Don't have money for hookers, don't know what blow is?

There's been about 9000 discussions on this topic, the meaning of life and whatnot, but it's what you make of it. No meaning inherent in life means that you get to inject your own meaning into it. THAT is freedom.

What have I tried? Basically three hospitalizations, two intensive out patient programs, several medications, ridding myself of dogma (that made me considerably more depressed), and medical marijuana.

In reality, I might just have to be patient. But things still bother me and something is unsettled that I'm trying to make peace with.
