what is wrong with my mind.
I used to smoked weed for like half a year yet i do not think it was that much. I have depersonaliosation/derealization, i also at times get anxiety attacks and depression led to it as well. My sleeping schedule is off, i think i'm going crazy. My mother and my sister were in the kitchen while i was in the bathroom and i thought i heard my sis crying loud and i went to them and tapped her and she looked at me...she was fine and i was like "whaaa" ...anyhow, i sometimes understand things in a different way. I also feel useless to this world (have no job) im 17....i also think i see one thing but is not...they aren't serious at all i think. I feel like i often push people away, like a mean side comes out of me but i mean no harm :/ or am i meant to be an asshole?

I definitely think the lack of sleep is having the biggest impact on you. Lack of sleep can lead to experiences of depersonalisation, depression, mood swings, feeling 'out of it', and hallucinations. But sleep deprivation can only cause things like depersonalisation and hallucinations if it is serious and over a long period of time, so how much sleep have you been losing? When you say your sleep schedule is off, do you mean you barely get any sleep, or you have trouble falling asleep on time, and then you wake up late in the day? How many hours are you getting, and how long has it been going on for?
If you haven't been getting enough sleep for a long time, then sleep deprivation might be the biggest cause of your issues. Otherwise, it could be the drugs or another issue (which I'll go through).
You haven't said how long ago you stopped smoking weed, and how much you smoked. If you were addicted (I don't know, you have to be honest with yourself), you could possibly be having withdrawal symptoms (which includes mood swings, sleep disturbances, headaches, cravings, and other stuff). This is probably not likely, as you said you only did it for 6 months and you didn't do a lot, and you haven't had the other withdrawal symptoms. I don't know a lot about the effects of marijuana, because I have never done drugs, so all the info I have on it is from the internet (I got the withdrawal symptoms from this website:

Which might be not so reliable)
You said you have anxiety attacks and experience depression. Both of these things can cause sleep disturbances and mood swings. Some people with depression are snappy and withdraw from people, which could explain why you 'push people away' and have a 'mean side'. But those two things could be from a lack of sleep also. So, like you can see, all these things can add up to make you have the emotional problems you are having, including feeling useless. I just want to say, you shouldn't feel useless for not having a job at 17, you will get one eventually if you keep trying :)
You should already be proud of yourself for quitting weed, because that can cause problems like the ones you are having now. I think the next step should definitely be to see a doctor, and explain everything to him/her. Your problems could be due to sleep deprivation, depression, anxiety, or something related to drugs, or it could be a different mental issue, and you should definitely see a doctor so you can begin feeling better. We can't diagnose you or figure out your problems on this website, you need to see a medical professional who can actually help you, not just give you advice. Good luck :)

I am going to go out on a limb here and say that it is very likely your sleep habits that are are the root of your issues. When you aren't sleeping adequately, not getting enough hours and proper REM, your wakeful self will suffer. Auditory hallucinations, confusion, feeling not all there, etc. can be caused by your sleep, or lack of it. See a neurologist who specializes in sleep issues if possible. Until then, get on a routine, sleep the same number of hours per night and see what happens. If you have trouble falling asleep you can try taking melatonin, it's safe and natural and available over the counter. If you get a good sleep schedule down and you are still having these problems, then try eating healthy, drinking lots of water, exercise, etc. and if all else fails see a psychologist. Best of luck :)

Well for starters your not alone. I never did weed but I do to push people away. Because of weed you may have after affects from when you were doing it drugs can make your moods and emotions towards others change and your actions are different but you're fine. Its probably just side affects from the drugs.
