*Disclaimer: This is not to bash any person or product. I'm assuming it's A1 that caused my problem? I should be more careful.*
I love testing new stuff and seeing the interesting results on myself and others! Since I began using pheromones I've never had any kind of serious reactions or negative feelings from any of the products I've used from XS or androtics that I couldn't handle. I've read about buffering molecules to reduce problems and I figure that most of the retail products won't really bother me. So, it didn't occur to me that using Core would have any serious negative effects.
I was terribly wrong.
I tried 2x sprays of Core on my neck (over lotion) on Tuesday of this week. At first, I felt a nice hit of a happy feelings on my drive to work. However, after about an hour at work, I started feeling sleepy and tired. I ended up falling asleep at my desk 3 or 4 times throughout the day and was lethargic all day long (a coworker actually mentioned it the next day.) I just chocked it up to all the work I've been doing around the house after work.
When I got home after work that night, I scrubbed with witch hazel, then with dove unscented bar soap and then a good rinse with warm and cold water. I felt a little better and felt kind of stupid for not washing it all off at work when I noticed a problem. I thought that would be the end of it (hey I washed it off right!?) I still felt so tired that I laid down at 7:30pm for "a quick nap" and slept until my alarm went off at 6am the next morning...
I showered and washed app points again with bar soap, just in case. I decided it was a good idea to take the day off from wearing anything. What I didn't realize was there was a very real depression that had been creeping up on me. I felt zero motivation to do anything and a total indifference to the entire world. Zero work got done at my job that day. After I got home and feeling kind of desperate, I sprayed some IShine on my throat and in about 15 minutes, like clockwork, I felt better. I actually felt like doing some house work. I left it on until this morning.
Today, I am back to normal and feeling fine. WHEW!
I've always been upbeat and approach things with good (or dark) humor. Whilst being evaluated for ADHD in college, the psychologist said that people diagnosed with ADD symptoms almost always have some form of bi-polar that has to be treated (with drugs of course!) I had to spend almost 2 months convincing them that I wasn't bi-polar and that I was just normally upbeat and happy. Since I didn't show any signs of depression after all their testing and questions, they 'decided' I must be manic. I spent even more time explaining/defending the fact that it's totally normal for me to feel good most of the time. After a lot of needless drama over a nonexistent emotional problem, I found new doctor that listened to me and worked with me.
My point is that I'm no stranger to intense situations or the use/abuse of stimulants throughout my life, especially after many years of self-medicating with various forms of caffeine and alcohol! I know that alcohol is a depressant, but I'm a happy drunk!
So something like a 5-Hour energy drink combined with a lot of P75 sounds like fun to me! (Like something I'd rock out too with Fuel jammed to 11!)
Real Depression is another matter...
I don't think I've felt what being truly depressed is, and I felt so depressed that it scared me. This is a reminder to be careful of what pheromone limbs I decide to crawl out on!
I'll still be trying out new stuff of course, but with some renewed caution. (I'll be staying away from CrushXS!)
