Does getting high make it better?

[MiMif]

Like does getting high on drugs or getting drunk off alcohol make the pain of existing a little easier for a moment. Cause it's getting unbearable but I can't even figure out how to die...but alcohol tastes disgusting to me ngl still I'm willing to try it.

 

[Life_and_Death]

i personally dont think so

i personally dont think so

Yeah I was thinking the same cause I got half drunk once but it just felt awful and I felt dizzy....but I figure there has to be a reason people do it so maybe I'm not doing it right :/

 

[hikikomorizombie]

for a moment?? yes. the best drugs to do that are weed, molly, & stims. i preferred certain opioids & benzos, to shut my brain/everything up.

alc not really though. it's more for when you're w other ppl, & even then it could just intensify all of ur neg feelings. i h8 being a sad drunk.

.but I figure there has to be a reason people do it so maybe I'm not doing it right

it reacts differently for everyone.
its like psychiatry medication. everyone needs their specific mixture. some people praise and push medication. other people feel the whole field needs to be obliterated.
it depends on the person. drugs just arent for some people

I can only talk about alcohol. It eased the pain in the beginning like 3 or 4 times. Now I just get this feeling of detachment, feeling typsy sometimes helps me though. But nothing too crazy

For me alcohol works because I feel nothing otherwise my pet drug if choice is cocaine but I hate the crash

 

[Scythe]

I only drink, and it does make me happy. Alcohol grounds me, as long as I'm currently not experiencing anything really bad it will make me happy and want to live because in the moment nothing is wrong. I know it's an irrational thought, because when I question myself why I won't have an answer just that I don't want to die anymore, I'm happy right now, however if I die, I won't mind. Kind of ironic, how ppl usually say wanting to die is irrational, but the irrational thought I have when I'm high is life isn't that bad.

For me alcohol helps a little in order to drown out my thoughts and focus on something else. I absolutely abhor the taste though despite drinking so much over the last few years. It's about the only thing that gets me off of my bed some days. But like all substances, alcohol starts losing its efficacy pretty fast the more you keep drinking.

Marijuana is probably a good option if you really can't stand the taste of alcohol, but it too racks up tolerance pretty fast. Other than the tolerance aspect, I'd say it's probably better than alcohol due to health reasons. The general sense of euphoria you get from the first couple of times you use it can be amazing.

I've abused a bunch of other substances over the years but I wouldn't really suggest them because they were highly addictive and I was really lucky to have been able to stop without dying from withdrawal, which would have been an incredibly painful way to go.

 

[Gonnerr]

No the relief is only temporary like almost any drugs.

 

[jackrussell023]

Alcohols been my go to unfortunately as whilst it doesn't address my issues, it helps to shut my mind down so I don't have all my issues, loneliness etc running around and making me feel worse. Kicks the can down the road really.

As with other comments, end up needing to drink more and more for the same effect.

 

[Abyssal]

I wouldn't count on it. I'm not one who has done anything more than get drunk before and if I'm being honest I feel better when I'm a bit buzzed, but I'd imagine it would result in temporary relief. That said, if one takes drugs for the purpose of coping their chances of addiction go up quite a bit, even more so for those with adhd (I recall hearing people with adhd are twice as likely to develop addiction but that sounds almost too high!)

Think of it this way: you can get psychologically addicted to just about anything, but you can become physically dependent on a select few. With many drugs you can get both of these addiction types. Oversimplification aside, do you want to risk that? Up to you, I can't tell you what to do, nor do I have experience with drugs, just worth mentioning.

Oh yeah, there's many types of drugs out there and some don't fully apply to what I said. Try weed maybe. Weed is fine but even that can have negative consequences if you aren't careful. I know it's at the very least pricey over here so that's something to consider

IMO absolutely-fucking-yes. However, not alcohol, I honestly personally dislike that intoxicating feeling it provides and would rather stick to a joint or any other drug in general. I've done just about everything in the books. Now, as to which ones you should do? everyone is different so you need to find your poison. I'll try and explain what each one is good for though. For me, in terms of stimulants, I love dextroamphetamine, methamphetamine (low dose though), and caffeine for both focus and the awesome euphoric buzz. When I do any amphetamines, I do them orally via Adderall pills. I have 30 MG script footballs and some pressed ones that are mix between D-Amphetamine and M-Amphetamine. As long as you don't go crazy on the dose, I honestly can't tell the difference. A lot of people talk about amphetamines like you're bound to go schizo from using them. That's honestly bullshit. You just need to be careful and monitor yourself. You should never get to a point of taking 30 MG+ within a 48 hour period (unless you actually have ADHD or some other disorder and that's your appropriate dose). Take a few weeks every now and then to detox off every stimulant and you'll be okay. As for caffeine? I'm a sucker for those Monster Energy drinks and if not that some 200 MG Caffeine pills do the job. If I ever have a day where I just don't want to do work or I've just been really physically taxed from the previous day and could use a pick me up then those are my choices. For therapeutic purposes I love Psychedelics but I definitely prefer Acid over Psilocybin because Acid lasts longer + is more stimmy and I love that feeling. For anxiety purposes people typically recommend benzodiazepine drugs like Xanax (Alprazolam) and other drugs amongst it. However, ironically enough, I think adderall does a way better job than any benzo ever could. I've done many benzodiazepines too so I think I come with some pretty good experience (all US script benzos + RC's like bromaz, etiz, fluap, flual, etc). In my opinion, benzos are a waste of time. Just go buy some weed instead of doing benzos. Adderall not only helps with focus but with the tad bit of extra serotonin and dopamine which counteracts my anxiety so its enough to get me through the day. At the end of the day, you gotta experiment with these compounds with yourself to find what works for you.

