Drugs to numb the pain?

[meles_inoris]

During this outbreak I see no other way to dull the pain other than drugs. I've tried basically everything else except self harm. Please, please give me suggestions. Don't give me platitudes about how you ruined your life, because I wanna fucking ruin mine. I'm sick of being sane and lucid.

I'm not a big druggie but I've tied a few things (Weed,DXM (not good for this),Painkillers) but simple alcohol has always been by favorite for forgetting about life. But I'm sure someone with more experience could give you a better answer.

Well, do you have street contacts so you can obtain illegal drugs? If not, there are plenty of legal highs which are quite effective.

From what I've heard, cannabis numbs physical pain and research says that it can also alleviate symptoms of depression. Be careful not to overuse though

Weed works for me (physical pain and general boredom). It also makes me worry less, and increases my sexual appatite. Alcohol works as well, but in Norway the it's very expensive. I also have Valium 5mg, but I try not to overuse.

Ha ha. You've absolutely right:-)

To be honest I'm pretty blitzed off the worst cocaine I've have in my life right now, and it's been a problem since the pandemic started. I'm not gonna say don't do it because you'll ruin your life, but I will say with borders closing and mandatory quarantine orders you might not get quality stuff that will help as much as you want, especially if you don't have the right contacts and people don't know you, but I wish you luck. Mushrooms when taken in the right mindset can be a great reset, if taken in the wrong mindset can worsen your suicidal tendencies (seriously, I wrote a book as a suicide note one time when I microdosed in a bad mindset, the only reason I didn't follow through is I was at a friends house). Cocaine can give you a good boost of energy if you want to get something done, but can drive you crazy if you have no one to talk to as an outlet. Weed makes me nauseated, but that's obviously not a common problem. Good luck on your search, but as a recreational drug user I would say it might be better to just drink alcohol. Cigarettes can also give you a nicotine buzz when you first start smoking and do well with calming anxiety.

After months of being clean I've turned back to self harm and smoking cigarettes because of this. I hope I don't get flack for this, but of all my drug use (including "legal" drugs like caffeine and nicotine) I feel the least guilty about self harm because outside wounds, while permanent visuals, do heal and affect my health less than anything I could ingest. I still do everything else so I'm not trying to use this as a cautionary tale because literally nothing here could be taken as actually healthy advice, just personal input.

Two glasses of wine and some amount of weed on top can be a relatively safe and at the same time wonderful experience. It is a kind of self-harm, but you won't harm yourself too much. Shrooms might be a safe alternative to substances like LSD which you will never know how it works for you before trying several times.
MDMA can be a good thing to feel better for a while. But you may have a hangover.
