My dearest friend for the past 25 years became a drug addict. She died of an OD on Saturday. Left two young children with no parents. (Dad left years ago). I witnessed her spiral into addiction and destruction over the past 2 years. I couldn’t stop it. I tried.
If you want to become an addicted to something, please try masturbation or video games.
I’m sorry about your loss ❤️
I'm sorry for your loss. Addiction is terrible.
Honestly though hallucinogens really need to be more mainstream. Acid completely changed my outlook on life and give me a perspective of life and myself I would never have gotten through therapy or any other depression suppressants.
It's also cheap as balls if you find a good plug. 10 bucks for an all day ticket is wild you just have to be with someone you trust with your life who won't fuck with you.
Let's not forget that acid can be dangerous, I'm still recovering from a traumatic experience I had with acid 10 years ago, I still get flashbacks and panic attacks due to it. I also stopped smoking weed because it would trigger the flashbacks.
I also stopped smoking weed because it would trigger the flashbacks.
I had this years ago after a series of bad trips (the common denominator turned out to be the presence of a certain person, then things got better). Anyway, hope you can get through to the other side.
There are people trying pretty hard to make that happen, though mostly in the context of supervised medical interventions.
Which I'm here for - while a lot of people do OK (fantastically even) with less structured psychedelic experiences, many do not. A really bad trip can do a number on you, sometimes for a long while.
I would suggest growing your own mushrooms as the safest way to be sure they aren't tainted, it's pretty easy (the hardest part is keeping things sterile) and you can grow quite a bit at once in a small footprint. In my jurisdiction it's not even illegal so long as you destroy the final product upon maturity.
This seems pretty fucking dark even for a shitpost.
Shit is also quite dark so.....
Mine is green🟢
Vitamin D deficiency is a silent widespread issue for a lot of people. Had a battle with it a few years ago. Was tired no matter how much sleep I got, had negative motivation to do anything. Libido all but disappeared, and finally sought a doctor visit when I started have suicidal thoughts.
Turns out I just needed more sunshine and 50kiU once a week for a month.
Deep down, I know the cure for my depression is cocaine or meth. I just am too depressed to get any of it and I don't think mania suits my vibe.
Edit: MDMA would also likely work, but that drug is almost a literal fast acting antidepressant similar in effect to SSRI's so I think it hits the nail too hard on the head.
i mean psilocybin (administered by a professional and in a safe environment) is actually documented to work for some people, so maybe hold out for that instead of drugs that may well be 50% drain cleaner depending on where you get it?
MDMA is also documented to be very effective in curing depression, but as you said, its not as easy to tell if they used other stuff to mix it into the MDMA
Its what literally changed my life. I was really socialy awkward, spend most of my lide behind a computer, and when I managed to go out to parties in a subculture scene parties I loved, I couldnt talk to anyone, had a few beers awkwardly in a corner and went home.
Then I met someone who introduced me to MDMA. That happened almost 8 years ago, and now I am an organizer of 2/3 of the same scene regular parties in our city, Im helping and DJing on a festival that happens here, and am living my best life in that regard. All thanks to that one best friend who got me something that made me talk to, and get to actually know people in the scene in the extent that I always wanted, and get comfortable enough that I no longer need to be high to interact with anyone. Since now they are friends and regulars, and not random people I wanted to talk to, but was afraid of approaching.
But, it wasn't as easy as it sounds. I was always trying to be responsible and cautious, and In did get bordeline to addiction in the process, which I was fortunately able to recognize early and put a stop to it by getting help in a adictiology nonprofit. It was never bad, more like a precaution. And I caught it in the best possible moment. I'll never forget my first group session, where literally everyone else said "I'm 35+, I used to take stuff at parties for fun when I was 25, and then I ended for 10 years in meth...".
Everyone had similar story. And I went "Well, I'm 25, and I take stuff on parties for fun...". And that was a really strong lesson, where I realized I'm stopping a really huge problem at exactly the right time.
So, it might help. It is definitely fun, but it is so hard to not end up badly. You will need a lot of luck, especially if you are exploring it on your own. I still take things on parties, but with personal experience about the dangers it has. And getting that, is something that no one can give you, unless you see it for yourself. And for most of the people, that comes too late. I was lucky, you probably won't be. But in conclusion - drugs are amazing, and have changed my life. Its a shame that personal experience will probably vary.
For anxiety cases like yours, something that is very seritonigernic (which MDMA is) is very helpful. For unipolar depression without anxiety it may be just a nice manic episode. For type 1 bipolar depression, it might be a nice way to get yourself involuntarily committed, arrested, or, if you're really having a good time, both.
There are amphetamine antidepressants. You can ask your doctor about it (e.g. bupropion, which is not addictive).
Brother I've been on bupropion and I loved it. Hypomania is a blast, though maybe not for someone taking to me due to pressured speech. The tachycardia and tremors though, was a bit much for me.
Don't be a weakling and take MDMA to cure it. Real men learn how to live with your depression /s
Hey I'm not an addict. I can stop having a good time whenever I want.
drunk driving ♥️🥰😍🥰💕
Have you tried generating ai porn. That's pretty fun
bro please i promise its not addictive if you boof it please bro this is a different strain
One must be always drunk, that's all that matters.
But what with?
With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you choose.
But get drunk.
Those will just make you depressed in other ways
Sounds expensive lol
Depends on the drug.
Now nothing is fun and nobody trusts to not to steal anything that isn't nailed down.
Randomly read a click bait article the other day on "How famous people died". The older ones were alcohol + drug prescription overdose, while the newer ones were fentanyl + cocaine + alcohol.
Remember people, stay hydrated! Drink your drugs with water like you're meant to!
sounds like an expensive hobby
Because some people think that getting high as a kite is a suitable way to not be depressed.
Alcohol is a depressant my man.
Neurologically speaking, so in a different context, yeah, but neurological depression also seems to lead to actual depression, the mood disorder, which also show up as neurological depression.
We really need better imaging tools to measure neurotransmitter activity, would make for several advancements I'd say
Alcohol is a depressant ?
I've heard that drugs, including alcohol, trigger the chemicals in our brains that make us feel "happy". After the effects wear off, our natural "happiness" level is even lower than it was before. This is why we feel the need to use the drug again, and over time, we also have to take more of it to feel the same level of "happiness".
if you think drug euphorias are high.
Just wait until you find out what the lows are like.
I was talking about how hard it was for me to cut 5 pounds for my fight. This one guy told me I should take up meth to make weight. Genuinely look at him with utter confusion.
Had a lady demand I hire more meth addicted as ''they work really hard for nothing''
I declined her business advice.
He's right. They used to put meth in chocolate and marketed it as a great way for housewives to lose weight while keeping their home tidy.
Anhedonia is horrifying if you think about it.
Everything is less fun since I got clean.
Alcohol will just make you more depressed eventually. Haven't tried fentany.... yetl, will slam one iv style and report back
