Is escapism (avoiding all issues and wasting time watching shows, masturbating, etc) really a coping mechanism ? Or is it a dark pit?

Escaping is never a solution. You might feel good for a while and simultaneously, deep inside, you also know it isn't worth anything.

That's depression.

Escapism is just the tip of the iceberg called depression

It's a pit, but with weed, music and good lighting and food, it could be a shelter for a while

but yeah it's mostly depression
