>>2 if you are going to rely on drugs anyways, you are already a broken person. I am not telling you how to live your life, nobody said you can't escape from your troubles by unfair methods, but if you are going to let something artificial affect your psyche, I don't think there's a difference to going mad.
>>1 The solution is awfully easy. Face it. You can run, but that won't erase the issue at hand. If you are talking about escapism instead of just facing a problem, then... well, I don't think escapism is a bad thing at all. As I said before, running away is an option, one I use quite often, even though it certainly is not the best one. Gather strength to handle your problems or live with them.
