I've done kilos and kilos of laughing gas.

Your theory is actually correct, but idk why whippits work, since it's not mainly serotonergic. More dissociative.

Ecstasy and shrooms and lsd etc are purely serotonergic (affecting the serotonin system) whereas things like coke, speed, etc are dopaminergic. Some are ofc both, like basic meth. That's why ecstasy and shrooms don't have as many addicts, as serotonin isn't similarly addictive as dopamine.

Well not to get too technical.

Anyway you are right. Emotional memory is much like the context of a smell. Right now, you can imagine some strong smell you like, like fresh asphalt, mowed grass, first gf/bf smell. But if you actually smelled it, you'd unlock so many more memories.

So like happiness, you know what it is, you know you've had it, you can basically imagine it and pretend you have it, but unless you actually get out from feeling depressed, you genuinely can't access the memories of times when you were happy instead of bored/depressed. That's why depression is so impossible to beat alone, because it's literally self-feeding when you can't remember being happy and then aren't because you can't.

And all it takes is friends coming to pick you up and have a nice day with you, or if that isn't enough, maybe some medication like two whippits.

Or maybe convince both and go have a nice night out with friends whole doing them.

And if you haven't friends, just get some ecstasy and go to a club/rave/party and male some.

But... I say that. And I do believe it's pretty much as simple as that. But something being simple doesn't mean it's easy. So because I'm depressed and can't remember being happy either, I don't actually believe going to make some friends would help. Even though I kinda know I'd like that on ecstasy.

But then that comes back to "drugs and hotels and whatnot are expensive".

And they say "money doesn't buy happiness." It absolutely does, upto around 100-150k/year. After that it has little to no impact. Wouldn't know but that's what the studies say.

Anyway that's prolly why the whippits works, even though it doesn't make one happy necessarily (although it definitely can, the name is no exaggeration) it at least frees you from the context of being depressed and mind isn't "locked" anymore in that sweet zone for a minute or two.
