Hi all,
I am considering asking a question on this forum that may be considered 'too far' or wrong. I don't want to get into trouble or upset anyone as I find this group really helpful. But I wanted to ask first if you feel I should ask my question to you all in the hope of no judgement, or if you feel I should keep it to myself?
I'll tell you one thing: you now have my attention and my curiosity. Personally, I can't think of anything that would offend me. Maybe your question is sexual in nature? Is it bigger than a breadbox? Maybe you could fly it by some people in your life and ask them what they think. If you post your question here, I think the moderator of this forum would take it down if it were real inappropriate. But I can't imagine that happening.
I have found this forum to be made up of people needing advice and also willing to be sympathetic and supporting of each other in sharing advice. Our problems have so many difficult aspects to them. I cannot think that anything would offend me.
If it's concerning your problems, may be we have same or similar, and it needs just someone to bring it out. Be brave!
Thank you for your kind responses. I wondered if any of you have ever used any substances as a way of staying awake and keeping up with everyone else? (And I don't mean medication) x
Cocaine? Heroin, Sleeping pills, wacky backie...... What drug see we talking of? X
I have no experience of taking them but have some knowledge.
What are you looking to know and what drug? X
One thing is if you inject you have serious problems or snorting too x
OK, you've taken the first step. Now can you take the next step and be specific? I assume you're not talking about coffee...
No not coffee, and most definitely not heroin. But i have found that occasionally a small amount of cocaine has helped me to get through certain social events. I'm not proud of it and I don't have a drug problem, I don't really know why I've mentioned it, I guess I'm just curious to see if there is anything anyone else has found to with fatigue. Caffeine just doesn't do anything for me. It never has.
Don't take offence but you are being really
have little knowledge of the drug.
Are you injecting it or snorting it?
Do you share needles?
Where do you get your needles?
Do you have regular health checks?
Have you had,HIV tests?
X
No I don't use needles. No way. It's snorted.
Have you not seen what it has done to
famous celebrities, the have holes in their nasal passages, son can not even smell any longer.
Why are you doing it?
Lack of confidence? X
I dont know - escapism probably. I suffer from depression and have a lot of stress going on with the breakdown of my parent's marriage. It's not a regular thing, it just sometimes gives my energy a boost. I know it's stupid. Anyway, I'm not sure there is much to gain from putting it on here. I appreciate your comments though, thank you x
Take care. Post here any time we are all here for you no matter what

Hi i hope your ok and im sorry that your parents marriage broke down, it must be a hard time for you but taking drugs hisnt the answer
I get you just want the energy to get through the day but each time you take drugs for this you will need to increase the dosage to get the same affect
Its a no win way out and you say you suffer from depression the drugs will only make your symptons worse in the long run.
Have you tried councilling to help with what your going through
We all would like more energy but drugs are not the answer hun, if you want to talk you can talk to me anytime and i know its hard and a struggle i have had my share of upset and heartbreak and now i have cfs.
Take care x
