Drug misuse isn’t anything new with young people, but I feel within NI it’s seen as a virtue to be a hallion. Maybe it’s an aspect of having a rebel culture on both sides where those who held the power were those who went outside of the state.
When you combine shit economic conditions, poor mental health provision, a police service too busy trying to power balance between factions… you end up with a generation looking for an escape with very limited trust in instructions.
Watched this and here comes my controversial opinion but I feel zero sympathy for any of the lads in this documentary.
My issue with things like this in the video are these fellas are saying they need to take these things for PTSD due to the troubles but they all look young enough to be born before or just after the good Friday agreement they all continue to have a woes me attitude saying things like my head is wrecked, my mental health is bad then cut to the next scene where they are at a house party bragging about sniffing lines and taking pills fellas like this need to look into the mirror and get a clue. Of course there are loads out there that have genuine mental health issues and i respect anyone who is trying to actively make themselves better but with people like this on the doc they continue to cry about poor mental health but still will take alcohol and copious amounts of drugs and laugh about it they aren’t trying to help themselves in anyway at all how can you feel any sympathy for them and there is loads of people in their 20s to early 30s that are exactly like this in the country all excuses and zero self reflection skills on their actions always something to blame. I feel like they use it as an excuse for any poor behaviour exhibited and fall back on the my mental health is bad trope, not once did these guys in this give a real reason why they feel the way they do or what is the conflicts in their life that makes them do this, no its because the troubles even though they ended before they were born.
‘the drugs are everywhere’; yeah, because of you fuckers. the party scene reminds me of the episode of peep show where Mark pretends to take ecstasy. he looks over the people in his flat and thinks ‘look at these dropouts. they think they are having fun’.
Fuck sad that some people.seem to think being addicted to Benzos is cool
