Is it normal when life after smoking weed feels unreal?

I was a heavy weed smoker for about 6 years, i recently stopped in november due to the bad trips and throwing up i was starting to get after smoking (very wierd) and havent smoked ever since, when i did stop i had a bit of withdrawal including severe panic attacks when i woke up and loss of apetite. im doing much better from that now, but im still confused because ever since i stopped life doesnt look the same to me, im super sensitive to light like my eyes are always squinting . everything always looks so bright or when im indoors gloomy. sometimes i feel worried for no reason (anxiety) i get short of breath and feel like im going to pass out. my eating habits are messed up now im almost never hungry, and my vision shakes from side to side now and then when im on the computer or watching tv.. i dont know if this has to do with stopping but i just wanted to know if anyone ever experienced this or knows if its supposed to happen

    Your situation sounds almost identical to mine but I know i also have real bad anxiety. Lights seem way more intense.

    Your pot was laced with something. Find out what and see a Dr & an addictions councillor

    Go to a therapist. It likely you were / are emotionally dependen on the weed ( It is in fact an emotional addiction aka nothjg in the weed addicts you but you are depedebt on the feeling it gives you ) and you are experiencing withdrawls and life without it is hard

    Are you sure it was just weed because I know heroin addiction can shut down parts of your brains pleasure center making everything feel distant and detatched.

    You might have anxiety completely unrelated to the weed. Go to doc and they give you a prescription that will help with the panic attacks

    i know people after smoking weed feel sometimes like things are unreal.. i've never heard of QUITTING and feeling like that. it should be the opposite, i think.

    Sounds Like your going through td's. It's like a form or withdrawls. And you can develope a alergy to thc which Is probably why you throw up after smoking.
