Starry Night
I'm thinking of doing drugs?
I have Social Anxiety Disorder and at school I am SO quiet and shy. I can never make eye contact with people, and I am always nervous. I am sick of not being able to talk to friends and classmates and I always feel distanced from everyone at school. A friend said she can try to get me some beer or weed, but I don't know if I should do it and I feel really guilty for considering it... but everyone says drugs make you more confident and outgoing, so I am hoping it would help me open up to everyone at school. I guess my question is should I try it and if I did, how much should I use/ drink so that I can kind of get a buzz but not totally drunk or high?

Thanks 4 your help =)

By the way I have already tried antidepressants for this, they don't work for me

Sparky and Ade:
You don't have to be so sarcastic. The reason I wanted to try this in the first place was so I can open up more to people. By being mean in your answers you are only making me even more scared to open up to people so you're really not helping... but thanks everyone for the quick responses =)

rate now i dont think weed would be the right thing for yea whn some people get high they think everyone is watching them and everyone knows they are cooked. I get like that some times when im high out in public. I dont see why not having a few beers would be t bad thow that might open you up a little just drink till you start talking a bit more and stuff.

ok
whatever you do don't do drugs
you will lose all your friends which will proablly lead to cutting yourself
ok.
now when you do drugs you basicly throw your life away
you spend your days not knowing what is going on in life and your famikly will never look at you the same
Things will get very awkward
In fact you will be an outcast and everyone will be like"there is that crackhead" while you walk by
I know you are depressed but try something else
Heck cutting yourself is probally 20 times better than that because you don't throw everything (i don't suggest it though very addictive, I can't stop cutting myself)
Anyway try talking to someone you know will understand
I am shy myself
In fact i can never do anything normal without turnin BRIGHT REd. which makes me even more embarrassed so I am right there with you. plzz don't do it. try running or just try to talk to more people so you can be more socially active. It is workng for me soo far. If you feel comfortable talking to your friends everyday then If you make more friends you will feel more comfortable.
Plllzzzz don't do it
good luck

Ok, first off I must say here in Holland drugs like marijana are perfectly legal, the drinking age is low, and children grow up accustomed to drinking wine at dinner table. And yet alcoholism and drug addiction rates are much lower than in most country.

Drugs and alcohol can help you a little with overcoming your anxiety. But the key is using them in moderation. If you think you might have an addictive personality, you should really steer well clear of them!! There is a fine line between using them to give you that little boost you need and becoming totally dependent on them.

It can be hard having a quiet personality. But sometimes its just part of nature, something we learn to accept and grow comfortable with. What is most important is learning to build a life that you are happy with. The years of teenage peer pressure will soon pass and you will learn to be happy with your own special qualities.

Ok im gonna be completely honest here... I was always a shy person when i was 18 i had had enough of it and i took xtc. This gave me the best time of my life so i contiuned doing it and made alot of close friends but this also open the window to try new things so instead of just taking xtc i was also taking speed, ice, coke and weed. Look nothing bed ever happened to me and the comedowns were bearable but i could never concentrate. Im now 22 and i decided last yr that i wasnt gonna do drugs every weekend and for me it was easy not to touch them. I havnt touched them in about 6 months but i do miss them and the social interactions i had.
My advice is dont do it because u might not be as lucky as me and u may find ur self in trouble with addiction, Not everyone experiences drugs the same way

well i think someone should always try new things but drugs are really not the way to go i mean if you really think long and hard about it and you believe that it is the only eay for you and you really want to and you know the consequences do it but i highly suggest not to because it doesn't (in the long run) lead anywhere good

no you shouldn't do drugs or drink they are addictive and do you really want to live with that for the rest of your life?
they wont make you more cool you will just end up making a fool of yourself and you will regret it.
and no matter how much you try to hide it your parents will find out.
have you tried getting counseling for this? you should it will help.oh and did i mention that drugs and under-age drinking are illegal?!!!! if you do either you will be braking the law and that's a very big deal!and that guilt isn't going to go away. drugs and alcohol will just make the situation worse.

