I can totally understand the 'medication' approach in terms of rationalisation - for sure. If your 'use', as 'you'd' like to think of it as was in a legal enviornment where there was no 'fiending' for it then half of all the associated negativity surrounding that would be void. But that as you mentioned there is much consternation over just getting it - and then one can imagine the excitement of fixing once scored - just the psycology of that could become a bad habit, or addiction. Under medical supervision(programm e) then opiate use could be beneficial for some 'more' patients.
neurotic? Who isn't? Maybe you need to think of yourself as just like every one else - succuesses, problems, ambitions, goals, dreams, sadness, joy, hate, love?
making mountains outr of mole hills? Quite. Let things be can be good...not getting so serious about 'shit'. Ussually if you find so many flaws in people, your expectations are too high. Maybe you are smarter and more aware? Who could know that though? Certainly not you. Some act and appear stupid but are other wise. So too those who may appear clever or think themselves so - may be fools. And so much of that is like intelligence. What is that? Isn't it just about one point in time and how to solve a problem before you? So what if you can do such and such if it's not applicable to now.
'Mild; anxiety and depression? Cut down on substance use/abuse, or 'stop' all use. Eat well, exercise well...occupy your mind with some passion - anything. Idle hand make for the devils work and this can apply to thought processes too. Think good, be good. Hopefully, that is contageous. I know smiles can be.
