Pills if you're in a bad mood

I'm sure I've posted something similar a while ago, but I was just gonna ask about people's experiences.
I find I'm constantly stressed at the moment (final year of uni etc), and I just don't really seem to have a good time when I take drugs anymore.
It's not because of tolerance or anything, and to be honest, I leave weeks between taking pills because I'm busy with my studies.
How much of the drug experience is psychological? I realise taking an E isn't gonna be a magic cure and make the night great when I've gone out feeling in a bad mood, but surely it should help in some way?!
I'm also finding lately that it's making me want to go to sleep! If I've had a pill I'm alright for a few hours then I just want to go home and crash, whereas I used to wanna go to afterparties and stay up all morning.
Also, I wonder whether it's the people you're with. I only really take them with my boyfriend and a couple of our mates. But in the last 6 months, things have been difficult between us and I guess it's just not as fun going out and getting wasted together anymore. Maybe it's just the stress, or maybe I just can't be arsed with drugs anymore.
Any thoughts?

When I've taken pills in the past, I've found taking them completely free of any worry makes the experience alot better. I'd stay away from the drugs until you get things straight. I did for a month (a month out of my entire life is nothing!) and I've come out feeling 100x's better. I can do pills now to have a good time, not because I want to forget about life and its ball aches for a night. Your problems will still be there the next day. Problems do seem alot easier to think about on pills and they seem easily resolved, but the next day you realize that they're still there and the comedown only makes it worse.
I don't do them unless I feel happy within myself and how life is going.
I'm sure things will settle down for you, they always do.
Ouch, if she's already feeling stressed and a bit down I wouldn't recommend doing pills and speed. You're only lining yourself up for the motherfucker of all comedowns. Any time I've done that combo it's taken at least a week before I feel any way normal again. Not worth it, especially if you're already under stress.
Pink Soda, mood is everything when you're taking pills. When you're feeling a bit shit they aren't going to have the same effect and you're only piling on the misery with your subsequent comedown. You need to be in a good state of mind and perhaps you should lay off until the stressful things like uni are out of the way. I know next year when I'm in my final year I'll be staying off the drugs sesh as much as possible.
Afew months ago my bf of 2 years dumped me, completely out of the blue and in a horrible horrible way. I was gutted. Then I was given lots of mdma (bear in mind it was good old pure mdma, the pills you are taking will have something to do with the differing effects) and it was close to the highest and happiest i've ever been....
Oh yes I totally agree, it's never as good taking pills in a bad mood. However what I was saying is that they still put you in a better mood, if not good, because at the end of the day the chemicals are still working and giving you that Euphoria and feeling of Ecstasy. If you're in a bad mood when dropping though, yeah you do tend to get really emotional and sad because of the reason you're in a bad mood....but you kind of don't care because you're so mashed and that's what makes it great....if you get me?
But yeah if you don't feel comfortable when taking pills then it will affect your trip.
That said for some people they are just out and out uppers and they do the trick whatever their emotional state, I know people who do sometimes drop to take them out of their funk for a while... and it definitely works for them. It must just depend from one person to another, you have to know your own body and decide to yourself that if they're doing you and your current mood no favours then it's probably wiser to steer clear. If they're not proving fun anyway then it seems even wiser. I'm sure that - if you want to - you'll get back to a place where they have the same effect as in the good old days. Give it time, and listen to your body - it can tell you a lot more about what you should and shouldn't be doing than anyone else really can :thumb:
I imagine mood plays a big part and if the pills aren't working then it might be your body trying to say something? As Richard Ashcroft sang, "The drugs don't work, they just make you worse..." If you are stressed out with uni and the moment I would lay off for a while until you're feeling better.
