-- Posted by Poker Shark at 3:38 am on Sep. 22, 2008 I do use drugs and alcohol in a fairly sensible manner... most of the time. I have no addictions presently. I used to and I've been unhappy (excluding when high) for a long time. I function OK but I feel so empty and it makes me crave being drunk or on a lot of Valium, on E, whatever. I'm just a self-medicator I guess. I don't need to be addicted to alcohol or drugs to crave them because when you're unhappy it's like you crave anything that will take it away. I don't use compulsively, these feelings just worry me. Needing to escape so bad. Honestly, do you [feel the need to] self-medicate? Answer anonymous if you're uncomfortable admitting it openly. -- Posted by Azathoth at 3:39 am on Sep. 22, 2008 i do its usually plain tobacco or sometimes alcohol but trying to give the tobacco up -- Posted by effyouseakay at 3:40 am on Sep. 22, 2008 I don't. Never have and I highly doubt I ever will. -- Posted by IsInsanitySoBad at 3:40 am on Sep. 22, 2008 I do self-medicate because i am unhappy with myself. -- Posted by IsInsanitySoBad at 3:42 am on Sep. 22, 2008 Quote: from Azathoth at 3:39 am on Sep. 22, 2008 i do its usually plain tobacco or sometimes alcohol but trying to give the tobacco up I dont think he meant tobacco. as it is a drug but it does not induce euphoria.. -- Posted by Poker Shark at 3:55 am on Sep. 22, 2008 Quote: from IsInsanitySoBad at 8:12 pm on Sep. 22, 2008 Quote: from Azathoth at 3:39 am on Sep. 22, 2008 i do its usually plain tobacco or sometimes alcohol but trying to give the tobacco up I dont think he meant tobacco. as it is a drug but it does not induce euphoria.. I did mean intoxicating drugs but people do self-medicate with tobacco. It's proven that unhappy people smoke more cigarettes. When I used to smoke cigarettes were comforting. Like a hug or something. -- Posted by YeahBoii at 4:12 am on Sep. 22, 2008 Quote: from effyouseakay at 6:40 am on Sep. 22, 2008 I don't. Never have and I highly doubt I ever will.

Like a hug or something. it is comforting now it just makes me feel a million times worse even sometimes brings tears to me because i dont want to anymore due to i got a new life starting next month -- Posted by paperskyx at 4:46 am on Sep. 22, 2008 Ugh, no. I would never do drugs/alchohol/smoking. Nooo thanks. -- Posted by Rickenbacker at 2:39 pm on Sep. 23, 2008 I medicate with medicine prescribed to me which many use recreationally, if that makes sense. -- Posted by Wunarmdscissor at 4:27 pm on Feb. 21, 2009 yeah, last night I took a 6 5htp to see what it would do and I just felt like I was going to throw up. I feel a lot better today. : )
