was in a social setting with my close friends. After the initial period of giggety highs dissipated, it became really upsetting because I felt a lot of paranoia over how I acted around other people. It threw me off and I started deconstructing my own personality. To an outsider this might sound like a classic case of depersonalisation or even psychosis, and certainly these thoughts made my life much harder. But eventually I stopped beating myself up for the faults that cannabis induced me to identify, and instead began questioning why I acted like that in the first place. With the help of my friends who were also going through something similar, we had very open conversations where we tried to center ourselves and move closer to the versions of ourselves that we wanted to be. At least that's how it was in my case, to the point that two years later I'm much more secure in my own mind and body, and I can think about those topics without the aid of cannabis, though it does help expand the boundaries further. It's a really weird thing. I started heading down a long and dark tunnel, and if I'd stopped halfway I might have become a lost case like we hear about in these kinds of videos. But I kept going because I knew the only way was forward. Eventually, I reached the other side. But sadly there are many people who shouldn't enter the tunnel at all yet take too many steps before it's too late to turn back. If I had known what kind of journey I'd be placed on in smoking cannabis for the first time, I'd have reconsidered. I'm glad I made it out and became a better person for it, but I still think this is something that should be talked about more openly and humanly, rather than coldly discussed as a set of symptoms which no non-user is able to fully understand.
It feels like being trapped in an alternate reality that youre kind of aware may not be real but it feels extremely so. I have had many psychotic episodes and two major breakdowns where reality was no longer discernible from terror. I wont delve too deep here but as I grew used to them I was able to recognise the horror movie I was trapped in whereby everyone wanted to do me harm and were clearly only trying to set me up wasn't actually real and that my 'mind was playin tricks on me' dark AF stuff It took me 10 years to recover from the initial breakdown, would terrify any normal person being hurtled into that hell dimension. Healthy lifestyle is key to recovery and not losing hope.
You're correct. Everything from sobriety, food, sleep, relationships, exercise- it all plays a role. One thing that used to snap me back was eating peppercorns and getting in an ice colded shower. I didn't give my brain an option but to acknowledge the onslaught of reality I was pouring on it. It's terrifying, especially when you're trying to hold it together for a family and you are incapable. My first wife divorced me in the midst of a breakdown and had the courts make it so that when I had my two girls I had to be with my parents. That was 16 years ago. I figured out life got remarried to a P.A, take zero medications, my kids love me to death, her cruelty was the greatest gift anyone has ever given me. I told her when we were getting divorced that one day she would fall into the hole and not have the willpower to crawl out and Karma came for her last year. She's having debilitating panic attacks and depression to the point my girls have come to live with me and their stepmother. I want her to crawl out, I do not wish that agony on my worst enemy. She is still at the crossroad where she believes a pill will fix the problem so she's not ready. People do not understand psychotic breakdowns and panic disorders. It some aspects you would be better off with full blown schizophrenia or catatonic, atleast then you would not have the momentary glimpses of clarity and normalcy.
Please don’t give up on life! You only have one! It’s hard when you have psychosis time after time. But it’s not worth to end your life. People around you care for you! Stay in life!
I have been undergoing drug-induced persistent psychosis for the past year or so. Visual disturbances, audial and tactile hallucinations are the norm. The absolute worst part is the distance that it has prompted between myself and other beings. This is premised on the delusion that they might feel I'm being weird, which is yet another symptom of the illness; incessant paranoia. Nevertheless, with proper medication and support, I'm on my way to a full recovery 😁 Stay blessed and strong, everyone ❤️
My experience with psychosis from doing hard drugs was explained to me by a really good friend . He portrayed it as a "survival of the mindset" , recognizing the side effects and quickly counteracting them with efficiency in your next move . If you didn't know him as a full functioning addict , you'd probably think he had some kind of Developmental disorder . There I understood the levels of addiction and how far one can go before there's no turning back .
Claiming an abnormality of the mind is caused by an abnormality of the brain is mistaking an identity for a causal relation. It's a very common move in contemporary psychiatry. 'why are you sad? It's cause you have low levels of serotonine'. Being sad IS having low levels of serotonine. The feeling is the phenomenological manifestation, and the neurotransmitter the biological one, but they are the same event, the same 'thing'. To actually investigate the reasons for those feelings and neurochemical levels you have to look at all aspects of life, development, genes, experiences, identity, social and economic conditions, and so on. Tldr: reductionism is bad.
Contemporary psychiatry is fully atheistic in nature, therefore it is no surprise that it treats its patients as chemical meat machines. This is no surprise, without spiritual understanding or at least recognition of the spiritual element, life can be viewed as nothing more than a chicken or egg debate, mechanical causality and only logically within the bounds of reductionism- Destination: Nihilism.
@@Chef_Alpo it’s slowly changing… paradigm shifts occur one person at a time. Planck used to say “science advances one funeral at a time”, and I like that saying too, but for slightly different reasons. Look up IANDS, it’s a conglomerate of medical professionals and NDE experiencers who gather and discuss the daily lives and challenges faced by such tumultuous re-entry into consciousness. Please understand that I’m not trying to sell the ideas to you, but just to point out that the “meat machine” Descartes-esque model of epiphenomenal consciousness is slowly being molded into a new, heretofore unformed thing. Interesting times.
I was having bouts of psychosis every 6 months for a period of 2 - 3 years, I could notice the signs of an oncoming attack so I would go to the hospital and get some zyprexa olanzapine and I would be fine with in a couple of hours. The last episode I had I didn't have access to the medication so I had to ride it out and ever since that I've never had another attack. I tried Western medicine and I tried the spiritual / eastern medicine route and I found meditation, yoga, healthy eating etc had a much more positive effect. Looking back with hindsight I found that I was suppressing my emotions with drugs and all of the emotions I suppressed suddenly came to the surface all at once which I believe was the cause of my psychosis. The mind experiencing something it's never experienced is quite intense and scary it's like a split in reality. Native shamans have likened psychosis to a spiritual awakening and if I had someone to guide me through the process it would be a whole lot easier, the worst part of it was not knowing what I was experiencing once I knew and took control of my mind it was easy and I never had another attack after that.
My son has been in psychosis for 2 months now after quitting weed cold turkey he use to say it helped him with social anxiety so when he stopped smoking all the emotions surfaced, how did you take control of mind and emotions if you don’t mind me asking
Thanks a lot for the video. It explained my lack of motivation, social isolation, me screwing up relations with people who love me the most. Psychidelics are not to be taken lightly!
Insomnia can induce psychosis as well. I was up for 9 days straight by the 4th day I was having visual and audio hallucinations. I had physical sensations such as a feeling of spider webs on my face. During those 9 days everything I was experiencing was real to me. Only afterwards when I was normal I realized I was tripping.
I went into drug induced psychosis for 3 days after doing tons of extremely Pure MDMA. After taking my tenth dose of the night I fell asleep and woke up to my roof missing and tarantula crab hybrids building a massive web where my ceiling used to be. Sometimes they would jump down at me and I was trying to hit them with a broom. My wall would open up and there was a big menacing cockroach commanding a choir of nutcrackers, the doll nutcrackers. The cockroach would command them to scream at me. Absolutely insane. I talked to dead people and seen human figures made of pure energy. Crabs were coming out of my door knob and I even tried recording it I saw huge 10 foot tall cloaked figures who would gather around me and pet me, I swore I could feel them touching me. I could see people’s auras and so much more. I think what scares me the most is on the third day, when it had mostly gone away I went outside to smoke a blunt. It was 12 am and as I was hitting my blunt a holographic little girl in a dress appeared in the middle of the yard and started walking towards me. I dropped my blunt and ran inside. I never experienced anything like this again after those 3 days but I went into a very deep depression for the next couple years. It’s been almost 5 years now and I’m slowly getting better. My brain been through so much I’m just so thankful that I didn’t end up permanently like that.
Thank you so much for this video. I tried to tell my mom this exact thing and she keeps saying I wasn’t on the drug enough to see side effects but trust me I know exactly what was happening and I am so glad to have this as evidence to prove my point. Your a life saver and God send.
A person struggling with mental issues is under tremendous stress so it makes sense that that their brain image is slightly different....there are a few instances of biological damage that can cause this but certainly not usually the case. With people being distanced and under tremendous stress doing this Covid " crises " we will see many more instances of mental health issues.....
I've experienced a psychosis about four different times. It was during alcohol withdrawals. I had visual and auditory hallucinations. One time it lasted three days. Each time it happened it was so vivid that I couldn't distinguish what was real versus hallucinations. I saw angels, demons, and deceased friends. I saw holograms and had conversations with the creator. Some of it was terrifying and other parts of it was enlightening.
My aunt told us after her last episode that she was stuck in psychosis for 2 years (ever since pandemic started) and it makes total sense seeing that it can happen after alcohol withdrawal. She was a very scary drunk back in the day and would never remember when she got aggressive. But she has had a horrible time for 20 years trying to stay sober but now I see how hard that would be if psychosis is always trying to expose itself!!
I experienced drug induced psychosis and hallucinations after trying to get off of painkillers cold turkey. My job at the time was physically intense and I needed to take 5 Vicodin a day just to get through. I literally thought the devil was talking to me and I was becoming schizophrenic. Thankfully the hallucinations and paranoia went away after I was unconscious at the ER. Been sober and on the right track for 2 years now.
Drug induced psychosis is terrifying. You start your trip feeling niceness and positivity until it hits a peak crescendo --your brain, every thought, emits a pang of wonderment and beauty of everything around you but then you start to blank out on things like you've fried your brain. You start questioning your reality, get an overwhelming urge in you that you are stuck in your own head and that feeling of discomfort is pervading every feeling about anything. A span of 5 minutes seems like hours. I started loosing thoughts about who I was; putting on shoes was difficult without being overwhelmed by myself. Paranoid thoughts. I was so scared that I broke my mind and I wouldn't be able to go back to how I was before I took that dumb amount of mushrooms. I was very fortunate that I had a sitter with me who talked my way down but I'd never want to put that on someone else ever again; it was such an idiotic action for my own self-medicating. I had an anxiety attack recently that gave me that same harrowing feeling again due to stress but that episode was short in comparison. My takeaway (besides not trying to do something so dumb ever again) was to get professional help to talk about my own depression. I just started so wish me luck.
I’m sorry to hear you had to endure so much suffering from what you intended to be essentially an act of celebration. I wish I could know more about what went on and why, but only you ever really know for sure. That knowing is important, and is central to your existence. Nobody else can “know” something like you do, and every ounce of suffering you experienced is not a moment wasted. You are very brave for coming this far and being able to be honest about your past choices… there are many people who are too scared to talk about it or just try and cover it up. Trauma is pervasive across all humankind… you aren’t alone. You’re loved, my friend. Be well, and remember to be merciful to yourself… I hope you find what you’re looking for.
No offence but thats not psychosis, that's just a bad trip. Psychosis is something that lasts months and even years and still happens when you're sober. It becomes a part of you and you can't just wait it out like you did.
I scared myself once on a large dose like you. Usually it's all happy. Sometimes intense and kinda negative but overall not THAT bad. This particular time I felt violent. I was thinking of abuse my grandpa inflicted on my mother. I was thinking of a guy that shot and robbed me years ago. I had these awful violent thoughts. I was just sitting on the floor in silence. Even my poor little dog (beagle mix sized dog) seemed terrified of me. I felt like I had this violent energy emanating from me that my poor dog could sense I felt like a wild animal for a couple hours. Like a "tame" tiger who suddenly just loses it and attacks its trusted trainer I really scared myself
Sydney Sovern well what you feel and see during a schizophrenic episode is almost directly correlated to psychosis from where at in the brain, and feelings of not controlling my own body/mind (I’ve had both, a 13 hour one from pure meth and biological schizophrenia ) and it feels kind of the same, except with schizo it can be almost impossible to tell what is and is not there and if you even exist, it’s a living hell. A psychosis for me was more about a long, anxiety riddled, very uncombfortable and confused state.
Psychosis is a symptom and Schizophrenia is a mental disorder, just like Mania is to people with bipolar disorder. Psychosis is the main symptoms amongst those who have schizophrenia
I believe that psychosis is the collection of negativity of the collective consciousness. In that state you fear things that every living thing fears eternity, the unknown, lack of control, etc. But just like there's fear in these thoughts there are positive thoughts as well. Which is christ consciousness the opposite of psychosis. Our biggest collective fear is lack if control but we must realize we are both in control and not in control which is what is the best. A surprise cookie is better than knowing you'll get a cookie. I don't know about the future but i can control how i think about the events that have happened and can control what i will do in the future. Psychosis ends and realizing that is what gave me peace during my spiritual endeavors.
@@patriciofernandez2711 the two polar opposites.. are the self indulgent .. pleasure for the sake of senses.. take from others without care.. eetc.. a selfish state like that of the wild animal.. just in our human version.. girls are for pleasuree.. not peeople.. food is for taste not health.. money is for my gain not mutual gain etc.. selfish ego.. christ consciousness is the polar opposite which instead of seeking for outside things to make you complete you instead fix the inside that causes you to feel the lack you are trying to fill... you see others as you see yourself.. you share in things instead of take them for yourself.. you are muttually beneficial instead of self serving. The standard way to see it is understanding sins/virtues. why one side is destructivee to the self and the other benefits eveyone. So.. stantic... is self over all else.. christ is the all is self and to benefit the eall is to benefit the self.
@@patriciofernandez2711 read the Bible. The entire story is about higher consciousness (Christ the King) returning to mankind after it bring dead for an age.

Recovery is real, I live with drug-induced psychosis, I’m in recovery and am what we call Peer Support. Recovery from mental illness and substance abuse begins with our choices and taking responsibility for our past actions. We can live good lives and help others. I thank the Lord for bringing me to a place of insight understanding and discernment to be able to move away from what my life used to be. This video was amazing and very informative.
@@eparsells I didn’t receive peer support but i wish I did. I did go to “NAMI connections” support group it was amazing sitting down with other people and hearing about their week was amazing. We all are living lives and are not alone through we feel like we are at times. People really do understand. Connection with others can be healing, genuine human connection with people that care. As I got better I did become a peer support, when I went through the training it changed my life and I was in the place to go through it.

We all are living lives and are not alone through we feel like we are at times. People really do understand. Connection with others can be healing, genuine human connection with people that care. As I got better I did become a peer support, when I went through the training it changed my life and I was in the place to go through it.

