My girlfriend of 2 years just dumped me and left me for someone else.

What would be a good drug to try to help me get over this sadness I feel?

I'm just trying to get it off my mind man, please.
 
We'll try this out in the dark side as I think you'll get better responses over there.

How old are you? Is this your first real serious relationship?

I'm going to tell you something that someone once told me when my girlfriend broke up with me: When you turn them upside down, my man, women are all the same... (It's true, isn't it?)

Your best bet right now is to forget all about drugs and self-medicating. You'll have to weather the storm. So, grow a beard and walk around like the fucking badass you are. Invest in some aviators if you have to! Now's the time to be an angry, mean son of a bitch, a real douchebag.
 
Breakups are a bitch. What your feeling is natural and it's a part of the process. Id say just get pissed off and go wail on a punching bag and hit the weights.

If it does persist for awile i would suggest seing a doctor. Also there is no best drug to treat anxiety and depression as everyone is different. I have to take one drug for anxiety and another one for depression.
 
Give it some time. Everyone hurts at first, that's completely normal. Drugs should only be used when you have pathological feelings, and feeling down after a breakup is not pathological, it is very human.

Good luck and I hope you get over this soon :)
 
I know what not to do, I will tell you a story of a good friend named Steve, not his real name, cause I show I am from San Diego, here it goes:

Steve just broke up with his girlfriend of a many year. He was heart broken so he went to go party with his brother and my friends. We got Steve fucked up on alcohol first, and we all smoke massive amounts of dank (good herb). Someone gave Steve some Zanax so he can really get fucked up. Some smoked Steve out with some H too.

The next morning Steve didnt wake up. He is 6 feet under. He never really did drugs, his older brother did and he brought him around us evil guys. I miss Steve, but it was too late. So let me just tell you this.

Its not worth it. Time will heal you, stay away from drugs while you are feeling shitty. I have some beer, smoke some weed, but please stay away from the good shit.
 
^^ Thank you for sharing that story kooter. So sad :( RIP "Steve"

Rather than trying to mask your sadness with any drugs, I would recommend hanging out with your mates and/or doing some other fun activities to take your mind off it. To be perfectly honest, ANY drug will probably just make you obsess over your ex-girlfriend and the pain you're feeling even more, which will make you feel SO much worse.

But getting a good dose of some socialising with friends will help to make you feel happier, and will distract yourself from thinking about her too much.

Take care man, you will get through this <3
 
this is the best advice and I would tell you the same.

Get out there, socialize, if you are athletic too then hit the gym and do stuff.

I am in my mid 30's and never had a serious or long relationship because of fear of this sort of sit. and go figure I am the most social, Type A , outgoing , Sales man type of person too ... always the class clown!!

.... but I\ do know people close to me that have gone through this. Some went through many years of horrible depression and bad shit. Others got over it well, and fast.

Share your feelings and get outside. ;):):):)%)

Drowning my sorrows with drugs was one of the worst decisions ive made it only helps temporarily and makes it worse in the long run so just stick it out and take your anger out on something positive like working out and hitting a punching bag that always helps me
 
Yeah man it's not necessary to jump right into medications after breaking up. Most people feel like shit after a breakup and it takes some time to recover. Let yourself feel what you need to feel but you don't have to get caught in it forever; you'll work through it quicker if you don't try to avoid your feelings.
 
The first fact to consider:

Nearly everybody has had to experience what you're experiencing.

It sucks. It feels miserable.

It passes. You feel better. You have another relationship that you consider better. Life goes on.

The really important thing here is to not let this event impact other areas of your life. Keep up with work or school, keep exercising if you are. Otherwise, you simply add problems on top of this one.

Now, regarding medicating this, different things work better for different people, but it is likely that your best route to feeling better is simply time, and staying active - and realizing, most of all, that your feelings are temporary, that this isn't the end of the world but a temporary situation, and that things get better.

It's okay to feel bad, but don't make this more than it is by allowing melodramatic thoughts to pass without challenge in your mind ("this was the relationship of my life and it's over" "I'll never find someone this great again" "I'll be alone forever" etc.). All those thoughts are silly crap, but sometimes we're prone to think them.

It's also okay to talk to a doctor about this.

To take a sports analogy, you've gotten hurt on the field, but the injury heals quickly, and you'll likely be stronger where you were hurt, and you'll be ready for the next game.
 
Best drug for being upset? Happiness. Long term benefits, self motivation & no health problems.

I know its easier said than done, but the voices in your head that dictate your mood arent from somewhere else, its all down to you, so you have the power to control it.

Keep smiling dude.

You don't need drugs to get over a breakup. All you need is time. Imagine that you start depending on using a drug to take away the pain without actually dealing with the pain. When you run out of the drugs the pain will still be there.

Just try to go out with friends or hang out with family even if you are going to be miserable doing so; it'll do you a world of good. It will take time before you heal, but one day, it just won't bother you anymore. I've been through some terrible breakups, myself, and you just have to wait it out. You'll find other women.
 
Thanks to whichever TDS mod got rid of the HORRIBLE advice that was recently posted in here... I went to report it and before I could, it was already gone.

great work!
 
how about your girl mary jane? that always makes me feel happier and usually takes my anxiety away.
 
I would suggest exercising daily until exhaustion. It really works wonders. You get a better body, a high without the drugs, your self confidence goes up as a side effect, and before you know it you are attracting new potential mates.
 
This is the BEST , and I was at my peak 110% on all levels and the happiest, fittest (was 160lbs, now 215lbs) ... and everything was going well.

Uses to rollerblade 15 km in 1 hour in the hottest summer weather when it was like 30+ degrees C and after my asthma & back pain intensified it fuckt me up so if you can be super dooper active go go go.

This can be a very important time of your life when you acquire or learn to use real coping skills. 9 times out of 10 people become drug addicts because they have no coping skills. Stay away from drugs at this point in your life and you will be rewarded for the rest of your future.

I went through something exactly like you did with my ex-wife, and even though it doesn't seem like it right now things do get better day by day.
