[A Better Tomorrow]

Over-indulgence in rich foods, sweets, alcohol to alter mood, to socialize, and for emotional consolation. Lack of physical activity. Bulimia. Depressants. Tobacco, prescription drugs, or heroin for social anxiety. Cosmetic surgery to erase rejected features.





Lack of physical activity...check.
Depressants....check.
Prescription drugs...check.
Cosmetic surgery....check...I got my nose fixed when I was 20..I barely fractured it during baseball and used that as an excuse to have it "fixed".

Hello all.
I found an interesting article about the enneagram types and drugs.
It's told, for every single type, the drugs that it might consume or become highly dependent.



Type 5 The Investigator
Poor eating and sleeping habits due to minimizing needs. Neglecting hygiene and nutrition. Lack of physical activity. Psychotropic drugs for mental stimulation and escape, narcotics for anxiety.

Sounds a bit like me, I would never do drugs though...

Mine's pretty accurate, except replace "narcotics" with "alcohol".
I've even felt guilty for using drugs for mental stimulation [i.e. I was bored] Some people have serious addictions.. me, nope, just get bored and mess around.

Type 7 The Enthusiast
The type most prone to addictions: stimulants (caffeine, cocaine, and amphetamines), Ecstasy, psychotropics, narcotics, and alcohol but tend to avoid other depressants. Wear body out with effort to stay "up." Excessive cosmetic surgery, pain killers.

Yeah, that's a pretty accurate description of my drug history (except I never got into amphetamines).

[Spades]

Done most; no regrets, no addictions, only awesome times.


Edit: Okay, mild caffeine addiction.

Type 6 The Loyalist
Rigidity in diet causes nutritional imbalances ("I don't like vegetables.") Working excessively. Caffeine and amphetamines for stamina, but also alcohol and depressants to deaden anxiety. Higher susceptibility to alcoholism than many types.

I never liked the taste of alkohol :\. I got drunk only once (because drinking was cool at age 18) and vomited from it. I swore I don't care if it makes me awkward I'd never drink over the limit ever again. And so it has been for 7 years.

As for nutritional imbalances, I actually dislike sweet stuff, especially cake and the like, love vegetables *shrug* and crave them, eat in moderation and never eat unhealthy. I don't drink coffee or take drugs. I have this saying that my natural moodiness can swing into both wonderful and horrid mental states (sometimes experience euphoria and emotional highs <., which may be odd...but it sure beats pumping myself full of crap I'll regret in the future....ofc i can be extremely melancholic and suffer dark moods...somehow i find them beautiful thou (is that 4-ish?) )

^^ hell I even sleep the recommended 6 hours before 4;30 and 8 hours a day because I want to take advantage of hormone levels to achieve maximum benefit from sleep.

One would think that me being 614 would make me really fucked up health wise <.< but I'm one of the healthiest people I know. ^^ my teeth for example are 100% healthy ....hmm kinda sounding Sp-ish here lmao. (thou I suffered for it a lot, it was worth it. I'm not afraid of pain if it makes my life better)

I think that in stead of other stuff I rely more on my "whatever comes my way I'll face it"attitude. Gotta give creds to me thinking that suffering through crap makes one stronger.

Yeah lol I'm one fucked up Sp/Sx for sure XD ahahahah!


....I wanted to change my jawline and nose.....decided to just get into self defense (for training) and to grow a stylish manly beard type thing like one of my work colleges. I don't know how guys survive without facial hair. I feel naked without it.

Looking good isn't an option anymore :P hehe...25 years haven't gone by without several scars on both arms, back...right and left torso...damn. Do chicks dig guys with scars and stories behind them?

[Swordsman of Mana]

other than alcohol, the only drug I've really tried is camilla sinensis, and I'm hooked

It's rarely unhealthy to get cosmetic surgery, even if it's for "rejected features." That can produce more psychological benefits than years of therapy.

The "drug habits" for type 1 do not fit me at all.

Interestingly enough, my type 5 husband and type 9 hypnotist match these patterns fairly closely. Currently, my "drug habits", for the most part, seem to be a combo of what is described for types 6 and 9, although I do not drink alcohol at all. I've had a very strong desire to just "be numb and not feel anything", as of late, so that may explain things.

ETA: My eating has been totally screwed up since January. Food makes me nauseous, and I continually lose weight, despite not wanting to. Am currently getting this investigated. I have no prior history of eating disorders. I was a picky eater as a young child (still can be, but that somehow managed to work itself out for the most part).

The type 7 drug habits describe my sister fairly well. And she binge drinks (or at least, she did for years). I believe she is 6w7.
