For a majority of life, if I had enough confidence to believe I could succeed at killing myself I would have tired.

When your self-confidence is so low it actually saves your life.

This is part of why anti-depressants increase the risk of suicide. Before they take full effect, they improve your motivation enough so that some people will make the suicide attempt they've been thinking of doing.

IRL before antidepressants take full effect, you're going through a shitty acclimation process that ranges from An Unpleasant Week Or So to OMG I'm Coming Down Off Acid for a Month.

Is coming down off acid a bad feeling then? I thought it was good

If the trip is really bad, then I can definitely see the early morning vibe screwing with you lol

Nope. You might be thinking about Molly.

I personally enjoy coming down off acid but I was more so just curious if the general consensus was it’s bad, so interesting!

I LOVE the afterglow of a dope acid trip. I remember them very fondly.