DON'T!!! ppl say tht drugs make u confident and outgoing, but what they really do is trick the brain into THINKING that, and besides, the effects are only temporary. and, when your brain is tricked, ppl usually aren't aware of what they are doing, it damages your health, (and trust me, if ur just on the verge of dying, u wont care if ur confident at tht moment...) AND, u may think its the right thing 2 do, *when ur high* but honestly, its usually not! because when u r taking drugs, it mixes up all of your emotions, (EMO much?!) it makes u get headaches (OWWW!!!) confusion (do'h!) and A LOT MORE!!1 MY POINT IS, DONT DO IT!!!

p.s. just try going out with friends more, and u wont b as nervous. my friend is in 7th grade, and she has the same prob. shes gets better everytime we go 2 the mall! :) LOL really, try it

Well I can sort of see your logic. Prescription drugs didn't work for you, so maybe recreational drugs will. I know a guy who was on antidepressants and drank and he STILL didn't feel any better.

But over the past few weeks he's been changing that with diet. He discovered that his anxiety problems were linked with a B vitamin deficiency. Ever since taking a B-complex vitamin, he found himself to be incredibly calmer and his anxiety went away.

You might find the same thing works for you. People are always in need of good nutrition, and even though drugs/alcohol can give short term buzzes or feelings of euphoria, they really steal a lot of nutrition from the body and can be hazardous in the long run. Nutritional deficiencies can cause several symptoms, including anxiety.

Instead of going down the long path of trying to figure out what drug works best, you can cut out some foods from your diet that might have created some of the anxiety in the first place, such as drinks with a "sugar substitute" like Aspartame, Equal, Splenda, etc. Instead, try whole fruit smoothies mixed in a blender or drink some pineapple juice.
Getting rid of anxiety can be as simple as eating a few more bananas or chewing on some raw mint leaves.

I felt the same way as you do when i was younger and i went down that road, now i am in recovery... my life has never been better, because i had to look at what is going on inside of me, why did i feel like i didn't fit in, no self esteem and every thing that goes along with it...

I take meds, for mood swings and it took time to find the right ones that worked for me please don't give up..

Doesn't sound like a good idea at all. Drugs and drinking don't solve anything they just make your problems even bigger. You might have problems with being social now but if you get into drugs and stuff then you might end up having problems with being addicted or teachers/parents finding out that your on stuff. Trust me don't do it.

You only interact better with people who are also doing drugs. Problem is they are expensive, and illegal. You need a safe place to stay when your high. Drugs go best with sex, and you'll need to consider that. There's pregger problems,and std's by the car load. Friends who have drugs as a common bond can easily get sideways with each other over the drugs, and a bad time is had by all. You may really get off on drugs, and then it's a lifetime of finding, paying for, and then doing drugs in a manner that won't get you divorced, busted, or broke. But a lot of people manage it, and wouldn't have it any other way. I won't make the recommendation of not doing what you think you must do, but on one subject I would like to advise you. Do not mix drugs with alcohol. Period. Believe me on this one. Look around you. The boozers are a mess. Druggers on booze don't live long. If you wanted an alternative, I'd say spend some real money on a road bike, as in a TREK 21 speed, get the clothes, helmet, gloves, do dads that go with it, and ride yourself over to a club, and learn to ride the roads of America. It will have a marvelous effect upon you. It's a real rush. Plus you can stuff yourself stupid with food, and still lose weight.

It'll never help you my friend.

Better you should look for medical help, drugs are not for helping in this situation. If you want to do drugs, do it in your best way .. when you are really felling great, and without any psicological doubts, or you'll fell worst than before ... Belive in me!

Good Luck!

Oh sure yah, go ahead and do drugs. Now instead of being shy and quiet, you can make a complete a** out of ur self in school by being drunk. Wow, ur gonna earn alot of friends and respect that way. Drugs and beer will make all your problems go bye-bye.

Oh but wait a second! What if you start drinking beer and doing weed in school, and then You might possibly start doing other things and then totally mess yourself up. Oh and its also illegal, but who cares right? Look, kiddo, heres the tough love: think of what ur "Friend" just said to you. What kind of a friend are they if they suggest you do something that can hurt you? Being quiet and shy is OK. But if your really concerned about this, talk to a doctor or someone like that. You have to be a real dick wad to turn to drugs and alcohol to get rid of your problems. Are you a low enough person to do that? Think about that and then decide if you should do drugs and alcohol.

think of the situation this way. look how hard for you resisting drugs is now and you are NOT even hooked on them yet. i dont care why you want to do them. now, im not going to lie, weed is not a dangerous drug to do when taken responsibly, but because you have anxiety taking any drug, no matter how little risky it is, can become a habit for you.

