No worries. Like lorax said, most people on here aren’t going to be in very good shape emotionally.
I think a lot of us on here can empathize with each other well though, because we’re all going through the same thing. Being suicidal is a nightmare, and I doubt any of us are particularly stable people.
We’re all assholes, sometimes. Doesn’t mean we can’t get along and not be assholes towards one another. I think you’ve probably been through enough pain already that I wouldn’t want to be yet another source of it for you. I have ADHD – while it’s reasonable for me to say that, how it comes out can sometimes be incredibly confusing and seemingly the opposite of what I mean. I think brains are extremely annoying things.
I let the rage get the better of me which seriously screwed with my perception, instead of actually recognising that it wasn’t “you” saying all those things. But shit, we’re here as a community to assist if you need it.
I was always a light/occasional drinker, until i finally became unable to cope with my depression, after a series of consecutive nervous breakdowns. Then i started drinking heavily, frequently… and at some point i realized it was only exacerbating my already debilitating depression, and it was making me feel /so/ bad, that i lost all desire to drink at all, so i quit completely. Since then (~2.5 years), i’ve had a total of 3 beers and 1 mixed drink, all in celebratory circumstances, and i haven’t had a drop at all in more than a year. Also no weed in almost 2 years (which i have mixed feelings about… i only quit because i thought i might try to get a job, but that ended up not happening, and doesn’t seem like a realistic expectation at this point…).
I apologize if my sarcastic/insinuating tone offended you as well. Maybe we were all a bit out of line. I hope you’re doing better man. Keep in touch. Let’s let the positivity roll from here out.

Sorry if I got testy, too – I think most people here are probably bitter and angry, as well. It can be a trying place sometimes.
You’re fine. I’m the asshole.

Take it easy.
^what they said.
Also: there’s a reason the “scumbag brain meme” exists.
same here for the ADHD. it sucks. but you work around it. for some peopl (including me) its another thing to be picked on for
I appreciate the comments. I need to start by quiting the alcohol. It makes me irrational.
