Skeet shooting. A decent pump shotgun costs may $200 or a little more, shells $5 a box, and a round of skeet is $4-5 in many places. It's a lot cheaper than golf and blowing those clay pigeons into orange dust is extremely therapeutic. Works well for me, anyway.

Fishing is good, too. Gives you an excuse to sit by yourself in the sun next to a river, pond, or lake. Henry David Thoreau would heartily approve.

Otherwise, find a hobby you like and that gets you away from the rat-race and into an improved state of mind. Like I said above, this stuff works great for me.

I call skeet and trap shooting "golf for adults". Why chase a little ball around when you can shoot something. Gold courses around here in the summer look like kids scrambling on a playground.

I haven't enjoyed fishing in a long, long time since my grandfather passed. We always caught 6...because we didn't use bait, just a 6 pack on the line cooling off in the lake. Very relaxing.

As our brothers have previously stated, find a hobby or something that you enjoy doing. If required, seek professional help. Lastly, the only thing that I find that helps me is to not take myself seriously in the extreme and look for the simple things like laughter, humor etc... I wish you well and remember that your brothers and sisters are always here on RP..