Marijuana induced psychosis can seriously negatively effect your mental frequencies with the universe thus losing you money this is why I quit smoking After years of smoking I struggled with psychosis and it was not fun Edit 2 years later: I still struggle with psychosis bad, but I’ve only officially quit weed for only 3 months (yes I relapsed). I hear voices in my head and it happens hundreds/thousands of times a day, everyday, even now. thankfully i am no longer incredibly psychotic like years ago. Everything in my life is very very well and I am very positive because of this, otherwise these voices would get to me. Basically I FEEL like I hear voices of what people think about me, however I’m beautiful and financially well so it’s usually perceived JEALOUS thoughts - this is a strange and exhausting illusion that I’ve just learned to live with, sadly. I guess that is what happens to a sociopath with a high ego after smoking weed daily for about 10 years… sadly it’s scarred me to look at people a different way now, I don’t trust people and I feel as though everyone is out to get me or get something from me… even though I know I’m delusional… it’s so hard not to be psychotic in public… I struggle everyday.
I had a temporary drug induced episode 3 yrs ago, doing better now, except some remaining symptoms of lack of motivation and emotional flatness, social isolation. What are some practical things to improve this? I have seen improvements through exercise & mediteranian diet, meditation yoga biking. But what else can I do to fix the remaining issues? It is holding me back socially a lot
Hello I would recommend eating large amounts of dark greens as it is shown to help the swelling of ventricles well as the excercise should stimulate the brain. Good luck. You are not alone. We need to spread the message of the effects of these drugs. 🤍
@@carlosalbertobarrazalopez schizophrenia exists. People who have don’t need to be told they don’t. They are suffering excruciatingly so shut the fuck up. Your not a fucking doctor.
Exercise helped me drastically. I also continue to take vitamin B complex, chelated magnesium, and amino acid complex supplements. Hard to say if these helped but I do feel almost completely normal after 14 or so months.
I had a mild psychosis after long term smoking cannabis daily in copious amounts. I would build on delusions and lose touch with what was real. I felt like I was haunted by an evil force that was making me go insane to drive me to suicide. My emotions would swing from one extreme to another very quickly and I wasn't able to regulate my emotions properly. I'm off it now and I don't see an issue with enjoying a puff on rare occasions (I haven't touch it at all since going cold turkey) but just like with alcohol or anything else, you need to approach with moderation. I started smoking heavily to try and "self medicate" because I was seriously depressed, anxious and at times, suicidal. Psychoactive substances won't heal your pain, they make your pain worse. I'm in therapy and feel like I'm improving a tiny bit each day but it's definitely changed my view on how these substances can be a catalyst for someone already going through horrible stuff in their life. I'm not against weed or alcohol but I'm only stressing moderation is key.
I had a THC induces psychosis last night. I’m not an avid weed smoker at all, maybe 1-4 times a month. I don’t do or have done any other drugs besides alcohol. Even then it’s no more than 2 times per month. But this time I smoked way too much. It was the most terrifying experience of my life. I felt like was loosing grasp of reality. I was pacing in circles in my room frantically yelling to my self that everything is real because it truly felt like whatever reality is and the frame it sits on was disappearing. My mouth and tongue felt like the inside of an intestine or a cave of slimy, fleshy worms. Everything felt threatening and my heart was pounding like crazy. For a while I grasped my chest with both hands trying to slow down my heartbeat so that I wouldn’t have a heart attack. My room felt like it was possessed by an evil. I got out and went for a walk. That walk ended up being a 3-4 hours long. My mind was getting stuck in really dark, invasive thoughts and several times I lost all sense of direction and time. Finally I came home and passed out from exhaustion, only to wake up three hours later because my brain was still in this severe flight or fight mode. I went to the hospital and stayed there for hours because they were worried about my sporadic episodes of extreme heart rate. It’s been over 24 hours. Even though I feel myself coming back I still feel a sense of threat and disassociation. Everyone, please take care of your selves and be responsible when it comes to drug use. I wouldn’t wish this exhperience on my worst enemy.
You sure you smoked weed only? Or did you eat a bunch of edibles and smoke weed too? I know trips can happen but for a trip that long it sounds like edibles
@@MrPrush-ji4gs nope, just a really small joint. I realized that it must have been the keif that I sprinkled in because I had barely any weed left. I’m pretty sure that I made the mistake of not distributing it enough, with the majority ending up in the beginning of the joint (I didn’t smoke the whole thing). I’m perfectly fine now, but still have flashback to this night.
Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it’s just so hard to source here
Psychedelics are the reason why i didn’t take my life when i was at my end. I was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity and even though i still battle anxiety and depression, I’m doing better everyday and will never think in such a self destructive way again.
LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life. I became a better version of myself This experience gave me a lot of confidence about my self and my body. A bunch of bad thought / behavior patterns were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot. It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip: Everything is alright. The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me (although it's not gone). Before all I could do was lay in bed. Now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before."

@@ashleywilson5187 thats great. Mine was from benzo withdrawal and only lasted a couple weeks, but I ended up in the hospital and was almost committed. Luckily I was able to pull myself back from the abyss just in time. Be grateful! Not everyone comes back...
most psychosis don't even come from drugs. but from stress as a whole, so can also come from work. it is nothing more than being stimulated by things that come from outside. everything comes from without even if one says to want to relax it comes from without, and everything that comes from without will give you no relaxation or any insight of knowledge. all that one seeks outside oneself, however, can only be found within oneself. however, the overstimulation from the outside builds up to the psychosis, what happens during the psychosis you can not remember well or not at all. the mind has collapsed you might say. when the whole storm is over and you understand what happened, most people are looking again in the place where you will never find it. from the outside. continuously giving away your energy is not good, also allow yourself something before you try to explain what it is.
Im experiencing drug induce psychosis as I type this. The most notable of the symptom is Tactile Hallucinations. What that is, and has been apparent for months is the feeling of an animal or creature constantly touching my back. I initially thought it was the spirit of my recently deceased cat, because the tactile hallucinations feel like a cat is kneeding on my lower back, constantly. In addition to these tactile hallucinations, Im also experiencing audio hallucinations, in this case they are in sync with the feelings of movement on my lower back, the sound results in my chair making a tiny squeak from very small movements, the same kind of squeak you'd heard when a swiveling moving chair needs wd40. So sitting at my chair, almost all times, I feel what feels like an invisible cat kneeding into my lower back. This sensation continues when I try to sleep. The only way Im able to sleep with it or stop myself from sensing it, is to constantly wiggle my foot. It takes a long time to fall asleep, because these feelings continue when I try to sleep. I know for a fact that its a a result of my chronic and frequent use of high potency marijuana. I had been using consistently for 10 years, starting when i was 26. I smoke high potency marijuana for nearly all that time. The tactile hallucinations didn't start until I really started upping my intake. Thinking I was being haunted by spirit of a ghost cat, I took Kratom on top of it, to numb whatever I was feeling. But Kratom made it much worse and I was able to feel these things on my lower back for the entire time I was high. Only when I wasn't high the following day would I stop feeling these sensations. They'd come and go, but were far far more frequent when I was using a drug. So I decided to go cold turkey off both of them, which wasn't easy. But, day two...I'm already noticing a less frequency of these tactile sensations. I truly believe that I was in the beginning stages of induced psychosis. If not, then I was pretty far in and even possibly developing more harmful conditions. I am so glad that I finally got off those terrible substances that I was validating the use of for over a decade. If you use high potency marijuana, stop now. If you use Kratom, stop now. These drugs are causing you to go insane. Stop using now and save your mental acuity.
I've had 2 extremely disturbing psychosis episodes. I thought my life was looping for eternity. my vision was spiraling and then my mind would zoom into another reality than another reality. Then I just kept hearing a song loop over and over. my vision kept on zooming out and zooming in to the point where I saw My vision through a computer screen and saw it loop for so long which felt like a eternity. I just want this to go away forever. these scary intrusive thoughts. I just want faith, hope and love. please pray for me.
my grandma was a heavy alcoholic at one point in her life around 50 years old, now she is 4 years sober. But at one point when she used to drink so heavy (heavy drinking for a month straight) she started to have schizophrenia / psychosis, She would see men in black fedoras outside her window, or them sitting under her kitchen table and much more but thats all i can remember now. She has to be put in an institution for a bit to get better. It happened again after a month or so, and a few yeArs later she completely stopped drinking 🙏🏻
Earlier this year I went through drug induced psychosis while having covid. The experience has changed me to say the least. I admitted myself to the hospital after attempting suicide and everything after that felt like the worst trip of my life. In the hospital, I fluctuated from extreme feelings of euphoria to utter terror. The whole time I had convinced myself that I was dying from covid and that by living through it, I would unlock the secret to the disease. I really thought I would be awarded the Nobel prize for my “work” (scribbling down nonsense on pieces of paper in the mental hospital), but those were just delusions. Then my experience became more spiritual. I felt like I could sense all the energy of the hospital and that demons were after me, trying to get me to harm myself. I physically began to fight them in my room, truly like my life depended on it. I felt the spirit of God come inside me to give me the power to do this. This changed my belief in the afterlife; now I know the power of spirits and demons and that they truly can get inside of you if you are vulnerable enough. I was still messed up mentally for about two months after my hospital stay. I was paranoid about everything and thought people were watching me and following me. Thankfully with medication and staying sober from weed I feel like myself again.
@@pnthrillzmy story is very similar to this and I stayed in the hospital for about 2 almost 3 weeks and it was a hard fight I believe that the prayer I was praying while in the hospital helped me to get stable enough to leave and I thank god for that
Wow ! After learning from this video ....even though I had doubts about marijuana causing psychosis.....it reminded me of my first DAB ever . I became extremely paranoid. I immediately thought I was given meth for some reason and began to think he set me up to kill me ....for a long time I thought I just got too high...which I did...but now I know it was psychosis. It took me a long time to smoke that again but I have and have never gotten that effect after the initial time . But I'm definitely going to cut back on smoking . Good video!
DatGanjaSmuggla not really... you see it never happened sober lol . And when I did that I was already a veteran smoker . But I worry if I would have let those thoughts run rampant if I would have became violent .
@@massiv323 same thing happened to me with smoking out in Phoenix, Az. It looked like coagulated butter movie popcorn butter!! Lol My friend put a little bit on a little round titanium plate the size of a dime. The next thing I know I'm stuck to the couch. I can't move a muscle like being stoned for the first time
I had weed psychosis . Every time I passed a cross-walk I would think I had hit someone . I would literally pull over and check my truck for blood . It caused some ocd-type of actions/thoughts as well As insomnia . Thank God I Found Jesus, and been off weed now almost 1 year continually and alcohol now 1.5 years .
I prefer psychedelics over going to a psychologist. I did, they diagnosed me with depression and the medication depressed me even more. Ill stuck with my home grown weed instead. Only organics for my overall health thank you very much
During my cocaine addiction I use to think people were trying to break into my house and get me. It never use to happen at first but after regular use it triggered the psychosis where it would happen like clockwork every time I used. Now I’ve stopped it has gone away completely but it was definitely concerning when I was using.

I’ve had pyschosis one time on lsd, I tripped at night and freaked myself out because when I was peaking it was sunrise, I was convinced I messed up my sleep cycle, and that I was going to trip forever, and that I was in a quantum loop, it took me months to recover and I am just now starting to feel like a human again, i remember having thoughts that the only way to end my trip was too kill myself, (glad I listened to myself and didn’t because I wouldn’t be alive telling this story) I smoke weed which relaxes me but I try not too smoke too much of it, as It makes me lazy and groggy without ambition, too this day I realize that was the greatest gift that ever happened too me, giving me a chance to mold a new perspective on life. Thank you lsd gods🙏🏻
one of my friends also had the same thought that the only way to end the trip and the 'loops' was to kill himself. I've quit psychs and will probably quit weed too. Last time I did shrooms, I got a bad trip on both trips. Pretty sure the shroom gods were just trying to scare me away from doing mind altering drugs which is nice of them as my brain was getting super fucked :)
I recognize this is an old video, I am just curious why it is that you are using Psychosis and Schizophrenia interchangeably, when they are mutually exclusive diagnosis that also have different symptoms, though there are similarities. Schizophrenia generally speaking shares the delusional constructs with psychosis, but has the added flavor of auditory, visual, tactile, and of sensory hallucinations. Where the mind generates new stimuli in the immediate environment of the patient. Whereas Psychosis, generally a delusional disorder, does not involve necessarily additive hallucinations. Patients with psychosis generally speaking have more of an issue encoding stimuli from their immediate environment as opposed to creating new stimuli within that environment.
Addictive hallucinations is all one frame in the brain it where you picture this in the brain open your eyes and it sits out side the brain as the same frame anti one frame movement is where you see something in your room and it is moving around and it is moving up to you and hurting you known as paranormal activity the brain does not frame this so when you open your eyes it there and motion less two totally different things but I agree be highly careful when ingesting any form of drug.

These psychosis episodes I’ve had, of course some of it can be brought on by actions of one’s self, like illegal drugs, you already know your doing wrong, so yes you already have that on your mind. Amongst other things. Relationships, telling lies, sometimes also have an effect. But, perhaps 🤔 a past life regression can also be the cause of some of the stuff to, and everyday society issues, where peer pressure, trying to fit in, and just living period all plays a roll to ones actions can lead up to any of the psychosis episodes. It’s the breaking point,
But illegal in who’s eyes? Not in mine. The powers that be made drugs illegal for a reason. That reason isn’t to protect little Jonny from jumping off his balcony because he thinks he can fly. If that were the case and it was to protect people’s health amend livelihood they would have banned sugar years ago. It kills more annually than all illicit substances combined. The war on drugs is a crock of horse 💩. Do not feel guilty when you do what you do. They, the ones who made these stupid laws and filled peoples heads with lies scare tactics and propaganda are the one who should feel guilty.
THC didnt use to scare me until one time I got so high I was convinced my weed was laced .. NOPE just the weed My doctor laughed at me .. BUT I hope I never feel like that again
I’m not sure if this counts, but after brain surgery of a large brain tumour, I developed post-op epilepsy (due to scarring from the operation). I was given three different kinds of anti-epileptic drugs to control seizures, and at least two of them had the side effect of psychosis on overdose. I had a scary week of psychosis: nurses banging on the wall next to my ward bed, people in my close proximity saying offensive (and actually realistic) things about me, and other terrifying things. It came to a point where I thought that the nurses around were there to harm me, and when one came over to me to insert an IV, I ripped it away from my arm, and she was brought to tears. My experience is hardly as bad as the other ones quoted here, but man, psychosis is a curse.
- Heh, when my best friend went cold turkey after years and years of heavy alcohol abuse he went a bit nuts. I got a call from his ex saying he was texting her how sorry he was for getting her abducted but she should see it as a unique experience. I called him up and he was really apologetic that the aliens said I lived too far away to be picked up and thus was left behind on this apparently very real to him interstellar journey. He's telling me all this while he's also apparently tearing his room apart, looking for mice. I try to tell him there are no mice, and he acts like i must be stupid, because he just exploded one in his sock drawer......I thought he was just on some really messed up psychedelic's but after he told me how he quit drinking just cold turkey it was becoming pretty clear. Managed to talk to his mom and His family managed to calm him down enough that they got him to a hospital to help keep him safe while he worked the crazies out of his system. - Good luck to everyone fighting their demons!
I had a breakdown. I was shaking violently and couldn’t breathe as voices were calling my name and telling me I killed myself and was dead. Then I started panicking because I felt I was gonna kill someone out of my control. I live every day since in dissociation. I give up
@Addi111 C but you wrote this message so there's hope for you yet. Have you got someone to talk to? I am a mum living in Australia and I came to this video looking for advice for my 18 year alcoholic son. It's so hard but I just have to stay positive for him. I'm sorry you're going through a hard time. Without prayer to God, I'm a total wreck. You are in my prayers 🙏
Dont ever give up. I got a friend who had the same thing. He started exercising daily, 3 hours a day and he got out of it. Try doing it. Exercise cleans up the body and recovers your brain.
Nooooo, please don't give up. I went through a horrible stage of Phychosis, it got so bad I really was about to kill myself because it was unbearable. But I took it day by day, easier said than done I know but it really works. Wherever you are I hope you're doing better, I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Take care.
I just experienced one of these. Never again will I take marijuana. That was a horrifying experience. I was screaming at the neighbors and thought I was genuinely on fire. I had no sense of self and I couldn’t stop thinking or focus on any sense. The back of my neck was throbbing and I felt truly awful. Never again. I still feel the effects hours afterwards. I’ll tell when I feel better
Sometimes I think people get frustrated and start shouting and getting uptight, which comes across as psychosis. I used to be like that until I got rid of toxic people.
That isn’t psychosis. When you hear voices from the walls and think there are hidden cameras in your house and the government wants to lock you up, when in reality nothing is happening what so ever, then you have psychosis.
i'm glad i mostly ever had negative fear filled experiences with drugs like weed and psychedelics cuz it turned me off from drugs now. If those drugs made me feel good like it does with many others, i would've become addicted. Even alcohol makes me not feel good just makes me drowsy and not looking forward to tomorrow's hangover.
It is absolutely heartbreaking to watch someone go through this, I watched my son. It was like an out of body experience. He was doing that dabbing crap. 🤬to this day I will never understand the desire to even try dabbing. I just pray daily that he never try’s it again. Seeing your child unravel is physically excruciating. All I go do was try to keep him in a positive frame of mind.
@@kmars3239I’m in this heartbreaking phase now. Watching my son go through psychosis from a vape dab. He’s been talking out his head. Having breaks and some normal talk. But this is day 6 and he had an episode today talking out his head again. He’s 15.

