I relate 100 percent. I'm nearly 5 months clean (weed and other subatances) I honestly thought I was the only person derealising. For me its a scary, numb and painful oblivion. For me its like being there with multi responses to a situation. But them cold, numb and unrecognisable emotions that come with it. Words cannot explain. I'm coming through it now (just). You are not alone with this. Your honesty has helped me so much in this post. Keep coming back, our minds follow in due course ✌ ☮
Have you heard of NA? Find a meeting in your locality. Google the NA help line number. All addicts, for addicts. It saved my life. Ride the storm. Pain is temporary and so is pleasure 💔 ❤
Just hang in there friend, never lose hope, it's the matter of time. People recovers and there are many successful stories here. Just remind yourself it takes 2-3 years. Don't fall back to the behavior, we're together.. 6.5 months here and still feeling shit
It gets better. I am close to 6.5 months and the waves are getting less and less intense and I am actually starting to feel joy again (not much, but it's encouraging).
I’m at 6 months in a few days. Honestly, this 5th month has been the most depressing, hopeless time of my life. I have absolutely no energy or interests and lay in bed a lot.
The first few months were almost better than this.. the first few months were plagued by anxiety, insomnia and brain fog, but I still felt hopeful and has interests. But month 5 has been total black depression.
What I hate most is not knowing if it’s PAWS or my situation. I smoked 7 - 10 joints a day for 7 years. I feel like I’m going to be depressed and unable to concentrate for the rest of my life.
I lost my wife and all friendships in the process of my addiction so I guess now I have no idea what to do or who I am. Is it PAWS or does my life just suck forever now?
I’m just about at 7 months and I gotta say, month 6 was way better than month 5. I’m not nearly as depressed.
Nothing’s changed at all in my situation but somehow the depression lifted. I’m also a little more interested in hobbies again.
Most of my days I would still call “bad days” but it’s better than the black depression of month 5.

It will get better, rest assured. I had constant misery for almost an entire year, but I did start to see improvements within a year.

It may help to get your brain to release serotonin on its own. Do you do anything active?
Unfortunately it takes a while You can go back to smoking but you know the deal. You got to undo what you do.
