Suggest Remedy For Mental Health Problem
i been having this weird feeling all time for a couple of months now where it feels like the world is fake. it makes me want to think about life all the time and it makes me ask myself if life is real or not, along with messed up vision and sometimes feels as everything is going slow around me. it sometimes scares me and im not sure what to do. i want this to go away and not live like this for the rest of my life. i think the cause of this was the use of marijuana but im not too sure. any suggestions to get rid of this naturally and fast if possible?

Hi, thanks for the query. Since when are you using cannabis (marijuana)? in what quantity & form? (smoked, chewing)? Yes you are right. Cannabis use especially cannabis intoxication is associated with experience of depresonalization-derealization (I am not real, world is not real etc.) Also, prolonged use of cannabis is associated with so called amotivational syndromw where world appears slow, lack of initiative etc. Hence best way is to quit cannabis use immediately. Cannabis being fat soluble takes some time (1-2 week) to clear from body (depending upon type of preparation used). Also, if needed, do consult a Psychiatrist for medications like SSRI which helps to alleviate some of the symptoms of amotivation & also for ways to keep yourself sober/clean. Good Luck
