I hardly knew what anxiety or depression was before I started using drugs. What do you feel you get from them, because you don't seem to enjoy most of the trips I see you writing about?
I say the same, but then you have to remember that if you were like me that's from 14 years old onwards (At 16 every drug had basically been chased and ate/sniffed). I have the same problem as Mugz although not to the extent were I would get a day off work. I think drugs at that age can expose you to more emotions than you may have already felt, but I can't confirm that as that's only upon reflection and nothing I noticed at the time.
Breaks didn't really help my anxiety but I never took one longer than a month and they were poorly done, head was a mess and an attempt at my own valium script (some of you may remember me asking) did not help, one of the main triggers for it for me is boredom or being alone. So keeping yourself occupied (exercise - the big one, and a few of my hobbies) along with being out with friends is what can get my anxiety to the point were I can forget about it for a day or two. But to be honest the problem (according to the doctor, I've no complaints) is that when I'm with friends some form of drug is going to come out so I can't find out if it's the case but off the top of my head now I'm a lot more happy in a pattern of drug use than with none but you never know in the long run.. My 'panic' attacks are a lot more mental though, I used to get the physical side of them, being caught in fear sort of thing but exercise has helped that because it's made me more confident. I abbreviated panic because I'm not sure if they are panic attacks, anxiety attacks yes but I can still function quite well. I just have that feeling of complete dread, something is wrong, weird feeling in your chest and just feeling low.
My only worry is that drug use will add to it, but it doesn't seem to. I've had a complete fuckup on stimulants before (butylone/mephedrone/few others) and ended up having a proper panic attack while in what I could only describe as stimulant psychosis (was literally on the floor, in fear unable to move, hearing people speak that weren't etc for hours). I think that made my anxiety heighten temporarily along with one particular time on LSD, but nothing permanent. I do tend to feel a lot worse on Tuesdays though (even if I wasn't bashing pills at the weekend) and it's my one day designated as 'sober' day.
Mugz you seem to be in a lot worse boat than me and what I have is shit enough as it is. Much love

and hope it sorts itself out. One thing I always say to people and I swear by it from experience is that routine (to an extent doesn't mean go get up, get a job, go home, sleep, etc) just even a bit of a sleep schedule can really work wonders to those who are feeling off and need to so you've the right idea. Stay away from random RC stims!
