hey folks.

im ben. im a long time polydrug user. my gateway drug was zoloft and then effexor as a teen. i figured my parents and doctors put me on mind/mood altering drugs that didnt work so i started to try my own route. smoking pot helps. xanax helps me stay calm (i have BPD). opiates are my #1. i IV d on the reg.

recently been taking dones to get through the tough ecnomic times (prices doubled since i have been back on tour. lots of people got locked up or dropped out. quality is down the shiter too) "what tour?" you may be asking yourself. well, i play and sing in a punk band call The Transgressions. our songs sound kinda like the queers but gruffer/mixed with off with their heads. they are about being a drugged adled fuck up who cant get life right. you should check us out. http://www.myspace.com/thetransgressionshaveamyspacepage

anyway. im currently living with my folks near madison wi. I rode my moped over 60 miles today. that would be like $13 in car we have but it only cost $5 in gas.

The side effects were pretty bad. Everytime I would tell the doctor they would just push another drug to fix that. I figured I might as well feel high from the medicine too. Until just recently I had my life under control and was doing well with that plan. But things are looking up.

Glad to be here posting. I will try to mind my p's and q's more.
 
hi...welcome to Bluelight. I know all about meds. i am bipolar 1 and have been in therapy for almost 11 years now. when you say (BPD) do you mean bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder. not to be nosy i am just working my way to my PhD. so i can help people like you and me. glad you are here and feel free to ask questions. we are all here to help. glad you found us...see you around.

hey...just checked out your music.nice. i dig it. especially ~Bored "I wanted this day to end,since i woke up this morning". great line. i feel you.

i am a musician also...i had a near fatal car accident in jan 06 and i have a paralyzedly vocal chord. i loved to pick up my ax and just fucking sing. i was good too. performed in the towns i lived in for about 12 years before i lost my voice. i still have my guitars,keyboard and even a flute. but it hurts so much that my voice is gone and i can never sing my songs again :(

sorry-kind of a downer. but i dig your music. Bonnaroo still has 10 spots open for artist. you should check into it. this is the 10 yr anniversary of Roo and my 6th time. it's a fucking free for all and there is all kinds of music.

here is the link...keep in touch. seems like we have a lot in common. word.

i mean borderline personality disorder. i was misdiagnosed as bipolar though cause my doc was in a pharm companies pocket.

im glad you like my tunes. i have been finding people who dont necessarily listen to a ton of punk music (i dont know if you do or not, justa general statement) are liking our shit cause of the content. so its a good thing we are tolerable and familiar sounding (which is a nice way of saying we sound like the ramones or the queers). i was hoping to find some fans on here since i sing about drugs a lot.

at least you can still play guitar though! my worst fear is to lose a hand or some of the more important digits and not be able to play guitar or even bass. did you lose your voice completely or can you still sing a bit but its just not the same? maybe you could find a work around sound and play really dark country or something. i dont know. im stoned. 4/20! not that it matters. i smoke a lot all the time haha

isnt bonnaroo mostly jam bands n stuff? i saw ben and jerry's has a bonnaroo flavor that sounds really good.. almost got it last night but went with red velvet cake instead! yum
