Yeah I only know a couple people who were prescribed Ritalin as youngsters and just because both of them had major adjustment problems later in life (even tho very intelligent) two doesn't a case make.

-Skim this post fast if you wish, it doesn't hold much information related to the original post-I have so far seen a lot of great posts in this thread and i am extremely impressed. It has been quite some time since I've had the chance to see and be involved in one single post that brings out this many great suggestions, and in general overall great advice and support, even more so considering how short a period of time it has been. Though most of you do not know me, probably because i frequent OTD and Other Drugs more often then not, i assure you that me saying this means a lot. I highly doubt you will find me saying anything like this very often, even if you look, you will be hard pressed to find any posts anything like what Ive posted in this thread. Even though its going on 6 years since i have signed up, I rarely have been given an opportunity to respond like i have so far.I doubt I would have even come up with some of the thoughts i did if it weren't for some of the other posts. So just know that it really means a lot to me, and that you guys getting me to say that its means a lot to me, is a feat in and of itself! Whether you guys are helping me, or someone else, it is good to see so many people trying to help. Just a general thanks  This includes the original poster for coming forward knowing that he may have a problem, and the fact that he is seeking help. Even though it may be easier to say something on the internet sometimes, I'm sure it still was not that easy for you to post this, taking in account some of the problems so far that you've mentioned.If im wrong, then i apologize. But if anything else that should show at least show you how strong you actually are. That is DEFINITELY something to think about. Though im not saying you are, social quirks/flaws, being shielded by someone or how people have treated you so far is absolutely NOTHING for YOU to be ashamed of, maybe them but certainly not you. So, even though things could surely use improvement, you are not the one that put yourself in the position that you are in. So me saying the "problems" you have, is not the same thing me as saying someone has a drug problem. Because this is not your fault, not by a long shot, definately not anything you could even have realized was much of an issue at the time, or even prevented it, well at least i highly doubt that you could. It took me a very very long time, to get to the point that you are at now, once you realize there is a problem, and that you need help, you are not far off from getting at least an incredible start on things. If not far off from getting things fixed, though obviously not over night. But believe me when i say, where you are at now is probably a whole lot farther then what you are actually thinking that it is. Getting help is easy when you know there may be a problem, on the other hand it is hard to fix something if you don't know that it is a problem. Like i said, just know that alone takes a lot of courage, it really does. . So that we don't get on a topic of medicines and what does and does not work, i just wanted to clarify that of course no medicine is an end all solution, or does one always work for someone else as it did for you. So even though I don't support Ritalin use as a use of 'fixing' things, I am not saying it doesn't work. I don't want this thread to stray too far off topic, so like i said I'm really impressed, and want the posts to continue to be as relevant to the original posters questions, and the following ones as possible. Though I'm sure if he has any questions about what medicines he should definitely stay away from, we could definitely compile a list! lol. But until then, please keep the great posts coming. Not intended for any one person. I am even including myself as well. But overall in general this thread has tons of great posts so far that could definitely help if you think about them, and try and incorporate them into how you perceive things. That along with professional help will do wonders. Seriously where you are at now, i don't see you being that far off from figuring out a solution to at least some of the issues that you mentioned. I believe i read that you said you have a few friends that are supportive of you and don't understand why you don't have more friends. I'm sure these people will definitely be able to give you a helping hand, if you don't feel comfortable, like Ive said previously feel free to message me anytime. I know at least one other person in here said that they would help in anyway that they could, I'm sure everyone else would as well. So no matter what, you have support, and like ToiletDuk said you are definitely NOT alone.

Were just doing our best here, but lets not forget that our best is a mix of what we want to do, firstly, with what we were given to do it with. I speak the truth i've discovered, and trully i would like to say that i know your intentions are good when you show thanks, but i am this, i am a helper because i am doing my best to help those who i feel like helping. This is the truth and you never need to appologize and say thanks for the truth, the only thing truth requires is acceptance. So instead i ask you accept this as what it trully is, an expression of who i am - in no way better but only different and unique, from other forms of expressions of truth, so beautifully discovered. ^.^
Love for all! J

The mind is a creative tool. It searches to protect you, through message sensations(feelings). It is no different than a computer, you need to make sure its anti-virus program is in check and that it doesnt have a script that limits your experience, because of to much precaution.
And remember the computer does not appear to respond to words of anger and frustration - just give it input, in the form of new meanings that you know to be true and its messages to you and the limits it lays out for you, will change.
Guilt is an outcome of believing you are the cause of the problems.
Yet, we are not a cause to something, we see is negative or bad - Unless you believe your intentions are directed towards a bad outcome....

Though i do agree with some of the things you said, not only was i trying to say thank you, whether you need to be thanked or not, by me saying so means more then you could ever imagine. If i did not feel so strongly i would not have made that post. But since i did, and i did feel so strongly, i felt it important to MYSELF to issue an all inclusive thank you.
Also in doing so, this being so important in ANY community, i wanted to make sure that anyone else who might read this thread in the future understand how important it is, to actually step up to the plate and try to offer as much insight as possible.
So i understand what you meant, and your good intentions, but i have several reasons for posting as such.

And i accept that you feel it nessecary to do so! All i am trying to convey in this message is that in i am no different at core with other beliefs, even such as those of terrorists. Both i and them are of the same mind, of the same purpose, to live truth to our highest capacity or our best, within the experience and from our experience. This is what is, even tho it is not what it seems. Good intentions are expressions of truth and it is our right to choose for ourselves which decisions are true and untrue, which to express ie/ as being a helper or a terrorist, yet, both of these seemingly different expressions have the same foundation and logic, which is from what i have discovered is our nature: thinkers and feelers that do our best to move towards the the truth we have discovered and express is. Accepting this is for me through my experience and from my best guesse, no different than accepting 1=1. Beautiful. Love for all! ^.^ JLM

One again I'd like to thank everyone for their continuous support. I honestly was not expecting such caring replies.
While I realize no man can ever be self-sufficient, I believe a lot of growth I have done has been in large part due to my own guidance.
One of the most eye-opening experiences I've had was on mushrooms. I truly believe psychedelics to be a great healer when used appropriately.
Today is going great so far and I intend on trying to keep a good mindset. I even started singing at work again (lol my coworkers love my voice actually).
No mishaps because I didn't think about them.
On a further note after organic II (this class is hard. nevermind my post on I. thx to extra credit points i got a 96. whew), I plan on doing a mescaline self voyage.
This way I will have no other engagements after or during the trip :-). Once again thank you all for helping me see that I am not a misfit.
