hey, i know this is totally stupid and irresponsible, and i'm not saying i am going to do this ever, because dp is seriously the worst thing ever...but... when i recover, and my mind devlops as i grow up, in a few years time, if i were to try magic mushrooms or something, and i didnt have a bad trip, do you think it would set off my DP again, and how would it do that? and if i did get dp again, would it take a shorter time to recover from it as i think its the fear of not recovering that makes me stay dp'd (and also the thinking about it?)

I know drugs are stupid, its how i got into this dp'ing mess, but i'm just gernerally interested as doesnt it also have to be set off by some nner trauma thing lurking, as i know that happened to me also, so if ididnt have an innter trauma as such, would i be less at risk to get it?

anyway just some random thoughts!!
thanks,
El

ummm, El....

Quit thinking. :?

Just say NO.

That's just my random way of thinking.

You couldn't pay me to push my luck on an off chance it'd be okay.

You have a good mind that is obviously good at rationalisation, even in this off beat manner. Use it for thinking positive stuff about how not to get in to this dp'ing thing again.

I know it's just a thought, but I think you might be thinking about giving this thought a little creedance when you get to feeling better.

Totally stupid and irresponsible...you called it right at the beginning. :wink:

Best to you,
terri

I may come across as ignorant, but I also have similar thoughts. Drugs were a massive part of my life before DP, and I keep pondering what life will be like after DP. I still drink alcohol and take codeine every now and then. Even after my DP has eventually diminished I think I'll limit myself to the aforementioned; it just isn't worth risking it with psychedelics anymore.

However, if at one point after your recovery you should decide to take mushrooms, I suggest you limit yourself to a small dose, and for God's sake have someone you trust to look over you.

It's a difficult subject to appraise: on the one hand, I've heard reports of people taking hallucinogenic drugs after DP and not regressing, however, I have also heard reports that the opposite. But like terri* said, why risk it? You're better off without them.

I hear what your saying, that its not worth all this crap we are going through right now, but i'm worried that once i get through this DP crap, that, like nearly all recovered people, i won't be able to understand what the DP was like, and i will be tempted to go out and do shrooms again. It was the weed that put me in the situation, and i'm staying away from that forever, and i no that sounds really stupid that i may be more likely to do shrooms then weed, but i'm just trying to argue it through within my brain at the moment.
Is there anymore reason that DP would be caused by weed then shrooms? i know thats a very specific question, but i am just interested to know!
Thanks again guys

I really wanted to try shrooms when I thought I was invincible.
BUT DON'T DO IT.
Yeah..

[livinginhell333]

yea weed has taken 11 months out of my life so far. almost a year. a year of being gone, lost, not here, the year of hell, i don't want this to continue and have many years lost in my life. i want to live life like everyone else. i ask god to be like everyone else all the time. is that so much to ask for?

Confuscious say; if you've burnt your hand in a fire, would you do it again to check that it still hurts?

 

[Homeskooled]

Haha....nice one Martin. Reminds me of an old Chris Farley skit on Saturday Night live. You get that in the UK? It would be ironic.

WOW...now there's an Idea that truely deserves a good "whack on the head"! Sorry for the bluntness, but isn't having DP bad enough?? That's like a blind person saying..."hey, when I am able to see again maybe I'll poke my eyes out"!
