drunk mind speaks a sober heart?

[hybridtheory]

i keep telling myself i´m not currently suicidal and i keep ignoring the
intrusive thoughts. i tell everyone around me that i´m better now and i tell
myself that as well, but last night i went out and got drunk and the whole time
i was talking about suicide out loud to everyone around me. we were up on a parking garage
and i kept asking them if they thought it was high enough to drop from.
so the point of this thread is to ask whether being drunk and having those suicidal tendencies
were my true self and my actual thoughts or was it me just being drunk and stupid.
like how they say "a drunk mind speaks a sober heart" ... maybe i really am currently suicidal
and i just keep ignoring how i feel by covering it up with something else as a distraction.

Hard to say. But I do like this phrase:

"a drunk mind speaks a sober heart"

Also getting drunk is fun.

Sorry not much help. I'm a little drunk.

The phrase "a drunk mind speaks a sober heart" is not necessarily fair or accurate.

You lose your sense of judgement when you're drunk, you're a lot less inhibited. You're not really speaking your mind, you're blurting things out.

If you thought your friends could handle what you were trying to tell them or what you were trying to talk about without calling the nearest relative and having you locked up in a psychiatric ward the sober you would have had a more honest and thoughtful discussion with them.

If you're not consciously suicidal and were, on some level, surprised by all of the things you said then, yeah, this was a case of your true feelings spilling out while under the influence. But still, it wasn't the more reasonable, sober you doing the talking.

I've said a lot of things I absolutely did not believe or mean when drunk so it's hard to say.
