I had a bad experience about 5 months ago, from what I thought was a CBD gummy, and it turned out to have a high amount of THC. I had the worst panic attack while high, and it triggered DP/DR. I've gotten much better with accepting it and allowing it to be here, but every now and then I have really intense episodes that remind me of when I was high and it's extremely hard to cope. I've formed this phobia about eating food I haven't prepared myself. I can buy a candy bar from the store and convince myself that someone put something in it when it was made. I'll challenge my thoughts by eating it anyway and then have a panic attack while waiting for the "drug" to kick in. Then I end up telling myself I'm not actually having a panic attack, it's a drug making me feel what I'm feeling. It's a terrible way of thinking, and I'm so tired of living in fear. I really need advice on how to stop my thought process and to stop being afraid of something I know won't happen. It doesn't help that I feel so disconnected from reality almost always. Please, I need some words of encouragement and reassurance that I'm not and won't go crazy.

I don't have any advice about eating food made by others but in my experience with DP/DR, I try to find one specific person to bring me back to reality and help me feel connected. All they do is talk to me and try to help me feel something. It doesn't work all of the time but I can usually feel a little more like myself and connected to the world.

One of the replies suggests that what you're experiencing sounds like dissociation (derealization/depersonalization) and it's not an uncommon reaction to some drugs. It will often subside on its own, but a therapist can help a lot. Another reply suggests that the THC might have exacerbated your anxiety symptoms and recommends seeing a psychiatrist about these feelings.
