when things begin to slip...

its a weird situation, not like a low or a lull as such. its more like when you've been clubbing and after the pill(s) are over and you're at someones house and you're drinking beer, when its about 10am and then you start walking home and you just feel...untethered/loosened (mild mania perhaps?).

it is interesting because you can actually see it beginning to happen, and make the effort to contain it. and all the weird things that didn't seem to affect as much as you thought they would suddenly have an odd, cumulative, effect. and you're not really sure what is actually going to come next...

you sure it's not a flashback of sorts?

Sounds like a lark--I'll have to cultivate that approach in future. Seriously, I totter home after dawn at least once a week, but usually by that time my blisters are anchoring me firmly to reality. I like the idea of watching the surreality unfold.

I'm not sure from the question whether you actually enjoy experiencing this post-pill state-of-mind or not, but if you'd rather remain grounded I always found (back in my ecstasy-gobbling youth) that nothing restores a sense of reality as effectively as a couple of co-codamol.

This is why I pissed on the floor that night ages ago. I'm pretty sure, my biggest fear is that I'd gone so mental (the pills that night having been unbelievably strong and dangerously conducive to mental lunatic behaviour) gone so mental that I pissed on the floor in some kind of lunatic triumph. I was so wrecked I could imagine jumping out of bed like some kind of techno caveman and pissing on the floor of my room with my arms aloft.

I find if you roll a heavily packed joint before you go out and leave it in your room, or if you smoke a bit on the way home or something it puts you to sleep, or if you're staying up tends to kill this odd feeling. That is if you're talking about what I think you are. I find I get a kind of giddy distracted feeling. Not just in general....:)

Yay, drug psychosis! Best you enjoy it now before your brain says bye- bye for good...

Actually, even better than that is it being 10am post-clubbing and you find yourself in a history lesson at school, when, as you put it, 'things begin to slip'. Its like walking through warm treacle backwards, in public, with an untethered gob, in front of a so- called authority figure. Ah, quite beautiful and visceral (and quite amusing for the fellow classmates, I'd imagine)

its nothing to do with drugs. was using an analogy.

(I don't do drugs either, BTW.) This is why I don't go out at night. I can't deal with that feeling.
