Eat right. Sleep right. Don't stagnate in your day to day life. Evolve by keeping yourself motivated.
Exercise. Meditate. Do fun and adventurous things.
Realize.. you need all that stuff really (except the meditation, which is optional). The exercise is necessary to keep your body functioning properly. An active lifestyle is the only way to go. I don't mean you need to hit up the town every night. Just keep yourself doing things that you're motivated for. Don't do just 1 thing, such as posting on this forum all day. You could go for a walk or hang out with friends. Whatever makes you passionate.

I understand. I am going to school for something that I don't give a fuck about. I notice that I get annoyed about the little things that pop up in daily life (sitting in traffic, waiting in line, etc...).
Drinking copious amounts of booze helps. If you're going to go off the deep end you might as well go for it 100%.
That probably wasn't the kind of advice you wanted to hear though.

It sounds like you are finding yourself in an addictive cycle. Are you using any of those drugs you mentioned regularly? If not, look elsewhere because addictions can form in all varieties of experiences we have, not just drug habits.
Quote:
drugs are the only things that make me feel nice... but i dont want to be dependant... i wanna be happy without being fucked up.
This statement directly supports the above possibility. The reason you don't feel right is actually right there in your own words: "but i dont want to be dependant..."
Think of addiction as an inner conflict of interest... disagreements lead to excess stress, and inner disagreements with yourself are no different. When you choose a course of action that contradicts a heartfelt decision made in the past, this perceived self-betrayal can lead to pain and a lack of self-trust, which in turn can lower one's self-esteem.
You didn't really say anything about your spiritual background, but there's a book I read that really helped me understand my addictive patterns better, called:
Addiction & Grace by Gerald G. May
The author is Christian, but is also very straightforward. It gets a little out there and/or "deep" towards the latter half, but if taken with a grain of salt and/or metaphorically, even the latter half is full of useful information.
