I didn't want to cause you distress, so I apologize for it.

on one hand it sounds like someone who just got out of a psychedelic trip, on the other hand it sounds like someone who needs to go through one.

I'm going to decline both statements, I'm sane (AFAIK, and exception made for the suicidal ideations themselves) and I don't reckon I'd enjoy tripping at all.

maybe go on a bender for a weekend

I had to look that up as I'm not a native speaker. Unfortunately fate granted me a weak stomach so I can't hold down more than a couple of beers, which lately I began avoiding since it only makes it worse. Cheers though.
