Yes. I know how it feels to be off balance.
I believe that the "feeling" in your head is depersonalization. MANY describe it as "I cant quite desribe it."
For me, Id like to say that Ive seen the rabbit hole from a distance, but never really went through it.
Still for us, its all mental. I think that this stuff takes time. remember people's brain chemistry changes if theyre depressed/panicy.
If your brain has changed chemistry due to drugs or whatever, then being in a constant state of panic or depression wont help you get any better. I can see trippers of yester decade stuck in a rut of dp/panic and being told only that theyve messed up their brains for good.. when what theyre really suffering from is drug induced dpersonalization and panic and with enough time and conscious effort, theyll be allright (i hope!!)
I talk to a psychologist every now & then and he is very(understatement) experienced with mind bending drugs. He says that although things like lsd and mescaline are not safe, the brain is so plastic that you can change it back (or to however you want it) after a bad trip.
I think the thing we need to keep in mind is that its a mental drug, and a mental situation.
weather our panic/anxiety/dp be caused from drugs or not is actually of not so much value..Drug induced long lasting neuro changes dont help, but what is important is the fact that all of in this room have been pushed to discover more about ourselves, what makes us nervous, how we feel and what we need. The ideal is to live through life and not worry about mental health. For us this is not the case. Life (and drugs for some) have done a wonderful job of offsetting out brains. It is very true in my opinion that people learn much better from pain then pleasure.. this condition (panic/dp) is our pain i guess and we have to learn more about ourselves so we can take control of our brains and not be scared of waking up each day (or evening).
