im sure some people will probably pick this up the wrong way but has anyone ever ruined there buzz by totally over anylysing theyre trip? i dont really get this problem as i just tend to forget about every thing and melt away, but i was at a party a while back with some ppl who were relatively new to taking mdma and they seemed to just constantly be thinking and talking about things like, how much did i take? what time is it? when should i expect to come down etc and it seemed like they were kind of putting a dampner on the buzz they could have been having... dont get me wrong harm reduction is a great thing and its good to know what ur doing but i remember when i started taking md etc, we wudnt even dream of even thinking aboutz comedowns etc while we were buzzing lol
 
yea i find i have the best nights when i forget iv even taken anything lol. i dont see the point in redosing anymore these days either but thats just my preference now..
 
Honestly this happens to me now when I roll when I never used to do it. I've been doing this for like 5 years now and I used to just enjoy the pills. Now I feel myself staring at my watch wondering when I'll come up, trying to perfectly plan out when to pop to be the most high when the performer comes on... Really lame shit :(
 
The only time I look at my watch is to time how long ago I took my Molly so I know in just about how much time I should be feeling the come up.

Other than that, I usually don't care about when I'll be coming down. If anything I'm hoping it's really early so that I DON'T start coming down soon.

But most of the time I'm too high to care about anything other than peace, love, happiness and music... oh right, and being horny. :)
 
yea i know wat u mean chitown i used to try take em an hour or so before the act i wanted to see but majority of the time i get far too fucked out of my mind well before watever act i want to see and cant remember it or dont make it lmao... iv seen the chemical brothers 3 times now but can only actually remember about 5 minutes of one of their sets lol.

im pretty much the same mac... lol at ur location hahaha
 
Thinking too much about your roll is the easiest way to lose the magic IMO. Even if you're not rolling as hard as you would like to, the best thing to do is to make the most of what you have and try and enjoy yourself.

There will always be more opportunities to roll.
 
my friend tried it for the first time at the weekend there and after being sick a couple times, a few minutes later he wouldnt shut up saying things like "lads seriously, i didnt feel like this 2 mins ago!" or "why am i soo fucked?!" another mate started freakin him out which didnt help! he told him to make sure all the cushins' zips were closed tight so the little men didnt escape and then he started going ape shit, hiding all the ornaments and pillows lol.
 
I never do this.
im the guy who does the opposite at a rave and am staring at my brain with my mouth wide open for an hour or so
 
I have done this several times. I can get SO wrapped up in whether or not I'm rolling hard, or how long I've ben rolling, and worrying about how soon it'll end, that I screw up the whole roll.

The key is just letting go and getting absorbed in the moment. Its the moment... every. single. one. that if you live it, love it and feel it to the full - will make your roll the best.

I have to mentally prep myself to just relax and enjoy. I tell myself, "NO THINKING ALLOWED!"
 
i tend to do this aswel, more so to over think of things to do when ur rollin but then when ur wrote off u forget everything u planned to do

I can see how this could happen if you are losing the magic. But if the people are relatively new to mdma and are wondering when they will come down... they probably didnt take enough imo.

Definitely the first few times should be all about the magic. I know I was running around repeating to myself 'this shit is amazing... why did nobody tell me that this can be done?'.

Just let them take a little more - it's a little bit against the harm reduction, but damn you should at least have the full effect of it.
 
yeah, i use to do this in my begining days of mdma, i do tend to agree like others have said, i think its just a case of people not wanting the buzz to end.... therefor re-dosing, and then chaging the thought too, ohh shit.... how much have i had now. then further on and further on.....

now i take it, and let it live me i think one thing that works for me, mark out how much ill need, make up the doses. and that way i wont have, how much have i had?? what was that?? etc, etc..
 
[When I finished typing the following, it came to my attention that this is quite a bit of analyzing my over-analyzing. Oops.]

Wooh, so I'm not the only one. About 1,5 years ago I started a thread about over-analyzing the whole thing, also by reading on these forums so much and learning more and more about the drug.

The last few 2 times it diminished my roll quite a bit I must say. The hole preparing the set, setting for a home roll, trying to make it as perfect as I could. Seeing how time flies and thinking I still want to have so much fun in so short time. Thinking the roll will probably not last 4,5 hours, but 4 for sure. Wondering if my gf will have a big delay in come-up again. Wondering if I should have not let others talk me out of taking my planned dosage. Caring to much for other people that are around me 'are you ok, having a good time? Want some water?' Etc.

Maybe I can add some more to that list, but it is everything I 'plan' not to do before I drop. Still it seems to happen. The stupid thing is that afterwards I think that 'it happened again'. I then think it keeps on happening, which acts as a self fulfilling prophecy for the next time.

I know this is all in my head, and this is just me: I tend to (over-)analyse everything throughout every normal day. Furthermore I normally keep like 4 months, or more, in between rolls, so it should not be something physical indeed.

Only 3 times did I not worry about any of this: the first and second time, and once when I 'accidentally' dosed way high. All was very good though, with the added bonus that I forgot to think about anything, thoughts just came to me from 'nowhere' and I could just drift away on the great feeling. Must have been the best I ever felt.

So, for the people who also tend to over-analyse: how do you deal with it in order to still have a good time? I wonder if I should take a high dose at home again sometime, to have a great time, and to be assured that I can still enjoy the drug the way I want to. [If you actually read the whole thing: great job ;-).]
