But you smoke herbs, right? Isn't that a sort of self medication?

I put down that I take nothing. But I do drink a little.

Mostly I'm thankful that my chemistry is pretty well balanced. I have ups and downs like anyone else, but they are very moderate. A good friend got post-partum depression after her first kid. That really opened my eyes to how depression is a very real thing that can strike anyone. She was always so happy and normal, and then one day she wasn't. Makes me thankful.

not so much anymore, really. i did yesterday, and it was the first time in ?4 months?

I have a wee dram of rum now and then.

BUT...that's not to manage my moods or anything. purely recreational.
