>>670664it's both anon. sometimes when the dog goes under the porch to die in solitude it comes-out a day later healthy and ready to go. and other times it dies under there. either way, it did the right thing.
my life went to hell, really really bad, a couple years ago. i lost basically 100% of everything i had plus a lot more. that first year of ruin i would spend a lot of time in the woods, basically hiding from society, and all the stress and depression. but it helped a lot too. it was slow, but i emerged from that peroid having healed. i don't have to go out in the woods all the time anymore, and when i get drunk i don't wander into the woods anymore either. i still go out recreationally and still love the forest, but for regular reasons now.
if you think of all the horrible things that people do to cope with problems and anxiety, going /out/ has to be way at the top in terms of healthy options. i say do whatever you want to do as long as it isn't self-destructive, fuck the psychology.
