i was diagnosed with schizophrenia and and deep depression 4 yrs ago and for the first two years my life was hell i was that depressed that i tried killing myself more than once, than i discovered the joy of xtc for once in my misserable life i was happy and i drop pills every weekend and as a result i have stopped taking my anti depressants because xtc is helping me more than they ever did.
xabalba - please be careful, I'm so happy for you that ecstacy has helped you out of a dark place but rolling every weekend could mess you up in the long-term. I hope you've addressed whatever it was that made you so depressed in the first place. Depression unfortunately has a high relapse rate (trust me I know personally) and taking pills so often may not help those odds. Sorry to be a downer but just be safe with it.
For me, ecstacy allowed me to become very close with the friend I did it with the for first time. We were good friends before then but since have shared so much and I know that I have a friend that I can really trust and cares for me. Prior to this I always found it difficult to open up to people but since this I find it so much easier and feel I am a better friend to all my friends.
When I'm on ecstacy I can look at things without fear or cynicism and with more openess. I can still hold onto this feeling when I'm straight now and it's really changed me and how I look at life. I'm so much more positive now and don't let things get me down the way they used to, sounds cheesy I know but it really has changed my life for the better.
