Not trying to make a point or anything, but it only took one comment for you to bring up a Hitler reference. Isn't that like loosing the game or something? Means you only have a weak point?
I think that many people in this situation may work or have things to sell. This position is sometimes like a rapid decline, not a permanent state of being. Plus drugs are cheap, $20 could get you high all day.
Honestly winemaking and brewing are great for depression. Can't find the willpower to take care of it for two weeks? That's fine! It's just aging, you can do the next step whenever you feel like it. And then you get to share and everyone is pressured to say nice things, it's great.
Honestly, I think it's that simple.
