[QUOTE=FoodStuffs;35367215] it's not so much fixing a problem and more working to deal with it.[/QUOTE] Wouldn't that be fixing the problem?
[QUOTE=Mac2468;35373891]Wouldn't that be fixing the problem?[/QUOTE] in a way yes. For traumatic life experiences, no drug is really going to help you, however there are ways both psychoanalysis and cognitive therapy that can help without drug use. For example, i know my shit was caused by an event in the past, i know when it started and that it isnt a chemical imbalance where i need meds, so im going to a cognitive therapist to be able to keep my anxiety and depressive episodes down and be able to suppress them before they become a problem. However, if i was to just smoke weed whenever i felt an attack coming on, i wouldnt really be dealing with it. I will have to keep smoking for the rest of my life every time it happens, while the other way may eradicate it completely over time. I know this is gonna sound fucking cheesy, but think of the man and the fish saying "give him a fish, feed him for a day. Teach him and you will feed him for a lifetime."

[QUOTE=Cpn Crunch21;35381874]Theres a unique kind of therapy where the therapist goes with you or simulates a scenario so you can apply it to a real life occurrence.[/QUOTE] How the hell does that even work? Like, how can they make it seem so real, that anxiety symptoms come up?
you know what a "trigger" is? it's a very widespread and common term in the mental therapy world. for example, if you were to see someone do drugs or smoke a cigarette or drink some booze, anywhere, in real life, in a movie, tv program, video game, whatever, and you started to crave drugs, you were triggered. the images you saw and interpreted made a little spark go off in a certain part of your brain and made you think you needed whatever you saw or something like that. triggers can be applied to many many different psychological things. one thing, and the topic at hand, it can be applied to is mental illness. i'm guessing in this kind of therapy they find then use the same kind of triggers that cause your mania/psychosis/anxiety attacks and once that mental dysfunction is triggered they work with you from there. i'm guessing they work with you in such a way where they're aiding in helping you come out of that state while building experiences and cause and effects to things you can do to come out of the deranged state. [editline]1st April 2012[/editline] i'm betting this kind of therapy has been around for a very long time as well.
essentially this [img]http://images.whereilive.com.au/images/uploads/2010/08/02/IBOLT_GG209538_4183510_resized.jpg[/img] However, its only used for extreme cases like agoraphobics, extreme arachnophobics, and heavy drug users that get severe cravings to the point where just talking about their drug of choice gets them antsy (just to name a few). Although like I said before a therapist can walk you through scenarios by talking to you while you meditate and walk you through what you should do and think.
yeah like with epileptics i've heard they induce seizures while doing some kind of scan or something (MRI would be fuck impossible unless they paralyzed them during the seizure).
sounds perfectly safe
na just in certain cases. i don't know exactly but there is some kind of used and approved medical thing for therapy were they'd induce a seizure (might not be epileptics) to monitor/confirm/etc. it really all comes back around. lots of time in therapy is spent studying triggers. i'd imagine it's the same in the beginning for at least the worst/weirdest cases.
well the only time they do it is to a) confirm a diagnosis or symptom and b) to make sure the surgery worked or meds. Causing seizures isnt a therapy (if thats what you were saying, but i dont see how epilepsy relates to therapy in what i posted so im lost).
