Might I suggest a Photobucket account? You can upload with your phone and access the photos on the website.


I use Photobucket as well. It's fast and it's easy to use.

Yeah, the police. Pulled me over, so I was feeling a fair amount of anxiety. Accused me of being high because I was all fidgety and wouldn't meet their eyes for more than a second or two. Kept calling me a liar when I told them I wasn't on anything.

Cuffed me and searched me, and sat me on the curb (this was in front of my apartment building, so all my neighbors could see the whole thing which didn't exactly help with the anxiety) while they searched my car.

By the time they gave up on that, I'd been in the cuffs for over half an hour. They came back to me, started asking again what I was on. Then one said (bear in mind that I'm already cuffed and seated, not being uncooperative in any way) "please don't make me use force sir," and I just lost it. Couldn't hold back the panic attack anymore, started hyperventilating, couldn't speak, couldn't stand when they pulled me to my feet.

They called an ambulance. By the time it showed up, the panic attack had faded somewhat and been replaced by anger. Told them I didn't want to go to the hospital. They tried to force me into the ambulance. Started screaming at them "I'm not on anything, I haven't done sh** and you know it, now take these f***ing cuffs off and let me go!"

Took me to the hospital. Almost an hour cuffed to a gurney in the hall. Talked with a doctor for a bit. Explained that it was a panic attack, explained that they'd been threatening me (god bless him for taking my side). Was tested for drugs, test came back clean. Doctor explained to cops that I was clean, that I was mentally sound, that my reaction was due to the stressful situation I'd been put in.

I'm pretty sure that, at this point, the cops were realizing their mistake. Feared a lawsuit. So they let me go. Took the cuffs off and left. Hospital gave me bus tokens to get home.

Unfortunately, not my only encounter like this with police. Just the worst one.

I was asked in high school if I do drugs if that counts. I think they were just curious than thinking I must be doing them.

Yes, happens whether I'm sober or drugged up on something or other.

yes. oh boy. so many times i've had people suggest that i am "on something". i'm not. i don't need drugs! i mean, which drug could:

....put random strange ideas in my head (i.e. "can time be turned inside out? how about space?")
....make me fixate on inconsequential stuff, especially if it is sparkly or glittery?
....cause impulsive behaviour?
....convince me that stuffed animals are real when a friend makes them talk? Embarassed
....make me forgetful about the stuff i have seen before so it all looks new and exciting again?
....allow me to be entertained for minutes or hours by the floaters behind my eyes or the afterimages on my retinas?
....get me excited that someone's phone number is a palindrome?


... i could go on and on...


I actually can think of a few that can do things like that........lol

I had a job superintendent say things to me in a round about way, as if I were high. This was over 27- 28 years ago and it's a manifestation SCT ( ADHD) that I know of now.

It's a cognitive struggle and your eyes get bloodshot.

Btw, he was real nice to me, as he liked my hustle work ethic. He found odd to jobs for me to do, rather than lay me off, as work was slowing down.
