out of curiosity of these users, I'd like to hear about your personalities and whether you are an uppers or downers person. if you don't do those things then maybe uppers/downers in media (scarface vs trainspotting)
wat
As in intoxicants? If so, stimulants all the way. I don’t enjoy relaxation.
I vary between the two. Try to keep my personality like water, able to fit into any situation if possible. Success rate is a little better than middling.
i would live the rest of my life in an opiate bliss if i could, but i'm too neurotic for unabashed addiction

In terms of personality, I am a somewhat quiet, non-reactive person, introverted but not socially inept, drawn to moments of longing or absorbed thought. Like probably most here, I enjoy learning about pretty much everything. I am a closet perfectionist but in reality painfully mediocre and doomed to a nothingburger life. I am a Renaissance [person]/ jack of all trades in a world where that has less than zero utility. I like to think I'm an okay person but other people seem to react very strongly negatively to me, which has been my cross to carry in this life.
As for drugs, I dislike the feeling of stimulants so much I do not even drink coffee or teas with caffeine. I would probably be more of an alcohol user if it did not trigger my seizures. I am definitely a cannabis person, a drug (in its unadulterated form) which matches and accentuates all of those traits I listed above. That is what I use it as, an accentuating agent. If you are thinking that cannabis usage has formed my personality traits, I would like to point out I did not touch the drug until well into my 20s, when my personality was already developed, though I will admit to its infamous calming effect shaping me in a more subtle fashion (I like to think this is maturity instead). I did LSD a couple of times but was not extremely impressed, plus its stupidly long duration means I can only ever take it between 8 and 10 AM. In the future I would like to try mushrooms and perhaps other psychedelics at a low dosage.
I wonder where the discrepancy comes from; between people who take drugs to directly counteract their traits and those who take drugs to accentuate them.
Weed and alcohol made me fat so I had to cut them out. Stims are cool but the crashes are tough and I value my sleep too much to really "abuse" them (I took a reasonable dose of daily adderall for a few years). Nicotine struck a perfect balance but it is an evil evil chemical. LSD was cool until I took too much one time and fried my brain a little bit. Ketamine is alright.
Drugs are great when you can keep them a rare luxury, but that's difficult.

Are you the anon who once told me in the dreaming thread to get my "awake dreaming" to get checked out?

Are you like actually diagnosed with ScPD? Feels contradictory to be on a forum whilst being schizoid.
Schizoid and neither. I drink a glass or two a week which I view as a kind of ticket cost to socializing, which I don't even want to do, but have conceded is necessary. If I need to feel better, or just abstractly want blissful experiences to stave off existential angst, I masturbate or meditate. I'd be willing to try mushrooms largely because I think it might help me make more progress in the latter.

Yes. I don't know how that would be contradictory. If anything, spending a bunch of time on forums as a release valve 20 years ago instead it becoming an noticeable crisis point with my parents is how I became this way. You can also have a personality disorder and be someone taking steps to correct it. That doesn't mean you don't have it, just that you aren't one of the people who wallow online identifying with it instead of willing to get better.

As I've learned to understand the effects of drugs on my body, my mind, and my locus of control, I've learned how to control them. Weed focuses me provided I have intention. I think it focuses a lot of people, but that they focus on the wrong thing. Alcohol is the great social drug, never drink when alone, only drink with people. Never socialize only to drink. LSD is something I may never try again, but I'm not sure that I need to. Set and setting really is true here, but I do think that having a "bad" trip can be productive. Mushrooms are similar for LSD to me, but I'll probably take them again. Being outside on mushrooms is such a nice experience, the only problem is understanding the dosages.

Yes that was me, hopefully I was wrong and your symptoms were benign?
