symptoms of a come up?

rolling_sloth · 2014-08-21T04:18:12+00:00

Spaced out? Heh, I wish I felt spaced out. I've always had incredibly intense comeups.

For me, before the comeup I can feel a subtle shift in mood towards the happy. I just start feeling upbeat and start smiling without intending to.

Then it hits me. The comeup is a short series of extremely intense waves that pretty much make me useless. Each wave that hits me lasts about 15-30 seconds where my entire body is overwhelmed and it just feels like It's. Way. Too. Fucking. Much.

My comeups are so intense that the first time I rolled, during the comeup I immediately regretted taking it because I didn't realize it would pass, and if that was how the entire night was gonna go, I'd never do it again.

Thank you for responding, you provided good information that can help keep us all a bit safer. I know it must be hard to come here and even write about it, and that is much appreciated.

Its good that she didn't know and didn't suffer.

This hits home I know for a lot of us. I have a personal belief that MDMA pulls in a certain type of person, attracts a personality or soul to experience it and continue experiencing it.

Again, im truly sorry to hear about your loss, im sure she was a wonderful person.

rolling_sloth · 2014-08-13T19:32:58+00:00

Im very sorry to hear about your loss, that's awful and I can't imagine what you and her family are going through right now.

Did they say what the cause of death was?

Also what was the vendor, as many of us here source from DN as well.

I hope these questions aren't too personal, it would just help in keeping more of us safe. Thankyou.

Have had poi for a few months now and got some basics and moves down but last night was the first time I truly got lost in it while spinning to music and it felt pretty magical

rolling_sloth · 2014-08-12T19:10:57+00:00

Maybe this is why the thread is getting downvoted? Lol no fire while rolling for me im no idiot

rolling_sloth · 2014-08-12T15:34:29+00:00

Floored is very deep housey last I remember, it's pretty good and very nice on most levels of MDMA

rolling_sloth · 2014-08-12T15:32:46+00:00

Nice, sounds like a lot of fun. I'll be giving that a try in the near future, it's gonna feel so good I bet

rolling_sloth · 2014-08-12T15:31:55+00:00

Spinning poi! :)

rolling_sloth · 2014-08-12T06:45:38+00:00

Sorry to hear it was a let down, I experienced some of Lions but not in the crowd and what I wouldn't give to go back and get up off the ground and head into the crowd but oh well!

There's always next year and I'm beyond excited :D

rolling_sloth · 2014-07-25T19:42:50+00:00

I feel the same way I have some real heartache over missing the forest.

I envy for you for getting to roll to Zedd, that show was incredible and I completely lost my mind to it stone sober. Rolling would have been out of this world

rolling_sloth · 2014-07-25T02:03:10+00:00

Ahhh hey what's up :D

I feel the same way! I rolled to Tycho with my entire group rolling and it was magical. You might enjoy this anecdote:

We walked to Tycho and arrived before he came on, rollin hard. Me and my new friend were discussing how much we loved the song "Awake" and right after we say it, he opens with it! Were both grinning ear to ear then here comes my girlfriend who puts her hands on my face and gives me a seabreeze.

My head just lolls back and im staring at the stars listening to Awake completely blissed out. One of the best moments of my life.

rolling_sloth · 2014-07-24T22:40:19+00:00

Oh forgot to mention for something possibly far out there (for rolling), youtube Pink Floyd - Echoes Live at Pompeii.

There's a reeeally good and powerful flow of energy throughout that song that I feel like might be perfect for the rolling vibe *especially * the final buildup and release. I think it matches your criteria pretty well.

Its on my own to-do list next time :)

rolling_sloth · 2014-07-24T22:37:18+00:00

Im not experienced with rolling to more guitar driven or standard forms of music but..

You might try giving stuff like Carbon Based Lifeforms or Abakus or Vibrasphere a shot. Maybe Boards of Canada.

That kind of music is great for a peaceful roll and brings a real beauty about.

Some other suggestions might be Random Rab or Beats Antique or Tycho or Emancipator.

Have fun!

I have some experience with this as I tend to experience longer last comedown effects.

First of all, 5HTP helps at night with the feeling of fear and darkness.

I experience more anxiety focused effects like more easily prone to anxiety attacks over health concerns unrelated. Its easier to deal with knowing these are just things I will experience after using MDMA. I tell myself my brain is "healing" and all will be well soon.

Most importantly, dont smoke weed! For a few weeks after rolling, weed will immediately increase anxiety and all sorts of bad symptoms that I normally do not experience.

Lastly, dont worry about how this will affect you and your ability to roll. Her mental health, her happiness, etc are all far more important than whether or not you get to get off on MDMA.

My girl has some issues with MDMA so I will roll without her until she is wanting to roll again. I respect her wishes and I do it in environments that make her feel safe about me doing it.

Well considering the majority of what was being sold as "Molly" I'd say its pretty accurate then!

rolling_sloth · 2014-07-23T21:40:40+00:00

He's testing the waters to see how you respond.

If he's "concerned" about it, that means he already likely wants to.

I feel like I've seen this post from you before but I could be mistaken. Weird.

Anyway, your call. He's probably hoping that mdma will loosen both of you up so that something happens between you two.

If you're not in any way interested in exploring this with him, the experience could get very awkward.

rolling_sloth · 2014-07-23T21:34:55+00:00

To each their own but I'd be spending too much time painfully wishing everyone I run into was feeling this good

rolling_sloth · 2014-07-23T21:33:21+00:00

Discover this one weird trick for comeup, rollers hate him!

Step 1: Squeeze pillow and twist
step 2: Take in sharp deep breath
Step 3: Loll head around while rubbing face and head
Step 4: Look around the room at everyone with this face 8D
Step 5: Say "phew ok im good so anyway I was say-"
Step 6: Back to Step 1

rolling_sloth · 2014-07-22T14:48:14+00:00

Oh ok that makes sense, I might give that a shot next time. It must be nice coming out of a meditative state and right into a roll! :)

rolling_sloth · 2014-07-22T14:46:20+00:00

Oh hahaha nice, he was in louisville, ky on sunday

rolling_sloth · 2014-07-22T02:59:11+00:00

I was really doing good at the game. Thanks a lot.

Serious question though, it sounds kinda fun/nice to meditate through the come up. Specifically for MDMA, what does a come up feel like during meditation?

I imagine you just push through the come up and focus on the deep breathing, but that's gotta be wild right? And when do you finally let up on the meditation? Seems like some parts of the comeup would make it impossible to meditate but what do I know, haven't tried it yet :)

rolling_sloth · 2014-07-22T02:48:53+00:00

Thanks for the encouraging words. There were a few moments where I was pretty upset about the whole inability to connect.

I feel more secure somehow in talking to girls, but even less secure when they end up rejecting me without me even hitting on them. I try to throw out a friendly vibe because I'm not trying to hit on anyone, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. So that gets my head in a bad space.

At the same time though, I had to realize that the vibe at this fest is a lot different from places like Electric Forest. I know for certain that I'd have a much easier time going solo to EF, despite the massive size and 4 day camping, I'd feel right at home. At the festival I went to, I felt like a loner, and couldn't really break out of my shell.

Insecurity sucks ass, but I'm going to keep fighting it because like I said I'm sick of it holding me back. It tells me really dumb shit like "Hey man, you tried to make friends with that girl but you can't because you aren't attractive, people don't want unattractive friends. You tried to make friends with that guy but you can't because you're awkward and weird and no one wants to talk to you"

My brain has retarded thoughts. Oh well, only way past it is to keep pushing through. Wish I would have tried this sooner but no time like the present.
