Do you think that your use affected your mood disorder? Let's start the poll with you.
1. Did you feel supported/loved as a child from your parents/caretakers?
2. Is there a history of mental illness in your family?
3. Were you moody as a child?
4. When and why did you start using street drugs?
5. Do you feel that these substances affected your neuro chemistry either positively or negatively?
6. If you hadn't used these substances do you think your mood disorder would be the same or different now?
7. Do you still use or get the urge to use these substances?Or something like that. I don't know about Yahoo, unless you want to go outside the Board. Perhaps just putting out on a new thread on the Psycho-Babble board would get takers. Sometimes it takes a few go arounds to get the ball rolling.
> I've tried both meth and coke- even though they are structurally very similar, the meth made me a lot more edgy. The meth users I knew as a group seemed quite paranoid and angry, I didn't see that in coke users. This could be a reflection of price- coke was very expensive in the late 80's early 90's and meth was not- so you had a culture of party coke users who usually held fairly good jobs to pay for their product. It also could be a result of how it was taken, those who free-based coke tended to isolate themselves more than those who snorted, just like the people who injected meth were much more hard-core. The heavy meth users I knew did have delusions I didn't see in coke users (but this is just personal experience).
