Re: Do you use recreational drugs? (not including alcohol)
@Skive sounds sensible to me! Do you mind me asking often you use now?
Hard to say but no more than once every couple of months. Mostly MDMA, though have done some mushies recently. And microdots back in the summer.
I tend to stay well away from coke. I only ever use it as a tool to sober up when I’ve drunk too much, which itself is quite rare.
The only drug that has negatively impacted my life or mental health is cannabis and haven’t smoked that for 20 years.

Re: Do you use recreational drugs? (not including alcohol)
I used to take cannabis in different forms. Smoking it . Eating it. But my friend got sectioned recently due to a mental health relapse.
This now puts me off as I get bad symptoms too. Especially paranoia.
A few months ago I used to snort cocaine. Don’t worry I’m not telling you this because I want to look cool. In fact it’s the opposite, it made me a mess. I was financially, mentally and physically struggling. One time I had a panic attack because I had a lot in one go. Paramedics came and my heart was racing like crazy. I thought I was going to have a heart attack.
All I’m going to say is don’t do drugs. Try to get a natural high from exercise and meditation.

Re: any suggestions for an extra gcse option
@libbystrawberry just to add in that it's always worth doing the subjects you enjoy most! When you've got a lot of revision / coursework to do it'll be more motivating if you actually find the information interesting
thats the thing tho i dont find any subjects interesting and i dont enjoy any subjects which is why im more confused
