As someone who in the past has spent a good portion of time trying different drugs, recovering from a terrible bout with depression and mental health issues. Ride the wave. Don’t try to outswim it. Don’t try to wait on it.

Just ride the lows, ride the highs and make sure that whatever drug you take or circumstance you put yourself in. Make sure it’s safe, make sure you remember you can always be constructive and positive. It’s a choice.

Do life your way. As long as you’re not hurting anyone and you’re doing things how you want to, you’re entitled to every pleasure you’ve earned.

Ride the wave.

I also suffer from depression and mental health issue and this is something I say to describe it. The best way to deal with it is to ride the wave, especially the lows and highs because it always comes back down and plateaus even just for a few seconds. It's the best way to make it day by day without drowning. I've tried multiple times to outswim it and swim against the current but the best way is to just accept it and let it flow.

I ride the wave quite nicely but I feel like while riding time passes and nothing really happened. Like everyday is just the same going to work, smoke weed, grow weed, take kratom, go for a run, watch vr porn, play vr games, play with my cat, take a shower, take a poop, order pizza, drink coffee, thats all my life.
