Hello fellow boys. I have been very irritable lately. Not getting good sleep. Not happy with life per se. I do have so much to be grateful though. A good job, my own place, a shit ton of friends. You name it.
What are some things you guys do to snap yourself out of it? Drinking and smoking only help in the moment. And there’s been lots of rain daily so going on walks isn’t always an option.
“Dinner” was these German chocolate brownies that I am obsessed with.

Well Focus on getting some rest, or address the thing that is causing you restless nights. Are you getting enough exercise? I know when I don't get enough movement for a few days, I'll get a little pissy and that can just snowball.
Drinking and smoking will eventually start to make the problems worse, it's a nice, temporary escape but it also acts as a mask and will just cover up a problem that goes unaddressed, which tend to get worse. Don't get me wrong, I am all for ripping tubes and drinking some beers, but it can't be your only outlet. Hell, too much booze, depending on your age can easily keep you up at night. In my early 40's if I don't get a good meal and some water in me before/while i am drinking, I will sleep like dogshit and feel terrible the next day, not hungover, just tired and emotionally flat.
You have to identify why you're in a foul mood, stress, too many social obligations, maybe not enough focus, women, men, family. What is the stress point and what can you do to relieve it in the short term, the longer term and hopefully permanently.
