Hey all, I'm 20 years old.

So basically, i suffer from manic depression, I started to use drugs at 19, (My first thing to try was an ecstasy tablet) I noticed the symptoms and signs of my manic depression at 15.


But what im basically saying is,
(People who follow me around on this forums will Back me up on this one too*COUGH* Folley,) I dont Abuse drugs, i actually just use them.

I use 1 mdma capsule, 150mg usually to have an enhanced experience at a rave, once a month but i like to wait 6 weeks.
I also use ketamine to help me stay awake and to enjoy the music more at raves.
I dont really like going to more than 2 raves a month, but its just a bit of wonky fun.
Ive recently been smoking cannabis too, but im more unproductive, lazy and overall its not a good thing for me so im not doing that anymore.

I got advised on here to do small doses of ketamine every 3 days,
But this makes me manicy and fiend for ketamine,

Whereas, Instead i prefer to do a nice dose, say 200mg once a week,
Sometimes i dont even enjoy slipping into that K-hole, but its when i start to come out of it,
I get that freshness im feeling as im typing now, that afterglow, its beautiful,
4 hours ago before i did ketamine i was thinking of negative thoughts, how pointless my life is, why do i even bother living anymore, etc
Now all i can think of is positive thoughts, how to do constructive things, and just want to generally do well.
For days afterwards, i dont feel those awful downwards mood swings of suicide thoughts, i dont even think them i feel them its like the titanic sinking inside me!, but if ive done my dose of ketamine i feel fine and 'Stable' (Pun not intended Neighh!!!)
So at that note there, I feel guilty i use ketamine every week,
but is it wrong?
Can i please have an opinion from an outside view?

Is it wrong i use ketamine like this?






Short example of mood swing:

(Started using in december , 2010)

October 2010,
At a place i was working at then suddenly get this feeling of Dysphoria, followed by me finding things extra hard to do, i feel worthless, then get told if i carry on doing stuff wrong and too slow im getting the sack, in which my mind responds in an evil image of me jumping in front of the train on the way home, as an end to this miserable life.

Countless examples of this flow through my mind, its not even a thought as i say, its a deep certain feeling i just want to end it.

when i try to use dissociatives to cope with depression, i always end up digging a deeper hole ;) ...but in all seriousness, i really end up in a worse state than before. you have to learn other ways than using drugs to cope with depression/anxiety, or you will never be truly happy with yourself, high or sober.
 
But its not the K-hole, Nor the wonky euphoria that draws me to using it everyweek,
its this 'Airconditioned mind' and clean thoughts that i get afterwards that follows.

I dosed, and up to 2 and half hours after my dose i was still a bit down, But as i came back to reality, it was kind of like being reborn and its fresh and to not look at life so drastically and be more sensible and it gives me a bit more confidence too.

All my confidence is gone in a shot in a manic depressive episode, all i want to do is curl up in a ball and die tbh.

But now, that im on an after glow from ketamine i read that last sentence with utter sickness to my stomach, life is precious...... im amazed my thoughts/feelings are like that at times.
 
we all experience the down-side of life once in a while. yah, it fucking sucks and doing drugs helps cover up emotions and pain, but it doesn't solve much. i've been there before man, all of highschool ( college ) sucked for me and i was depressed most of the time. because i never really had true friends, i turned to drugs. thankfully, i was able to keep my grades up and a major university accepted my application. since then, i still use drugs, but for different reasons.

know this though, things will get better. even though it might seem like one big pile of shit, life definitely has its shinning moments. life is what you make it, and you deserve to be happy

to be honest, this is dark side material; you will get better responses over there.

as a manic depressive/bipolar i will say one thing. B VITAMINS IN HIGH DOSES> as they are used in normal brain function but you may need more as your mind is on oerdrive. worth a try even if it doesn't work. cheap way to feel good. sound
