It's offical every male (and quite a few females too) I know of approximately the same age has done a class A rec' drug. This Sunday, a group of uni' friends are going to a happy hardcore rave to take ecstasy. They plane to do about 2-3 each. Many have done them before, and speak of how it's the best thing ever. I, of ocurse, am not going. I must confess, that after hearing everyone bang on about it for so bloody long, I was almost tempted todo it myself. It's such a farsical situation for me, that I might just humour fate by taking some e's. It makes about as much sense as anything else in my life right now.
Well of course I'm not going to take ecstasy. But the situation remains the same: I CAN NOT TELL ANYONE ABOUT MY CONDITION, THEY WILL NOT UNDERSTAND, IT'S POINTLESS. I do in fact feel like a p*ssy. I do, honestly. Most people find validation in suffering. You are brave if you've lost a close relative or friend, had a serious physical illness, fought in a war etc. But thid bloody disorder is simply absurd. There's nothing that can be learned from it, no sense of pride in being so brave, nothing at all. Except feeling stupid cos' you're the only one who can't do e's, and you can't even justify why you can't do them.
I mean seriously, I feel boring for not doing drugs. I must seem so boring for not doing drugs. At my age, in the university social climate, drugs are everything, they really are. If you don't do drugs, then you are a nobody. Of course my close friends, even though ignorant of my dp, are mature enough to see beyond this, and fortunately they're not into drugs that much themselves. Having spent a lot of time outside of educational institutes; gap year, travelling, working full time, I can see how stupid this all is. But it still p*sses me off.

Old geezer that I am, this really troubles me. When I went to University, I don't know, the folks I hung around with either didn't do drugs or tried them once and said that was enough. On the other hand we didn't have Ecstasy I guess, but there were a host of other drugs that could be tried.

Mainly people got drunk or smoked pot.

I don't know, sometimes it's the company you keep. Also, it seems some schools are known more as "party schools". What scares me is that this insanity is more and more accepted. I have no clue what it would be like to go back to my same Uni now. I graduated in 1983.

You shouldn't feel rotten for keeping your brain intact, LOL. I can't believe how young people fry their brains. If I were a parent these days, I'd have a fit. Don't know what I'd do.

This came up I think in another topic. Say you get horrible migraines from drugs, or have a heart murmur or something that could go bad.

As you say you have close friends who understand. It seems those are the folks you should be hanging with.

Also, I don't know what it feels like to take a rec drug save alcohol. But even if I were DP free, etc. I don't know that I would try this stuff, or would have in uni. I don't think I would.

You shouldn't apologize for not partaking. And there are plenty of other explanations, brief ones, you can give to avoid this stuff.

I remember when I first left home and had a guy roommate who smoked pot endlessly it seems, LOL, I would end up sitting around at pot parties. Everyone there acted like idiots. I was bored to tears.

I'm not being judgemental. ACH, maybe I'm an old geezer afterall.

And having DP so young, I just couldn't understand why anyone would want to mess with their perceptions. Also, it never made sense that it would be enjoyable to drink until you vomit.

Sigh.
Just be yourself Axel. Don't beat yourself up.

X was kinda starting to go out of style when I was doing it. It was more seen as the drug that stupid teenagers did. Because it didn't have that name that pot or acid did for "expanding your mind". It was seen as something that was dangerous and stupid. You know what's funny? When I did a bunch of drugs, I sometimes found myself envying the people that didn't do drugs at college. Because the ones that did were kind of the bummy crowd. Then when I stopped doing drugs, I wished I could do them. The grass is always greener.. Axel, don't do anything you know is harmful to you just so you can fit in. I know college is hard when it comes to these things. In my town, all people do is get drunk. And I can't even drink now. And it took a very long time to adjust. I'm still adjusting. Like graduation next week, everyone will be celebrating by getting drunk. But how am I supposed to celebrate? I know how much it sucks. But we'll get by. :roll:

i've been thinking about that to. of trying to smoke pot again sometime to see if it would make me feel good at all. i want something to make me feel good cuz nothing is. x can kill though so i don't know. plus, it only lasts a few hours of pleasure, but it depletes all your serontonin, all i know is i haven't felt good in months and i am seriously thinking about trying something. or just alcohol would make me feel a little better.

i seriously doubt if i would feel it if i were drunk though. i don't know what to do anymore. i just want to feel good again and if its not going to happen on its own as time goes by i don't know how its going to happen then.

it works for what you want it to work for...it will be a good ole time...it may have good or bad results...but it's just a moment like anything else.

i'm NOT recommending anything.

I personally did a LOT of drugs in my DP career, ecstacy was my favorite and it was a lot of fun a lot of the time. but it certainly didn't have much to reveal to me. It just felt good.

i don't have any drug regrets.

i had good and bad times on the drugs.

they weren't the be all end all.

sometimes i just needed an escape.
