Panicking after edible on friday evening - still don’t feel like myself

AskTrees

I hope someone with a similar experience might be able to share some insight and calm me a little bit. I had an edible from a coffee shop in the Netherlands with unknown strength on friday evening around 8 pm. After about two hours I was high as fuck. I do not consume regularly and have had unpleasant experiences in the past but I wanted to try it again - I know now, very stupid idea. I had the worst trip of my life. I thought I was dying. My boyfriend was with me the whole time but he couldn’t calm me down. I begged for an ambulance. I couldn’t move my limbs and tried to crawl towards my phone. He told me I needed to lie down and relax. I tried my best but kept panicking again and again, almost fainting a couple of times. I threw up at one point because I was so nauseous. Eventually it finally got better and we went to sleep. I woke up yesterday feeling very very odd. I find it hard to describe but based on my research depersonalisation might be it. It has not changed since then. I feel like there is a wall between me and my body. When I want to say something words come out but it doesn’t feel like my own voice. I feel like I’m constantly trying to catch up to reality and what is happening around me. I am so so scared that this is permanent. I keep spiralling and I cannot seem to calm myself down. I’m so afraid that I will never feel normal and like myself again. I also keep re-living the events of friday night. Can anyone please share their story of similar experiences and what helped you through it?
