[QUOTE=Mindtwistah;41302703]Yeah I can understand why this is, naturally people suffering from such disorders are more likely to resort to drugs, especially if it involves depression in one way or another. I was just surprised by the number of people specifically being bipolar on here and found it to be a curious observation. And I wouldn't generalize saying everyone on here has a dysfunction of some form, though I can agree that the percentage of such people would be higher on an internet forum and especially one dedicated to drug use. Then again if your definitions for dysfunction are loose enough everyone in the world can be considered having some kind of dysfunction.[/QUOTE] yea I agree with mindtwistah on the generalization Im perfectly fine :v:
[QUOTE=dedo678;41304469]Just always know what your doing OP. In 2011 I took 6 tabs of strong acid and had a nightmarish trip because I had no fucking clue what I was doing and just threw them in my mouth. The full year afterwords was filled with panic attacks and existential crisis's that haunted me day by day. I am a lot better nowadays, not the same as before due to a depersonalization disorder, but I function and live happily.[/QUOTE] I feel for you bro, and everyone else in this thread who has been through similar situations. I can only wish the best for you and the rest of my brothers. I'll heed your warnings, I don't think doing more than 4g of mushrooms is a good idea anyways, it would be too much unless I were with a bunch of strong-minded friends. To be honest with you any negative dips in my trip today were from worrying about what my friends were experiencing at times or how they were acting in front of other people. I never looked to correct them because I didn't feel like it was my place to do so, but getting through these moments by remaining positive/optimistic made me realize I can be stronger than to worry so deeply about what others are experiencing and to just let them experience it themselves without intervening. Not only that but I could remain positive through the majority of situations whilst on them. I care too much about others, and I'm really starting to realize that could be one of my prior downfalls to this experience, not only that, but over-thinking is the death of "soul". This trip was really full of revelations and it will take me at least few weeks to sort out everything that I've learned.
[QUOTE=FoodStuffs;41302298]dude isn't it obvious that this section would have the highest concentration of people with profound mental disorder? not to seem rude... kinda dunno how to put that in a non rude way right now. se la bi-polar. but really this is the forum's subsection for drugs. internet forums themselves have an inherently high rate of mental dysfunction for other reasons even more obvious that i won't even go into them. people with mental dysfunction are at an insanely high risk of self medication, which is considered as recreational drug use. way more people start using drugs to cope with problems than people who just want to try something new. i wouldn't be surprised if pretty much everyone here has some kind of actual dysfunction in one way or another, profound, deep under the surface or somewhere in between. That goes for pretty much the rest of FP as well, but the figure drops a bit. [editline]3rd July 2013[/editline] hopefully you've worked your shit out and you guys aren't self medicating anymore.[/QUOTE] I feel like a bit of an outsider sometimes when people on here start listing off the worrying amount of mental issues they apparently have. I don't have any issues in life nowadays. I mean I had a shitty childhood (terrible bullying, physical and emotional, not like my parents beat me or anything) and was really unhappy for a long time, even seriously thought about suicide at one time but now I'm a perfectly mentally healthy, happy individual. Drugs are fun, that's why I do them :v: No self medication. [editline]4th July 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=dedo678;41304469]Just always know what your doing OP.

The universe ended for me the night of my 5 tab trip. I gave up on life [I]during[/I] that trip and half wished death would just take me and have it over and done with, but then when I came back to reality I was perfectly fine. Fuck, better than fine, I was ecstatic that everything actually existed and possibly as a result of that everything seemed more beautiful than it ever had done to me. I think it probably has a lot to do with your outlook on life personally. Someone who only sees the negatives in life is probably gonna come away from an experience like that somewhat... damaged. If you see the positives though you'll probably come away from it relatively unscathed. Also existential crises don't really phase me too much anyway because I'm doing a physics degree and my daily, sober thought processes lead me into having them so I'm kind of used to crazy, paradigm shifting notions by this point :v: I suppose that probably helps too.
[QUOTE=Stormcharger;41306575]yea I agree with mindtwistah on the generalization Im perfectly fine :v:[/QUOTE] Same here, the only thing dysfunctional about me with the definition Foodstuffs provided would be my drug use :v: But there aren't any underlying problems that have caused me to use drugs, they're just a way for me to spice up my life

You should be fine! Take the saying metaphorically rather than physically obviously. Probably trying to say it's not a good idea. The people are right, doing any kind of psychedelics repeatedly has the potential to really screw up a person inside.
