Hi everyone,
I'm not a super-experienced mdma user, but have rolled probably 10 or 15 times in the last 3 years since my first time. I've only ever done it with friends, which is a great time, but I'm curious about trying a solo experience, without the distraction of other people, to learn about myself, come to some realizations, write down thoughts, etc.
What should i be concerned about? Obviously I'll have water, cool environment, cell phone to call someone if something goes wrong, although physiclally i should be fine, as i'll take 2 pills only, no redosing.
I'm more worried about bad psychological effects, since E makes me very social and lovable and I've always had friends there. I'm quite happy being alone while sober (quite intraverted) but has anyone ever had panic attacks or anything weird like that being alone while rolling?
Also, any advice on other enlightening ways to spend a solo experience, other than what i mentioned above?
Thanks for any input,
TK
I've rolled as many times alone as I have with people I think. I have a total BLAST! But I've gotta have my music... and my WinAmp! And my MilkDrop Visualization app available to me. ;-)
One thing that I have noticed is that when the social urges come on, I tend to call my friends (only the ones that roll as well) and tell them I'm rolling my ass off, and they always are super-duper happy for me and encourage positive vibes. They talk to me even if they're in the middle of something, or they'll call right back asap, cuz they understand how beautiful it is and are happy to be a part of my high. It's pretty cool to have friends like that too, I must say
But I do get restless, and find that it's best to set up contingency options ahead of time, in case I suddenly have an urge to go out!! Very good idea, and you'll thank yourself for doing so later! I make sure I've got my music together for my car, and I will either go for a cool-ass drive around town - usually on the freeway - with my music blasting, cruise the strip... maybe park and get out and walk around with all the tourists & crap. (I'm in Vegas, so it's pretty entertaining
But it all depends on my psychological/emotional state when I drop and what is in the pill (pure/cut - how much? etc). Many times I find it's just perfect to stay in and just get lost in the experience, for the whole night/morning.
One intersting thing about using X is that before you're on it, you tend to expect things to be different than they actually are when you're finally rolling. It's like you forget what it's like or something. So many things change about you that it's hard to predict what you'll wanna do!
Only time I've ever had bad psychological effects (like paranoia, pannick attack, etc) is if I took real speedy pills, then got carried away with the pot (I like to get high on the comedown, every time!). I can only get high a maximum of every 2 hours, and I used to lose traclk of time and smoke too often, and it would really fuck me up... cuz you've got that angst of the comedown, multiplied by the meth, then amplified by the pot. Not a good combo. I've since learned, however, that any negative thoughts I might have are totally fake, and induced by the pills... so I am militant about not taking them seriously. When you can do that, you can really enjoy the entire X trip, comedown included.
But that's me. Good luck!
