Good or bad?

[aidcrism]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if you think that drugs and alcohol can affect anxiety or rather calm it, because when I use drugs I feel a lot of peace and that is the way I want to always feel.

I never did drugs or alchohol- they are not an answer to your emotional distress.

If your talking about drugs you get from your Dr I would encourage it. If your talking about street drugs never ! Regarding alcohol, you may feel better while you are drinking but it’s a depressant and you may feel like crap after with heighten anxiety. Your always better letting your Dr treat you with meds that are relevant to you.

Illegal drugs worsen mental illness in the long run.

Many say illegal drugs, pot and a stiff drink calms you down when you have anxiety and or depression. Alcohol is a depressant. The problem with illegal drugs is that they are not the best ones available. Quite simply the are the wrong drugs for this.

Alcohol and drugs make you feel better in the short term however they will fuel your mental illness and mental health services will not help you whilst you are under the u fluence as they will not know whether it’s mental health or drug induced. Drug use will increase your mental health and can create psychosis episodes too
