        <![CDATA[ Okay so I have had my VS for about three years I think. I get depressed because I know this is the onset of my extensive use of ecstacy when I was 15 and 16 (I
am now 19 and haven&#39;t used in over two years). I forget what life is like without VS. Most of the time I ignore it and just try to live my life, although
it has been bothering me more lately. It&#39;s especially bad when I am in class and looking at a solid colour painted wall. But when I am outside it is
virtually non-existant.... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;m not entirely sure what we have is brought on my drugs. I had my VS before doing any drugs. Sure, when I did ecstacy it made me feel really depressed
for days after but I don&#39;t think it is the cause of what we have.
<br>
<br>
I totally agree about the stupidity/memory/distraction stuff. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ To be honest, I think we&#39;ve all been there, and while I can&#39;t assure if it will get any better, you WILL learn to cope with it. When I first got VS I
had the exact same feelings. I did not feel like the world was worth looking at anymore, like I would never be able to have the future I always wanted; my
future goals never consisted of my compromise with VS. I still feel that way sometimes, but I know very close people to me that also have VS and I see they
walk, talk and think without... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;ve heard from some (Ex-)ecstasy consumers that they feel a bit &quot;stupid&quot; as well after a time of extensive XTC use, but without having VS. It
ain&#39;t proofed if ecstasy could damage the brain anyway, but after everything I heard and experienced on my own I think so.
<br>
I just feel like I have to be concentrated for doing things sometimes. I don&#39;t like the effect of ecstasy / MDMA that much, but I experiment with 5-HTP
(direct preamplifier of serotonin) mixed with... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Maybe to being slow. I do everything slower than everyone else, that is classwork to say. Yet partly by choice. I take my time.
<br>
<br>
Yet by being slow, I&#39;m better than everyone else. I could keep rambling on how in all situations except review games that involve speed, being slow is
superior to doing things fast. The guy who thinks through a problem fast usually misses something stupid. They are more likely to slip up. Used to do things
fast, when challenged with something that takes... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Thanks for the advice. Prior to my ecstacy use, and basically my whole life, I was a straight A student, loved to learn, won many scholar awards, etc. (I
don&#39;t say that to brag or anything). Anyway, even when I was using ecstacy (was a weekend user for a while), I still did good in school and no one could
really understand why. I guess it&#39;s rare when two completely different personality types come together- intellectual scholar and partying, drug user. I
guess I was the outcome. I... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Your story sounds just like mine, only for me it has been ten years. I am still struggling to accept this. My vs started when i was 19 after doing a lot of
ecstasy. I have found it very hard to forgive myself for doing drugs. I am back in school at 27, and I too have a difficult time concentrating...i really feel
stupid at times. However, when I talk to my friends who have never done drugs, they often feel much the same when trying to study. I think that this condition
is very closely related... ]]></description>
