I used to use NyQuil to turn off the world when I was young.

In my late teens and most of twenties I used NyQuil to shut off my brain when I was overwhelmed. Luckily I never got addicted or switched to hard core drugs. I still miss being able to crawl into bed and have everything disappear.

    Ain’t no shame in trippin’, we all do. But real talk, the Nyquil ain’t the solution, it’s just hiding the problem

    Ooohh, no good. Did you know the active ingredient is linked to alzheimers? Please be careful.
    Edit: why downvote me for being right and trying to help? Take whatever you want, you won’t remember anyway

    If you ever feel tempted to self-medicate again or get overwhelmed, reach out to a healthcare professional or a crisis line, you deserve real help and peace.

    Is this not the same as taking NyQuil at night not because you’re sick but because you want to go to sleep and not have to lay there thinking about what a worthless pos you are?

    Anyway I’m addicted to thc now.

    i nannied for a family where the mom loved to brag that she drank half a bottle of nyquil every night to help her sleep while pregnant…. i don’t understand how that was a bragging right for her that she was causing such harm to herself and her unborn child. especially when they’d just lost her past pregnancy to a serious birth defect

    i’m glad you were able to kick the habit, proud of you.

    Idk if its just me but sometimes when I take Nyquil I get the worst panic attacks at night. I literally felt like dying