So i figured out what caused my oldest brothers schizophrenia. All these years i thought it was marijuana and was afraid to smoke it for so long. One night me and him was smoking telling stories from way back and he told me that he was 18 at the moment and was drinking underage with our uncles friend. And the friend said you know i put an ecstasy pill in the bottle. He said he was like a what and he said a black circle kept getting bigger and bigger and everything got quiet and he passed out. His illness got worse over the years
It's been over 2 weeks since a bad delta 8 trip. Lots of hallucination auditory and visual and shaking like a chihuahua in fear. Like I'm cold but I'm not. The trembling lasted 5 daysa now today I'm still tripping! Colors are bright. Light sensitivity, I look at something and look away and it's a ghost image still there of it. Still toms of anxiety. Words and other things are wavy and I feel a weird dissociate/disoriented feeling. Like I'm still in a bad trip. Sounds startle me and i can think or focus or enjoy anything. I'm forgetting words. I can't function. I'm going to admit myself but I'm afraid antipsychotics will make things worse. A lot of people with HPPD and Dr. Abraham has said it makes things worse and the best is klonopin. But that's hard to get especially for a past drug user. My question is could it be HPPD or psychosis? I know my visuals aren't real and just perception distortions. Or could HPPD be along side psychosis? And a misdiagnosis and wrong treatment could lead be bad.
I had issues with psychosis before trying to get help for it. Went to the doctor and got put on prescription meds. That was a bad idea. While on those meds I considered doing things to others that I wouldn’t have thought to do before. I tried to kill myself with those prescriptions. I should have died as I also took over 40 muscle relaxers with those medications when I tried. After waking up from this experience, and not being taken to the hospital, I swore off prescription medicine and started smoking weed. Since doing so I have held a job longer than at any other point in life, I don’t feel so awkward around people and haven’t even considered ending my life. I realize that weed isn’t for everyone but it helped me. Then again I don’t purely smoke to get high. I use what I need at the moment and sit it down. Too much of a good thing isn’t necessarily good for you.
Thank for the share but be carefull, it's still using drugs to escape reality. In my opinion, you need to stay conscious of it to avoid psychosis. I (maybe) use the same trick for the same reason, but it's not a solution, only a way to stay afloat until it do not work well enough.
@@pierrotA my opinion is it’s not a drug. It’s non addicting, not man made and is a seed bearing plant that was meant for mans use. I’ve seen some of the miracles it works on other illnesses and diseases. I do believe however that chronic use at an early age could cause issues. One should let their brain and body fully develop before using daily unless it is absolutely necessary. I was 33 when I started using as needed.
I’ve been smoking way more than a regular amount of cannabis for around 3 years and for about 1 1/2 years out that time span I’ve been feeling different as if I can’t relate and feel connected to normal people because there is no spark or any indication in my mind to feel many emotions much less the complex ones and sense then I had thought if it was part of maturing as a young adult or if it was stress or the fact I have Aspergers, or the chronic depression/anxiety but either way I’ve been just going with the flow and I can’t really seem to remember much as life goes on unless I’m extremely high. I do have a very strong passion for the cannabis plant and have found that as a 19 year old I have an above average tolerance. No one has ever smoked me out or gotten me “too high” and even in experiences in which it’s beyond my capacities I just go with it and continue to dread the experience as life goes on that’s if the experience is not completely forgotten
I read your first couple of sentences and said “sounds a bit like ASD.” Next sentence, you mention your Aspergers lol I have autism too, plus ADHD. I’m prescribed adderall, and I smoke weed every day. It’s the winning combination for me, but being unable to relate to “normal” people never goes away, it just gets easier to blend in.
I'm autistic. smoke weed every day. It helps me to get in the zone and be a special, unique human being. If it wasn't for weed, then I wouldn't have gotten this outrageous world record for the Sphere skill game from Trials Evolution.. th-cam.com/video/TMdvQql4tyY/w-d-xo.html
Or drugs make you think through the Matrix you've been trapped in without question your whole life, but yet you are still stuck living within those confines with no escape. So psychosis is basically waking up in life, but being stuck in the same routine you've always been in without escape.
If that’s been your experience so far, I’d say you’ve gotten a full dose of the intended purpose. The reason why hallucinogens are so crucial to human evolution and have persisted in one form or another throughout human history, I think is due to the primal nagging feeling that pervades every act of hesitation and doubt compelling us to look inward to question our existence. Why are we here? Who is making the rules, and why are they such a sociopath? Rather than debate details and discuss the minutia, we both can agree that something is DEEPLY wrong with our society, and the world in general. Something is fundamentally wrong with our perceptions both collectively and individually that unidentified trauma and separation have conditioned us to forget that we are all connected in the same web of life that is the ecosystem of this glorious planet. What fate befalls our neighbor is shared with our own, even if we can’t immediately sense it. This naturally creates distrust and even outright disgust with the social and political mechanisms that keep our awareness dulled and misled from realizing how interdependent we are on each other’s well being. It can make you feel like everything around you is a lie meant to reinforce a paradigm of control and domination whose very existence is synonymous with the consumption of souls to perpetuate an endless war machine. Let me be clear in saying that this perception is not wrong; what you see is almost certainly the case, mostly because you instantly fail in that moment to conform and accept the machine, thereby making you a prisoner whose fate is unavoidable in being trapped forever. I feel your pain brother, and even still it breaks my heart. But remember that while this awareness you’ve cultivated is a heavy burden, it is also an incredibly profound source of inspiration to serve others. What is more rewarding than being a gentle helping hand to another who is lost in despair and bound far too tightly in their personal narrative than is necessary? You carry the alchemists stone within you, and every act of compassion is like a transmutation of base lead into resplendent gold. Forgive me if I come across as religious or pushing dogma, I want to be clear that whatever you choose to believe is your right and is a crucial step in determining who you are and what makes your perception a valuable one. If you conform to others, no matter how well meaning they may be, you drown out your own light by accepting even more veils and illusion. It’s alright though, really, it is. Don’t forget to smile at the cashier or thank the delivery guy and really mean it. The best way you can spite the control matrix that enslaved you is to completely rebel against your jailers entirely by choosing the opposite of domination and control, choosing compassionate no judgement and forgiveness. This whole system runs on selfishness and greed… by becoming a beacon of light in this way you are giving the biggest middle finger you possibly could to it. That’s what it means to be human, I think. To know you are frail and finite and that everything you are and do to combat the system is ultimately insignificant, but to still act with compassion in the ultimate act of defiance.
Wondering if the other twin with the different brain, if his brain became that way from trauma, diet, drugs etc. Or if it was born the same and changed, or if it was born that way...
There is such a huge difference between Sativa and Indica imo. I personally don't enjoy Sativa, because it makes me feel my heart racing. Indica on the other hand makes me feel wonderful all over! It's so strange how the different strains of Cannabis impact the brain.
Watch you tube videos of people who cured cancer//crohns etc. using Full Spectrum Indica RSO OIL///CBD Isolates will not cure cancer etc, with out the THC//CBD Isolates contain No THC !!!
Man that's a fact. They have been breeding out the cbd in these super powerful strains and it's similar to a hallucinogen now. People aren't prepared for how powerfull almost pure thc really is. I wish we could have just grown it naturally with no adulteration and kept it like it was back in the 70s and 80s.

However her doctors have said...her particular condition will only get worse and worse as time passes...and each "break" she will have will literally change her as a person...to the point she will be a completely different person each time she passes through a "break".. Also her meds she is on..they say..will reduce her life expectancy by 5 to 10 years... I can tell when she's having issues..as I can notice changes from facial expressions only shown during her breaks...which...many other people who suffer with this also have.. It's very interesting but equally scary to experience or witness...from the outside looking in.. and definitely a very hard situation to be able to get through ...both for the people who suffer with this and for those around them who are close to them..
I like your approach, telling someone not to do something will make them want to do it. Telling someone to rtfm before doing it is a lot more effective for self regulation.
I had paranoia on weed once when i smoked potent weed...and lasted for many days later on as anxiety disorder... i had weak mentality back then...you need to be strong and say that these thoughts dont scare me and push bad thoughts away and you will be fine later
@@marwen4073 everytime i smoked weed i would get panic attack...and i developed health anxiety...but 2 months ago i did psychedelic i.e. magic mushroom for 1st time and i had a extreme bad trip of paranoia and thought i would have schizophrenia but it was all my anxiety ramped up cuz i was having mild ego death but i managed to hold myself and then told my friends that i was having bad trip and then i started feeling gratitude and now 2 months later i have no anxiety and even smoking weed doesnt give me anxiety but makes me relaxed now
@@mahat__milan Um, Im not sure if mines similar but one day I smoked weed and then within a few minutes I starting thinking Alot and have very bad anxiety then I go into a panic attack which makes it hard to breathe and swallow and it even got so unbearable I had to go to the hospital
@@GhettoBino i would suggest u to take a full break from weed for 2/3 months..im 100% sure ull get withdrawal effect like racing thoughts and anxiety for a month but you ll get a lot better and normal by 2nd month. P.S. im clean for 2.5 months now
Alot of people are also useing spice or bath salts as its cheaper but they dont even know whats in them and its causeing horible effects not only mental but also physical
Failed most classes, lost a lot of friends, started smoking weed once a day, to twice, to 3 times periodically, then to constantly smoking all day, started at 15, been a year and a half, starting to realize I’m not how I was when I started, I started having constant panic attacks too, I also have adhd and add so my mind would always loop back to panic, my life right now is miserable and I’m trying to learn everything I can about this stuf, advice -- this guy is right, if ur doing drugs atleast be responsible unlike I was
Found this video randomly, read through the comments and woah i never realized this is what i experienced a few years back probably when i was 16, always smoked and i would get crossed and because i was going through the darkest moments in life after i had made it through middle school which was worst. i’m 18 now but man everything felt so unreal i didn’t know who i was. like i was watching myself in 3rd eye perspective in my own head and it wasn’t clicking since i’m introspective. def lost myself i was like those creatures from the movie Soul just lost. Gladly i was able to overcome it. recently finding my stones of who i am and i always seem to find one when i find another personality of myself through a series of moments that i am realizing in this journey alone. life path 6-1-22
Smoked for years. Started going bad for me early on. After smoking I’d become quiet and really flat , losing facial expressions and basically my personality. Then after a few more years smoking I started to get butterflies when I was stoned or a feeling of nervousness. 10 years on and I was having full blown panic attacks where it felt like my brain had taken over my nervous system and the thoughts went quicker, darker and would send me into a spiral. The attacks could last for an hour. Terrifying. My addiction is such that I still smoke. Locked in a cycle of cravings and then drug induced, acute psychotic panic attacks. It’s a living hell.
Thank you for the video Michael, it was really educational. It's interesting to learn that there's no counter to positive symptoms that're quantifiable in modern medicine. Since psychosis has a huge base in stress, I'm hoping that more people have an affirmation therapy approach like care teams generally use for Alzheimer's and other dementias. Usually there's too much speculation, and criticisms which lead to patient decline (like paranoia in my experience), and poor rapport.
gave myself psychosis and for months i was 100% convinced people could hear my thoughts lmao it was fucked i was scared to think around people but i’m good now
@@feralr6538 nah bro you got this im just getting my life together and im 31 the past decade plus has been a never ending roller coaster but believe me sobriety and or keeping a very low tolerance helps a ton. I used psychedelics weed and liquor. You can do it!! Gotta believe
Weed induces psychosis for me. Last time I did it, it took 24 hrs for me to back to normal from the smallest amount. I am no expert... obviously lol but I find it interesting that out of all my friends, only the ones who have experienced significant childhood trauma/cptsd, including myself, experience psychosis from Thc. I wouldn't be surprised if there may be a link between the structural changes in the brain that occur from trauma, during childhood development, that increase the likelihood of drug induced psychosis?!?! 🤔
Just figured id say i grew up completely silver spooned and still got psychosis but thats what psychedelics weed and liquor can do to you if you abuse it 🤷♂️
what do you define as psychosis? for me it made me feel really weird for a day or so after but for some reason it was like no directly the day after. trying to figure it out, it was a cart and anxiety/depersonalization happened days after when i started looking stuff up about fake carts. my mind is quite mysterious
@@benm8763 I have a complete break from reality. I hallucinate and (in the best way I can describe it) I live in three worlds, the physical world, my imagination and my thoughts. They all mesh completely into one another and I cannot tell what is real or what is really happening. Nothing makes sense at all, I have zero filters, I talk nonsense and I cannot function at all or do basic tasks. I thought I was permanently crazy.
@@scatterlienatalie9873 wow yeah that’s a lot more serious than what i experienced. i’d really like to smoke cannabis some time but given my bad experiences with carts and edibles i’m not sure if it’s a good idea. have you tried it since? i’m mostly worried it will reset symptoms
The Daily Dose uh, it’s not necessarily a symptom of schizophrenia. You can also have a psychosis without having schizophrenia. I had a cannabis and sleep deprivation induced psychosis for example and I don’t have schizophrenia.
I've tried to load up on water, as a test to see whether I can fix my problems myself. I'm also doing belly breathing. This is the first day that things seem quiet. It's getting noisier but I think that's just the progress of the day.
When i was on bath salts i fell into this after 4 days no sleep. I walked to the hospital that day and got help but the stories i have can create a book. No mattet what anyone tells ya, what you think is 100 percent correct. No matter the craziness the crazed person will not change their mind even with evidence.
@@cykablyat9333 i found a cig butt under my bed and thought my gf was cheating on me bc of that unknown cig butt. I place knives in my cousins couches bc i thought ppl under the house will get us at night. I fought a tree thinking it was a person. I worked at arbys and got everyone i worked with hooked on it (shameful) we would sprinkle that crap on top of the fake weed (k2 or other stuff) i could give details. I walked at least 600 miles in the month in a half i was on it. Had a fit bit. But yea the only thing that is real is what you think no matter how crazy it is to someone with a sound mind. The hospital was amazed that i got out of the stuper bc they told me its rare ppl go back to "normal"
My sister is addicted to bath salts and is so crazy. Your right she won't believe anything with proof she's not right about her delusions. How do you help them she's so stubborn and convinced salt is a blessing to the world every one should do it . Nothing bad can come from it. Uhh so stupid
@@meganklobchar7014 I truly hate you and your family is going through that. Unfortunately the only way it's going to change is if she decides to do so; or if you and your parents are legally able to commit her I'd suggest that. Tough love is what made it happen for me. My dad said the only thing he'd do for me while I was in that state is feed me. No shelter no money. She has to feel like she has no place else to turn to etc. It's a sad thing bc I get what she means in a sense. The first month or so was great in terms of everything is better on it. When I started i was under the impression it was "fake coke" after I detoxed I found it it's synthetic ecstasy so that makes sense in hindsight. I really hope it works out and this gives a little advise. Don't turn on her but tough love is the only way to make her change her mind.
Can the damage really be irreversible.im so scared that this can be true for someone close to me.this person has been off drugs for a while and is still hearing and feeling things that aren’t there and Really believes it. Any comments or feedback would be appreciated thanks
The only thing that’ll help is to stop all drugs for a few years and you’ll be relatively normal again but there will always be that flame inside that won’t leave.
Sadly for some heavy users the dopamine has been used to much they literally run out of it ....which for many means no happiness for a long time ...meth is one of those drugs that will deplete your dopamine in a dramatic way.
I will never forget the day I went to get high with some classmates & the horror that followed. Well I got high alright & kept passing out & waking up telling these so called friends I couldn’t breath. Of course they laughed at me & told me I was just freaking out. I’ll never forget how it hit me all at once & how I felt like I lost total control. Went home & from that point I was never the same. Ended up dropping out of high school a few weeks later bc of extreme panic attacks & having flash backs of not being able to breath. I remember for the longest time not wanting to go outside & every night laying there & shaking feeling like something bad was going to happen to me. This is something that truly never goes away but you learn to live with it & with the power of Christ you can overcome 🙏🏻
I’ve had three episodes already where I completely act like I’m someone else even as far as telling my husband a whole other life story that I’ve never thought about. 2 times on drugs & once sober. I’ve decided to go completely clean. Will this continue?
@@sammiemunster9545 I look at a computer and see a dumber version of the brain( I only use this comparison because computers are figured out we know how they work etc. Whereas our brains are intricate and complicated)any way when something goes bad on a computer you can replace the broken parts with new. We can do the same to an extent with vital organs problem is we can't repair our brains, technology isn't there yet and our brains only develop once throughout our life so its a matter of reprogramming your brain or seeking professional psychiatric help to identify the problem in more depth, find the imbalance and hopefully medicate accordingly to the individuals data
My wife is going through this right now. We have been smoking weed for about 3 months the doctor did she she is diagnosed with psychosis which was caused by weed. Its been a week a day i see improvement but still off and on. Its very very scary seeing someone go through this and witnessing. Just want to know how long this will take from people who have actually gone through it? God bless
@ghostfacekilla can you give me an update how’s you’re wife doing now ? My brother just had as psychotic breakdown this week Nd I wanna know how long did it take for her to recover and same circumstances smoking weed ..

