Well, I can tell you, that unlike the majority of my peers, either on the black market or legitimate, I don't take a solitary anxiety or anti-depression pill. I'm proud of that fact, despite some drug pushers (doctors some people call them) telling me other things. See, stress and blues are perfectly normal reactions of the human animal to it's environment. Being down is a way of letting the body know to take less risk, stress/anxiety tells you you're in danger. Only people *with an actual permanent chemical imbalance* ought to be taking anxiety/depression drugs. They are given out like candy in today's society. In the old days, you got a big cup of man the fuck up. There's something in that, even if it's regarded as neanderthalish by psychologists today. Ha! It'll come full circle one day. I do however, use non-pharmacological methods to keep myself rational. First the obvious:- Eating healthier stuff. I eat burgers and chips like everybody else. But not for when you're stressed.- Sleeping. Don't do too much of this. Or too little. But too much is usually the problem. - Exercise. If you don't ride your bike, you'll never run circles around LEO.Then there is:- A mp3 player. It plays the sound of raindrops, thunder and rain. Take a look at rainymood.com. I find it relaxing if I want to go to sleep.- Long hot bath. Sometimes there is lemon or coca.- Sex. No comment.Otherwise I pore over my schemes to find loopholes (to the barricades!), read obscure books with no living authors, talk to friends or even you chaps. For entertainment, I read journal articles that cultivate the impression that I am a paranoid psychopath because of my vocation. LEO Protip: Cancel BJC and pick up a copy of The Economist. It's cheaper, hate to waste taxpayer's $$$ :)
