I’m really concerned about the mental health of the typical redditor.

It seems like everyone is trying to defy their mental health issues by pumping their brain full of drugs and then bragging about it.<br><br>I’ve been in the game for a minute, but I don’t touch most of these drugs because they wreck people. <br><br>I’ve lost count of the number of people I’ve known take their own lives because of drugs. People that were once friends, and people that I only knew for a day or two. <br><br>I’ve also known people who were fine, until they started self medicating. <br><br>If you are self medicating, slow down. It’s not cute, and it’s not something you should brag about. It’s a cry for help and a sign that you need to get professional help.<br><br>I get that Chambers can be a dark place, and I’m sorry if you’re feeling that way. Please, go see a doctor. Not only can they help you feel better overall, they can help you develop coping skills.<br><br>I get that some of you might need certain drugs to function, but I don’t think that this sub should be viewed as a resource. Just because someone on the internet says a drug is safe, doesn’t mean that it is for you. <br><br>I’ve known people to die from taking drugs that are viewed as “safe”. You don’t know your body and how you’ll react to something until you take it.<br><br>People, drugs and situations are not all created equal. Drugs are not a one-size fits all solution. <br><br>I’m worried that this sub is creating a situation like the opioid crisis. The opioid crisis happened because people were told something that wasn’t true by people who knew better, but wanted to make money.<br><br>If you’re dicking around with drugs, please get help. If you’re dicking around with drugs and encouraging others to as well, I have some choice words for you, but that’s not for Reddit.<br><br>Please, go get help. Not only can you save your own lives, you can save the lives of the people around you. <br><br>Feel better soon, and stay sober.
