Sorry, I realise it might have looked like I was reacting to your post because my wording was the same, but I don't think I had even seen it when I started writing. I was only talking about what I try to do for myself, and for me it is the answer. It is maybe not healthy, but it is infinitely better than the alternative - for me.