I have enough THC every single day to get an elephant stoned and my level of crazy has reduced immensely. My entire life changed when i started using thc. I was less angry, more agreeable, my political affiliation changed, im more in tune with the natural world, and just generally more in tune with my place as a human. Psychosis is a genetic factor, it has to be. Otherwise i would be in a psych ward
I love all the people saying their experience with psychosis and then they preface it with 'So I did 3 tabs of acid, MDMA and a few bong hits', like you retards really need to not just be safe with drugs but also to stop being a fucking idiot I've got high every eveneing for nearly past year and i've defo experienced negative side effects but I'm also responsible. I use it as a reward. I know how to not go down a bad path. Too many people are stupid with drugs. That's the issue
@@kklh7918 i have gotten high every day for the last decade, and i can say that mostly all side effects associated with cannabis use subsided after the first year of use. The only real side effects were short term memory problems and fatigue, which are both actually just desired effects of cannabis use and not really a side effect anyways lol. But yes, be safe, know your limits, and never touch anything discovered by a chemist. Substances produced by plants and fungi have a much more extensive use by humans and tend to be more predictable, as we know more about them and how they effect our bodies. I also feel safer consuming substances that i know humans have consumed for thousands of years, it means that somewhere hidden in the recesses of my genome are hints that my ancestors used them and i am safer for it
@@user-kz8zr4si3i yeah man weed is great honestly. I know there are bad things like if you smoke before dinner then its sometimes hard to feel hungry without smoking which is what happens to me and honestly quite bad i'll admit but that's generally when im sedentary. I go gym nearly everyday, after a solid sesh im dying for food and weed is just the cherry on top
@@kklh7918 yeah, the hunger thing is a withdrawal effect for me. If i don't smoke it messes with my desire to eat food for a couple days. Less a side effect of use and more associated with dependency. Definitely habit forming, despite what a lot of people say. For me anyways, not everyone who uses it forms a habit, but it works so well for me i just accept the downsides
@@user-kz8zr4si3i yea but honestly I’ve gotten over it before. There have been times where I’ve gone to family stuff and haven’t smoked for a week or so and first couple days it’s a bit hard but when you forget about being high and you got other stuff to do I don’t think about it as much. I know it’s a semi bad side effect but I don’t think it’s the worst thing especially if you know when it gets to a really bad state. I know my limits and everything should be safe
Idk if it was psychosis but three times after smoking too much weed I fell into a state of mind where it felt like my brain left my skull (light headed) Every time my mind split and I was confusing myself thinking the situation was hostile on one hand and on the other trying to convince myself it was bc I was too high. Back and forth. I would think to myself “I’m losing control of my thoughts” then I would think “where are all of the weapons, I don’t want to get near them” then immediately after ask myself “why am I curious about weapons? I’m looking to hurt someone and I don’t mean to”. The whole time feeling light headed and frustrated, lashing out to try to wear off the effects then thinking I was acting angry and need to calm down but I couldn’t find a place in my mind to be calm. The 2nd time it petrified me for a week, the third time I just gave in and stood still without any action and I was thinking to myself “I feel like a total ass hole just standing here so stubbornly” but it was the only way to let my mind recalibrate, then it subsided after a half hour. It’s probably not a full blown psychosis but it was the most terrifying experiences of my life. Listening to a lot of Allan Watts lectures has really allowed me to understand reality much clearer
Please leave your questions or comments below!
Sociopaths direct hatred and abuse toward targets. A whole group can become psychotic. Like the lucifer effect. Narcissistic abuse can cause psychosis. Psychosocial education and words for the experience can heal psychosis. Finland, open dialogue therapy.
Can I have a relapse even though I cut weed, alcohol, and LSD for good? I'm so scared if I permanently change something in my DNA or brain to where I'm now likely to be schizophrenic. I was diagnosed with depression and schizophrenia symptoms. I took Risperidone for 10 months and no longer hear voices.
so is a bad trip/ intense anxiety and/or fear on weed the same as cannabis psychosis? had too many edibles the other day, I felt as if some youtube videos were like windows in my TV, I wouldn't say I was 100% convinced that they actually were windows, but could convince myself that it was plausible, was a bit shook to look out my window too haha so are these symptoms the same as a drug induced psychosis? Obviously the symptoms disappeared after the weed wore off, and this was after not touching any weed for about 8 months and then had about 3-4 times the recommended dosage because they weren't hitting me and I just thought they were weak, wasn't until I ate something that I realized I took too much lol
and also whats your opinion on untreated ADHD leading to parkinsons at an older age?
Yea that’s a little paranoid haha. Good thing it wore off.
I experienced drug induced psychosis after experimenting often with psychedelics, and smoking weed multiple times a day in high amounts (I wouldn’t say I was doing it for the right reasons as I was literally trying to distract myself from reality) and it took over a year of complete sobriety to begin recovering from it. I wouldn’t even classify psychosis as strictly an “episode” or a “bad trip” (because a bad trip is more of a negative experience on the drug). Mine went on for months on end where I had forgotten social cues, how to have a conversation, and common sense things. I had forgotten things about myself and who I am, I didn’t understand how friendships, relationships or family worked, I didn’t understand any of my emotions. Something in my brain was simply not clicking and I’m STILL relearning everything. I still knew things, but it’s like I literally lost my mind and I felt lost, weird, and dissociative. It was the darkest time of my life. Only now, 3 years later, am I starting to feel like myself again.
i completely understand where you're coming from and have had many experiences with psychosis on psychedelics and its weird and sad and alone and uncomfortable and even your speech is completely ruined, words cant come out and it feels like your brain completely just burnt out and ur suddenly incompetent its terrible and traumatising and i completely get that 'lack of common sense, social cue' issue. i'm glad you managed to get out of it.. i'm still working on it
Hi Veronica
I can relate and sympathise to so much of what you described here. I have been struggling like this for years now and there seems to be no escape. My emotions are offline and I struggle so much with memory and negative looping thoughts along with brain pains. Can I ask how you staged your recovery?
Glad you're recovering
Hi! I think this happened to me a few years back as well. I used to smoke weed and drink several days a week for months and I thought that everyone was my enemy, even family members. I think i was 16 at the time, does anyone know if drug induced psychosis can be caused by weed alone? Really curious.
@@saharakarri6011 hi, this happened with me, but with a laced cart. I am still recovering and am experiencing really scary thoughts that my psychosis isn’t over. My brain is still trying to trick me into believing it. I’m just glad I’m not alone in this. It helps take me out of my psychosis
watched this on LSD thanks

Yikes!

Exactly
Just because you had a psychosis doesn’t mean you are schizophrenic. Circumstances, environment, trauma and drugs can also cause a psychosis.
Is this something you think or something you have proof of
@@raycharlestothebs A lot of people only have one episode of psychosis, meaning it doesn't require a long term diagnosis of schizophrenia. Like the guy in the video says it has to meet the criteria for schizophrenia. One of the criteria is that another diagnosis isn't better fitting. For example bipolar disorder is known to cause psychosis in some individuals. Or if the psychosis was drug induced then the cause may be an altered physiological state. There's lot of potential causes as psychosis is a collection of symptoms.
@@GamingUbered Yes Joe!
True 💯
My psychosis is the long term outcome of multiple brain injuries in my teens. Over the decades, i have slowly gone from sad to mad as my brain slowly dies. I do not have Schizophrenia, but my symptoms are identical.
@@dylanarcher827 Maybe check out the Wim Hof method, red light therapy, even Psilocybin therapy. There are ways to reset/recover brain activity and function these days.
My sister is experiencing extreme meth psychosis from years of meth use. I remember 13 years ago she was smoking it and in the last five years it has become a consistent habit. She believes people are after her. Just the other day she was telling my mom that they’re drilling underground and that they’re coming for her. She said can literally feel the drilling. She thinks some of the birds are fake outside and it’s people listening In on her. She once spent all night in the ally of the worst place in town where known drug activity occurs, doing god knows what, and she thought most of the people were actors. We’ve been trying to get her help but she doesn’t believe meth causes her issues. She thinks everyone should smoke it. It’s the hardest thing watching her mind disappear. I’m afraid she’ll ever be the same. She did finally agree to see a doctor and had her first meeting last Friday. I just pray she can get the help she needs. It’s put such a strain on our whole family.
squibbelings I cant imagine the struggle you and your family are going through. I am glad to hear she is taking steps to rehabilitate, please know that there is hope and she can get better.
The Daily Dose thank you so much for even taking the time to comment about the situation. You have no idea how much I appreciate that. She finally agreed to detox and has been sober for five days now. I know it’s a long road to recovery but for her to even take these steps is such a big step for her. She has never even talked about getting clean before and I am finally feeling like there’s hope for her 🙏🏽
I'm going thru the same exact thing with my bf of 6 years we got through this before only by him going to jail but after a year n a half clean he's relapsed thinking every is following him .so stressful on his family n me ...especially me since I live with him..and I barely get sleep because he keeps me up at night !
Best wishes on the recovery steps being taken by your loved ones.... and family members should get help and support too... regardless of the actions of the loved one. Being in a caregiving role is a very serious situation that can cause levels of stress that put family members at risk for addictions, cardiovascular and other health catastrophies. Please reach out to your local hospital or community health agencies to ask about family support programs. You are worth it... and healthy well educated families are more likely to be of help to people who need to recover.
This sounds exactly like my mom, especially believing that people are actors. My mom went to the hospital and swore the nurses and doctors were actors and were doing a commercial but didn’t know she was a real patient. She’s very sick and going through bad psychosis and I wish I had a way to help her.
Yes THC can induce psychosis.
I have lived this.
is this related to a reduction in CBD do you think? And explain what you mean by you have lived this, Im curious what you experienced if you don't mind :)
same here champ, weed brought out skitzofrienia onset and drug psychosis in me and ive been on anti psychotics for nearly 5 years now. Finally on Clozapine am surprised and happy he mentioned clozapine as the most affective anti psychotic...I've never touched meth i can only imagine how bad i'd be if i did meth .. Love and blessings to all
Diagnosed with BP1 at the age of 26. Using high potency Marijuana brought on a 5 month episode of paranoid psychosis. I feel that this psychosis would not have happened if not for the Marijuana use.
People think that Marijuana is a harmless recreational drug. For most that is true. For others it can be very harmful.
Government wants to legalize so they can tax it and make government even larger.
I have too I smoked tons of weed for a few months and ended up in the loony bin for 13th days
Gtfo
I had fears all my life, violent people, gangs, bullies in school and the fear of death. I always suppressed those fears and childhood trauma because i thought "I HAVE TO BE STRONG!" but a psychosis shows your blatant fears, problems and trauma you have been hiding all those years! The only way to deal with all the bad stuff accumulated inside you is... acceptance and forgiveness which is easier said than done...
You just described me. All my childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood I was bullied, isolated, and taken advantage of my people I thought were friends.
My life is comparatively better. I have a fiance (been together for 10 years), a great job, and a lot of financial freedom. But I still harbor those traumatic experiences. When I smoke heavy amounts of weed, that all comes out - all the anger, sadness, and regret. I've been hurt but I also hurt others (emotionally, not violently). I can't forgive myself for it. I want to, but don't know how.
@@pearlsswine forgive yourself, love yourself. don't waste being sad and angry!
And stop watching TV. Big source of psychosis!
@ronlentjes2739 T.V really how? I felt in my life that social media tends to give me anxiety and sometimes depressed, yet never thought about T.V and it's effects.
I've gone into psychosis 5 times it was terrifying. I think it was triggered by stress. They say in the bible the devil roams around like a lion looking for whom to devour. I believe when you're in a low emotional state and or low vibrational state you become vulnerable to be attacked by him the battlefield is in our mind. In my opinion from my experience with it.
I like that that's how I felt I was cursing saying things I've never said words I've never heard before I felt possessed for what felt like forever but was about 5 6 minutes then was shaky and anxious for hours after, I don't think even to this day a year later that I truly recovered I've smoked weed since , i think the stuff I smoked may have been laced, but too much definitely puts me on edge
Definitely the truth thats why God wants us to have a sober mind Dont give room for Satan to capture you mentally
True stuff this happend to me. I was seeing the devil everywhere he came to me in a disguise before I entered psychosis to trigger it. It was horrible. Thanks for sharing
Yup
You and Dslime are totally spot on.
Very bad stuff to get caught in.
Psychosis is litterarly the most terrifying thing iv experienced. I don't remember most of it but i ended up outside in my underwear. Woke up in the hospital CONVINCED that i was dead and that the hospital was a gateway to hell because everyone looked like demons. Then when i got a bit better aka sobered up i thought i was in the after life waiting to be processed.
It's so weird being convinced of something youd normally never imagine
I thought it was just me.
No bullshit I had this EXACT SAME TRIP. Took a good amount of mushrooms and ended up screaming out the top of my lungs in my underwear, ended up in the hospital and had this weird feeling that I was reborn or something into another dimension or “hell” as you would say. Then ended up in jail and it wasn’t till the next day I realized what the fuck had happened.
Like someone is reading your thoughts...i had similar experience .. I learned a lot about pshycology carl jung and all that.. That's what you should do when you're going through hell like this
I had a very similar experience last night.
Were you able to get of antipsychotics?
The fact psychosis is so insidious is frightening. I told my coworker: Imagine looking through a camera lens. Everyday goes by, and you live life. Day by day, the lens is covered by a red pass filter of minute effect and is indistinguishable to the eye. Do this for a year. By the year's end, everything you see is red, but you see it as normal. You don't know and deny there is a problem.
This is literally me
Brilliant explanation.

