thanks for all the advice, guys. i agree, if i felt dark and dead on DXM, i really do have some reservation about other psychedelics.
hmm. your comments are already making me wonder about my true motive behind taking them.
it even sounds to me like a justification to get fucked up. but i don't have so much as an herbal refreshment to keep me sane at the moment, and i feel so self-destructive as it is.
i don't know. i'm def self-aware that i'm in a really vulnerable place, but i'm also don't feel ready or willing to deal with a drug issue....
probably again rooting back to my justification that i am not a HEAVY drug user whatsoever. however, i'm very impulsive and reckless in my drug use at times, and the pressure is feeling worse. i push a lot of boundaries.
it's all about a lack of power or control or identity for me. and a lot of anger. psychedelics may not be a great idea, but i can't keep robotripping. i explore these forums for both confirmation that there is usefulness to drug use, and to face the harsh realities of using them.
since i started using drugs i have felt so many issues pop up out of dormancy, and i wonder if they should stay buried until i have a ""professional"" to help me through them, or if i should hold onto whatever emerges for dear life before i go back to being... i don't know. actually, thinking about it, i feel like i am losing a little bit of my soul and getting harder everytime i do have insights while rolling or tripping. i experience what haunts me and face some demons, and sometimes, for a bit, it feels more refreshing than thrashing around like i have been most of my life, never feeling like i have a grip on myself. it doesn't really make sense. it's like i want control, but i enjoy the loss of inhibitions and my grip on reality- because reality for me is a numb, apathetic place where i can't see my demons face to face.
it's all a vicious cycle- i am self-aware, i just have a lot of self-loathing. i'm concerned for myself too, but i take your guidance to heart. thank you.
and yes surf- the risks seem to outweigh the benefits at this point most likely.
el super- by the time i'm clear minded enough to try lsd, maybe you'll be certified to use it for intensive, structured treatment ha.
