    Some people just won the life lottery and don’t have any chronic or mental illnesses. And some of those will have the cheek to brag about being able to cope more easily than those of us who weren’t so lucky, even in these very comments.

    Never drank, never smoked, never took recreational drugs. My problem was laziness and a shitty diet. I’ve fixed the diet, and I exercise outside every day now. “Raw dogging life” feels great, I recommend it.

      Personally it helps me with the chores. I enter a state of flow that makes repetitive tasks rather easy. Almost interesting, in fact

          That’s always a risk… I’m lucky enough to live near nature, I can even see the lagoon and the mountains while doing dishes so it’s almost like I’m outside already

              Oh nice, the ones from the song ! I love Toots’ version. I don’t even know what these mountains look like, I have a mental picture I’m a little afraid to shatter.

                It’s the prettiest place in Earth, at least in my opinion! I grew up in the mountains of Colorado, then I lived on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. I feel like this area is a combo of those places.

    Human evolution is a far slower process than technological revolution. It will be millions of years before humans adapt to our current reality. In the mean time theres drugs.

    My coping mechanism is being lazy. I take on a little at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed, otherwise I assume I would rely on something else to cope (like the substances mentioned in the post). I feel like rest is far too unappreciated by society where you always have to be doing something or it’s considered wasting time.

    Im pretty good. Just a little bit of weed every other day or so at night to enjoy the games, TV, or movies im watching before bed. I drink but only socially, and that’s like once every few months anymore. Started meds a year ago, but life-saving ones, not for mental health.

    My wife is even crazier and won’t drink or smoke ever. Maybe 1 drink a year, which goes half finished.

    I don’t get enough leave for going to the dr and so I don’t have a reason to take meds. I could probably use some but I don’t. I don’t do weed 'cause they will only lead to more problems. I already can’t go the dr, why tf would I give myself a reason to. I drink tea because I don’t like how butter coffee is but I like the bitterness of tea. And I wonder why I’m still single…

    It is fictional. Anyone saying they’re not getting help from something is trying to sell you something.
