I don't understand what is happening, I didn't know what forum to adress.

Hello, I am 16 years of age and I have lost control of reality. I weigh 180lbs and I am 6'2" tall. I DO NOT take drugs nor drink alcohol (wine at Sunday supper). The best way I can describe my symptomes is like a 'haze' you get when you come out of a weed high (I used to smoke socially, 5 months clean) and you don't really remember what has happened, only bits and pieces. Well, it is annoying and very scary, it is my reality. One minute I will be perfectly fine, 100% healthy feeling, the next minute I will be ripped from reality and put into 'dream'. Sometimes when I am sitting in class this will happen, I won't be able to understand plain english or read it. I have also had an occasion when I walked my friend home. After I got to her doorstep everything felt 'fuzzy', next thing I knew I was halfway home and I could barely remember my visit with her, let alone walking her home. The most recent incedent was today. I was on the phone with my girlfriend. My mind went a bit fuzzy and I ignored it and we continued to talk on the phone. Part of my mind told me this was realiy, the other part told me 'it is only a dream, when you wake up it will all be fine'. I started being an ******* towards my girlfriend, the world around me seemed to droop and become a dream. On one end of the phone my girlfriend was in tears, on my end 'I' was pushing and proding her, getting her more upset as the 'good' part of my mind told me to stop. This time I managed to grab on and stop the 'dream' ... I am lucky that I have an understanding girlfriend who has helped me through this issue before. I NEVER want to hurt her, mentally or physically.Please help me, I am terrified of what is happening. I like to be in control of my mind...I dislike when my control is broken. Please help. Thank you.

Go see a psychiatrist if you can since your symptoms can be caused for a wide variety of reasons.
Good luck

You are Young however You need to speak to someone. You could be suffering depression/anxiety

That would explain so much. I have had one laced weed experience (why I stopped smoking) and I think that maybe around the same time period. Did a doctor ever tell you why? Did you ever get closure?

P.S. I have been to my Doc and he tells me one of 2 things: 1) *Your looking to me like your father, your fine* (my dad has Bi Polar) or 2) *Your not eating enough so itès making your blood sugar too low* (I eat regularely...)

When I was a teenager I did weed also, then one day I smoked with someone who had 'laced' weed. I didn't know it until I was back at my grandma's house...  After I 'freaked out' in front of my family (I was 17) and had the same feeling of being out of touch and way out of control, for a few years I had panic attacks and the same feeling, like you couldn't touch reality, and afterwards I would have fast forwarded and could barely remember what happened. Just a thought since you had smoked for awhile...
I only wished I had options to medication back then, unlike now where you can get help.
Have you been to a Dr yet for any tests?
You are not alone here...
