Everytime I have a whoop it up weekend clubbing, next few days I'm totally de-stressed and mellow/cloud9ish. When I have to get back into work (I have a demanding self-employed job) I just cannot be bothered and even start to resent it.

All I want to do is socialise, do creative stuff like my music and art and watch interesting sub titled foreign films post ecstasy. Oh and listen to techno music constantly.

What is everyone elses experience?
 
I experience the same thing dude. I also am self employed "freelance" and getting back into wanting to work takes weeks. I work because I have too, but I know my work isn't on par with where it should be. I find myself spending to much time on this site.. Sort of like Folley.. Haha I need his job lol. But yeah I feel the same way after a roll I'm sure many others are in the same boat.
 
Yeah, it's just the 'life is soooo beautiful' thing going on, and work is a distant memory.

actually im a bit different... im also self employed with a demanding job so i do the same thing; e.g. go clubbing and roll on the weekend to blow off steam... but with me i find that i go back to work on monday and not only am i totally sober but happy as well... like so much so that its a bit wierd... in fact since i started rolling again i find that i am having a difficult time *not* being happy about just about everything... dont get me wrong; i still get frustrated, mad when my GF annoys me, etc.. but i just look at life in general and am pretty darn upbeat...

also lately ive been making an effort to not roll every weekend and when i go out and am in the club environment ive been getting this wierd feeling like im rolling even though im not...

When I get super stoned on weed, put on a live hardcore set with an mc recorded from a rave, then start dancing to it. I find myself feeling as if i'm rolling at a rave and gurning subconsciously. The only way I realised was looking in the mirror. Some weird psychological shit going on there.

Sounds like a nice afterglow you get.

That's fucked up yo lol ;) I consider BL as my job!


But yeah, it's not like this is uncommon. Serotonin and dopamine are responsible for motivating you and making you happy naturally, so if you lack those chemicals obviously that won't happen as often or as strongly.... The most important thing you can do to prevent this is taking longer (3 month) breaks. Some people think that supplements can help as well though.
 
I feel exactly the same, I keep getting flashbacks of my rolling night and how awesome and beautiful life is. :) Only downside is that I sometimes get random panic attacks when I'm about to wake up.

And yeh after a hard rolling night, I also get that afterglow when I listen to my EDM music, I will just start to do hand moves and have that rolling feeling hah. Also I take a 100mg 5HTP cap for a day or two, it really helps me get right back into my normal happy mood. Then, when it's sunny, I'll just go take a walk outside, eat lots of fruits etc.
 
Post-ecstasy, I just want to sleep and get rid of my headache for a couple days. Usually I roll on a Friday and then I go back to work Monday morning ... I always dread work. My hangover is pretty bad.
 
Hangovers are always bad for me, the next day is always a write-off. Alot of effort even to get up and go to get something to eat, still blissed/tired out. Normally alright the day after that but only around 80% of energy levels. You need to keep working or you wont have cash for more rolls ;)
 
^ That's not a fair thing to just assume is it.

mark, how often do you take MDMA? and what kind of doses?
EDIT* found this in another thread just now lol

3 x 100mg standard ecstasy pills. That'd keep me going for 5 hours, the 3rd pill is optional, might just want to relax a bit after the 2nd.

So that's probably why.
The more times you redose, the worse the comedown is going to be, especially if your raving all night, it will really take it right out of you.
Vitamin C and green tea can help smooth the comedown though.

I am self employed and have been doing MDMA for over 10 years. When I was doing a lot of MDMA I fucked my job over a lot for the reasons expressed in this thread. It really threw me off balance. La La Land is fun and I LOVE being creative but I actually felt MORE get er dun creative juices when I was younger before using MDMA. Using too much actually started to decrease my creative drive and just make me want to be numby and dreamy. I like that sometimes but after awhile it starts to really get in the way of Life IMO. I cut my partying down and started working out and getting oxygen flow to my brain. I just had my best quarter at work ever. It feels great to be into work again. I still eat MDMA once a month or so, but keep it to 200mg max, usually only 100. I dont want to go back into Fog Land.....I like a good amount of time afterwards to clear the cobwebs.

I also learned how to live in that joyful world of loving music and people just by being....I drive around and do errands and jobs cranking the techno or whatever else I love. I just took it into my life instead of using it as the escape pod. Made every day life, the "mundane" stuff, more beautiful. Sometimes simple things are also great to revel in. Believe me, Im a real festival addict! I have also learned that less is more. I keep my eye on the prize now, make sure events are special and not so random.

Yeah thanks for that. I'm going for 2 pills max next time or around 160-200mg. The third pill will be very optional but I think I'll just have a coffee and some weed or maybe do a Jack D and coke + weed. I don't take caffeine very often, so it should be OK.

I'm not really hungover, it's more just a blissed out feeling where I just feel like socialising, getting stoned etc. more than normal.

Oddly I cut down my weed usage on the roll day, and the following days, just mellowed and didn't feel I needed so much. I'm back in my groove now, but about 1 week after clubbin, I hit a pretty low point. This could easily be aided by my all week drinking and weed smoking, but also I could be fcked doing anything. Did 5htp, few joints, Omega 3 and 5 doughnuts, helped matters. Back on target now and I actually want to keep the next night special so hoping not to go out till August, although an event is coming up next month.

Sounds like a nice afterglow that, bit of extra serotonin still floating around ;)

Yeah the after glow rocks! I'm prepared for the next roll, so I'll now embrace the laziness that follows and focus on creative stuff like my music.
