I've never heard anyone else suggest this idea but i'd like to put it forward....
I find comedowns really useful. The reason for this is that I used to suffer with depression for absolutely no good reason. Just for no reason i would find myself working myself up into a feelings of inadequecy and patheticness. However since I began pilling I find that the comedown on a monday is a really useful tool for myself. I find that by subjecting myself to a spell of depression I've learnt how to deal with it. It helps to know that by wednesday I'll feel right as rain but I try and psychologically beat the depression and not suffer too much. Then when i ever feel a bit low in the real world I can apply the same attitude to beat those feelings and get on and enjoy life.
I don't take pills very often - maybe once a month at most.
I know that this was quite a hippyish post but there u go. I've never heard anyone else suggest it.

there are people in the anything goes room a few doors away who could read this.
my problem was believing that i never had to come down..off anything. and i didn't for years. i've finaly landed and i quite like reality. with a little weed and alcohol.
been an honest lazy stoner since 1986. mr respectable and all that and i like it. still smoke and grow and drink to much. but i didn't want a bloody halo anyway.
the next train arriving at platform two.....
