LOL...I don't know you, but I've "babysat" a number of (when sober) seriously fucked up individuals...they came out just fine. Granted, two of them had to be force-fed NyQuil so they'd pass out because things had gone in particularly bad directions for them, but they were okay when they woke up...they even turned out to be better people, even after their bad trips.

The others, tho, were easy to calm with coloring books and crayons... it seems that the pseudo-creation of "making things pretty" gives them something to focus on that's entirely pleasant (especially since the picture is already drawn for them), and that definitely has a calming effect. In no time at all, each of them had finished coloring one picture, and were able to get right back into the swing of the trip. It worked out :)

I'm a good babysitter...when I used to trip a lot, I always had a "kit" in a bookbag, including NyQuil and coloring books and crayons...fun, pretty things, plus a way out if things are too funky.

You'd be okay with the right people (and babysitter) with you. You just need people you trust.

I think that he thinks that b/c of my some of my natural mental instabilities that I will have a "bad trip". Unfortunately, the only person I "trust" to have this experience with is completely unwilling to do so.

Thank you for the suggestions. Btw, I like to color when not "fucked up" on anything. I find it extremely relaxing. But then again, I'm strange. :P

Then we're both strange... I love coloring! I even have a colored-pencil addiction :)
