A Trip to the World of the Unreal

Sometimes I'll get these rifts; it's been happening ever since I've started smoking pot. Hasn't happened in a while but when it did, it was like a break--or cut--from reality. I felt myself untangle from the tangible world. I still was able to maintain my functions and do what I was supposed to do, but it was literally, as they say, TRIPPING. Because the episode caused me considerable anxiety, I've been trying to avoid it. But the question is, should I?
I am planning to go back to the place where it happened and face the fear of it. I just cannot stand the rapid heartbeat I get, sweaty palms, etc... I would love, however, to emerge myself in this sensation and allow myself to overcome it.
Has anyone had similar experiences after smoking weed? I am not anxious. But my work environment is not supportive, and that is why I don't feel comfortable throwing myself into this mode of consciousness. If something happened to me, I'd only get yelled at to keep working because it is busy (damned part-time jobs).
I feel this happening sometimes when I am very hungry and haven't eaten, or when I think about it a lot and try to bring my mind there.

 

yeah mate i call it ridieing thr wave, for me im no were my thoughts leave my mind, not emty or whole, every thing i relate two comes across un a difrent light and manny answers can be found, also i notice i come acrros with lots of riddles meaning less with out the coded thought pattern and i get a strong need to help otheres its great weird and fun if you ask me, thats what i get, does it relate to ur experances at all, times short so a few details are unrevieled peace my friend

 

Yes, I would get panic attacks during the end of my highs and now even after stopping I still get panicky at times for no reason. I some times think I am just gonna lose it and go insane some days I also have this feeling of dread some days. Does stuff move when you look at it sometimes? That happens to me also.

 

Nah. Things don't move when I look at them, but you've summed up the other stuff pretty well--getting panicky sometimes even after stopping. I thought I put an end to it all. I guess I've just opened a door that hasn't closed yet.

 

.. i can't really understand a lot of what you've said.

 

guess its a difrent kinda hi, sorie bro,

 

i had it today again at work, but i rode that shit =]

 

Maybe you'd get more help in the MJ forum? Sounds more like a direct consequence of the drug and less to do with mental health issues. Maybe they could recommend a way to reduce this kind of thing

 

It's okay.
Thanks for the help though
I'm happy to say it hasn't happened in a while. I think the drug part of it has worn off.
Furthermore, analyzing the situation, I found it tended to happen at work when I hadn't eaten breakfast. Usually, when I eat something, I am ok. But ya, it could have been that plus some consequence of the drug. You're right. Well, i haven't been smoking pot since July.. =]
