So aside from the standard "go get yourself checked out because of Covid, go see a therapist" advice, I highly recommend shrooms. With a good dose, its like a reset for the brain, which is more important as you get older and your neural pathways get solidified into strong patterns of thinking, leaving you less able to deal with changing circumstances.

I trip once a year, and its been instrumental for my mental health. One of the things that it helped me figure out is that I actually do better under stress, so now I often create artifical stress in my life to get me to do things.

Not for me personally, but thanks for the suggestion.