@@bringoujelqings4078 thanks
@@TomPark1986 I was being sarcastic you sound pretentious as fuck
I knew drugs could lead to “a trip that never ends” but I actually never knew how serious it can be this is actually terrifying.
This why you do research on drugs before deciding to try them instead of just listening some random person on a podcast saying they think everyone should do psychedelics/weed and their completely safe, every drug comes with at least a little bit of risk to the user anyone who tells you different is lying or ignorant
I took a gel tab of LSD one day alone in my room and was transported into a different realm where I felt like I had went crazy. The thought of it never ending is terrifying, perhaps that’s what schizophrenia might actually feel like. It felt as if I was living, growing, and dying 500,000 times over itself. I was seeing impossible visions. Time, death, life nothing felt real. And that was only ONE of those little squares. I wouldn’t say it was a bad trip, but it was certainly interesting how everything in my room swirled around. My mind was racing. I was locked in my bed with tremors and my heart was racing. Peak probably lasted for about 2 and a half hours. I was hearing the psychedelic roar sound, the best way I could describe it was that sounds were distorted, it’s like somebody talking through a fan, the sound is distorted. I tried listening to a song and it sounded warped as all hell, all I could do was just ride it out until the comedown, which was associated with a ridiculously painfully hindering stomach cramp. My jaw was also sore I guess I was clenching really hard. I’m not sure how much ‘ug’ might have been on that one square.
@@vidgamarr5126psychedelics are definitely not for everyone - i’ve learned and seen over the years that everyone is wired differently. this sounds horrible, i’m sorry you had a horrible time. ✨
@@vidgamarr5126 I had something similar. I was tripping hard outside and every tree and like all parts of the sky morphed into these different nature beings while at the same time I’m losing all track of who I was and what place this was….it was a complete ego death, all these geometric shapes overlayed every shape you can see and even the air itself and honestly after the trip I still can see those things but it’s more of using my intuitive eye (3rd eye) than my physical eyes. One thing I could say is it got me learning about electromagnetism and heavy math
I wrote myself an email while high because I always convince myself it's not as bad when I'm sober again. I told myself this isn't worth it and the energy I'm giving out isn't stable. It actually worked pretty well. I even told myself that I would try to rationalize the situation and that I should not let my ego bring me back, because it's really hard to remember the exact feeling of dread you feel when youre on a bad trip and the benefits (amazing physical contact) isn't worth it for me . I Ultimately decided to stop because in case of an emergency situation I want to be completely aware. I also knew that while I was high people treated me differently and that made me insecure. Good luck to anyone going through this. It ll be alright. God bless.
I know it is different for everyone, but in my experiences, a “bad trip” actually teaches me more about myself. Yes in the moment it is terrifying, but I feel stronger mentally knowing that I made it through. I also get clarity and overall boost in mood and motivation regardless of how “good or bad” the trip was. Maybe the bad trip was trying to teach you something about yourself. Again I understand psychs aren’t for everyone, but think about why you have the urge to continue trying them. In the end it is only a few hours of your life.
Also sounds like you’re not doing it with the right people if they’re making you insecure. or you’re just paranoid.
@@nathanlandrum9495 yeah but ive come to realize it's a selfish thing to do. You turbo certain hormones to give yourself that rush and for what? A dopamine hit that changes your perception for a couple of hours. What if you have an emergency during a trip? It can take one decision to change your life. I think its a way to get out of real reality yet no matter what you do reality will be there and it can make things worse. If you do it too much it becomes like any other addiction. Alot of the weed heads I know are kinda off and they can't function without it. Its not a good time if you ain high just like alcohol. Also it's a neurotoxin plants use as a pesticide. Look I'll admit it can be fun as hell and it kinda unlocks things you might not think about normally but I believe since they are from your own brain that we can unlock that potential in the right way. Yeah I am paranoid cause in this world we gotta survive and be aware.
@@nathanlandrum9495 I agree that some of the unpleasantness can eventually become a method of healing and personal development, if applied in the right way.
Obviously a person shouldn't continue to push themselves into that state if they're not willing and able to suffer in order to achieve that. Not everyone needs to perform that kind of work on themselves, either, and very often it can be too uncomfortable to think about.
But speaking from my own experience, cannabis at least doesn't tend to fabricate insecurities and fears out of thin air. Rather it amplifies what's already there, even if it's really subtle which might lead some to think those thoughts are completely alien to themselves.
When I first started using cannabis, it was in a social setting with my close friends. After the initial period of giggety highs dissipated, it became really upsetting because I felt a lot of paranoia over how I acted around other people. It threw me off and I started deconstructing my own personality. To an outsider this might sound like a classic case of depersonalisation or even psychosis, and certainly these thoughts made my life much harder. But eventually I stopped beating myself up for the faults that cannabis induced me to identify, and instead began questioning why I acted like that in the first place. With the help of my friends who were also going through something similar, we had very open conversations where we tried to center ourselves and move closer to the versions of ourselves that we wanted to be. At least that's how it was in my case, to the point that two years later I'm much more secure in my own mind and body, and I can think about those topics without the aid of cannabis, though it does help expand the boundaries further.
It's a really weird thing. I started heading down a long and dark tunnel, and if I'd stopped halfway I might have become a lost case like we hear about in these kinds of videos. But I kept going because I knew the only way was forward. Eventually, I reached the other side. But sadly there are many people who shouldn't enter the tunnel at all yet take too many steps before it's too late to turn back.
If I had known what kind of journey I'd be placed on in smoking cannabis for the first time, I'd have reconsidered. I'm glad I made it out and became a better person for it, but I still think this is something that should be talked about more openly and humanly, rather than coldly discussed as a set of symptoms which no non-user is able to fully understand.
combination of stress and drug induced psychosis had me walking around like the truman show
It feels like being trapped in an alternate reality that youre kind of aware may not be real but it feels extremely so. I have had many psychotic episodes and two major breakdowns where reality was no longer discernible from terror. I wont delve too deep here but as I grew used to them I was able to recognise the horror movie I was trapped in whereby everyone wanted to do me harm and were clearly only trying to set me up wasn't actually real and that my 'mind was playin tricks on me' dark AF stuff It took me 10 years to recover from the initial breakdown, would terrify any normal person being hurtled into that hell dimension. Healthy lifestyle is key to recovery and not losing hope.
You're correct. Everything from sobriety, food, sleep, relationships, exercise- it all plays a role. One thing that used to snap me back was eating peppercorns and getting in an ice colded shower. I didn't give my brain an option but to acknowledge the onslaught of reality I was pouring on it. It's terrifying, especially when you're trying to hold it together for a family and you are incapable. My first wife divorced me in the midst of a breakdown and had the courts make it so that when I had my two girls I had to be with my parents. That was 16 years ago. I figured out life got remarried to a P.A, take zero medications, my kids love me to death, her cruelty was the greatest gift anyone has ever given me. I told her when we were getting divorced that one day she would fall into the hole and not have the willpower to crawl out and Karma came for her last year. She's having debilitating panic attacks and depression to the point my girls have come to live with me and their stepmother. I want her to crawl out, I do not wish that agony on my worst enemy. She is still at the crossroad where she believes a pill will fix the problem so she's not ready. People do not understand psychotic breakdowns and panic disorders. It some aspects you would be better off with full blown schizophrenia or catatonic, atleast then you would not have the momentary glimpses of clarity and normalcy.
Going through same
this seems like dp/dr
Thanks man. .I'm on antipsychotics and mood stabilizer now..did you take medicine?
@@Nancy-ow9wy how is it helping and curious if it was drug induced or from past trauma.
Please don’t give up on life! You only have one! It’s hard when you have psychosis time after time. But it’s not worth to end your life. People around you care for you! Stay in life!
Great thought
So true! My father committed suicide due to cocaine abuse which leads him to psychosis.
I have been undergoing drug-induced persistent psychosis for the past year or so. Visual disturbances, audial and tactile hallucinations are the norm. The absolute worst part is the distance that it has prompted between myself and other beings. This is premised on the delusion that they might feel I'm being weird, which is yet another symptom of the illness; incessant paranoia.
Nevertheless, with proper medication and support, I'm on my way to a full recovery 😁
Stay blessed and strong, everyone ❤️
Did you have behavioral issues before the drugs?
If drug induced, why take more drugs? Stay away from $doctors$ and $psychiatrist$...
My experience with psychosis from doing hard drugs was explained to me by a really good friend . He portrayed it as a "survival of the mindset" , recognizing the side effects and quickly counteracting them with efficiency in your next move . If you didn't know him as a full functioning addict , you'd probably think he had some kind of Developmental disorder . There I understood the levels of addiction and how far one can go before there's no turning back .
It's like a self trapped mzae
Claiming an abnormality of the mind is caused by an abnormality of the brain is mistaking an identity for a causal relation. It's a very common move in contemporary psychiatry. 'why are you sad? It's cause you have low levels of serotonine'. Being sad IS having low levels of serotonine. The feeling is the phenomenological manifestation, and the neurotransmitter the biological one, but they are the same event, the same 'thing'.
To actually investigate the reasons for those feelings and neurochemical levels you have to look at all aspects of life, development, genes, experiences, identity, social and economic conditions, and so on.
Tldr: reductionism is bad.
Contemporary psychiatry is fully atheistic in nature, therefore it is no surprise that it treats its patients as chemical meat machines.
This is no surprise, without spiritual understanding or at least recognition of the spiritual element, life can be viewed as nothing more than a chicken or egg debate, mechanical causality and only logically within the bounds of reductionism- Destination: Nihilism.
Very profound
@@Chef_Alpo it’s slowly changing… paradigm shifts occur one person at a time. Planck used to say “science advances one funeral at a time”, and I like that saying too, but for slightly different reasons. Look up IANDS, it’s a conglomerate of medical professionals and NDE experiencers who gather and discuss the daily lives and challenges faced by such tumultuous re-entry into consciousness. Please understand that I’m not trying to sell the ideas to you, but just to point out that the “meat machine” Descartes-esque model of epiphenomenal consciousness is slowly being molded into a new, heretofore unformed thing. Interesting times.
You: reductionism is bad
Also you: it's a common move in psychiatry to ask 'why are you sad? It's because you have low levels of seratonin'.
I was having bouts of psychosis every 6 months for a period of 2 - 3 years, I could notice the signs of an oncoming attack so I would go to the hospital and get some zyprexa olanzapine and I would be fine with in a couple of hours.
The last episode I had I didn't have access to the medication so I had to ride it out and ever since that I've never had another attack. I tried Western medicine and I tried the spiritual / eastern medicine route and I found meditation, yoga, healthy eating etc had a much more positive effect.
Looking back with hindsight I found that I was suppressing my emotions with drugs and all of the emotions I suppressed suddenly came to the surface all at once which I believe was the cause of my psychosis. The mind experiencing something it's never experienced is quite intense and scary it's like a split in reality. Native shamans have likened psychosis to a spiritual awakening and if I had someone to guide me through the process it would be a whole lot easier, the worst part of it was not knowing what I was experiencing once I knew and took control of my mind it was easy and I never had another attack after that.
My son has been in psychosis for 2 months now after quitting weed cold turkey he use to say it helped him with social anxiety so when he stopped smoking all the emotions surfaced, how did you take control of mind and emotions if you don’t mind me asking
So you are able to take Zyprexa on an as needed basis?
Thanks a lot for the video. It explained my lack of motivation, social isolation, me screwing up relations with people who love me the most. Psychidelics are not to be taken lightly!
What does it mean if I do similar things but I don’t take drugs or anything?
@@nstar1372 maybe is depression
Insomnia can induce psychosis as well. I was up for 9 days straight by the 4th day I was having visual and audio hallucinations. I had physical sensations such as a feeling of spider webs on my face. During those 9 days everything I was experiencing was real to me. Only afterwards when I was normal I realized I was tripping.
You’re telling me you were up for 9 days without the use of any drugs?

