But... but... that stuff is so much better with MJ! I dont drink and been smoking a loooong time. I do believe that alcohol will make most things worse but not old Mary.

I was chronic for many years and what I found was unless I changed the flavour on a regular basis it just made me edgy and paranoid. Now I'm maybe once a month and I do find that enjoyable in the right setting.

As for my advice, it related to actual depression which loss of joy doing thing you used to enjoy is definitely a symptom. Better not to mask that with dope IMO.

It’s funny you say that, the older I get the more I notice the anxiety that it sometimes gives me. Besides that and my tank and good rich food it’s my only vices. And yes my tank is a drug, Probably the strongest one around and I just can’t say no to it. Everyone has there thing and there are a lot worse ones out there. Too many people try to mask there depression with (fill in the blank). Exercise is probably the best release. I take my dog for a run and after that what the world or work or my family throws at me is manageable. To each his/her own. I do believe we as a whole keep too much bottled up and don’t seek help and try to power through it or just don’t want to bother anyone about it. I did my time helping with suicide hotline/ help centers and most people would rather talk to strangers instead of the ones who loved them because they did not want to bother them. There where people who honestly cared but a lot where just going through the motions, it was just a job for them. It helps to get off social media, stop watching the BS news ( all political now a days) and enjoy life with the people who matter. It always gets better, then worse, then better. Without the bad the good would not be good. These are trying times for sure but I think a lot is fabricated for the benefit of others. We need to stop watching/listening/reading all of it. If anybody wants to vent to someone without judgement I am always available hit me up! I might not always be PC , or smart, or keyed into social issues but I’ll make you laugh, and that’s great medicine.
 
I'll add that as we go through our daily lives, especially in these very trying times that we're all going through, is to realize everyone around us is trying to manage and cope the best way that they can.

We are not a singularity. Strangers around us are going through very similar things. Some are doing better, others are doing worse. As strangers we have no idea what they're going through at any moment.

As a man of faith, not to drag religion into the form, I pray from time to time. When I see somebody frustrated in public, I say a small prayer for them for them to have peace, whether they would in person want me to or not.

Especially now, acts of kindness and compassion go along way. A simple "thank you" or holding a door open for someone..... You get the idea.
 
I too, have been super stressed (ER doctor), during these dark times.

broke thru some barrier last month, and now make sure I do RATKs ( random acts of kindness) daily. And I’m trying to be extra polite/helpful (and not in a fakey way.)

I’ve found I get twice what I put into it.

Me too.
 
I’m really surprised by the amount of people reaching out! Not that I thought you guys were all jerks haha it’s just not what I expected. People around here are freaking out. I can’t even go to the grocery store without being accosted. The lady threw my groceries off the belt lol
Anywho, I really appreciate the kind words and vibes :)
I started the much needed renovation of our floors last night/today. So that should keep me busy for a while lol and started my masters program tomorrow!
