Why Do I Lack Focus And Concentration Or Suffer From Diarrhea?

Please take the time to read this It can really help me out:

Lately I have been feeling like crap and It all started the weekend after me and my buddy had smoked pot, I don't think that this had anything to do with it but it might so I'll just put that out there, Anyways I have just noticed that when I woke up the next 2 or 3 days after that I could just tell things were different.. It stills is different as of now when I'm typing this. I'm 15 and I just cannot focus on anything, It seems as if everything has changed. Usually I'm never really hungry anymore and I have lost weight due to the fact that I'm not eating that much, But I still am on a regular basis I just usually don't care for food. I am always tired trying not to fall asleep in school, And when I get home I will just crash on the couch and sleep for hours. About 2 days ago I came home from school and slept literally from 4PM to 6AM the next morning. Whenever I have to go take a poop, I usually have diarrhea which sucks. Also when I am in school I can't really focus anymore, I just don't care about what the teacher is saying that much because I feel like crap.. Whenever I have to read something I cannot focus on the words and I can't really think about what I am reading. We had to do a project where I had to research on this famous writer and my friends thought It was easy and for me it was hard due to the fact that I can't focus. Although I can't focus one of the brighter side of these effects is that my memory is still very good, I am good in school besides the "reading" portion of it. I had one day to memorize all the parts of the heart and I aced the test. So yeah, and about the marijuana thing I don't really do marijuana that much only sometimes. Even if marijuana wasn't the cause of this which I'm about 99% sure it's not I still will not do it again this day forward. I always want asprin now because usually I have a headache, and It just doesn't seem as if my brain is functioning like it use too, I don't really think things are all that funny anymore my vision is fuzzy and I don't really like to look people in the eye... I don't know this is all just so weird I really hope one of you can maybe help me find a solution to this problem because it really sucks! PLEASE REPLY.

Sometime after taking marijuana you may feel withdrawal features what you have described.Almost all of them are psychological not physical.As time passes , they go away.however, it's severity is more nad affecting your routine daily schedule, you can take help of anti-anxiety medicines like benzodiazepines after consulting doctors. After recovery these medicines can be tapered off and stopped.You can be evaluated better by a doctor through physical examination.IF you can't go to doctor, wait for 3-4 days, gradually everything will be ok .And better to not take again pot..