I went into drug induced psychosis for 3 days after doing tons of extremely Pure MDMA. After taking my tenth dose of the night I fell asleep and woke up to my roof missing and tarantula crab hybrids building a massive web where my ceiling used to be. Sometimes they would jump down at me and I was trying to hit them with a broom. My wall would open up and there was a big menacing cockroach commanding a choir of nutcrackers, the doll nutcrackers. The cockroach would command them to scream at me. Absolutely insane. I talked to dead people and seen human figures made of pure energy. Crabs were coming out of my door knob and I even tried recording it
I saw huge 10 foot tall cloaked figures who would gather around me and pet me, I swore I could feel them touching me. I could see people’s auras and so much more. I think what scares me the most is on the third day, when it had mostly gone away I went outside to smoke a blunt. It was 12 am and as I was hitting my blunt a holographic little girl in a dress appeared in the middle of the yard and started walking towards me. I dropped my blunt and ran inside. I never experienced anything like this again after those 3 days but I went into a very deep depression for the next couple years. It’s been almost 5 years now and I’m slowly getting better. My brain been through so much I’m just so thankful that I didn’t end up permanently like that.
That is insane
@@koto7551 yeah lol
Sorry you went through this ,but your profile pic and the story got me laughing right now haha
That's not psychosis. It's stupidity. The drugs just exposed the truth about you
10 dose of the night? What were you trying to prove?
Thank you so much for this video. I tried to tell my mom this exact thing and she keeps saying I wasn’t on the drug enough to see side effects but trust me I know exactly what was happening and I am so glad to have this as evidence to prove my point. Your a life saver and God send.
A person struggling with mental issues is under tremendous stress so it makes sense that that their brain image is slightly different....there are a few instances of biological damage that can cause this but certainly not usually the case. With people being distanced and under tremendous stress doing this Covid " crises " we will see many more instances of mental health issues.....
I've experienced a psychosis about four different times. It was during alcohol withdrawals. I had visual and auditory hallucinations. One time it lasted three days. Each time it happened it was so vivid that I couldn't distinguish what was real versus hallucinations. I saw angels, demons, and deceased friends. I saw holograms and had conversations with the creator. Some of it was terrifying and other parts of it was enlightening.
@@torettoyams5052 I was drinking a lot of Vodka at the time but psychosis due to alcohol withdrawals are more common than you may think.
@@thekendredspirit5771 did you quit cold turkey? Apparently that can cause it to happen.
My aunt told us after her last episode that she was stuck in psychosis for 2 years (ever since pandemic started) and it makes total sense seeing that it can happen after alcohol withdrawal. She was a very scary drunk back in the day and would never remember when she got aggressive. But she has had a horrible time for 20 years trying to stay sober but now I see how hard that would be if psychosis is always trying to expose itself!!
What did you talk about with God?
That's delirium, but still very terrifying. Hope you're good and healthy now
I experienced drug induced psychosis and hallucinations after trying to get off of painkillers cold turkey. My job at the time was physically intense and I needed to take 5 Vicodin a day just to get through.
I literally thought the devil was talking to me and I was becoming schizophrenic. Thankfully the hallucinations and paranoia went away after I was unconscious at the ER. Been sober and on the right track for 2 years now.
Drug induced psychosis is terrifying. You start your trip feeling niceness and positivity until it hits a peak crescendo --your brain, every thought, emits a pang of wonderment and beauty of everything around you but then you start to blank out on things like you've fried your brain. You start questioning your reality, get an overwhelming urge in you that you are stuck in your own head and that feeling of discomfort is pervading every feeling about anything. A span of 5 minutes seems like hours. I started loosing thoughts about who I was; putting on shoes was difficult without being overwhelmed by myself. Paranoid thoughts. I was so scared that I broke my mind and I wouldn't be able to go back to how I was before I took that dumb amount of mushrooms. I was very fortunate that I had a sitter with me who talked my way down but I'd never want to put that on someone else ever again; it was such an idiotic action for my own self-medicating. I had an anxiety attack recently that gave me that same harrowing feeling again due to stress but that episode was short in comparison.
My takeaway (besides not trying to do something so dumb ever again) was to get professional help to talk about my own depression. I just started so wish me luck.
I’m sorry to hear you had to endure so much suffering from what you intended to be essentially an act of celebration. I wish I could know more about what went on and why, but only you ever really know for sure. That knowing is important, and is central to your existence. Nobody else can “know” something like you do, and every ounce of suffering you experienced is not a moment wasted. You are very brave for coming this far and being able to be honest about your past choices… there are many people who are too scared to talk about it or just try and cover it up. Trauma is pervasive across all humankind… you aren’t alone. You’re loved, my friend. Be well, and remember to be merciful to yourself… I hope you find what you’re looking for.
No offence but thats not psychosis, that's just a bad trip. Psychosis is something that lasts months and even years and still happens when you're sober. It becomes a part of you and you can't just wait it out like you did.
@@lolsamftw No offense but I'm not convinced by your standard of diagnosing what psychosis is
I scared myself once on a large dose like you. Usually it's all happy. Sometimes intense and kinda negative but overall not THAT bad.
This particular time I felt violent. I was thinking of abuse my grandpa inflicted on my mother. I was thinking of a guy that shot and robbed me years ago.
I had these awful violent thoughts. I was just sitting on the floor in silence. Even my poor little dog (beagle mix sized dog) seemed terrified of me. I felt like I had this violent energy emanating from me that my poor dog could sense
I felt like a wild animal for a couple hours. Like a "tame" tiger who suddenly just loses it and attacks its trusted trainer
I really scared myself
One of the best videos I’ve seen. Great knowledge and isn’t filled with filler.
I thought you were going to talk about drug induced psychosis. Not schizophrenia.
Sydney Sovern well what you feel and see during a schizophrenic episode is almost directly correlated to psychosis from where at in the brain, and feelings of not controlling my own body/mind (I’ve had both, a 13 hour one from pure meth and biological schizophrenia ) and it feels kind of the same, except with schizo it can be almost impossible to tell what is and is not there and if you even exist, it’s a living hell. A psychosis for me was more about a long, anxiety riddled, very uncombfortable and confused state.

Psychosis is a symptom and Schizophrenia is a mental disorder, just like Mania is to people with bipolar disorder. Psychosis is the main symptoms amongst those who have schizophrenia
I believe that psychosis is the collection of negativity of the collective consciousness. In that state you fear things that every living thing fears eternity, the unknown, lack of control, etc. But just like there's fear in these thoughts there are positive thoughts as well. Which is christ consciousness the opposite of psychosis. Our biggest collective fear is lack if control but we must realize we are both in control and not in control which is what is the best. A surprise cookie is better than knowing you'll get a cookie. I don't know about the future but i can control how i think about the events that have happened and can control what i will do in the future. Psychosis ends and realizing that is what gave me peace during my spiritual endeavors.
I like your groovy words man
What's Christ consciousness?
@@patriciofernandez2711 the two polar opposites.. are the self indulgent .. pleasure for the sake of senses.. take from others without care.. eetc.. a selfish state like that of the wild animal.. just in our human version.. girls are for pleasuree.. not peeople.. food is for taste not health.. money is for my gain not mutual gain etc.. selfish ego.. christ consciousness is the polar opposite which instead of seeking for outside things to make you complete you instead fix the inside that causes you to feel the lack you are trying to fill... you see others as you see yourself.. you share in things instead of take them for yourself.. you are muttually beneficial instead of self serving. The standard way to see it is understanding sins/virtues. why one side is destructivee to the self and the other benefits eveyone. So.. stantic... is self over all else.. christ is the all is self and to benefit the eall is to benefit the self.

Recovery is real, I live with drug-induced psychosis, I’m in recovery and am what we call Peer Support. Recovery from mental illness and substance abuse begins with our choices and taking responsibility for our past actions. We can live good lives and help others. I thank the Lord for bringing me to a place of insight understanding and discernment to be able to move away from what my life used to be.
This video was amazing and very informative.
Can I ask where you’re finding good peer support or treatment? Can’t find a good rehab for thsi

Marijuana induced psychosis can seriously negatively effect your mental frequencies with the universe thus losing you money this is why I quit smoking After years of smoking I struggled with psychosis and it was not fun
Edit 2 years later: I still struggle with psychosis bad, but I’ve only officially quit weed for only 3 months (yes I relapsed).
I hear voices in my head and it happens hundreds/thousands of times a day, everyday, even now. thankfully i am no longer incredibly psychotic like years ago. Everything in my life is very very well and I am very positive because of this, otherwise these voices would get to me. Basically I FEEL like I hear voices of what people think about me, however I’m beautiful and financially well so it’s usually perceived JEALOUS thoughts - this is a strange and exhausting illusion that I’ve just learned to live with, sadly. I guess that is what happens to a sociopath with a high ego after smoking weed daily for about 10 years… sadly it’s scarred me to look at people a different way now, I don’t trust people and I feel as though everyone is out to get me or get something from me… even though I know I’m delusional… it’s so hard not to be psychotic in public… I struggle everyday.
I had a temporary drug induced episode 3 yrs ago, doing better now, except some remaining symptoms of lack of motivation and emotional flatness, social isolation.

Exercise helped me drastically. I also continue to take vitamin B complex, chelated magnesium, and amino acid complex supplements. Hard to say if these helped but I do feel almost completely normal after 14 or so months.
are you feeling better yet?
I had a mild psychosis after long term smoking cannabis daily in copious amounts. I would build on delusions and lose touch with what was real. I felt like I was haunted by an evil force that was making me go insane to drive me to suicide. My emotions would swing from one extreme to another very quickly and I wasn't able to regulate my emotions properly. I'm off it now and I don't see an issue with enjoying a puff on rare occasions (I haven't touch it at all since going cold turkey) but just like with alcohol or anything else, you need to approach with moderation. I started smoking heavily to try and "self medicate" because I was seriously depressed, anxious and at times, suicidal. Psychoactive substances won't heal your pain, they make your pain worse. I'm in therapy and feel like I'm improving a tiny bit each day but it's definitely changed my view on how these substances can be a catalyst for someone already going through horrible stuff in their life. I'm not against weed or alcohol but I'm only stressing moderation is key.
I had a THC induces psychosis last night. I’m not an avid weed smoker at all, maybe 1-4 times a month. I don’t do or have done any other drugs besides alcohol. Even then it’s no more than 2 times per month. But this time I smoked way too much.
It was the most terrifying experience of my life. I felt like was loosing grasp of reality. I was pacing in circles in my room frantically yelling to my self that everything is real because it truly felt like whatever reality is and the frame it sits on was disappearing. My mouth and tongue felt like the inside of an intestine or a cave of slimy, fleshy worms. Everything felt threatening and my heart was pounding like crazy. For a while I grasped my chest with both hands trying to slow down my heartbeat so that I wouldn’t have a heart attack. My room felt like it was possessed by an evil. I got out and went for a walk. That walk ended up being a 3-4 hours long. My mind was getting stuck in really dark, invasive thoughts and several times I lost all sense of direction and time. Finally I came home and passed out from exhaustion, only to wake up three hours later because my brain was still in this severe flight or fight mode. I went to the hospital and stayed there for hours because they were worried about my sporadic episodes of extreme heart rate. It’s been over 24 hours. Even though I feel myself coming back I still feel a sense of threat and disassociation.
Everyone, please take care of your selves and be responsible when it comes to drug use. I wouldn’t wish this exhperience on my worst enemy.
You sure you smoked weed only? Or did you eat a bunch of edibles and smoke weed too? I know trips can happen but for a trip that long it sounds like edibles
You know nothing of a psychosis but sound like you'd be more likely to get one if you're not careful

@@MrPrush-ji4gs nope, just a really small joint. I realized that it must have been the keif that I sprinkled in because I had barely any weed left. I’m pretty sure that I made the mistake of not distributing it enough, with the majority ending up in the beginning of the joint (I didn’t smoke the whole thing). I’m perfectly fine now, but still have flashback to this night.
That doesnt sound like psychosis...I think you just had a bad high...
Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it’s just so hard to source here
Psychedelics are the reason why i didn’t take my life when i was at my end. I was stripped of my ego and saw the beauty of life and interconnectivity and even though i still battle anxiety and depression, I’m doing better everyday and will never think in such a self destructive way again.
LSD and mushrooms completely changed my whole outlook on life. I became a better version of myself
This experience gave me a lot of confidence about my self and my body. A bunch of bad thought / behavior patterns were broken. One of these was pretty bad OCD that made me wash my hands a lot. It gave me a lot of hope that things will be fine, this is the one thing that I heard throughout the trip: Everything is alright. The main reason for the trip was my severe depression and it definitely helped me (although it's not gone). Before all I could do was lay in bed. Now I am trying to rebuild my life one step at a time which wasn't possible before."

