Feeling sad, there's a pill for that. Feeling anxious, there's a pill for that. It seems there is a pill for every aspect of unwelcome feelings.
I'm using " there's a pill" as a euphemism for self-medicating our bad feelings. It may not be a pill or alcohol; maybe it's other activities like social media that we utilize to be distracted from our feelings.
When we address our feelings with artificial solutions, we eliminate the process God uses to get our attention and to speak into our lives the solution to the underlying issue/problem that our feelings only hint at.