OP clearly got slammed by those posts, I'm still waiting for his response

[QUOTE=polarbear.;35136083]I'm 15 years old and I've tried nearly every drug on the street. I'll say it straight up, I've done meth, crack, heroin and whatever else drug you think fucks up your life oh-so bad. [B]incoming huge ass fuck rant[/B] Something I've learned from my experiences of doing drugs since I've been 12 is that people are misinformed as hell. You got your "normies", who fear doing anything related to recreational drugs, who are also led to believe that drugs are much worse than your worthless word-twisting government anti-drug sites. They know absolutely nothing about drugs and are hell-bent on believing shit like "Heroin gets you hooked the first time man, you're fucked for life once you do it, get rehab" or "Meth is fucked, you're snorting car battery bro" and one that I really love to hear, "You get addicted to coke because the first time is the greatest, then every time you do it, you try to get that high again but it never happens" Fun bit of info, heroin is an opiate. A painkiller. It's pretty damn similar to Oxycodone or Morphine. You break your arm, go to the hospital and they shoot you up with a dose of morphine, and send you out with a script of Oxycontin pills. On the street you can get heroin which is essentially the same shit but stronger. The danger is usually from dealing with scumbag dealers and shooting up whatever the hell the heroin is cut with, and then of course, addiction. You can be given pure heroin for years, detox, and be quite physically healthy once the withdrawal symptoms are gone. Meth is an amphetamine. They give amphetamines to both little kids and adults to help them pay attention. Like opiates, there are stronger and weaker versions of it, but I guess with something like meth it's hard to get that speedy euphoria going with ritalin pills. And then you got your average misinformed drug user, whether they just smoke pot occasionally or sniff coke all the time, a large chunk of their knowledge on drug safety comes from hearsay. I'm talking about harder drugs here, because the consequences of pot are a joke compared to a very popular and LEGAL recreational drug, alcohol. Most people who smoke weed know what they're doing, but I know cokeheads who just throw money at a dealer, get their baggie and sniff shit that barely even gets them high. Often the next thing you hear is "Damn bro, this shit must not be colombian" (A statement which makes no sense) And then, you got someone who researches what they're doing thanks to the great knowledge you can find on harm-prevention resources. There are very little amounts of these people. I can't divide every person in the these groups, but mostly everyone can fit in to one of the three. If it wasn't for asking questions on sites like bluelight, I believe I would be DEAD right now, or in a much worse place, missing all my money and beat-up from shoving random chems in to my body. Now, back to my point, you can do nearly any drug out there in moderation and be completely fine. The main problem is addiction - For example, I've heard lots of stories where people do heroin once a week, and they just love it so much that they start doing it twice a week. Then three times, four times .. Next thing you know they're shooting up twice a day. With a drug like heroin, doing it once is just going to leave you with something in the back of your head saying "Gee, that was fun". Then you have to fight with your self-control once you get a craving that urges you to go out and do it again. This is mental addiction. Think it's so bad? Look at an obese person. They're addicted to food. Whether they give a shit about being fat or not, they failed to resist the cravings, and they got the "high" of your brain being happy, eating delicious food. Do you play video games? If you're in high school and on facepunch, I'd assume you enjoy video games. Have you ever been at a point where you couldn't play whatever game you really wanted to? I remember being angry as fuck when my mom took away my nintendo games when I was little, and I'm still pissed when my brother puts a password on my account and I can't play on my PC. Your unhappy and won't be happy until you get whatever you want. And in time, you know these will pass, but your willpower can fail and you give in to temptation. Addictions have negative effects.. Get a heavy addiction to food, your fat and your body hates you by giving you heart attacks. Get a heavy addiction to video games, you don't want to get a job, you wanna stay in your mom's basement and play WoW all day. Get a heavy addiction to drugs, well, we all know the problems of that. Keep food in moderation, stay healthy and enjoy some junk food now and then. Keep gaming in moderation, play on your free time and have fun. Keep recreational drug use in moderation .. What's the problem? If you develop a heavy heroin habit, you're going to get opiate withdrawal - Physical addiction. Heroin withdrawal is usually your body in a massive "Fuck you" mode - You have the worst flu symptoms of your life, your entire body is aching in pain, you can't sleep, you always feel uncomfortable. It's not uncommon that people kill themselves instead of going through withdrawal. You already feel like you're going to die. But that's just heroin, most drugs you don't have to worry about physical