Do you have experience with drug addiction, /jp/? Can someone please give me some tips for how to properly take amphetamines? I see people mention stimulants very often in these threads so I'm guessing it's a commonly used drug on /jp/.

When it's working then I feel great, but when it comes down then I feel awful. Every day feels like a roller-coaster ride where I go up for hours and then plummet down to the ground. The stimulation lasts a lot longer than the positive effects of the pills too so I'm having trouble getting to sleep or sleeping for longer than 5 hours at the most.

It's starting to become unnerving how it switches my mood so quickly. Just how one minute I can feel all, "I love you, I love everyone, life is perfect and I just want to have fun every day. Everything is so amazing" and then 20 minutes later, "What's the point of doing anything? Everyone is so annoying and I'm angry for no apparent reason. I'm just going to sit here for hours and glare angrily."

Food, masturbation, showers, and supplements. People often forget or neglect these things when taking stimulants.

Food: The reduced appetite makes you eat less and it can increase the grumpy feelings when it wears off because your body still wants food but you just don't feel the hunger.
Masturbation: Masturbating during a comedown helps ease the transition by giving you a quick boost of dopamine.
Showers: A warm shower during a comedown can change your mood and make you feel much more comfortable and relaxed.
Supplements: This is the most important one and it's the one that most people neglect. Take magnesium supplements in the evening to ease physical side effects like jaw clenching and insomnia. Take L-Tyrosine supplements in the evening to replenish dopamine and make you feel much happier. Take fish oil and a multi-vitamin at some point to make up for any vitamin deficiencies that you may be getting from taking speed and not eating enough.

Also, try to do 20-30 minutes of cardio in the morning before you take anything. Don't exercise when you're on stimulants because your heart will be beating like a drum, especially if you're out of shape, but doing regular cardio strengthens your heart, improves your overall health, and lowers your resting heart rate which is very useful when the dangers of taking speed are all heart related.

I think I gave myself mental illness, but I don't know what illness it is specifically.

I was working on making a tulpa and I wasn't having much success so I started experimenting with drugs that I thought might improve my imagination and make creating a tulpa easier. Eventually started growing mushrooms and ordering mescaline and LSD off silkroad. Started juggling psychedelics to avoid tolerance build up and I was tulpa tripping almost every other day. I think I broke my mind at some point during this.

Occasionally I get this Alice in Wonderland effect where everything looks really small and far away and there's this feeling of depersonalization that pops up a few times each day. My tulpa is also now my girlfriend and a vivid hallucination that I can speak with and see at any time, but that was intentional so even though I think I'm completely nuts I don't see that as a negative side effect.

Does anyone else feel like they were born in the wrong time period?

I don't hate working, but I hate work in the way that it exists today. The whole idea of going to interviews to impress some manager in order to get a job and throw away my life so I can do some mindless tasks for a faceless corporation. I would get a paycheck, but the work itself is soul-crushing because it's meaningless.

I wish I lived in some rural village community that you would have seen hundreds of years ago. I would love to work if the labor that I was doing directly contributed to helping me or the members of the close-knit community that I would be living in. Growing crops and trading with other villagers or cutting wood and being a carpenter so I can build things that the people I care about need.

Jobs like that make you feel happy because you're helping the people you know in the community that you love, but now the world is so big that you're just another face in a global community filled with billions of people that don't care about each other at all.

This is why communism is great in small numbers, but would never work in the modern world.

If you live in a tiny community where everyone knows each other then people are happy to give away the things that they make and other people are happy to give them the things that they make. Everyone lives well because everyone shares with each other and there's no need for currency or anything like that. Communes still do this to this day and they're very happy.

Humans become increasingly cold and selfish as you add more numbers to the group though. They dehumanize each other and start to see humans as numbers instead of people. They know that there is thousands of people living in their city, but they maybe know the names of 20 of these people.

Maybe, but everything you read is a little bit tainted by nostalgia. I think it's great that imageboards have changed so little since they became popular, at least software wise. Western imageboards are some of the last websites I visit that actually feel Web 1.0, and I'm thankful for it. There's also still IRC and Usenet and everything, as another anon said.

