I think I see what you are getting at, Xerxys. It irritates me when I hear people complaining about being too 'bored', 'emotionally exhausted', or 'stressed'. Those are self-created conditions. So the solution is also self-created... get off your ass and do something about it.
My MIL is one of those who OFTEN complains about being 'emotionally exhausted'. She is retired, has little to do with herself, but is constantly frazzled, stressed, and emotionally exhausted.
Maybe that is the answer. These self-created problems are a coping mechanism for these people to keep them from having to live their lives and deal with the real world.
I must admit that reading, 'I need Vicodin for the pain, not physical pain, but mental pain' made me laugh out loud. Ya, maybe your 'mental pain' is related to your daily coke habit.
