Anyone up for helping me on a research paper?

I've been doing alot of reading lately in psychology and philosophy and find both subjects really interesting. I also have been doing alot of writing, mostly for pleasure and just as some form of emotional release. I've decided to combine the two and assign myself a topic to research. I am doing this purely for pleasure and personal growth.

I decided to focus on emotional disorders, mainly emotional pain and why we as humans hold onto certain emotional pains in life even though they are extremely discomforting. One of the things I'm covering in my paper is how we as humans deal with these issues,such as with therapy, self-help and drug use. What I need from you guys/gals is to share some of your life experiences with drug use and why you chose to use them. Was it for emotional escape? just for fun? peer pressure? Did your drug use give you the sense of release from emotional pain? How would you describe your feeling while on the drug(s)? Also if you have dealt with an emotional disorder such as anxiety, depression, phobia's and such, how do you cope with your disorder? what are some techniques you use in combatant of them?

Im hoping to write a questioner for people to fill out and when I do I'll post it. Or if you give me your e-mail address (pm me with it) I can send it to you that way. You can remain anonymous so don't feel like you need to give me your names and such. If you want to you can e-mail me your responses to nickmarandola@gmail.com/ If your e-mail contains your name and such you can sign up for a free account on hotmail or yahoo. All responses are very appreciated.

If you want you can answer some of the questions I've already asked in this post. That would be appeciated as well.

When I'm done with my paper I will post it for anyone who wants to read it in hopes you learn something or if anything find some interest in the topic. Thanks
