dude, been there, done that. if you're on here talkin bout it, you aren't gonna do it. i tried, and failed, twice. once with asprin and paracetamol, the other time with ecstacy and ketamine. both times i was found and had my stomach pumped before it worked. i always wonder why i tried it, wether it was work, family, friends, drugs or some other factor that made me want to kill myself. sometimes i wish they had just let me die, other times i am glad they didnt.only you can make the choice kid, are things really as bad as they seem? are u doing drugs? do you need this girl to live? or is it just teenage angst against the world, like everybody goes through? think about it.

Hi Joy\nI think the other two gave good advice, but I would like to recommend something else in addition to their suggestions, which really helped me.\n\nKeep a journal and write in it every day.  Keep it private and safe.  Write everything down.  I don't know why it should be, but the simple act of putting it down on paper is a kind of unburdening.  And since you're confiding in nobody but yourself, you can be as open as you wish.\n\nWhat I am suggesting costs nothing, involves no medication, no other person and can do you no harm.   Please give it a go.\n\nTake Care\n\nOh and eat good food, get gentle exercise, sleep well, all that stuff you already know about...

I am a recovering addict myself, and willing to share my story if it would help. I have now been clean for 4 months and have NO desire to go back to where I have been. I had been on drugs(meth, coke, crack,pot, pills, etc.), for 15 years too. Let me know how to contact you and I would be glad to talk to you about my experiences with drugs and recovery. I can totally relate!

I am sorry that that happened to you. YOu just need to understand that when you post your questions / comments on here we can't tell what form you are saying them in. So some people may read them as harrassment while others look at them as someone in alot of pain reaching out for help. If you do need help this is a place in which you can get some, but also remember that people are mean. And some of them may make comments that hurt your feelings just for the sake of being an a$$. That is really good that you are seeing a therapist and feeling and doing better with everything. If you ever need a friend to talk to you can email me at any time. I suffer from anxiety and I am on Lexapro for 6 weeks now. I love it and feel great. So I guess I kind of know where you are comming from.

people need to realize it is not about having a trip, it is supposed to enhance a question, it is like a vision quest, it should leave you feeling happy ar at least answer some questions for you, it should not be used recreationally.  Shamans have used this drug for a long time it is known as the herb of the seer, some people are probably not meant to be able to handle the effects.

I have never heard it, nor want to if it demeans my GOD.  People take things like this to heart, and when they are on drugs of any kind, everytihng seems "normal" or a "new state" and they think its "right" for them and then inflict it on the rest of the World.\n\nNo thank you... I will stick to the Word as it is written and be happy with that.\n\nI wish you well..\n\nJesse

An excellent point! I am a psychologist and I am bit alarmed at some of the answers given to quite technical, medical questions. While a small % of the questions I have seen are obviously from 'cranks' most of them seem genuine and the people concerned are obviously anxious about their condition.\n\nI agree with your point, re drugs, and people who are not medically trained should NOT be giving advice on drugs at all - even if they have just read up on then in Wikipedia (not always a reliable source!!!!).\n\nI think this type is site is fun - but this medical section is becoming a genuine concern for me.

Seems to me psychotherapy is going out of fashion as the drug companies become ever more powerful and steer western medicine on the path of pharmaceuticals rather than the much more healing approach of figuring out the basis for unwanted behaviors and then working toward changing them. Perhaps you could explore this theme. I mean, really....all these kids on psyche drugs? That can't be good....

Your words are exactly what I am dealing with myself. However, I have been self-medicating with alcohol to deal with this anxiety for over 10 years and I now have a serious problem. I thought I would never overdo it but I have as time has gone by ... I am now seeking treatment and wish that I would have pursued other options for my problem. A therapist of mine had great words ... medication - no matter in what form only covers up the underlying problem. Working through the problem and understanding it is the only answer.

Hey, i think an awful lot of people see this answering as a game-just to gather points, and its mainly younger people, as they see it as a computer game rather than free online advice (and giving advice).\n\nHowever, ive been interested in counselling and teaching throughout my childhood (and now), as i have been through alot of trama and abuse throughout my life. \n\nI guess i wanted to reassure people that they wernt alone with their problems and give them hope! \n\nso no, its definately not for the points! level 3 already and ive onyl been on here a few months :)\n\nxx

Ally, Have been to a doctor?  After reading through your profile, it's obvious that there are some serious issues going on.  Getting on Yahoo Answers maybe one form of release as far as getting in put and being able to express yourself and I think it's great that you can come on here and just let loose with questions and answers but you really need to get to a doctor if you haven't already.  If you have a chemical imbalance then you can get medication and have the opportunity to live and be and feel free from all these emotional problems.

After reading this, get off your computer and speak with your doctor.  His medication cocktail for you is not working to your benefit.  If you need to, get a "second opinion" and don't let the cure kill you.  Good luck.

Call the police ASAP, my good friend spent every penny he had on the drug, he spent about $250 a week and lost his job and most all of his contacts.  I finally called the cops on him and he thanks me to this day for saving his life.  If I would of waited any longer, I don't know if he would of been around.  Know that you can call the police from a pay phone and not give them your name.  Please do your mother a favor and get her into treatment before it's too late.  This is a very serious thing, and I know you love her, please do the right thing and get her help.

It sounds like your acquaintance is having trouble figuring out who is he (this used to be called "finding yourself" once upon a time). As he explores different ways of looking at the world and at himself via the drugs, he's also exploring different ways of being. Could be that he'd benefit from some counseling, but that's up to him if he wants to really delve into his own psyche or if he'd rather just abuse his body to the point where he no longer cares who he is. I believe that most people have the capacity to be bisexual, and there's nothing bad about that. However, making advances on friends he knows to be straight indicates he's having problems with judgment (also evidenced by the drug use). So, the drugs per se are a symptom of what's going on with him, not the cause. They're just allowing him a facade to hide behind as he expresses his own inner feelings. I realize it's not your place to intervene, but the drugs are most likely going to destroy him; hopefully he won't take anyone else down with him.

It was explained to me like this... lets say I'm on medication to help control a growth in my groin area. Do I want everyone to know that I have to take a pill to help this growth? Not really. I only want those that need to know to have this information.\n\nIn the classroom, it is the same thing. Does everyone need to know that Susie has a learning disability? Or that Tim has diabetes? Not in the least.\n\nAnd even for those without disabilities - does everyone need to know that Johnny got a 100 on the last test? Or that Philip got a 25? Once again, no.\n\nKeeping confidentiality helps keep the gossipping down both by the teachers/staff and the students.
