Do be very careful if you have suicidal thoughts after taking alcohol or taking party drugs, as these substances bend your thinking, sometimes in directions you could never have predicted!While alcohol and party drugs can make everything seem very good at times, they can just as easily make everything seem very bad! It is important to realise that your thought processes are almost certainly going to be very different once you have recovered from the effects of the alcohol or the drugs. If you had something very important in your life, such as an interview for job promotion, deciding on surgery, or making the best financial deal possible involving large amounts of money, you would not take alcohol or drugs beforehand. Do not make drastic decisions about your most valuable possession, your life, if you have taken alcohol or drugs. Go asleep until you are able to deal with things more clearly.