most psychosis don't even come from drugs. but from stress as a whole, so can also come from work. it is nothing more than being stimulated by things that come from outside. everything comes from without even if one says to want to relax it comes from without, and everything that comes from without will give you no relaxation or any insight of knowledge. all that one seeks outside oneself, however, can only be found within oneself. however, the overstimulation from the outside builds up to the psychosis, what happens during the psychosis you can not remember well or not at all. the mind has collapsed you might say. when the whole storm is over and you understand what happened, most people are looking again in the place where you will never find it. from the outside. continuously giving away your energy is not good, also allow yourself something before you try to explain what it is.
Im experiencing drug induce psychosis as I type this. The most notable of the symptom is Tactile Hallucinations. What that is, and has been apparent for months is the feeling of an animal or creature constantly touching my back. I initially thought it was the spirit of my recently deceased cat, because the tactile hallucinations feel like a cat is kneeding on my lower back, constantly. In addition to these tactile hallucinations, Im also experiencing audio hallucinations, in this case they are in sync with the feelings of movement on my lower back, the sound results in my chair making a tiny squeak from very small movements, the same kind of squeak you'd heard when a swiveling moving chair needs wd40. So sitting at my chair, almost all times, I feel what feels like an invisible cat kneeding into my lower back. This sensation continues when I try to sleep. The only way Im able to sleep with it or stop myself from sensing it, is to constantly wiggle my foot. It takes a long time to fall asleep, because these feelings continue when I try to sleep. I know for a fact that its a a result of my chronic and frequent use of high potency marijuana. I had been using consistently for 10 years, starting when i was 26. I smoke high potency marijuana for nearly all that time. The tactile hallucinations didn't start until I really started upping my intake. Thinking I was being haunted by spirit of a ghost cat, I took Kratom on top of it, to numb whatever I was feeling. But Kratom made it much worse and I was able to feel these things on my lower back for the entire time I was high. Only when I wasn't high the following day would I stop feeling these sensations. They'd come and go, but were far far more frequent when I was using a drug. So I decided to go cold turkey off both of them, which wasn't easy. But, day two...I'm already noticing a less frequency of these tactile sensations. I truly believe that I was in the beginning stages of induced psychosis. If not, then I was pretty far in and even possibly developing more harmful conditions. I am so glad that I finally got off those terrible substances that I was validating the use of for over a decade. If you use high potency marijuana, stop now. If you use Kratom, stop now. These drugs are causing you to go insane. Stop using now and save your mental acuity.
I've had 2 extremely disturbing psychosis episodes. I thought my life was looping for eternity. my vision was spiraling and then my mind would zoom into another reality than another reality. Then I just kept hearing a song loop over and over. my vision kept on zooming out and zooming in to the point where I saw My vision through a computer screen and saw it loop for so long which felt like a eternity.
I just want this to go away forever. these scary intrusive thoughts. I just want faith, hope and love.
please pray for me.
my grandma was a heavy alcoholic at one point in her life around 50 years old, now she is 4 years sober. But at one point when she used to drink so heavy (heavy drinking for a month straight) she started to have schizophrenia / psychosis, She would see men in black fedoras outside her window, or them sitting under her kitchen table and much more but thats all i can remember now. She has to be put in an institution for a bit to get better. It happened again after a month or so, and a few yeArs later she completely stopped drinking 🙏🏻
God bless her I hope she's still doing better!
Earlier this year I went through drug induced psychosis while having covid. The experience has changed me to say the least. I admitted myself to the hospital after attempting suicide and everything after that felt like the worst trip of my life. In the hospital, I fluctuated from extreme feelings of euphoria to utter terror. The whole time I had convinced myself that I was dying from covid and that by living through it, I would unlock the secret to the disease. I really thought I would be awarded the Nobel prize for my “work” (scribbling down nonsense on pieces of paper in the mental hospital), but those were just delusions. Then my experience became more spiritual. I felt like I could sense all the energy of the hospital and that demons were after me, trying to get me to harm myself. I physically began to fight them in my room, truly like my life depended on it. I felt the spirit of God come inside me to give me the power to do this. This changed my belief in the afterlife; now I know the power of spirits and demons and that they truly can get inside of you if you are vulnerable enough. I was still messed up mentally for about two months after my hospital stay. I was paranoid about everything and thought people were watching me and following me. Thankfully with medication and staying sober from weed I feel like myself again.
Have you still on medication
how much time did you stay in the hospital. My brother is going through similar psychosis and its the first time we as a family are experiencing it.
Same😢😢😢 I'm on medication as well
@@pnthrillzmy story is very similar to this and I stayed in the hospital for about 2 almost 3 weeks and it was a hard fight I believe that the prayer I was praying while in the hospital helped me to get stable enough to leave and I thank god for that
I had weed induced psychosis & it lasted for days. I still have episodes when I’m stressed out, but when I first experienced it I was so scared.
Such a good explanation that increased my understanding of the biology and the factors that contribute to psychosis. Great help, thanks
thank you linda!
i may be 3 years late but this is the best scientific/ teaching video ive ever seen.
Wow you don’t get out much obviously
Your dumb comment and inability to use grammar correctly😂. Scietific 🤪🤪
Wow ! After learning from this video ....even though I had doubts about marijuana causing psychosis.....it reminded me of my first DAB ever . I became extremely paranoid. I immediately thought I was given meth for some reason and began to think he set me up to kill me ....for a long time I thought I just got too high...which I did...but now I know it was psychosis. It took me a long time to smoke that again but I have and have never gotten that effect after the initial time . But I'm definitely going to cut back on smoking . Good video!
Or maybe you learned the power of your brain and how it’s thoughts can effect you physically.
DatGanjaSmuggla not really... you see it never happened sober lol . And when I did that I was already a veteran smoker . But I worry if I would have let those thoughts run rampant if I would have became violent .

@@massiv323 same thing happened to me with smoking out in Phoenix, Az. It looked like coagulated butter movie popcorn butter!! Lol My friend put a little bit on a little round titanium plate the size of a dime. The next thing I know I'm stuck to the couch. I can't move a muscle like being stoned for the first time
I had weed psychosis . Every time I passed a cross-walk I would think I had hit someone . I would literally pull over and check my truck for blood . It caused some ocd-type of actions/thoughts as well As insomnia . Thank God I Found Jesus, and been off weed now almost 1 year continually and alcohol now 1.5 years .
I prefer psychedelics over going to a psychologist. I did, they diagnosed me with depression and the medication depressed me even more. Ill stuck with my home grown weed instead. Only organics for my overall health thank you very much
Agree
During my cocaine addiction I use to think people were trying to break into my house and get me. It never use to happen at first but after regular use it triggered the psychosis where it would happen like clockwork every time I used. Now I’ve stopped it has gone away completely but it was definitely concerning when I was using.
Same
Damn
Did you ever take medicine to deal with it

I’ve had pyschosis one time on lsd, I tripped at night and freaked myself out because when I was peaking it was sunrise, I was convinced I messed up my sleep cycle, and that I was going to trip forever, and that I was in a quantum loop, it took me months to recover and I am just now starting to feel like a human again, i remember having thoughts that the only way to end my trip was too kill myself, (glad I listened to myself and didn’t because I wouldn’t be alive telling this story) I smoke weed which relaxes me but I try not too smoke too much of it, as It makes me lazy and groggy without ambition, too this day I realize that was the greatest gift that ever happened too me, giving me a chance to mold a new perspective on life. Thank you lsd gods🙏🏻
I felt the same way about not been human but fuck lsd man
I had the same experience as you. The only way to get out is to kill yourself. Although mine wasn’t drug induced
@@anthonyar4 the way out is inside yourself g, killing yourself isn’t an answer
Smoking weed on lsd can do that. I fucking love lsd. It can be such a beautiful experience if used in a safe way
one of my friends also had the same thought that the only way to end the trip and the 'loops' was to kill himself. I've quit psychs and will probably quit weed too. Last time I did shrooms, I got a bad trip on both trips. Pretty sure the shroom gods were just trying to scare me away from doing mind altering drugs which is nice of them as my brain was getting super fucked :)
I recognize this is an old video, I am just curious why it is that you are using Psychosis and Schizophrenia interchangeably, when they are mutually exclusive diagnosis that also have different symptoms, though there are similarities.
Schizophrenia generally speaking shares the delusional constructs with psychosis, but has the added flavor of auditory, visual, tactile, and of sensory hallucinations. Where the mind generates new stimuli in the immediate environment of the patient.
Whereas Psychosis, generally a delusional disorder, does not involve necessarily additive hallucinations. Patients with psychosis generally speaking have more of an issue encoding stimuli from their immediate environment as opposed to creating new stimuli within that environment.
I was confused too, just jumbled two different things together
Addictive hallucinations is all one frame in the brain it where you picture this in the brain open your eyes and it sits out side the brain as the same frame anti one frame movement is where you see something in your room and it is moving around and it is moving up to you and hurting you known as paranormal activity the brain does not frame this so when you open your eyes it there and motion less two totally different things but I agree be highly careful when ingesting any form of drug.

@@Golden-db7zy Interesting
These psychosis episodes I’ve had, of course some of it can be brought on by actions of one’s self, like illegal drugs, you already know your doing wrong, so yes you already have that on your mind. Amongst other things. Relationships, telling lies, sometimes also have an effect. But, perhaps 🤔 a past life regression can also be the cause of some of the stuff to, and everyday society issues, where peer pressure, trying to fit in, and just living period all plays a roll to ones actions can lead up to any of the psychosis episodes. It’s the breaking point,
But illegal in who’s eyes? Not in mine. The powers that be made drugs illegal for a reason. That reason isn’t to protect little Jonny from jumping off his balcony because he thinks he can fly. If that were the case and it was to protect people’s health amend livelihood they would have banned sugar years ago. It kills more annually than all illicit substances combined. The war on drugs is a crock of horse 💩. Do not feel guilty when you do what you do. They, the ones who made these stupid laws and filled peoples heads with lies scare tactics and propaganda are the one who should feel guilty.

High change of a second episode of pyschosis a year after the first episode
I’m not sure if this counts, but after brain surgery of a large brain tumour, I developed post-op epilepsy (due to scarring from the operation). I was given three different kinds of anti-epileptic drugs to control seizures, and at least two of them had the side effect of psychosis on overdose. I had a scary week of psychosis: nurses banging on the wall next to my ward bed, people in my close proximity saying offensive (and actually realistic) things about me, and other terrifying things. It came to a point where I thought that the nurses around were there to harm me, and when one came over to me to insert an IV, I ripped it away from my arm, and she was brought to tears. My experience is hardly as bad as the other ones quoted here, but man, psychosis is a curse.
Ppl saying they in ur head or gang stalking, voices following you, like ppls condos are notes about u
- Heh, when my best friend went cold turkey after years and years of heavy alcohol abuse he went a bit nuts. I got a call from his ex saying he was texting her how sorry he was for getting her abducted but she should see it as a unique experience. I called him up and he was really apologetic that the aliens said I lived too far away to be picked up and thus was left behind on this apparently very real to him interstellar journey. He's telling me all this while he's also apparently tearing his room apart, looking for mice. I try to tell him there are no mice, and he acts like i must be stupid, because he just exploded one in his sock drawer......I thought he was just on some really messed up psychedelic's but after he told me how he quit drinking just cold turkey it was becoming pretty clear. Managed to talk to his mom and His family managed to calm him down enough that they got him to a hospital to help keep him safe while he worked the crazies out of his system.
- Good luck to everyone fighting their demons!
I had a breakdown. I was shaking violently and couldn’t breathe as voices were calling my name and telling me I killed myself and was dead. Then I started panicking because I felt I was gonna kill someone out of my control. I live every day since in dissociation. I give up

I just experienced one of these. Never again will I take marijuana. That was a horrifying experience. I was screaming at the neighbors and thought I was genuinely on fire. I had no sense of self and I couldn’t stop thinking or focus on any sense. The back of my neck was throbbing and I felt truly awful. Never again. I still feel the effects hours afterwards. I’ll tell when I feel better

Are you feeling better now bro?
Yes, I’m feeling muuuuuch better. After the trip it eventually starts feeling better and returning to normal. Still haven’t touched marijuana yey!

Getting the ASMR tingles from this kind voice.
Sometimes I think people get frustrated and start shouting and getting uptight, which comes across as psychosis. I used to be like that until I got rid of toxic people.
That isn’t psychosis. When you hear voices from the walls and think there are hidden cameras in your house and the government wants to lock you up, when in reality nothing is happening what so ever, then you have psychosis.
i'm glad i mostly ever had negative fear filled experiences with drugs like weed and psychedelics cuz it turned me off from drugs now. If those drugs made me feel good like it does with many others, i would've become addicted. Even alcohol makes me not feel good just makes me drowsy and not looking forward to tomorrow's hangover.
I couldn't believe how bad a trip i could have on weed until i was coming down off X , i tried smoking to ease my anxiety, but it only made it worse.

It is absolutely heartbreaking to watch someone go through this, I watched my son. It was like an out of body experience. He was doing that dabbing crap. 🤬to this day I will never understand the desire to even try dabbing. I just pray daily that he never try’s it again.

So i figured out what caused my oldest brothers schizophrenia. All these years i thought it was marijuana and was afraid to smoke it for so long. One night me and him was smoking telling stories from way back and he told me that he was 18 at the moment and was drinking underage with our uncles friend. And the friend said you know i put an ecstasy pill in the bottle. He said he was like a what and he said a black circle kept getting bigger and bigger and everything got quiet and he passed out. His illness got worse over the years
I still remember how he came home one day and was asking me do you hear that? Everyone is screaming my name and he was famous
The fuck? Sounds like your uncles friend drugged and might have even molested him? Jesus poor guy
It's been over 2 weeks since a bad delta 8 trip. Lots of hallucination auditory and visual and shaking like a chihuahua in fear. Like I'm cold but I'm not. The trembling lasted 5 daysa now today I'm still tripping! Colors are bright. Light sensitivity, I look at something and look away and it's a ghost image still there of it. Still toms of anxiety. Words and other things are wavy and I feel a weird dissociate/disoriented feeling. Like I'm still in a bad trip. Sounds startle me and i can think or focus or enjoy anything. I'm forgetting words. I can't function. I'm going to admit myself but I'm afraid antipsychotics will make things worse. A lot of people with HPPD and Dr. Abraham has said it makes things worse and the best is klonopin. But that's hard to get especially for a past drug user. My question is could it be HPPD or psychosis? I know my visuals aren't real and just perception distortions. Or could HPPD be along side psychosis? And a misdiagnosis and wrong treatment could lead be bad.

I had issues with psychosis before trying to get help for it. Went to the doctor and got put on prescription meds. That was a bad idea. While on those meds I considered doing things to others that I wouldn’t have thought to do before. I tried to kill myself with those prescriptions. I should have died as I also took over 40 muscle relaxers with those medications when I tried. After waking up from this experience, and not being taken to the hospital, I swore off prescription medicine and started smoking weed. Since doing so I have held a job longer than at any other point in life, I don’t feel so awkward around people and haven’t even considered ending my life. I realize that weed isn’t for everyone but it helped me. Then again I don’t purely smoke to get high. I use what I need at the moment and sit it down. Too much of a good thing isn’t necessarily good for you.
Thank for the share but be carefull, it's still using drugs to escape reality. In my opinion, you need to stay conscious of it to avoid psychosis.
I (maybe) use the same trick for the same reason, but it's not a solution, only a way to stay afloat until it do not work well enough.
@@pierrotA my opinion is it’s not a drug. It’s non addicting, not man made and is a seed bearing plant that was meant for mans use. I’ve seen some of the miracles it works on other illnesses and diseases. I do believe however that chronic use at an early age could cause issues. One should let their brain and body fully develop before using daily unless it is absolutely necessary. I was 33 when I started using as needed.
Very good presentation! Keep up the good work
I’ve been smoking way more than a regular amount of cannabis for around 3 years and for about 1 1/2 years out that time span I’ve been feeling different as if I can’t relate and feel connected to normal people because there is no spark or any indication in my mind to feel many emotions much less the complex ones and sense then I had thought if it was part of maturing as a young adult or if it was stress or the fact I have Aspergers, or the chronic depression/anxiety but either way I’ve been just going with the flow and I can’t really seem to remember much as life goes on unless I’m extremely high. I do have a very strong passion for the cannabis plant and have found that as a 19 year old I have an above average tolerance. No one has ever smoked me out or gotten me “too high” and even in experiences in which it’s beyond my capacities I just go with it and continue to dread the experience as life goes on that’s if the experience is not completely forgotten
I read your first couple of sentences and said “sounds a bit like ASD.”
Next sentence, you mention your Aspergers lol I have autism too, plus ADHD. I’m prescribed adderall, and I smoke weed every day. It’s the winning combination for me, but being unable to relate to “normal” people never goes away, it just gets easier to blend in.
I'm autistic. smoke weed every day. It helps me to get in the zone and be a special, unique human being. If it wasn't for weed, then I wouldn't have gotten this outrageous world record for the Sphere skill game from Trials Evolution..

