My mom HATES that I smoke it.. We were watching a documentary about a suicide related to schizophrenia and there was video of the guy smoking weed and my mom said "Did you realize how I zeroed in on that?" - Because weed wasn't mentioned in the documentary.

The reason I smoke it.. or really, do anything like this - Is cuz of objective paranoia.. the government is not to be trust/psychiatry trusted less too..

The derealization is mild - But can cause problems with me complaining to my family (And they don't really know what the hell I'm talking about)..

I try SP.. I don't want to deal with this stuff - But I'm consumed. The conspiracies and lateral thinking... finding connections.. magical thinking.. coincidences and synchronicities. I need to save myself, know about dangers. Idk. I'll try to ease on everything and relax.

I'm going to Mexico for holiday soon - My dad will come to visit. There's things to look forward too - The pandemic etc.. made everyones mental health worse. So people look at my mental health and say "It's not that bad" when before the pandemic, I could have been hospitalized.

My focus is very good - It's just my concentration.. And I'm so much more aware now - It's just too much information about life, quotes, cliches, meanings, advise, rules, responsibilities, realization of consequences - I'm better than before and during that time when I was bad, I was neglected. So it's different now.. I'm doing better but everyone is on me, making it seem worse. So I learn about what it takes to concentrate, find meaning in life, enjoy myself. My focus was bad since I was born. Very bad.

The basement was a bad time. I want to prevent anything like that ever happening again lol..

I sleep 10-12 hours a night as well - Fully. I don't really wake up in the middle of the night (Just to drink some water).

Yeah my pdoc said weed is terrible for this, but I’ve never gotten anywhere near trying it and I still have this garbage. It won’t help your paranoia though, you need the AP for that. You might be at a balance point for you given the amount you’re sleeping now is about as good as it gets. I still say cbt could help you…it changes the way that you frame things.

I’m still kinda negative but often can reframe to a slightly more positive view.
