Well, I don't know you that well. And I wasn't saying that with just you on my mind (also those examples). She was talking about being at the bottom there's nowhere to go but up. With psychedelic drugs this unfortunately is not necessarily the case. Seems very worthy to point out
To get "out of a rut" (or wherever you're at) using psychedelics, it might be best if you had a seasoned guide... Or the rut could get deeper if left to your own devices. Don't ask how I know this. :wall:
Honestly I think I use drugs cause I'm a weak person. Before I used to be addicted to pain killers and now I simply can't be around them. I suffer with Depression and PTSD and I just wanted to escape cause I constantly had flashback's and had trouble sleeping at night. So I did anything I could to try to escape my pain. However I got myself clean all on my own and I gave up on smoking cigarette's and I rarely drink. I'm not much of a drinker anyays cause I find myself always crying after I drink. Now I smoke weed every now and again but I don't abuse it, I know my limit now. When I feel overwhelmed or stressed out I'll smoke a bowl but it's not something I do every single day. Usually smoke a bowl at night right before I go to bed so I don't get nightmares of my abuser.
An abuser? I'm sorry to hear this. I hope you can find the right person to help you get to solid ground. Maybe a professional? Unless of course you're still with/around your abuser. I'm not asking.
I don't think that is a good way to avoid bad dreams. I see where you are coming from but if you didn't smoke for a few nights your dreams would be much worse. That would level out but its a rough week or two for some people.
No I'm no longer with him anymore. I'm seeking a professional right now and seeing a therapist. It's okay. Yeah you're probably right. Now I'm awake, I woke up from a deep sleep. Sleeping has definitely become a problem for me. It sucks.
I don't but cannabis helps me shut off my brain before bed at least for now..thinking of quitting again
For me, music is the best drug. I thought of this song with you in mind. Not a cheerful song obviously, but I find some down-tempo songs can give me solace when I'm low. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lcZ0redg1s
I probably should just avoid certain drugs. I've enjoyed psychedelics, so perhaps I should just avoid heroin and other opiates again.
OF COURSE everybody has their own love/hate list. I've never tried H and never will, for reasons I won't go into here. Also, I don't like anything I'm hearing about meth. But these details are kind of beside the point.
I think everyone agrees here with staying away from heroin Certainly if you're in a bit of a down spot.
