Edit: Also, some unsolicited advice: if any of you are doing this, I'd at the very least suggest you come up with a contingency plan for if you find you want to get off the ride but it won't stop. If there's anyone in real life you trust enough to tell them that you're doing this, that might be an idea, for if you get stuck in something you can't get out of.

Part of learning how to be happy in life is learning to understand who you actually are, and accepting the reality that, while you can change for the better, you will always be you.
You will be most miserable when you try to be someone or something that you are not.
This undermines that important facet of humanity. You will not find happiness here.

I don't really think thats what it's about. I find it comparable to fantasy or roleplay. Fantasy isn't really about not wanting to be you, its more about wanting something else too. You don't mean to tell me you don't play games or whatever, and try your hardest not to get immersed in it?
It's not hating your own life and being and trying to escape that, as you portray it, it's more about wanting to try something else and immerse yourself in what would be another world, another sense of being. I really don't see why it's so horrible to want that for a few hours.

You misinterpret me. My comment isn't to judge, it's a warning. What this is is not fantasy, roleplay, or immersion. It's screwing with your brain chemistry and can possibly have lasting effects..
The more you learn about brain plasticity, addiction, and brain chemistry, the more you realize that things some may deem harmless can be damaging. Trying to literally convince yourself through powerful and proven methods that you are a PONY is not smart. That ceases to be pretending pretty quickly. It's not using your imagination to create or to dream possibilities. This isn't creative. It's dangerous.
Be prepared for a ride that will keep going long after you want to get off.
I still think you're overreacting.
Edit: Actually thats a bad argument. Its not a argument at all. But honestly, as I understand it, its not permanent, it makes you believe you're a pony for maybe an hour. Unless I'm misunderstanding whats going on, I dont see the problem in that.
