Bad trip on weed still feel down 6 weeks after

So Im a 18 year old lad from Holland. About 8 weeks ago I smoked a joint with my friends. After I felt derealization for a few days. After a week I think I was ready to smoke again. So I smoked a blunt with my friends. I ended up in a bad trip. Hard was pounding and I literally thought I was gonna die. The next day I woke up I felt very negative and down. This kept going and I was searching on the internet about similar stories. I read somewhere that I could have psychosis, so I got extremely anxious. I started to feel depressed and extremely derealized and anxious. Now 6 weeks later I still have extreme anxiety, and I sometimes think I am not on this world or that im dreaming and that I suffer from extreme paranoia. I am really desperate. Does anyone recognize this and how can It go away? Please respond and thanks for listening.

    I agree with xxLucifer: weed wouldn't still be affecting you that long after smoking it.

    It sound to me as if it's triggered an already existing condition you didn't realise you had and there is some evidence it can do this with some young people.

    Please see your doctor!

    Being paranoid and experiencing panic/anxiety attacks or feeling like everything is going to end, experiencing you're somewhere else is hella common while smoking weed.

    I have had trips and a bad trip too.
    The one time when I had a bad trip i experienced majority of what you have described above.
    See all this happens when you smoked in large quantity. And with large quantity I mean more than your body can handle.

    I experienced dizziness for 2 whole days after my bad trip. Worst feeling ever tbh

    I smoked again a week after but half the doze I smoked last time. This time it was the best feeling ever.

    When I described my bad trip to people they told me weed was laced n all but then I smoked the same lot a week after but nothing happened it was actually pleasant

    But 6 weeks is a long time if you still dont feel good see a doc.. its also possible that all the giddy feeling is all inside your head you are constantly thinking about it which is making it worse

    It could have been laced but if the people you smoked with are fine af then you know where the prob is.

    Keep in mind that bad trips often lead people to quit smoking pot. Whatever you're experience is the reason why.
    Take a chill pill you are alright but if you really think there might be something meet up with a doc

    Effects of weed don't actually last that long. So in my opinion it's not the weed causing it. You should go to the doctor so you can get a diagnoses and hopefully get treatment.

    I agree with one of the commenters. You are probably smoking too much for your system and brain to handle. Try smoking a little less. I know with me it takes a couple of minutes to feel the full affect. Maybe you think your not getting high because it's not kicked in yet so you take another hit and end up with the problems described. Conclusion- simply try smoking less.

    Dude I had the exact same thing. It's a panic attack (ye I know, they feel fucking horrible.) I wouldn't worry about psychosis or schizophrenia or any of that shit, I also wouldn't smoke weed again, or if you do then smoke it very rarely.

    Weed has a bad habit of triggering certain mental conditions. It may be just a phase in your brain. But it may be something that would have happened anyway, but the pot made it start up. Stay clean for at least a month. Do your best to do normal things if you can. Talk to a doctor about it.

    It may be that pot does bad things to you. It's rare but can happen. It may be you've always been on the verge of mental illness and the pot tipped you over the edge. It may be coincidence.

    But definitely don't smoke more until you have a cat with your doc about how you are feeling.

    You probably shouldn't keep smoking weed. Perhaps whatever you smoked was laced with something, but I hope not. Also too much weed can make some people really paranoid and cause panic attacks.
