Every night I lie in my bed and think of how it would be to have someone to love. Then I cry.

Embrace it. It doesn't stop, it just get's easier to deal with. Also, watch movies, listen to music, leave the TV on, do something that creates noise when you go to sleep. It keeps the thoughts of suicide away.

Seriously, what the fuck is up with the inability to correctly spell "thinking" whenever one of you emotional cunts shitpost. Nothing wrong with the occasional misspelling of random words, but I don't care how bad you feel, there is absolutely no excuse to repeatedly misspell "thinking."

we are both free, and nothing matters more than other things in the big picture. so, identify what makes your subjective mind tick, then follow that.
subjectively speaking, drugs only gives a short term satisfaction. it halts your progress in realizing what you want to do with your utterly insignificant life.

yeah you can grow out of being 16

but seriously meditate. it isn't bullshit, it's a way of training your mind to become calm and stop thinking of stupid shit against your will (like when you're self-conscious at a party or thinking of babbys first existential crisis when you're trying to sleep)

how do you do it? you ask. well it's simple, close your eyes and take slow, deep breaths while focusing only on your breathing. if your mind strays then as soon as you notice it, go back to focusing on your breathing. minimum of 15 minutes of this.

Psychedelics are best. Avoid depressants at all costs like alcohol.

DMT, LSD, DXM, LSA, in that order of effectiveness and speed towards resolution.

Also DXM is a mixed bag, low dose ain't helpful at all. High doses are where its at. 600+

You sound very much like someone who has never meditated on these drugs, or even had the intent of growing with these tools.

You abuse drugs, and you'll get nothing. Recreational use is the worst thing you could do with psychedelics.

YMMV with DXM. Low doses were exceptionally helpful for me (95-135 mg at 140 lbs). Try it OP. Do careful research first though, as DXM doesn't play nice with many other drugs or medications. I found it very hard to panic on as well; the dissociation really lets you accept what's happening. A tip: listen to music and smoke weed with it, it's an experience unlike any other.

Tisk tisk, you are just disregarding the information in your mind being unlocked as noise simply because a drug is bringing it out?

OP, psychedelic drugs can go both ways. if you are anxious, depressed, unhappy or shameful taking any of these drugs might be horrible experiences
rule of thumb: most drugs will, with its own specific "touch", guide your high in the direction of the mood you are all ready in.
Also, if you are below 25 i suggest you avoid psychedelia all together. I smoked weed practically daily between ages 16 and 19, and I regret my abuse of the drug now, I think it stagnated my social development, I hope it hasn't stagnated any more cognitive development than that.
Don't ever do mind-altering drugs to become happy or to remove emotional pain.

If anxiety, and other issues are a problem. Get a friend to sit it out with you. Preferably a sober happy friend who can give you hugs when you get scared and don't know how to deal with the next emotional crisis.

Alternatively, try getting a prescription for Vyvanse and taking it as prescribed. Guarantee you won't feel much of anything. This isn't as bad as it sounds, and a few months of this will allow you to really get your shit in order and have nothing to be anxious about when/if you decide to stop.

vyvanse doesn't give nearly as much of a feeling of euphoria as adderall can in similar doses, so it's much less likely to be abused or for someone to become dependent on it.

You probably partially rewired your brain and got stuck at the midway point. Stagnating your thought processes by internal conflict being increased.

You don't just take the redpill and back out. You gotta go all the way.

I had that problem when I first started, but after giving it a chance I had no desire to abuse it. It's been a solid half year now at 30 mg, and my life is infinitely better. It really does give you a flat affect, but the withdrawals aren't really bad (just a few days of fogginess) when you want to stop.

That would right. I am suggesting you go back into taking drugs. Not for recreation but for exploring the limits of your mind. Don't use physically addictive substances. Don't be afraid of emotional discomfort and learn to conquer those feelings.

Always space out your usage so that you got time to think about the last trip in retrospect.

>You don't just take the redpill and back out. You gotta go all the way.
You sound like the faggot because you're using a pop sci movie in reference to smoking weed. Dropping acid while meditating isn't going to do anything more constructive for your mind or health than meditating on its own would, while it could definitely cause a lot of mental damage. you're so far up your own ass you think you're above someone who disagrees with your retarded methods.

I'm sure it can be a positive experience. However, I know myself to well to start doing drugs again. I've been addicted to cannabis, and I am rather sure I would be unable to moderate my drug use if I first started and had it available all the time.
Additionally, I find your suggestion that I should start doing drugs again ridiculous and not properly thought through. Drugs affect different people in different ways. Because of my personal drug histroy, I have some very strong negative associations to it. The last 18 months or so of my weed abuse, smoking was terrible most of the time, because of the aforementionened negative assosications - i.e. fear of getting caught, constant sense of doing something I should not be doing. I developed a strong social anxiety/paranoia that was triggered whenever I smoked.
I am using my own history as an example to illustrate how you should NEVER suggest to anyone to take drugs for personal development; and definitively not if you do not know the person intimately or if you are a psychologist/psychiatrist.
