Would you consider a jail term a vacation?

I mean, life just gets so overwhelming and I just want to get away from all of it. I'm unemployed and unmotivated. I just don't care anymore. If I didn't have to walk my dogs in the morning I'd be happy to stay in pajamas all day. I've had a successful life until last year. My wife is working, and she says it's okay. She knows I'm depressed. But I have no health insurance to see someone for therapy and antidepressants. Other than walking the dogs I leave the house maybe once or twice a month. Usually under protest. I could steal a six pack of beer, get arrested, we couldn't afford the bail, I could just park myself in jail and spin out. It actually sounds attractive.

Well, let's examine this idea:
You could steal a six pack and you think you would end up in jail instead of getting court mandated local counseling at a not for profit center.
OK, lets say you do go to jail, get a rap sheet and are put in with drug dealers, gang bangers, rapists, child molesters, guys with armed robbery convictions and all of them are looking for someone to beat up on a daily basis to take out their frustrations on.
Yeah, well, if that sounds like a good idea to you, go for it.
Yet, on the other hand, if I were you, I'd look in the phone book under county offices for the department of health's phone number. I'd call and ask if there were a mental health clinic in my area that would see me without insurance. I'd get my ass into therapy and get well.
But, hey! Its' a free country.
