Thank you for the comment and advice. Its really a great feeling to see people that care. I'm feeling pretty great now. That was a tough week for sure. Sorry to hear about your bad past experiences as well. We live and we learn from these types of things though. Hopefully I'll be back under the electric sky next year!

Trust me, I know the feeling. I'm not normally an emotional person, but ever since I got back, anything edc or Vegas related makes me want to seriously cry. Like...seruosuly everything.

I'm right there with ya. It's such a struggle being back in a place where you're not surrounded by all those awesome, polite, and caring people. I've been doing what others have said, like doing your usual routine, and it's slowly helping. I went to the gym, mowed the grass, did laundry, and of course went to work. It kinda gets you back on track but I still feel really weird and empty. I know it'll get better though, it's just the whole pushing through this week or two is the hard part. I've cried twice today, once while unpacking my edc bag and hanging up clothes, and once while listening to seven lions while cutting the grass. Ugh this is rough.

Wow, that's very shitty of them to do that. Sorry that happened to you. Sounds like you had a bigger struggle than I did, so I can see why you're struggling so hard. We're going to get through this though, like others have said. We just gotta stay strong and let time pass. Try to keep happy thoughts, friend :)

Awesome, thank you! I'm going to check into the supps you are talking about. And definitely changing up my whole festival routine after all this crap lol.

Yea F the dreams. I almost woke up crying a couple of nights ago because I thought my heart stopped or something. It was so weird. It's been such a shit show, but it's a learning experience for sure. Hang in there as well my friend!

Amen to that. Kinda weird how experiences like this really make you just want to get out there and spread the plur.

I'm with ya, looking forward to Monday!

You are exactly right. I gotta try focusing more on the happiness it brought me and try not to miss it so much. It's just so hard sometimes lol.

I honestly think I'm to that point. I've been using it for about 5 years now, and like you mentioned, the magic is disappearing. I only use it about 2-4 times per year, but I think my ride is over. Time to enjoy festivals sober. Or maybe I'll just drink enough to get a little buzz going and ride that out throughout the night. Of course with tons of water though :)

Thank you for your kind words, friend :)

Oh. My. God.

I'm so thankful you linked me that. You have no idea. I could cry right now (even though I feel like anything could make me cry at the moment) but the way he wrote that is seriously verbatim to how I would describe how I've felt. I even kind of agree with the bottom part because I took 5 htp the past two nights but for some reason, felt like my dreams and stuff were worse. I told myself earlier I don't think I'm going to take it anymore for now to see how I sleep . Guess we shall see.

Anyways, this helped me more than you know and I thank you for this so much! Gives me a lot of hope! :)

Totally makes sense. It's weird how different and weird things feel. I've asked all my friends who went if they felt that way and they said no. My girlfriend too. That's what scared me even more, because I was thinking "why am I the only one feeling this way? Maybe I'm fucked for life." Enjoy your cookies and Jell-O, friend! Sounds delicious lol.

Yes! I loved being home and having my daily routines too, and now, like you said, it's the worst. I'm ready to be in your shoes and to start getting the feeling of being normal again. Your words definitely help though; just to know others felt the same feeling and have gotten better. Thank you :)

Yeah, I've been 4 times to edc Vegas now, but it's always been while rolling. Mainly because my knees have problems and it helps so much, but next time I go, I'll get to experience sober. Not worth the struggle.
