depressed?

Ok this may sound a lil weird but here goes…

*Note not sure if this is important but I think I should say*
Last Friday I took a few ecstasy pills for the first time and had a really good time… sorry I know that sounds wrong but I did, and again on Monday (only one).

I have had a great week and have been feeling motivated to get things sorted out such as university work, and have sorted things out with my ex and moving on etc.

I have not been sleeping well for quite a while now (just lye in bed and don’t fall to sleep very quick but I eventually do) for the last three nights I have not been to sleep at all, I just cant fall a sleep even though I feel tired etc…
It hadn’t really effected my mood (like I said I have been feeling really good about myself all week) until today that is, I feel like I’m in a dream and nothing seems real to me, I can be having a conversation and it just looks feels like its not actually happening… its really hard to explain Its kind of like having a conversation with someone when you have just been woken up in the morning and still half a sleep.

This afternoon I have felt really down, I can just stare at something for minutes and generally not care about anything, I even been asking my self what would it be like if I wasn’t alive, and if I had a button in front of me that would kill without any pain would I press it (10 minutes ago I would have)

I don’t think that this has anything to do with me taking ecstasy on Monday as I came down from that on Tuesday (although I felt like I should tell you that I did take it).

I don’t really know why I’m posting this as its not going to give me any answers or anything, it just has given something to take my mind off things for a while.

Regards

Chris

Ps. Don’t get me wrong I’m not a druggy by all means, I will not be taking pills again for a while (I did like the experience and I would take them again in the future, but not any time soon)

Pps. Sorry if this doesn’t make much sense I have just written things down as it comes to me and like I said I have not slept for a while…

Well... its up to you if you are going to take drugs. I wouldnt be so presumptuous as some on here to tell you that you cant. You are, I assume educated enough to know the risks for yourself and make your own informed decisions.

As for sleeping... yep I struggle too.
Start going through the usual stuff, hot chocolate before bed, warm milk, read, herbal remedies that kinda thing.
One thing that helped me is trying to recall the position I wake up in.
It was obviously comfortable at some point at night so chances are it will be again if you try and lay in it?

In my opinion you're bored. Really bored. And the sleep thing is probably a matter of your body having energy it doesn't know what to do with. I've often felt depressed when all I was was majorly bored. The whole feeling like nothing matters comes from not actually doing anything that seems to matter. So do something.

yes, i do know the risks and like i said its not going to turn into a problem or anything. I took it with a friend and we allready decided before taking them that we would not take it again for a while... we are all close friends and wouldnt let it get out of controll or anything =]

thats the problem i have been trying these things for ages and they dont really help, i did go to the doctors about it a few weeks back and they just gave me a print out with things to do (didnt really work)

yes this was on the sheet also, it told me to do exercise during the day... i do have started to go to the gym and do sit ups etc duiring the day time.
however you do bring up a good point about it does feel like nothing matters because i dont have anything to care about/have to look forward to right now. maybe i should try and make more plans etc...m a very spontaneous person - and me and my friends never plan anything (which is rather fun at times!)

i guess i also feel a lil lonely right now... but hey thats a whole differant topic!
maybe i should try and find my self a partner to cheer me up!!.... but thats going to be hard when im feeling like this (AHHHH its like a vicious circle!)

hmmm im going to stop before i end up writting all my problems down!! :tongue:

cheers

I love the spontaneous thing, it's great! Unless it means you're sitting around waiting for something to come along.

As for the sleep thing there's no point really inducing it; my theory is, let your body sleep when it decides and awake when it decides. Unless it decides to sleep at 4am when you have an exam at 9am; then you'll need an alarm clock!

and no one is online to talk to so im just watching the mighty boosh!!! woooooo :rolleyes:

haha, that sounds just like me... i end up going to bed and silly times and get up at an equally silly time :tongue:

the mighty boosh is keeping me happy for the time being....

"these thing are amazing (holding a coco nut) tastes exacly like bounties, who'd have thought of that... chocolate is a bit weird though, its like that cheap chocolate you get in advent callenders"

love it =]

brilliant, i know exactly what you mean. im not a druggy but last year and the year before i took quite alot of pills. 15 in one night, well right through the night not in one go ofcourse.
the first time you take one is the best, but the depression that comes after it sort of cancels it out but when you think back you truely did have a good time.
i dont condone taking drugs at all, they DO put you in a state and prevent you from working and passing exams etc.
