Personal problems after MDMA (ab)use - What's your story?

[Ratatatat99]

As you may have seen already, many people (including myself) have dabbled into mdma (molly for you americans) abit more than they should have. I see alot of these long term comedown experience across diffferent threads and unless it's been done and i am somewhat blind, i reckon it would be cool to have it in one place.

For me i'd say i suffer from a few things.

- Constant negative thoughts about everything, which is something i never had but i'm working on
- In social situations i just can't sit still, if it's tapping my foot or constantly doing something!
- At one point the whole world seemed surreal from my eyes, like a cartoon
- I also care waaaaay too much about what people think, like the world revolves around me, which is just silly. It ends up making me try to do everything perfectly in case people are watching and therefore put more pressure on myself
- I've always been a deep thinker but nowadays my brain just doesn't switch off

Oh and i thought i'd add, i havent taken any MDMA since december just before the new year came in. (still sticking to the new years resolution...booooooya) And i still have a good few of these issues.

Anyway i'm interested to hear what you guys have got to say!
Peace.

There are heaps of fear threads. Did you have a look at past threads? The surfer guy person dude started a really good one with heaps of positive info.

anyway, welcome. I trust if you continue to look after yourself you will begin to feel improvements soon.

Stay positive

i'll check it out, i was under the impression they were all scattered, so i thought i'd try make one that would pull them all together kinda thing.

Yeah man, i'm trying! it's taking its sweet time but i'm doing my best for positive thinking. It really can change your outlook on EVERYTHING if you do just remain positive.

Read surfer179 thread to anyone having these symptoms..

Trying to forget about md as much as possible - clearing it and the negative thoughts and feelings associated from my mind

Eating well

Vigorous exercise

All really helped me.

I just feel going over and over and over the negatives doesn't achieve much

Anyway

Peace

I agree, focus on the positives than just the negatives. I checked Surfers post, exactly what i was aiming for. Anyone who hasn't, go check it!

You have to remember, the people online who post in drug forums/are drug users, only make up an extremely minute percentage of people in the world and therefore the amount of info about extreme/long-term MDMA induced comedowns is also minute compared to how many people have actually experienced them. For example, in my area the amount of MDMA users is high and our pills are always meth and MDMA based, theres deffintly damage happening to these users many are the every weekend type users and out of all of them I seem to be the only one that knows what MDMA is and how it works. Anyway my point is, and this goes for anything drug related really, the amount of people posting about MDMA induced long term comedowns doesnt account for many. Im a bit tweaked and anxious from it right now, but you can see my babling point I am trying to get accross that its more common than you think and your not alone!

Anyway, the important things to remember if your experiencing long term effects from MDMA abuse are;

- It will get better. Yes, I gaurantee you it will regardless of how you feel about it. I myself, and thousands of others who have gone through it wil tell you that and I know at times you will feel it won't get better and that your fucked but it couldnt be further from the truth. It takes time, but you will get there

- Stop thinking about it and get your mind off it and occupied. Now is the best time to find yourself a new hobby or try and accomplish something new in your life, do a quick google search on new hobbies... some great ones would be learning an instrument, taking up exercise, learning a new language, whatever dude, anything is better than spending your days thinking stupid thoughts.

- CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), not neccesary but will help with the stupid thoughts while your recovering.

Those things, plus exercise and eating healthy amongst many other things you will find I have posted this in a few other places if you want to search my posts regarding this issue, bit tight for time right now

You'll get there MDMA damage is temporary!

Therapy is a good one especially if you're a deep thinker. I started seeing one since my comedown started. Each time I walk out feeling grounded and refreshed. It's like a constant reminder that the comedown will end and life will go on.
