I've your home, then you can no longer help it. But no one forced anyone to just start drinking too much too often. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 child) This might be the dumbest comment I've read in a long time permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] arefx@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent [–] bakachu@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Not sure if this is your intent but your comment might be coming off the same as, "Why don't you just stop being sad?" To people suffering from depression. Mental disorders and addictions are legitimate diseases and can be extremely complex to diagnose and treat.
