roller coasters (real ones, not emotional roller coasters)

How do roller coasters make you feel?

When I'm unhappy and tired, and I ride a roller coaster, I instantly feel energetic and content. The effect lasts the rest of the day. I feel lethargic a lot, so it's almost like I need a roller coaster to feel normal. I wonder if this is weird or not.

This might not seem like it has to do with ASPD, but I think the need for stimulation is a big deal with ASPD.

For me roller coasters are the only rides worthwhile at amusement parks. I make sure to ride them all at least once, they're so fun. Definitely gives you a thrill to ride them.

My boyfriend loved roller coasters as well. He seemed to enjoy them more than the avg person... I guess it could have something to do with his diagnosis.

I love rollercoasters :lesquee:

Yeppers!

The bigger the better, the faster the freakier and one of my most favorite things in the world!!!!

What about swings?
I know most of you are guys; but swinging on a swing set when it gets super high and you get those butterflies in your chest, shoulders, abdomen- does that make you happy, feel free, slightly exilerated?

I still swing on the swings I love it!

I swing on swings as much as I frolic... Every. Ten. Minutes.

I love rollercoasters too...but only the ones that go upside-own. I really enjoy that butterflies-in-your-stomach feeling. My favourite ride as a kid was The Zipper - it's like a Ferris wheel but the carriages are little cages that you can spin independently. I used to try to rock my carriage as much as possible to see how many times I could make it go around.

Me, it's really anything... The behemoth is nice

I love the Zipper- my fave at the fair!!!

Me and a GF of mine made 'friends' with the guy who was running it one year and we stayed on the things for 30 minutes striaght
That things even better than a roller coaster because it constantly spins around and goes every which way
