  • Drugs and DID are two things that are often mentioned together, but not spoken in detail about. This is our first step to getting the word out that people with DID shouldn’t be afraid of this topic! Let’s break down some stigma as Darby talks a bit about alcohol and DID

    Just a safety heads up:
    NEVER SMOKE MARIJUANA THEN DRINK.
    Marijuana is used to calm the stomach, and keep substances down. When you drink too much, your body is trying to remove some of the toxins, because it’s overwhelmed. Also, the liver filters the first substance it finds, and if it finds marijuana first, it will prioritize that, when it should be working on the dangerous amount of alcohol in your system. In conclusion, you greatly increase your chances of overdosing if you do it in this order.

      GOOD POINT. We’re the self-destructive dummies that do it that way to avoid throwing up. May we put this in the description so more people can see this correction?

      Acrylic And Aether oh and thanks for the info on mugwort! I am going to try that now. I am currently in a job that doesn’t allow marijuana use, and it’s...difficult, to say the least. So I will make this a priority for this weekend.

      usually after smoking weed im scared to drink or use other drugs. weed triggers my brain to freak out about dying from everything, even water or soda. i drink all day long so i start worrying about my liver. i say know your own brain. advice isnt facts. its advice

    I don’t have DID but I do have PTSD, major depression, and anxiety. I’ve been clean for 17 years but meth was my drug of choice. You are so right with there always being an underlying condition to addiction. That it is a coping mechanism. I finally figured out that I really like to draw creepy pictures or paint a doll into a zombie. My therapist can tell when I go awhile without my art therapy and she will remind me to sit down and get it all out. You just have to find what works for you.

    Wow this was relatable. I'm a former alcoholic who also has an alter who's TERRIFIED of throwing up; let me tell you it was quite the interesting experience. And yes; the allowance is the key. My current husband let me drink instead of telling me to stop halfheartedly like everyone else I knew. A year later and I'm the kind of person who can have a beer at the pub, not the sort who drinks 3/4 a bottle of vodka every single day. The increasing state of "why do I even do this if I'm gonna feel so shitty" eventually took over.
    You're brave and awesome and I"m glad I found your channel :) :) :)

    I really relate to this video because in the uk alcohol is super easy to get underage. I’m not sure if we have DID yet although i do have a lot of the symptoms but all I know is that I’ve definitely woken up with a hangover that I don’t remember the cause of😂

      @hazyrory3121 5 років тому +3

      Jasmyn Gwatney no not at all I appreciate the help! I don’t have missing gaps of time specifically however there are quite a few things that get done and conversations that get had that I don’t remember and can’t seem to fit them in to my own narrative of the day. I’m not really sure what that means tbh and I struggle a lot with dismissing stuff like that because I don’t think my trauma was bad enough. Anyway lmao I need to stop using this comments section as a therapist.😂 thank you for your help. X

      @@hazyrory3121 Trauma is always valid!! The conversations part seems spot on for a DID symptom. If at all possible you should try to get some help from a therapist. Also if you do have alters you could try finding them or even just sending out a general "I think your here please send me a message back" kinda thought to them might help. Communication is hard at first so their only way of talking with you may be fronting. Try some post it notes? Anywho even if you don't have DID your trauma is still valid. Its not trauma olympics out here. We aren't competing.

Today is my dad's birthday as well, he died nearly three years ago due to his alcoholism.

    Warning: Mugwort tea is strong and tastes quite horrid. Go slow on the tea to anyone wanting to try it make it lower concentration and work up. Also I've read not to drink the tea longer then a few weeks before giving it a break, it can be hard on the bodies system. Mugwort is great though, I found it growing in my garden last year and found it very helpful to vaporize and or drink tea before sleeping.

    also do keep in mind cory plus 4's safety tip but also if you're already in the thick of it and are going to do it anyway, weed before beer you're in the clear, beer before grass you're on your ass. but do please be careful with the amount that you drink if you've smoked beforehand as it can easily lead to alcohol poisoning.