withdrawal. The truth is, long-term side effects of recreational drug use mostly don't happen unless you're binging on the stuff for really long time. Like I said with heroin ... You can do pure cocaine regularly for years, detox/rehab if needed (rhetorically speaking, you don't give in to the cravings to do it again) and be pretty damn fine. But today, street coke is cut with so much shit that the fillers you get will do WAY more damage to your body than actual cocaine. Same goes with drugs that aren't prepared/synthesized well like street methamphetamine. Something I noticed, look back to the older years - Around the 70's - Where rockstars were doing shittons of real coke - Back when coke wasn't often cut with anything. Steven Tyler from Aerosmith had legendary use of blow, and he's had more health issues from running around on stage all the time in boots. Today, you can find coke addicts getting health problems rather quickly from street coke. So please, be a little bit open-minded and don't think someone is instantly incredibly retarded for trying recreational drugs. (i believe) You only live once, and life is short as hell. Make the most of it. I'm not saying go out and spend all your money on a drug binge, but taking some adventurous leaps will probably lighten up your boring life of "Bust your ass off doing 16 years old school, get a job, start a family, drink your coffee, go to work, sleep, rinse and repeat." Lemme throw in one more bit: I can understand giving shit to someone for hard drug use, but I hope you can grasp enjoying alcohol, right? Maybe not at your age, where you think most kids do it to look cool or some shit. Alcohol is one of the worst long-term drugs out there. Alcoholism will do a lot of physical damage to you. By long-term, I mean it takes YEARS of heavy alcohol use to cause damage that is really bad. This goes for a lot of recreational drugs. You're not doing [B]jack shit[/B] to your body if you go to your cool-kid high school party and have a beer. Hell, it's considered a health benefit to have a glass of red wine or beer every now and then. I guess not at the age of 15, but around 20-25 when your brain stops developing. Unless you're going to be the next nobel prize winning scientist, I don't think drinking at that age every now and then at a party isn't going to matter. A "normie" is going to over-exaggerate the bad effects of drugs by a billion times, which makes you look like a retard because you don't even know a thing about the drug. And then, you have pot. Cannabis is one of the most safest recreational drugs out there - I would rather have kids toking up than getting wasted at a party. It's perfectly fucking fine in moderation, hell, it's got numerous health benefits. Sure, you can get addicted to it, but I like I said, you can get addicted to food or video games, or anything that makes you less-bored, really. Being a pot head is often as bad as being a "food addict"/fatass or the kids who skip school to play video games all day, at least in my opinion. So many people smoke weed, you have no freaking clue. I think the percentage was 42% of 2010 high school graduates in the US have tried weed. That's a big fucking number, more than 2 in 5 kids that graduate have given weed a try. (Although I think most didn't inhale the first time, never did it again and say they tried it lol). The government spends so much money on a failed drug war, I can understand controlling other substances, but if you think weed should remain illegal you're silly. I believe it can be taxed, controlled and help the gov't make money off of it, and solve a ton of BS issues that having it illegalized has made. And when I try to give any of this information to a "normie", they're hell-bent on believing what they read on those fucking useless anti-drug sites, filled with crap info like horridly over-exaggerated side effects and some word-twisting to brainwash the ignorant teen. Do your fucking research, marijuana is fine and should not remain illegal. You don't know a thing about it until you try it, which I highly recommend you do and quit being a brainwashed puppet of your government. It's an amazing experience that can't be described with words. Sorry, I had two coffees this morning, first time I had caffeine in a long ass time and I really wanted to spill out everything that has been piling up in my head. Go ahead and rate me dumb for experimenting with harder drugs at such a young age, but I'm having a blast living life on the edge. I don't exactly regret any of my past fuckups. They provided me with so much understanding and empathy, I know how fucking shitty it is growing up in an abusive environment. I know the tempting world of drugs - Fights, cops, danger, drama, and getting high. I know the hell of addiction. Harder drugs can turn in to some really serious shit, but it's an addiction itself, and I love it - No day is the same as before. It's exciting, knowing I'm so young and there's so much more to experience. Good and bad times that I'll trek through. I wouldn't trade anything in the world for this. So, you can have fun with your parents that don't allow swearing in your house, enjoying your daily routine of school/work/whatever. I'm not saying go and do whatever the fuck you will, but there's a much more exciting world you're missing out on.[/QUOTE] BBBBBBBBUT drugs are bad, m'kay! Think of the children!
