this is my first ever thread. i was a normal and curious teen. I wasn't afraid of any dangerous situations and i used to enjoy every type of high that were to me available without any trouble. I used to smoke weed and drink alcohol regularly, do xtc atleast twice in two months,used to love psychedelics(shrooms,lsd mainly). A year ago me and few of my friends threw a rave party at distant place from the city i live in.we had it booked for a couple of days. one of my friends didnt wanted to come but since we were close so i insisted on him to come so he came along we previously partied alot there so we knew the place quite well as we arrived there we popped and started rolling everything went smooth we danced all night it was amazing although my friends were being a little dick to me during the rave since we had a disagreement over a small issue about money but that didn't bother me at all since i was enjoying like anything and didnt gave a shit at that time. we have been taking xtc for along time so we knew the pill we ate was something else but not mdma since it had no euproia but made us move and we were still moving after 14 hours with a single pill It was my 3rd consecutive night without sleep but i had no problems. as we were done for the first day so we gathered around and started smoking weed and discussed about how amazing the previous night was and stayed up for the whole next day waiting for the sun to set so we can roll again. As it got dark one of my older friend who was close to me who has been doing everykind of drug since 13 14 years suddenly lost his mind and since we were close i didnt want other friends to know about his situation i took him outside to asked him what has happened to him he told me that he was hallucinating and there were people after him and other fucked up stuff like that basically he was being delusional and paranoid after listening to him i got worried about him and panicked as this was my first time experiencing this type of a situation so when my other friends came and started asking me about what was happening i lost my mind too and started fighting with them i was so angry that i wanted to crack one of my friends skull open but i controlled it somehow and took my delusional friend back to the city leaving the other friends behind. the next day my friends sister called me and told me that her brother was not fine since i know the guy and we have have along history of doing drugs together i thought he might be messing with me but when i talked to my friend he started blaming me for whatever has happened to him that night and threatened me and carried on so doing for a month so i totally finished any type of contact with him and also apologized to my other friends for leaving them. after all this i felt really paranoid and had severe anxiety and couldn't trust anyone and whatever slightest of wrong i had done in the past was coming back haunting me i lost all the confidence i had in myself. for the next 6 months i didnt leave my home and all i did was stay in my room because of paranoia and fear i even my failed my final highschool exams. but as after getting some confidence back without any medication or help i joined a gym, ate healthy didnt do any kind of drugs for six month since weed was making me extremely paranoid and i was afraid to try anything else and recovered nicely(at least that was what i thought).it has been a year since that happened but as soon i i think of doing any kind of drugs it all comes back comes back and i get paranoid and i lock myself in my room in my mind im scared of everything and i cannot trust other people and it puts me back in the same state of mind in which i was after that horrific night. I just want my old self back so i can enjoy my life as i used to so i would appreciate any kind of advice since i dont know what the hell has happened to me and i dont know how handle it anymore as its making me question my existence