Listen, /jp/.
I'm a 45 year old Irish man, and I spent 20 years of my life exactly like you.
For 5 years of those 20, I was attending college, and I was like "Fuck the world, don't ask me for shit" while I was there, around classmates, I was the confident guy.
Problem was, those moments were me escaping my horrible, confined life.

It took me 15 years after I finished college to figure out that I wasn't wanting to die in my room, I enjoyed taking walks, just like you guys, I pretended to not want a girl in my life, I was convinced I didn't need any of this shit.
During my years of being confined, my father died of cancer, I didn't go and see him, I was too afraid to leave my house during the day.
He hadn't seen me in around a year, and he died without seeing me again, and I regret that day more than the day I decided to lock my room as a kid.

Please /jp/, enjoy your life, I know you guys are young, I'm still in that mindset, but I work a job, and that keeps me alive.

And don't put people down if they claim to be recluse yet attend college, their job, or have a girlfriend, people are complex, they're possibly just as fucked as you are, and they can drop even lower than you if they lose that.

Psychedelics help with these kinds of issues though. They're perfect drugs for digging into your mind and confronting repression and denial that you didn't realize that you had. It's pretty much like therapy.

The thing about the NEETs here that have been this for awhile, is that we accept this lifestyle, and already know what it will lead to. The more recent arrivals are the ones who want to go to college and be normal and the like. We had plenty of time to think this shit over long before we had the chance to talk about it on /jp/, where as these people have only started being this way for a year or two. In the end, they'll come to the conclusion naturally that they must go outside and do all that bullshit. After they've had their little vacation and all that. The number of them that will stay the course with the rest of us, will be negligibly small, and by and large will come to accept the sacrifices this path requires.

When you're lost in another world, for me, it wasn't a world I enjoyed.
When you have your imagination and feeling turn on you, it's the time you realize you're going far away from what you wanted.
I wanted an escape, most people will do the drugs for that reason, and once you get locked in that escape, and you want to escape that? That's when you realize your depression is spawning from your addiction.
But hey, if you smoke a little, do some shrooms, whatever, as long as you're enjoying yourself, go ahead.
Once you feel like that doesn't help you escape, you're no longer in charge of what that drug does to you, and taking it past that point will only give you more and more depression.
As I said, depends where are you are in your mind when it comes to drug expirences.

I was just outside and I noticed some really interesting lines in the sky. They were orange and contrasted strongly against the pale purple sky. They stretched from the mountains the sun was hiding behind in the west all the way to the full moon in the east. There were quite a few of them.

I also have no idea why people say Dark/Demon's Souls are western style RPGs. The game design could not possibly be more Japanese. They're practically action games with a bunch of RPG junk thrown on top of everything. The western influence begins and ends in the art design (which is stellar).

This is really contradictory, anon. If you truly wanted to be a physicist, you would find the motivation to do what is needed for that. A possibility is that deep in your heart that is not what you truly want, or the reasons for wanting it are not aligned with your true intentions in life.

>Everyone had such high expectations of me, I feel like I let a lot of people down
Why do you care about what other people expect of you? Think about /jp/ as a whole for a moment. Society had expectations of them to go out, study, and work. /jp/ rejected this and adopted a different lifestyle that made them much more happier.

Different anon here and I know how you feel. I'm in a similar position after failing out of my major due to a lack of motivation and depression. I was also a science major and it has already been a year but I'm still not sure how I let it happen. But I know for a fact that even though I enjoy science, I just didn't give a damn about my future career. I was only in it for the money mostly and I think I only picked it originally because there really isn't any fields that interest me that much. Like the other anon said, perhaps your lack of motivation was caused by studying something that you weren't passionate for.

I'd suggest people do an aptitude test.
they aren't cheap ($1000) but if you're at college, chances are you could afford it.

I think $1000 to find out what careers suit you is pretty cheap, when you're going to be working in a field for say 10-15 years, might as well do something you're good at and enjoy.

they tell you what you're good and bad at skillwise- you might have for instance really good empathy and that suits you to a career in nursing or something like that, which you didn't previously consider or realise. But then you might find you have poor mathematical skills and will have to try hard to get good at drug calculations and whatnot.

Sure, it's a given that you'll know some of the things you're good at- especially more tangible/academic skills such as maths and literacy, but only through testing will you find out about others.