Drugs is a pretty loaded word. It could mean a beer, it could mean a lifechanging experience on LSD or Mushrooms. The latter can transform someone's outlook on life. The issue with those is it can be a very bumpy ride. Especially if you're traumatized, depressed, anxious-- it's not uncommon to have an experience that words won't be able to convey. Bad experiences can sometimes have positive effects later on, but even then, you can't really enthusiastically encourage someone. But yes, it's possible to have a radical transformation with certain drugs, if you have a little luck.

 

[FujoshiNeet]

For a little bit, yeah. If it becomes a long-term habit, your brain chemistry changes a lot and it makes shit so much worse and gives you another struggle to deal with.

 

[Nemaki Arber]

Getting high on weed helps, I've been hesitant to try shrooms since I bad trip pretty easily on psychedelic drugs such as LSD, last time I thought I kept dying over and over and turned into nothingness after being stuck in a thought loop about how lonely and helpless I feel

 

[LaVieEnRose]

No. I feel like crap at any altitude.

 

[melodyhehe]

for me xanny i had it prescribed at first but then had to order it from weird places cuz i got addicted but yea it helped the most out of all the stuff i tried. alcohol is nice but only when u go out but yea dont drink alone for me it would only make things worse LMAO

 

[UKscotty]

Only for a but, usually makes me more suicidal after a few hours, certainly in the morning.

Most drugs including alcohol are depressants so not a good idea for suicidal people. Always end up feeling worse.

Even uppers wear off and then feel worse.

 

[leavingthesoultrap]

Alcohol doesn't help me personally.
With weed it depends. Sometimes you get a nice high but sometimes I get this horrible anxiety paranoia rush.
Nowadays I just vape CBD

 

[Praestat_Mori]

The come down after the high can be terrible. Drugs won't be a solution to a certain problem, they may also increase MH issues. Drugs are a really a double edged sword. I think in most cases they may damage more than they help especially when it ends up in drug-abuse.

I get drunk every now and then but actually it doesn't solve my problem. I'm just getting numb for some time but then everything is the same again.

 

[Giovannino224]

Recently I've tried some substances, but I have to say that my experience wasn't really the best.

I've tried twice escitalopram, the first time took around 300mg and I have to say that the experience was terrible. I had constant tremors in the legs for 3 days straight, I couldn't eat or drink anything for like 15 hours because my throat was literally blocked and I stayed awake for 34 hours straight. I probably also had delusions since my metal state got worse than ever that time, also I probably experienced derealization because I lived the following week like it was a lucid dream.
The second time I've took it the dosage was lover (probably around 1500/200mg), so the effects weren't as bad as the first time. I also have to say that even if my experience wasn't really that great, I've kinda liked it.

Another substance that I tried was oxcarbazepine, and I took it 3 times. The dosage were actually high (around 2400/3600mg of oxcarbazepine). The effects that it gave me were actually pretty enjoyable. The main effects that i had were like confusion, blurred vision and tremors. It helped a bit because I literally couldn't understand a shit in that moment.

The last substance that I took was codeine, I took it once and the dosage was pretty low (240mg), so I hadn't any particular effect.

Thanks for this

I think on the long term your net misery will be far higher if that makes sense, but you will also have a lot more bearable moments in between with drugs. I don't recommend them from my experience, been smoking and trying a few things the last 6 years (and dependant on benzos for half of that). I wouldn't blame or antagonize someone for coping with them too. Sometimes we just need a break. I don't think they are super helpful but it's good to keep an open mind too.

 

[sserafim]

I don't know because I've never gotten high before, but I like the song Hymn for the Weekend by Coldplay, and it talks about "feeling drunk and high". Tove Lo has a song about staying high

 

[LXXCH]

yes, I think it helps me a lot

 

[1MiserableGuy]

Short term yes, long term absolutely not. You will eventually get to a point where you can no longer handle reality without inebriation and have all kinds of health issues that makes your sober life experience even worse. My uncle put down hard drugs, but he never could put down the bottle and drank himself to death before 50. One of my best friends drank himself to death at 30. It is a dangerous game.

 

[sukiduki]

the relief is temporary like others said - but in the moment it's so worth it to me. when i'm fully conscious and in control i am living in a 100% living hell. but when i can find the time to use- it's such a needed break from everything i am feeling. alcohol is tough, it can make it feel better but sometimes its worse. for pills like valium i like being shut off and falling asleep. party drugs like mdma can sometimes also give me a break. unfortunately i don't have too much supply left of benzos but i really really want more. it's worth it to me.

 

[Otaku]

. other people feel the whole field needs to be obliterated.

Haha
What a way to put it.
Thank you for giving me a laugh, even though i don't think it was meant as a joke

Better put some input also.. There are drugs that work good for anxiety and stress and erease negative feelings..
But everything has its price..

 

[hi1738]

it does for some time, but not in a way u think. i enjoyed getting high bc it would put me in a state where i wasn't conscious enough to feel hurt.

i guess it depends on what ur using but typically, it'll eventually make everything worse.
