Yeah does seem odd, the stuff has ruined me many times... heart palps, anxious, depressed, lethargic, cardiovasular stuff, at working with the only thing on my mind "fuck all this, whats the point, walk out go home curl up in bed" kinda stuff, heavy. but i struggle on through then after a couple days i feel alright, the weekend arrives and there i am, getting drunk and hoofing meph, having the best time of my life feeling amazing, jaw flying, chatting, dancing, eyes wide, feeling the music. incredible. then repeat. although i havent gotten on it for ages now, eventually broke the cycle
speaking of afterglows, to start off with i felt amazing for days after, knowing id had such a good weekend etc no negative effects. until after a month or so, i did it friday and saturday night, then sunday i was rough-ish, then monday i felt so heavy like i had the flu, felt so fucked, at work thinking wtf is going on why am i feeling like this... then i thought "ahh this must be what a comedown is like... etc. then 3 years later i stopped my weekend sessions
