 I want to feel good for longer than a few minutes and not have it immediately followed up by something that subverts all of my joy completely. Like holy shit at least once please God I can't handle it.

You’ll only continue to crater harder the more you chase the cheap stuff, friend. The low points are only going to get lower, the high points will thus only be higher.
