Does being under the influence of something scare you?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm talking about drugs and alcohol. For example, a while back I tried weed, and had such a bad trip with no perceptions that I got scared as hell, I seriously thought I'd die. Being a 100% aspergers case, I DO NOT like it when I'm under the influence of anything. It makes it seem like anything could happen to me and I wouldn't have any control, like I could accidently kill myself or something.

I LOVE being under the influence. Alcohol, weed, pharmaceuticals. Anything to mellow me out.

I have only ever had alcohol and pot. I went off the pot when someone gave me a joint that had clearly been mixed with something else...it gave me the most massive panic attack along with palpitions and all sorts. I barely made it home and have not touched it since. Alcohol.. it would take a lot to get me really drunk and even having a fair amount never made me jolly...if anything I was even more depressed with it. And my thyroid issue means I do not absorb it well so I end up feeling ill for a week. So nope. I like to be in control of my mind anyway.

The non-CNS effects of drugs is what scares me.

Does being under the influence of something scare me? Almost never. I've always found the world within much more interesting than the world without.

I'm too good for "the infulence" its for WEAK people,NT or AS.

I'll try never to touch alcohol, because both sides of my family are full of alcoholic depressives.

prolly my second biggest regret is my life is trying alchohol (sex being the first)

Being under the influence is so bad in my book because its such a huge sign of weakness and lack of self being and respect.

Why would anyone think that the barbaric surpression of your normal brain functions a good idea.?

Good grief. I grew up in the 60's and 70's so doctors gave you almost anything. I was given prescription Darvon and Qualuudes (714's) to take three times a day for five years. Needless to say, I didn't need anything else. I never liked it, but I was 15 when they gave it to me and I had no idea what it was. A pharmacist told me no GP should be giving me that, so I looked it up and saw the side effects. I quit all of it that day and hardly slept for six months after.

I don't like alcohol. I hate the taste of any of it which only leaves me vodka because I can't taste it. That's the drink of alcoholics, so I always heard, so I left it alone.

I was with Graelwyn, I didn't like pot, but a girl across the hall in the dorm got some and talked me into smoking it. It was laced with Angel Dust. That certainly scared me! Talk about a bad mirror moment. I looked in the mirror and saw a demon staring back at me. Completely freaked me out. Never touched pot again.

Beyond that, I've had ever conceivable opioid pharmaceutical known to man at one time or another. Morphine on the drip, Codeine, Demerol, Percodan, Darvon and Stadol. I don't like any of it. I have an incredibly high tolerance to all of it and I had allergic reactions to Demerol, Codeine and Percodan. Stadol made me hallucinate.


I just don't like any of the stuff. Either it does nothing, I have an allergic reaction or it makes me feel out of it. Nothing I want to feel.

thats werid for a chick to turn down alchohol or pot. kudos

I've never tried drugs (pot, speed, etc) as I've always been terrified of being out of control of my own body. Never saw the sense of it myself.

I had a bunch of bad trips with psychedelics before, but no, usually they make me feel awesome

I've been drunk a few times. First time was a LOT of fun, and it didn't take very much due to my Prozac.

Scared is a good word to describe it. I don't like the loss of control and I try to fight whatever it is that's affecting me...which of course leads to bad things.

I explained it to my psychologist like this. I told him that the world everyday for me is such a jumbled confused rush of images, sounds, smells, etc that I'm feel like I'm constantly under attack and always fighting to try to make sense of the world through all of that. When I have a medication affecting me (a legal medication or alcohol or whatever), it throws everything that's inside me into chaos too. That makes me unable to untangle the chaos that is the world around me because I'm busy trying to fight the chaos inside me.

Mnem,

It makes me feel like I can't do anything with the tangled mess so it's all laying on top of me and smothering me. I don't like any drugs. That's why my days of being some doctor's lab rat are over.
