Is this bad? Any time I get upset , I smoke a bowl.
I feel like this might lead to or already has led to me not being able to cope without it.
I've been pretty lonely lately as I have decided to be single until I get my life together , so I smoke a lot.
I just dont know if having the reaction of feeling bad and smoking a bowl is a good reaction

Bad? Who's to say? Does it impact your life negatively?
Honestly I'm sure many people have been where you are. When it comes to anger/being upset, 9 times out of 10 marijuana just helps.
But perhaps if you're having doubts, then maybe it's not right for you. Personally, I believe everyone has something they do when they're upset or angry. They may listen to music, watch TV, ignore the world, complain on Facebook, or even smoke a bowl.
Not many people can truly COPE with their emotions. Like actually analyze their emotions, find the reason for them, and see what they can change to fix the situation. With that in mind I'd say you're not wrong for smoking when you're down. If it levels you, then it's doing something positive.
But if you're not dealing with those emotions while self-medicating, they'll only cause more trouble down the road. The mind and emotions are separate. The mind can get caught up in emotions, but if you're using marijuana to cool down, use that head change to your advantage. Let your mind analyze your emotions.
I guest what I'm getting at is, do what is right for you. Just keep the marijuana a daily supplement and not a crutch. There's a thin line between help and hindrance.

Nah, not really.
But it gets bad when you let it get out of control. The psychological withdrawals can get intense when use turns into abuse. And that 'I don't know what to do with myself' feeling can get annoying and taxing.

I've smoked daily for 5 years now. My friends been smoking cigarettes close to daily for only 2 years. We had a fire the other day. Guess who was the only one with enough lung capacity to blow on the fire without coughing? Guess who can run a mile without dying? Guess who can hold their breath for well over a minute still. Pot doesn't hurt your lungs. Sorry boys. Ull be fine. I've done coke and booze every day for a week tops. I felt like utter shit. I feel fine from pot.

Man this is one of those things you have to ask yourself and be honest when answering. Many, many people can function totally fine smoking daily. Many can put it down without giving it a second thought.
Then you have guys like me who for a while abused it because I thought it was the missing key to my happiness, or otherwise used it as a crutch. When you do that your REAL issues causing you emotional pain aren't getting worked out, and your life gets gradually worse for it. Eventually you don't know what the fuck got you started in the first place, all you know is that you can't put the weed down cause then your left with your miserable self.
It sounds like you MAY be heading down that road. Please don't my dude. Weed addiction is a joke to many. You'll get little sympathy from anyone and end up feeling more alone than ever.
That being said its one of the *easier habits to kick, so don't make too big a deal out of it. I know I'll pull myself outta my own funk eventually, but for now my neighbor has been tempting me with some delicious sounding strawberry cough...
