Is it normal to be an occasional solvent abuser

I'm a 23 year old male...It's not a regular habit but sometimes , once in a while, lets say 4 times a year, when i'm depressed or really upset about something I binge drink alone, I love a night out getting drunk with my friends but somtimes now and again when I cant face the world, i sit alone on my sofa, drinking vodka wine, cider, anything I can get my hands on, and smoke lots of cigarettes, when all the alcohol & cigs have ran out, I then start solvent abuse, inhaling aerosols through a towel. It leaves me feeling depressed, guilty and foolish. It gives me a disorientated dis-attached feeling , pleasant at first but then an impending sense of doom and slight hallucinations and after then I feel wretched for doing it. Does anyone else do this? I don't do drugs but sometimes when im alone and totally wasted I find myself doing this. I also get the same visions and impending sense of doom every-time I do it, Tonight when I inhaled for the first time in about 5 months I got up out my seat and felt some presence was watching me and laughing. This is really out of character for me, I'm a very sociable bubbly person but i wouldn't tell anyone about this.

    Ill get drunk by myself once or twice a year while watching movies or playing video games, just as an escape from stress. Mostly though, when I get drunk it is with a group of people, as I am an extremely social creature!

    Do not inhale solvents, they can kill you! Get a bag of weed and keep it handy for these occasions, it is much less dangerous and wont leave you feeling guilty! (and it will make you super happy)

    Dude, you'd be better off doing drugs.

    I've never done solvents but I did try butane and it was the same as you, once every 5 or 6 months. I probably did it six times or so.

    DON'T EVER DO IT AGAIN!

    It can kill you.

    Get some weed and just keep it handy for when you really want to binge.

    Im not going to tell you not to binge because sometimes we have to.

    You're gonna die if you don't quit.

    You're seriously depleting your brain cells when you're inhaling aerosols and whatnot. I suggest to not buy them, especially if you are a "very sociable and bubbly person," it would not be beneficial for your overall character and prospects.
