Self medicating is one of the best ways to become addicted. I think drugs can be useful, but it's also an easy way to escape from your issues, or can make them worse. It depends a lot on the individual and their state of mind.
- cassianoleal 5y agoI agree, which is why I wrote "if used correctly". This can mean self-medicating if you know what you're doing, but otherwise these days there are professionals qualified to help. I doubt psychedelics will be used to escape from your issues, but yes - they can make them worse if you're not careful.
- nvarsj 5y agoIt's really hard to self medicate when you're head is in the wrong place. It's much easier to abuse in moments of weakness. Like drinking when depressed, etc., which can just become a downward spiral. I agree with the original commentator, who says to avoid drugs as a way to deal, as tempting as they may be - and I've been there.
