People need to realize that a hard day is what it is and stress is what it is. Instead of trying to "cope" with the stress, they need to work on mitigating it's appearance in the first place. That's the only sustainable way of tackling such a problem.
Your "creature comforts" won't help your body if you continuously overexert yourself both mentally and physically.
This is a little insulting.

You sound like one of those people that probably tell depressed folks to just "smile more and stop being depressed".

Welp, I 'depend' on antidepressants for depression and chronic anxiety, and pot for pain. Am I someone you think "needs help"?
