Discussion Substances as escape

[Norf I Guess]

Life sucks, I can't fix my issues, and I don't really see a reason to live this way, but I can't bring myself to commit suicide. Would taking drugs to numb my mind off how hideous I am be a fair option? If so, what are some easy to source options?

its a temporary escape that i wouldnt recommend. very easy to further worsen your life

Do not do drugs or alcohol, it will only make your life worse. I promise you. It's not an escape.It will make your life much worse than it already is. Nothing good can come out of it.
I myself used alcohol thinking it would help me escape my troubles. It only compounded them.

On DNMs you can get most commonly available street drugs. Use the psychonaut wiki and erowid to look at the effects and dosages of different substances, get them tested either via test kits or via sending them to a lab, yadda yadda.

It is not my place to tell you what you should and shouldn't do with your life, but I imagine getting addicted to substances isn't a recommended way to improve things.

i agree with the posters in the thread. addiction, especially to illicit drugs, can make shit way worse. please think very very carefully about this.

it might work as a temporary escape, but is that temporary worth ruining the rest of your life over? is it worth hurting the people you care about? both drugs and alcohol can very easily ruin everything you care about. my dad was an alcoholic.
