I guess this is a warning for people when it comes to THC. Especially if you have a history of anxiety, panic attacks, or derealization/depersonalization.

I've never smoked anything in my life previously. Never taken a THC or CBD gummy. In early January I took a gummy with 28mg of THC. I immediately felt weird. Derealization, dizziness, weird cold feeling in the back of my head, headache, etc. with a rapid heart rate. I had a full blown panic attack and I thought I was having a stroke or heart attack. I went to the ER and they found nothing wrong with me. They gave me an anti-anxiety pill and I calmed down a bit.

However, the derealization was still there. I guess that's what it is? Not diagnosing myself but it feels like PPPD too. It lasted for 3 days nonstop after until it went away. Every now &amp; then it would come back for a day then go away.

Now, in March, I've probably felt this for a week straight. Sometimes it's not as noticeable and on the edge of going away completely but then it comes back. I just feel disconnected with my environment. It's like I'm not immersed in it at all... like I have a VR headset on. My eyes feel heavy too.

Every now and then it freaks me out but I calm down before I have another panic attack. Sometimes I feel like crying a bit. Ahh, it sucks.

Any tips or recommendations? I went to my doctor last week and have blood work scheduled. I'm also doing this saliva test at home. I have health anxiety so naturally I'm starting to worry about my brain. Feels a little numb sometimes. Feel light pressure.

Any of you gone through this? Could being on my phone or working on my laptop make it worse somehow? Like the light on the screen?
