LethargicAcid

thats what weed does if u smoke a lot. It temporarily increases dopamine, and then dopamine gets lowered below baseline afterwards. thats why stoners are stereotypically unfocused. Low dopamine = lower focus = brain fog. 

I only smoke like a couple hits when i smoke. not .5. 

For me, just a couple hits helps. Increased focus and clarity etc... But when u smoke alot it causes Depersonalization even for normal people. 

Ur in control of urself. tell urself u got it. no but's

for some reason pot decreases dopamine althuogh its a stimulant. notice how potheads arelazy.

ADHD = low dopamine levels

i smoke pot and my dopamine levels are so low. to the point where i stand up and almost pass out lol ...... (i already have ADHD). but when i almost pass out i feel normal for like 1 second lol. it feels great.

nice

OldSchoolAr, 

I am thrilled that he answered. And surprised. Thanks. 

Yes please. I would love to see what he says.

I wil not publish it without permission. 

Fascinating!

Meditation, yoga, deep breathing, going vegan, staying in the moment, excersize, decent sleep, getting off of HPPDonline, getting courage to face the anxiety directly. 

GOING OUTSIDE was probably the biggest factor. And getting in touch with my feelings. also, essential oils(lavender), swimming, and green tea(decaf) seemed to help(although people say it increases their visuals.)

ACCEPTING MY VISUALS !!

(honestly weed helped me but I am not going to advise that. it basically snapped me  back into reality. meditating while on weed. because weed brings out the subconscious fears and stuff, so its risky. plus it increased my visuals)

Now im gonna go meditate. bye.

Hopefully I recover 100% from all of this mental illness.

Note: my HPPD symptoms:

-static

-pareidolia(faces in the clouds and stuff)

-ghosting

go on runs or swims

you are gonna be okay its all in ur mind. u got this.

I know it seems bad and negative now, but you can overcome this. and ending it is NEVER the logical answer.

I've found ket and ghb (for me) don't increase my HPPD symptoms

Ket (very small amount) brought me out of a bad depression like magic, plus i had a very spiritual experience, which is rare with DP

otherwise you might risk a panic attack

panick attacks on weed are fun for me. 

I remember once i was having a panick attack sober. I smoked bud and the panick/post panick fatigue was viped out like a benzo would. Weed helps me focus AND relieves anxiety.

i invite panick attacks. because i know grounding techniques/meditation to control the panick. and i can process the panick, face the fear .

Weed makes everything so much better for me. in moderation only . unless im remembering a phone number.

Grounding technique: take a bath, put head underwater so that I listen to my own heartbeat. focus on my heartbeat and it slows down. its fun. 

^thats what i did when i had that panick attack. 

ps : dissociation is a symptom of panick attacks

ps.s. : i smoked weed earlier and it felt like a trip. i could like see my dogs soul or whatever lol..

what "youwhat" said, dont let it beat you. 

The anxiety is the problem, not the visuals in my opinoin

stop being negative and venting on HPPDonline..... please for your sake and others 

If u expect the school year to suck, what do u think will happen? i wonder.. lol

yeah DP completely fades(i think). Mines going away more every day with 5-6 hours of meditation/yoga a day. (basically just sitting doing nothing for hours and hours in nature)

depression and stuff makes a negative outlook on life. so that one's consciousness has a lot of negativity. 

Just know that things just SEEM negative. 

Positive thoughts multiply like bacteria, as do negative ones.

Also, you never really know what the future holds. It make seem like everything will get worse. with that attitude, things very well may become worse. 

I strongly think that the anxiety/depression is the issue, not the visuals.

I reccomend geting off of HPPDonline and living life instead. do your best every day, every moment

yeah i agree.

I love the sensation.

patience

weed helps me meditate and i just do my best not have anxiety about the visuals ..... but it all in all it helps me.. so far. (with anxiety, depression, clarity of mind, ADHD medication)

symptoms

-snow

-ghositng

-parieldolia - objects within objects like faces ...freaky..like clouds and shit 

mindfuck

-DP getting less pretty much everyday. weed helps my DP personally.

Green Tea has helped me so much. I feel it right now and I feel awesome it seriously reduced my mental illness

-decrease anxiety/depression SIGNIFICANTLY 

-lemon in the tea REDUCES BRAIN FOG(potassium), and the lemon helps break up the theanine or something, it helps

-helps manage my ADHD symptoms.  

-helps me meditate/yoga

Note it has some caffiene.

IDK if it affects my visuals because I dont check to see.

I heard the half-life is 3 hours, so its allegedly fully out of ones system after 6 hours. (the amounts of caffeiene stay for like 10+ hours i think which is the only annoying part)

So i reccomend that when the l-theanine wears off(active ingrediant), then eat some valerian root to try to counteract the caffiene. 

(l-theanine counteracts the anxious effects of caffiene)

L-theanine in green tea increases dopamine while increases GABA, so more focus, less anxiety. best combo  ever

when u lay down at night, the subconscious mind kicks in

and long distance running, swimming, skateboarding, is a good high/meditation(in nature). and im sure surfing is too . 

breathe slower and less adrenaline i think

ok I think that this theory probably is not true now. 

I think that the anxiety and DP is just related to the visuals. which i think is overcomable in most instances

bradon you are going to be okay. just think positive. you will eventually get over all of it. I pretty much am

Maybe get on antidepressants or something I dont know... i never tried them. 

Its going to take a while but the more u believe in yourself and think positive the better u will gradually feel. 

umm green tea decaf ?
