Am I developing Schizophrenia? Or is it just my panic and dissacocation disorder?
Well ever since I was little I was a "sensitive" kid. I used to be the kid who would have to know that mom was ok with me. If I had a question I would ask her many times until she responded and if I yelled at her and threw a tantrum I would apologize till she started yelling again. I also had alot of OCD, but I never had the cleanliness part of it, just like tics or movements I thought I HAD to do. I also had alot of anxiety and Agoraphobia. But now after a marijuanna caused panic attack which made me pass out and hit the front of my head on the tar, I have felt strange. Im not sure if its just dissacociation but sometimes I feel either detached from me or everything else and it makes me go into a "fog" where lights hurt my eyes and I feel really confused. Sometimes I notice that I dont form sentences right when I am like that. I also always have a pressure in my head that feels like it moves around which causes me to do a strange facial tic of moving my lip and rubbing my head. In school I also have many panic attack which make me tired. Please help me, I just dont want to end up with something serious. Oh and also, sometimes even when Im calm I dont feel like me, I feel like I dont have my emotions and myself
I don’t think any of us are in a position to give you this answer. Only your doctor is and I do hope you are seeing one. It would be good to make an appointment and discuss all this with him/her.

You’re not mentally ill. You sound pretty normal to me, apart from your uneducated self-diagnosing. As someone who has studied psychology, you don’t sound like you have any of the things you think you do.
And you’re "in a fog" because of the pot. Stop smoking and it will go away. Problem solved.
EDIT: Chelsea – When used habitually, the "fog" from marijuana can last for quite a while.

It’s not schizophrenia, its just a combination of anxiety and disassociation disorders, amplified by marijuana making it seem that way. Seriously, stop smoking pot. If you need medication use something designed to help like a prescribed medication from a psychiatrist, not an illegal substance.

Um.. how long ago did you hit your head? Guys, the effect of pot does not last past a few hours when you’re using it. If he is still feeling detached when he’s NOT smoking, that has nothing to do with the pot. Sounds like ever since you hit your head, you’ve been having these issues. Did you ever go get checked out for a concussion? Being in a fog, light hurts your eyes, feeling disoriented and confused, pressure in your head… you need to go to a doctor about possibly having a concussion. I’m no expert, but it doesn’t sound like you have schizophrenia at all. You don’t have hallucinations or delusions. Start with going to a normal physician about your head, and if they find nothing wrong, move on to speak with a psychologist or some sort of mental health expert.

God loves you…no matter what…
Use anything you have to thank him…some other people need your help…
John 14 (Contemporary English Version)
John 14
Jesus Is the Way to the Father
1Jesus said to his disciples, "Don’t be worried! Have faith in God and have faith in me. [a] 2There are many rooms in my Father’s house. I wouldn’t tell you this, unless it was true. I am going there to prepare a place for each of you. 3After I have done this, I will come back and take you with me. Then we will be together. 4You know the way to where I am going." 5Thomas said, "Lord, we don’t even know where you are going! How can we know the way?"
6"I am the way, the truth, and the life!" Jesus answered. "Without me, no one can go to the Father. 7If you had known me, you would have known the Father. But from now on, you do know him, and you have seen him."
8Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father. That is all we need."
9Jesus replied:
Philip, I have been with you for a long time. Don’t you know who I am? If you have seen me, you have seen the Father. How can you ask me to show you the Father? 10Don’t you believe that I am one with the Father and that the Father is one with me? What I say isn’t said on my own. The Father who lives in me does these things.
11Have faith in me when I say that the Father is one with me and that I am one with the Father. Or else have faith in me simply because of the things I do. 12I tell you for certain that if you have faith in me, you will do the same things that I am doing. You will do even greater things, now that I am going back to the Father. 13Ask me, and I will do whatever you ask. This way the Son will bring honor to the Father. 14I will do whatever you ask me to do.
The Holy Spirit Is Promised
15Jesus said to his disciples:
If you love me, you will do as I command. 16Then I will ask the Father to send you the Holy Spirit who will help [b] you and always be with you. 17The Spirit will show you what is true. The people of this world cannot accept the Spirit, because they don’t see or know him. But you know the Spirit, who is with you and will keep on living in you. 18I won’t leave you like orphans. I will come back to you. 19In a little while the people of this world won’t be able to see me, but you will see me. And because I live, you will live. 20Then you will know that I am one with the Father. You will know that you are one with me, and I am one with you. 21If you love me, you will do what I have said, and my Father will love you. I will also love you and show you what I am like.

If you do have a mental health issue, marijuana will only make it worse so stop the marijuana. A dissociative disorder is very very rare. Nobody has all these disorders at the same time, there are overlaps and you can have 2-3 but I haven’t seen patients who have had more. You should be evaluated by a professional

I’m assuming you are getting professional help? Please say you are getting professional help. If you are not getting professional help, I would suggest that you get some professional help.
