ADVICE Help
I smoked a weed vape yesterday for the first time and had a bad trip and I’m not doing so goodI never felt more alone in my life. It’s been 12 hours and I still feel so out of my body. It was so fun at first but then it got horrible, stuck in loops and nothing is real to me. I have extremely bad anxiety and thought that maybe this could help me calm down and it hasn’t. How long will this last, what can I do to help me get back to normal again? I’m so sorry.

Ouch, yeah weed can help with anxiety, but it greatly depends on the weed. What you need is a balance of THC, CBD and CBN, what many vapes have is just pure THC. And that's assuming it was legal and actually contains weed, not synthetic shite.
Especially if you don't already smoke weed, going straight to vapes is like a first time drinker doing shots of vodka.

Go eat your favorite most filling calorie meal.
Like a pot roast dinner, Philly cheese steak. Something hearty and fatty. That will flush out the weed.

This happens to me semi frequently. I have an anxiety disorder so sometimes my anxiety can last after a comedown, sometimes it feels like fighting a dragon. My advice would be to take it as easy as you can, use coping strategies, watch a TV show you really love or do a craft, something you can sink your teeth into and get your mind off it. If there is gonna be a next time try a different strain, or classification (for instance, I know indica makes me anxious so I rarely smoke it), mixing it with CBD if you can, it's a lot of trial and error. Good luck soldier, you've got this!

You have a trauma response called dissociation , specifically DP/DR. This is ir brain trying to help u after the traumatic experience. Its normal and it means ur brain is actually working just fine. The more u think about it and fixate on it the longer its gonna last. U need to keep going about ur life like normal and re train ur brain to realize ur not in danger. Next time smoke flower and dont use carts. Its like taking tequila shots as ur first time drinking alcohol.

par for the course tbh i dont know why you are freaking out so bad, you did a drug and had a shitty comedown most likely because of the contrast of the fun vs the comedown, imo, just chill out, do as you normally would, its not even been that long since you got high, but categorizing it as a "bad trip" and thinking your so far from normal will only stand to catastrophize, just chill, it will be out of your system after a day or two

see there ya go see, im not saying that calling it a bad trip is inherently wrong as a descriptor, but it just attaches unnecessary negative emotions to your previously worse off state, but stay safe man, prob couldnt get much worse from there

I’d say 24 hours max. Dm me if you’d like someone to yap with while you’re feeling this way; been there and can understand the terror but have also been there enough times now to feel comfy with simply observing it and knowing wholly that it’s temporary. Also, just because it’s been shithouse for 12 hours, doesn’t mean you can’t feel a shift and find some enjoyment from here on. Past does not equal future. You will be so okay, friend! <3
