Ecstasy and depression and religion?

Question

I'm a severely depressed person and an off (off means numb or slightly depressed). My religion has a rule against using drugs, as does the law. I'm not *very* anti-drugs but they just don't make sense to me.

However, I have a few friends that do E lately and talk about how you really bond and it lets you trust better and love better (even after it wears down). I just assumed these are people trying to rationalize their drug use or something,

but then I prayed about it and felt strongly that this is something I should do. I was really confused about that. But now I think that if my brain chemistry is just so messed up that I can't even trust people, and feel connected to noone, maybe this really will help...

I've taken anti-depressants, and E could be like an extreme one. It also was used in therapy with good results...

Thoughts?

Answer 1

Yes you will feel more trusting and loving, even after it has worn off and passed out of you body. They used to use this in marriage counseling and they still would be if it hadn't been made illegal. They still use it on people with post traumatic stress disorder, which it completely cures. And it doesn't cause hole in your brain or any other ridiculous thing like that. If their where holes in your brain you would die. Anyways, me and my husband did it together and we felt closer to each other for quite a while after we loved each other more. in fact we didn't even get into a fight for like 3 weeks after we did it which is rare for us. The main thing is to be in a place that you feel comfortable in mentally and physically, and do it with people you love and care about,  it will make you bond with them, and feel closer to them, also put together a CD of you favorite songs and listen to them while you are on it, you will love it. If you do decide to do it do your homework, and try to get something that one of your friends has already taken, this way you know you are getting E. Sometimes you get bunk stuff and it sucks trust me, get a testing kit if it is something you think you will do alot, better safe than sorry. That is one of the dangers of taking it is that you don't always get it, you get something else. but anyways be safe and have fun.

Answer 2

E is NOT good for depression and in fact can make it much worse.  If you are thinking about drugs, try convential meds like Zoloft, Prozac, etc.  Yeah it makes you feel good while you're doing it, then you feel worse when you come down.  I completely think your friends are trying to rationalize it.  I used to use it too so I know.  I just got older and wiser and know enough now that it's harmful.

Answer 3

You are better off spending your money in legal meds.

That way if something goes wrong you have someone to blame and maybe sue.

Answer 4

Cocaine has also been historically used in therapy. That doesn't mean it works. X is considered a dangerous and medically useless drug. I am having trouble following your train of thought when you say you won't take psychiatric drugs because of your religion but you will take X. X does work on serotonin but in a totally different way then antidepressants. Your body thermometer gets out of whack and people die all the time from doing X. When a drug is not used by medical doctors you can bank on the fact that there is a reason why.
