The only "antidepressant" that actually works for me

I think it’s often overlooked just how much of an impact sex can have on your general wellbeing and outlook.

I’m not saying it’s a cure, far from it. But that brief moment of pleasure and distraction can be enough to turn a bad day into an "okay" one. For a lot of people, myself included, an "okay day" is sometimes more than we could ever ask for.

I do try to lead a healthy life: I try to stay active, spend time outdoors, eat as well as I can, and aim for at least six hours of sleep. I even quit vaping. And while all those things help, sometimes, you don’t want to do all the "work" of staying healthy. You just want those ten minutes of dopamine to brighten your mood and take the edge off.