Or drugs make you think through the Matrix you've been trapped in without question your whole life, but yet you are still stuck living within those confines with no escape. So psychosis is basically waking up in life, but being stuck in the same routine you've always been in without escape.
Nice
If that’s been your experience so far, I’d say you’ve gotten a full dose of the intended purpose. The reason why hallucinogens are so crucial to human evolution and have persisted in one form or another throughout human history, I think is due to the primal nagging feeling that pervades every act of hesitation and doubt compelling us to look inward to question our existence. Why are we here? Who is making the rules, and why are they such a sociopath?
Rather than debate details and discuss the minutia, we both can agree that something is DEEPLY wrong with our society, and the world in general.
Something is fundamentally wrong with our perceptions both collectively and individually that unidentified trauma and separation have conditioned us to forget that we are all connected in the same web of life that is the ecosystem of this glorious planet. What fate befalls our neighbor is shared with our own, even if we can’t immediately sense it. This naturally creates distrust and even outright disgust with the social and political mechanisms that keep our awareness dulled and misled from realizing how interdependent we are on each other’s well being. It can make you feel like everything around you is a lie meant to reinforce a paradigm of control and domination whose very existence is synonymous with the consumption of souls to perpetuate an endless war machine.
Let me be clear in saying that this perception is not wrong; what you see is almost certainly the case, mostly because you instantly fail in that moment to conform and accept the machine, thereby making you a prisoner whose fate is unavoidable in being trapped forever. I feel your pain brother, and even still it breaks my heart. But remember that while this awareness you’ve cultivated is a heavy burden, it is also an incredibly profound source of inspiration to serve others. What is more rewarding than being a gentle helping hand to another who is lost in despair and bound far too tightly in their personal narrative than is necessary?
You carry the alchemists stone within you, and every act of compassion is like a transmutation of base lead into resplendent gold. Forgive me if I come across as religious or pushing dogma, I want to be clear that whatever you choose to believe is your right and is a crucial step in determining who you are and what makes your perception a valuable one. If you conform to others, no matter how well meaning they may be, you drown out your own light by accepting even more veils and illusion. It’s alright though, really, it is.
Don’t forget to smile at the cashier or thank the delivery guy and really mean it. The best way you can spite the control matrix that enslaved you is to completely rebel against your jailers entirely by choosing the opposite of domination and control, choosing compassionate no judgement and forgiveness. This whole system runs on selfishness and greed… by becoming a beacon of light in this way you are giving the biggest middle finger you possibly could to it. That’s what it means to be human, I think. To know you are frail and finite and that everything you are and do to combat the system is ultimately insignificant, but to still act with compassion in the ultimate act of defiance.

My wife suffers with psychosis.. from years years years of various traumas.. sexual, mental, physical abuses and seeing or first hand witnessing extreme violence.
She has become catatonic several times...she hallucinated and had delusions.. now...after many years of suffering... finally she has found medical treatment which has her back to "normal" as normal can get for her or someone in her position..
However her doctors have said...her particular condition will only get worse and worse as time passes...and each "break" she will have will literally change her as a person...to the point she will be a completely different person each time she passes through a "break"..
Also her meds she is on..they say..will reduce her life expectancy by 5 to 10 years...
I can tell when she's having issues..as I can notice changes from facial expressions only shown during her breaks...which...many other people who suffer with this also have..
It's very interesting but equally scary to experience or witness...from the outside looking in.. and definitely a very hard situation to be able to get through ...both for the people who suffer with this and for those around them who are close to them..

Failed most classes, lost a lot of friends, started smoking weed once a day, to twice, to 3 times periodically, then to constantly smoking all day, started at 15, been a year and a half, starting to realize I’m not how I was when I started, I started having constant panic attacks too, I also have adhd and add so my mind would always loop back to panic, my life right now is miserable and I’m trying to learn everything I can about this stuf, advice -- this guy is right, if ur doing drugs atleast be responsible unlike I was
Found this video randomly, read through the comments and woah i never realized this is what i experienced a few years back probably when i was 16, always smoked and i would get crossed and because i was going through the darkest moments in life after i had made it through middle school which was worst. i’m 18 now but man everything felt so unreal i didn’t know who i was. like i was watching myself in 3rd eye perspective in my own head and it wasn’t clicking since i’m introspective. def lost myself i was like those creatures from the movie Soul just lost. Gladly i was able to overcome it. recently finding my stones of who i am and i always seem to find one when i find another personality of myself through a series of moments that i am realizing in this journey alone. life path 6-1-22
Smoked for years. Started going bad for me early on. After smoking I’d become quiet and really flat , losing facial expressions and basically my personality. Then after a few more years smoking I started to get butterflies when I was stoned or a feeling of nervousness. 10 years on and I was having full blown panic attacks where it felt like my brain had taken over my nervous system and the thoughts went quicker, darker and would send me into a spiral. The attacks could last for an hour. Terrifying. My addiction is such that I still smoke. Locked in a cycle of cravings and then drug induced, acute psychotic panic attacks. It’s a living hell.
I’m sorry but this made me lol, it made me think of the stand up comedy bits about smoking weed and getting too damn high att
This only spoke to general and broad psychosis with literally 5 seconds devoted to drugs - the title is misleading.
Thank you for the video Michael, it was really educational. It's interesting to learn that there's no counter to positive symptoms that're quantifiable in modern medicine. Since psychosis has a huge base in stress, I'm hoping that more people have an affirmation therapy approach like care teams generally use for Alzheimer's and other dementias. Usually there's too much speculation, and criticisms which lead to patient decline (like paranoia in my experience), and poor rapport.

Just figured id say i grew up completely silver spooned and still got psychosis but thats what psychedelics weed and liquor can do to you if you abuse it 🤷♂️
what do you define as psychosis? for me it made me feel really weird for a day or so after but for some reason it was like no directly the day after. trying to figure it out, it was a cart and anxiety/depersonalization happened days after when i started looking stuff up about fake carts. my mind is quite mysterious
@@benm8763 I have a complete break from reality. I hallucinate and (in the best way I can describe it) I live in three worlds, the physical world, my imagination and my thoughts. They all mesh completely into one another and I cannot tell what is real or what is really happening. Nothing makes sense at all, I have zero filters, I talk nonsense and I cannot function at all or do basic tasks. I thought I was permanently crazy.
@@scatterlienatalie9873 wow yeah that’s a lot more serious than what i experienced. i’d really like to smoke cannabis some time but given my bad experiences with carts and edibles i’m not sure if it’s a good idea. have you tried it since? i’m mostly worried it will reset symptoms
You use psychosis and schizophrenia like they are the same thing which they are not. Maybe I am just misinterpreting your video
Yes they are not, Psychosis is a symptoms of Schizophrenia but schizophrenia is associated with other symptoms as well.
The Daily Dose uh, it’s not necessarily a symptom of schizophrenia. You can also have a psychosis without having schizophrenia. I had a cannabis and sleep deprivation induced psychosis for example and I don’t have schizophrenia.
yup, agreed you can have episodes psychosis without having schizophrenia
S1QuanA I had the same thing happen to me. Now I’ve been sober for 2 months. Have you smoked since then ?
Elliot Lamp no you’re right they are not the same thing at all
I've tried to load up on water, as a test to see whether I can fix my problems myself. I'm also doing belly breathing. This is the first day that things seem quiet. It's getting noisier but I think that's just the progress of the day.
Thanks for the insight on this topic.
When i was on bath salts i fell into this after 4 days no sleep. I walked to the hospital that day and got help but the stories i have can create a book. No mattet what anyone tells ya, what you think is 100 percent correct. No matter the craziness the crazed person will not change their mind even with evidence.
can u say a story?
@@cykablyat9333 i found a cig butt under my bed and thought my gf was cheating on me bc of that unknown cig butt. I place knives in my cousins couches bc i thought ppl under the house will get us at night. I fought a tree thinking it was a person. I worked at arbys and got everyone i worked with hooked on it (shameful) we would sprinkle that crap on top of the fake weed (k2 or other stuff) i could give details. I walked at least 600 miles in the month in a half i was on it. Had a fit bit. But yea the only thing that is real is what you think no matter how crazy it is to someone with a sound mind. The hospital was amazed that i got out of the stuper bc they told me its rare ppl go back to "normal"
My sister is addicted to bath salts and is so crazy. Your right she won't believe anything with proof she's not right about her delusions. How do you help them she's so stubborn and convinced salt is a blessing to the world every one should do it . Nothing bad can come from it. Uhh so stupid
@@meganklobchar7014 I truly hate you and your family is going through that. Unfortunately the only way it's going to change is if she decides to do so; or if you and your parents are legally able to commit her I'd suggest that. Tough love is what made it happen for me. My dad said the only thing he'd do for me while I was in that state is feed me. No shelter no money. She has to feel like she has no place else to turn to etc. It's a sad thing bc I get what she means in a sense. The first month or so was great in terms of everything is better on it. When I started i was under the impression it was "fake coke" after I detoxed I found it it's synthetic ecstasy so that makes sense in hindsight. I really hope it works out and this gives a little advise. Don't turn on her but tough love is the only way to make her change her mind.
Can the damage really be irreversible.im so scared that this can be true for someone close to me.this person has been off drugs for a while and is still hearing and feeling things that aren’t there and
Really believes it. Any comments or feedback would be appreciated thanks
The only thing that’ll help is to stop all drugs for a few years and you’ll be relatively normal again but there will always be that flame inside that won’t leave.
Sadly for some heavy users the dopamine has been used to much they literally run out of it ....which for many means no happiness for a long time ...meth is one of those drugs that will deplete your dopamine in a dramatic way.
Jesus. Pray to Jesus and ask for a miracle
@@massiv323 dopamine rejuvinates it never runs out permanently
I will never forget the day I went to get high with some classmates & the horror that followed. Well I got high alright & kept passing out & waking up telling these so called friends I couldn’t breath. Of course they laughed at me & told me I was just freaking out. I’ll never forget how it hit me all at once & how I felt like I lost total control. Went home & from that point I was never the same. Ended up dropping out of high school a few weeks later bc of extreme panic attacks & having flash backs of not being able to breath. I remember for the longest time not wanting to go outside & every night laying there & shaking feeling like something bad was going to happen to me. This is something that truly never goes away but you learn to live with it & with the power of Christ you can overcome 🙏🏻
no way, you turned christian because of that? the experience did fucked you up damn
Are you okay now?
Can I ask did anything happen in your childhood? It sounds like you had PTSD and the weed just brought whatever you were hiding out.
How do you recover?! Any tips?
Left photo the ventricles are enlarged ?
I’ve had three episodes already where I completely act like I’m someone else even as far as telling my husband a whole other life story that I’ve never thought about. 2 times on drugs & once sober. I’ve decided to go completely clean. Will this continue?
My husband thought I had multiple personality disorder
@@sammiemunster9545 I look at a computer and see a dumber version of the brain( I only use this comparison because computers are figured out we know how they work etc. Whereas our brains are intricate and complicated)any way when something goes bad on a computer you can replace the broken parts with new. We can do the same to an extent with vital organs problem is we can't repair our brains, technology isn't there yet and our brains only develop once throughout our life so its a matter of reprogramming your brain or seeking professional psychiatric help to identify the problem in more depth, find the imbalance and hopefully medicate accordingly to the individuals data
Are you better now?
My wife is going through this right now. We have been smoking weed for about 3 months the doctor did she she is diagnosed with psychosis which was caused by weed. Its been a week a day i see improvement but still off and on. Its very very scary seeing someone go through this and witnessing. Just want to know how long this will take from people who have actually gone through it? God bless
@ghostfacekilla can you give me an update how’s you’re wife doing now ? My brother just had as psychotic breakdown this week Nd I wanna know how long did it take for her to recover and same circumstances smoking weed ..

I have enough THC every single day to get an elephant stoned and my level of crazy has reduced immensely. My entire life changed when i started using thc. I was less angry, more agreeable, my political affiliation changed, im more in tune with the natural world, and just generally more in tune with my place as a human. Psychosis is a genetic factor, it has to be. Otherwise i would be in a psych ward
I love all the people saying their experience with psychosis and then they preface it with 'So I did 3 tabs of acid, MDMA and a few bong hits', like you retards really need to not just be safe with drugs but also to stop being a fucking idiot
I've got high every eveneing for nearly past year and i've defo experienced negative side effects but I'm also responsible. I use it as a reward. I know how to not go down a bad path. Too many people are stupid with drugs. That's the issue
@@kklh7918 i have gotten high every day for the last decade, and i can say that mostly all side effects associated with cannabis use subsided after the first year of use. The only real side effects were short term memory problems and fatigue, which are both actually just desired effects of cannabis use and not really a side effect anyways lol. But yes, be safe, know your limits, and never touch anything discovered by a chemist. Substances produced by plants and fungi have a much more extensive use by humans and tend to be more predictable, as we know more about them and how they effect our bodies. I also feel safer consuming substances that i know humans have consumed for thousands of years, it means that somewhere hidden in the recesses of my genome are hints that my ancestors used them and i am safer for it
@@user-kz8zr4si3i yeah man weed is great honestly. I know there are bad things like if you smoke before dinner then its sometimes hard to feel hungry without smoking which is what happens to me and honestly quite bad i'll admit but that's generally when im sedentary. I go gym nearly everyday, after a solid sesh im dying for food and weed is just the cherry on top
@@kklh7918 yeah, the hunger thing is a withdrawal effect for me. If i don't smoke it messes with my desire to eat food for a couple days. Less a side effect of use and more associated with dependency. Definitely habit forming, despite what a lot of people say. For me anyways, not everyone who uses it forms a habit, but it works so well for me i just accept the downsides
@@user-kz8zr4si3i yea but honestly I’ve gotten over it before. There have been times where I’ve gone to family stuff and haven’t smoked for a week or so and first couple days it’s a bit hard but when you forget about being high and you got other stuff to do I don’t think about it as much.
I know it’s a semi bad side effect but I don’t think it’s the worst thing especially if you know when it gets to a really bad state. I know my limits and everything should be safe
Idk if it was psychosis but three times after smoking too much weed I fell into a state of mind where it felt like my brain left my skull (light headed) Every time my mind split and I was confusing myself thinking the situation was hostile on one hand and on the other trying to convince myself it was bc I was too high. Back and forth.
I would think to myself “I’m losing control of my thoughts” then I would think “where are all of the weapons, I don’t want to get near them” then immediately after ask myself “why am I curious about weapons? I’m looking to hurt someone and I don’t mean to”. The whole time feeling light headed and frustrated, lashing out to try to wear off the effects then thinking I was acting angry and need to calm down but I couldn’t find a place in my mind to be calm. The 2nd time it petrified me for a week, the third time I just gave in and stood still without any action and I was thinking to myself “I feel like a total ass hole just standing here so stubbornly” but it was the only way to let my mind recalibrate, then it subsided after a half hour. It’s probably not a full blown psychosis but it was the most terrifying experiences of my life.
Listening to a lot of Allan Watts lectures has really allowed me to understand reality much clearer
