I’m an alcoholic and yes it makes me suicidal very suicidal especially when I’m alone drinking I can drink with friends and be ok tho. Weed has always been calming for me but since it’s illegal in Nebraska I don’t smoke it often if a buddie has some I will. But that’s just me weed could make someone suicidal also I think it depends on the person.
Alcohol AND weed can increase my depression to suicidal levels. I really despise alcohol, but DAMN do I like weed! I have a job in transportation, and am subject to pee tests, and have been clean for a really long time, but fell off the weed wagon over the holidays. I can’t afford to start smoking again, but already have decided that when my time comes, I’m going out HIGH as a kite. It’s legal here in Oregon.
No I don’t think so. But I am definitely an emotional drinker at times…. and what do I like to get liquored up on! And drown my sorrows with?….Jack Daniels! I love jack n cokes… I love jack, everything about it, the taste, the smell, although even with the depression being so bad two weeks ago … I didn’t have the interest to drink at all!
I did have two last night at home though because I wanted to see how alcohol interacted with the Wellbutrin. I was doing some reading on it and came across peoples experiences of having really bad headaches that last for days and you feel super hungover. I wanted to try it safe at home before going out in public drinking and having a bad reaction. And you know what else it can affect in a curbing kind of sense? Not just smoking, but the amount you drink. A lot of people find they drink less while taking it, so instead of drinking 4, like I usually do, they’ll only be interested in having two…. and that was all I did have last night was 2!!!!! Do you know how many fights Wellbutrin could of saved me from 20 years ago?! 😛
I’m suicidal with and without alcohol. I’m drinking a lot as we speak. A friend of mine does not like me drinking heavily but fuck it i’m a waste of life as it is.
I can just barely tolerate alcohol, so I rarely touch it and only in very small amounts. I can only tolerate certain types of weed, and I have to make sure I don’t fall asleep because then it bothers me. However, right now I couldn’t use any if I wanted to, because even though it’s legal where I live drug tests are still sometimes part of getting a job.
I would definitely vote for weed over alcohol, though. Weed has never made me feel more depressed or left me with an emotional hangover, but alcohol has done both.
Red wines (esp. dark) are one of the few miracles of humankind … think Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir.
To me, drinking red wine is like drinking a bit of the Earth. I love the taste of oak and berries and whatever else they put in there. It’s a very warm and soothing feeling. I especially love wine in the ambience of a campsite with tall Sequoia/Redwood trees (oops, did I just give away my location ?!) … think roaring fire, good company, good conversation ! Either camping or at home with a smal intimate group, candles, and incense.
And no, I am a controlled drinker (I regulate my blood alcohol level with food, water, and good timing), so I never get trashed.
And no, it has never made me suicidal, because I’m not suicidal even when sober. I just want to end my pain … and that is as sane as a decision can be.
Ethanol makes me relax and forget about my worries. And … unable to climax on the rare occasion that I have the opportunity to do so with someone.
I find being drunk helps me take my mind away from killing myself and the painful memories. So I end up drinking most days and pretty much every night. This obviously brings up separate problems so I’d prefer it made me feel worse. Now I’m too addicted to find another coping method. Never tried weed though but if alcohol helps I’d assume weed would too.

Oh and I don’t know which is better weed or alcohol for coping cause I don’t smoke weed, but I would probably think weed.

Very much so. I haven’t used alcohol in years but it made me very suicidal back then.

mv – I would never have guessed 🙂

I also love Kirkland Signature Spiced Rum … OMG.

Boooooooo.
jadedjewel – Uh oh. What did I do or say ?
Oh that was in reference to your last paragraph…. when alcohol ruins your “fun”. That’s what I was booing about. 🙂
