I wouldn't be surprised either. There are many ways to deal with stress and depression, but all to often food and alcohol will come up.

For me it was alcohol. At least there is a very strong link between alcohol and my mood.

Just a few drinks and I feel sad and anxious for a couple of days. My mood recovers by staying abstinent for one or two weeks after drinking alcohol. My solution is to avoid alcohol as much as I can.

I should try this for marijuana (abstaining that is)

This should be controlled for.