Okay, that is for sure NOT a good idea. I have worked in the addiction field for 15 years and have seen way too many cases of how drugs can ruin your life. You think you have anxiety now, wait until you don't have enough drugs or have to come down off them....you will think what you are experiencing now is like a walk in the park. Don't do it. Go see your doctor and talk about the underlying causes of your anxiety and maybe they can help.

Although you have tried antidepressants, I wouldn't give up on prescription medications just yet. The drugs and alcohol that your friend is recommending aren't going to cure your social anxiety, they are just going to numb you out.

There is no way to know how you will react to any amount of alcohol; everyone is different. Women react more quickly than men. Being drunk or high won't make you any less nervous, it will simply make you lose your inhibitions for that period of time. You might do something stupid. So if you are going to get drunk/high just so you can feel better around other people, does that mean you are going to be that way all the time? Cause as soon as you come down, the same ole you is back.

I recommend you try to talk to someone about your fears. There is an underlying reason for SAD, and your anxiety and nervousness are only symptoms of a deeper problem. I am not a professional and I would not try to tell you what to do, but I have tried to use drugs and alcohol to make me different. It didn't work - it just complicated things more. I finally had to force myself out of my shell, but I had to have professional help to do it. It wasn't the easiest thing I have ever done and it is an ongoing process.

Good luck to you.

honestly i would not use drugs or beer to get more confident. I am also a shy person but i have overcome most of it with just doing something even if i think others will think I'm stupid and it usually works. the reason i would not use drugs or beer is because alcohol is a natural depressant and it will only make things worse. And the drugs are highly additive so once you do it you will be consumed with it so you will be even more distant.

Why in the world would you do that???

Are you ready to be a human guinea pig???

You'll be playing russian roulette with your life.

Drugs do NOT make you confident...they temporarily make you LOSE inhibitions. They cause physical, mental and emotional addictions. Not to mention cause brain damage along the way or even death. If you want a sure way to LOSE any confidence and self respect then drugs will do that to you. Drugs will cause whatever anxiety you have 100 times worse in the long run.

If you're thinking of doing drugs.....then remember to think of maybe DYING too.

Don't do it...

Beer or weed is not gonna help. You may think it will help you escape your problems or fit in but it won't. Trust me, I'm a college student. I do both, but not habitually. Only at social gatherings and such when everyone else is doing it, call me a hypocrite but I know better than to use it as an escape from reality. It doesn't help. I feel happier and have better times when I DONT drink or smoke weed and the important thing is I realize that whereas my friends have this false illusion believing that it brings them pleasure. It does, but not the same kind of genuine happiness you get from life and laughing with your friends or playing video games at each others houses, going on a roadtrip with your buddies. Chances are if you're using it escape depression you're gonna end up a drunkie or drug addict. Trust me kid, there's lots of great things in life you dont need that crap. In the future when you grow up you're gonna have to speak to many people, confront them, social skills are very important in this current society both in career and in friendship. Maybe you go to a school full of deuschebags who knows but don't lose all hope. I'm an extremely outgoing and social guy I make so many friends I can barely keep up with old ones but I love it. Everyone I know plays a role in my life I would never have thought, either helped me in some way, are connected to a future event that I enjoy, helped me meet other great people I mean it's wonderful and a lot of fun. Thats far better than any heineken or purple haze you will ever get. Why do people go crazy when theyre stuck on an island by themselves like Tom Hanks in cast away? I bet if I gave you beer and weed you would kill yourself faster, we NEED social interaction in our lives. In zombie movies people always look for OTHER survivors. People arent that bad, there ARE assholes out there but just because a black man robs you doesnt mean they all do (couldnt think of a better example). I'm spending my time writing you this because I want to be able to help at least someone with their life and I dont want your life to go in the wrong direction knowing I had a chance to help you. That's the kind of person I am and maybe that will inspire you that there is no shame in meeting people. Who cares about being popular and **** I was popular but I had more fun hanging out with my lesser social value friends than I did the "cool kids". You gotta know what real happiness is kid, not what everyone tells you is. I hope I helped otherwise I spent five minutes on this for nothing, yes I am a fast typer.
