The only gambling I do is buying lottery tickets when I’m having the worst urges to kill myself. A little trick to wait just a bit longer. “You can wait until you get the results, it’s only couple days”, and then the worst urge manages to pass in that time. It’s pretty pathetic

doing what you need to in order to keep on surviving is the opposite of pathetic. it takes a lot of courage to keep persisting despite the horrors of our world

I stopped smoking weed during the week so that I had something to look forward to on the weekends. It’s pretty pathetic

not pathetic imo. whatever gets you through the week and allows you to keep surviving is perfectly valid!

That’s smart, it’s a form of dopamine loading, you deny yourself immediate rewards and that builds anticipation, also it lowers your baseline dopamine so that even small rewards feel meaningful, this way you stay off the headonism treadmill and conserve your weed which saves money

You should get like a low maintenance pet, like a fish, snake, or lizard.
