Why'd drugs give me self-esteem issues and social phobia

[ibldcubbyblue]

SRS i just dont get it. I've been on them for about a year and i totally changed. My thoughts are very bad, i Dont talk to my friends as much. I stopped being the person i truly was. Has this happened to any1 else?

stop smoking pot alone

[Kazbien]

What drugs are you takin?

[ibldcubbyblue]

stop smoking pot alone

I didn't. I smoked with a couple buddys of mine for a good 6 months and then all this sh** started happening.

[AtAllCost33]

time to switch to uppers then you wont be able to stop talkin to people

[CleverNickName]

They can induce paranoia and anxiety. You're messing with your neurotransmitter balance.

[brianhorne3]

They affect neurotransmitters in the brain, the balance of which constitute a large part of a persons personality and mood. I don't condemn or condone drug use, but it affects everyone differently, and you use them at your own risk.

wat

weed makes me hyper and talkative and a better improv comedian


mine is probably laced with coke thats probably why lol

[ibldcubbyblue]

I started with X, then lots and lots of pot, then did acid. I've been trying to sober up but i still get temptations.

Thats what it did too me for months and then it stopped. Hopefully you dont do it everyday like i did.

[alphamind]

I was in the same phase a couple months ago. Now I take nothing but caffeine, nicotine and occasionally weed. Your brain is gonna fix itself by staying sober. It takes a while.

dude to be honest with you the 16 months I was forced to stop smoking was the happiest 16 months of my life. Now I smoke occasionally but looking for adderal to solve the problem drugs are creating for you makes no sense. Just stop doing ****, (except binge drinking obviously), and wise up.

[ibldcubbyblue]

Drop the pot if it's giving you social issues. I'm a fan on many drugs but pot is certainly not one them, just not for me I guess. Make sure the E that you take is MDMA, buy a test kit if you need it. I really wouldn't roll more than once a month though. As far as the acid is concerned, I find psychedelics to be very worthwhile experiences; however, I would limit this to only a few times a year.

Just my .02, not trying to be a drug-snob as many people are now days.

Whatever you do though, stay as far away as possible from psychiatric medications. Benzos, SSRI's, etc... that sh!t will fukc with you, even if you are prescribed.

I drop the x awhile ago, i am no longer addicted to them. Its the pot that i'm trying to stop. I'll tell you this much, i did 3 hits of acid and never doing it again. I Had like sucidal thoughts, It was scary. Thanks! repped.

[Azzurri]

I got an Idea, how about you stop taking drugs.

I have ADHD so i need the adderal

[sb327]

its been happening to me, but im getting over it. had a few bad trips smoking weed and had really bad paranoia and anxiety about life and reality. i made the stupid mistake of smoking even afterward because my friends convinced me. it ****ed up my mind, and reality literally changed. i felt like my mind wasnt part of my body (depersonalization) and that all of my good feelings were artificial. thought i was going crazy and that id never get better. it also became hard to enjoy music and other art forms because i felt like the person who made it was better than me. it really ****ing sucked. i forced myself to think positively, even though it seemed futile and eventually i started to feel better. im still pretty vulnerable to these thoughts and theyve been coming and going but less and less as time goes on. reality has returned to normal and ive left a stronger person than i was before. you just gotta remember that its only permanent if you make it that way and that you will eventually get better.

[BeachBrah]

oh youre on amphetamines/methylphenidate


stay away from SSRIs and other pills....


all i know weed made me a more interesting and outwards person. it literally provided my brain with a laundry list of interests and hobbies. i have so many ideas running through my head

[be.BUILT]

So is anyone here claiming that a long time shmoker that quits will have a gain in selfesteem (in regards to having anxiety) ?

curious, this has been the reason I've been thinking of stopping dat dere ganja

same.

Where do you improve? Can anyone attend a class? Sounds fun.

[ibldcubbyblue]

Amphetamine will change you're personality, big time. I'm not a doc, but everybody and their mother has ADHD today. I did the ******** thing for a while and things went really well for me, got straight A's, better confidence, etc. When you're on it you don't realize how much of an effect it has on your personality but when you come off it will start to become apparent. Amphetamine certainly has its uses and benefits... but definitely has its downsides as well.

Yeah i have noticed big changes when am on it. How long did you take them? And when you stopped did you notice a change or were you still the same person before you took them?

[BeachBrah]

same.

no no....like on the spot commentary....like if i notice anything i just automatically think of something funny.


before i used to be a brain dead meh zombie

[gerbilz]

people with ADHD who take adderal =/= talkative

[jaxattack]

Good timing for thread OP, going through exact same thing with weed at the moment. been smoking every day for about 2 years now, and in the last 6 months pretty much been high every minute i'm not at work.

I think what did it to me was my flatmate has always been anti-weed, so I initially tried to smoke on the downlow and hide the fact that I was high, which eventually led to me shutting myself in my room and toking up by myself, every night. I'd sometimes come out but whenever I did I was too overwhelmed by paranoia/anxiety to compose legit conversation, it felt like every word had to be forced out. Then I'd get the guilts for doing it, being a bad friend, not getting anything done because id just smoke and watch music vids all night etc...

This is only my personal experience, and it's 100% brought on by myself. Nothing wrong with weed, it's a good plant with great uses, I just got carried away and let myself get too caught up in getting high at a bad time in my life, don't fall down that path of smoking every day in solitude, it will eventually affect you socially. Stopped smoking 3 days ago and plan to go sober for a fair while to recompose myself.

[edit] biggest contributing factor is probably that in bold, use it recreationally, not as an escape.

I feel yea man, Good luck! I know how hard it is too stop

[Dr_Decay]

yea same with me. When I'm secretly high @ work, I make everyone laugh without even trying. I'll just say what I think and apparently its funnier than **** I say sober.

I think it has to do with weed silencing your self consciousness. That awareness of being alive really fcks you up mentally

[CalebRM]

I've thizzed about 50 times and used to do mush and cid on occasion and i feel about the same man. I quit smoking too because it was giving me anxiety.




BRB only drinking on occasion

feeslgoodman being known as the happy guy / could put a smile on your face when you're having a bad day
