Coping with a mental disorder
Living and coping with mental illness is tough. People turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with it. Other people use sex to cope. I tend to lock myself away with a puzzle book or binge watch documentaries

I finally found a Dr that actually cared enough to find the real issue, not treat symptoms by throwing pills. He changed my life for the better. Too bad it took 45 yrs to find him.

What ever works for you. "Professional help" is hard to find and those practitioners aren't always very competent. Weed works.

I turned to drugs and alcohol almost a decade ago and I regret it. My health is not good.

@Alonenotlonely I've been diagnosed with so many things I've just learned to accept that I don't know what it is and I have to do my best.

I use cigars and whiskey. I don't abuse the whiskey but it does help
