If drugs make you happy, they're worth it right?

I whole-heartily disagree with you, guy above me. It's not worth it in the end. I agree with person above you. :)
 
Suggesting that one give up street and recreational drugs and instead start going to a psychiatrist is not good advice either. Most psychs are not properly evaluating their patients and only prescribing other drugs that can be very harmful and have no lifetime gurantee to keep working either. Suggesting counseling is pretty harmless, but it is not some great helpful thing to talk to a stranger once a month either. Sometimes life's problems can't be helped and often these problems are not due to a presumed "chemical imbalance" or "lack of self-love." Enjoying drugs cannot be directly linked to mental illness or long standing emotional problems. Some people simply enjoy them. Sorry, but I found cannabis to be much more effective than SSRIs and benzos and all the other psych garbage out there. The psych drugs I have taken have led to long-lasting CNS problems such as insomnia and involuntary muscle movements. I followed 'that very dangerous advice' and look where I'm at now.
 
Meds havent helped me in the slightest and im coming off them without my doctors consent as I think they just screw you up even more.

I suffer from depression, social anxiety and low self esteem the only thing that helps me is running it clears my mind temporarily and makes me feel better about myself.
 
Honestly, I completely agree that using drugs for self preservation is better than suicide, but you need to weigh which option is better in the long run. An addiction that starts to drain your life, or suicide. For some, having that life being drained is better than no life at all, but addiction is just a slower death.

The willpower of people on this site is great though, I honestly believe the grand majority know how to combat addiction and be able to use drugs to get them through tougher periods as a mood elevator. I'm having to do it myself and it's hard, but on your better days you'll be happy you didn't die. Life's about the good days, right?
 
I'm kind of torn here whether to agree or disagree, as part of me wants to do both.

Drug use can kill just as easily(though of course not necessarily and certainly not always as quickly) as a suicide. And sometimes a habitual drug habit and/or an addiction can worsen depressed or suicidal thoughts when things start to get of control, even if at first things seem fine and you feel "happier"

I would suggest speaking with a professional about your problems and see if there are any options you have before you start medicating yourself on your own. There may very well be an angle(or angles) you're missing. And of course please be sure to log on here as often as possible because the folks here at bluelight and especially TDS are truly kind, wonderful people :)

Also, my apologies as I didn't read this entire thread so this may have been said already.
