    I used to be on medication for depression until I got a high-paying job. Turns out being poor was the root to most problems in my life.

        Is that the Terry Pratchett boot thing? I’ll be disappointed if that isn’t mentioned.

      Same friend! Constant panic attacks that send me to the ER which would leave me with a giant bill. Making 3x my former income and life is good and got off all the meds. Money solves a shitload of problems.

        Actually not sarcasm. I literally was on medication and then I got a good job and I don’t need it anymore. I’m mildly sure I still have depression but I’m much happier in my life and nowhere near risk of self-harm anymore.

          I mean, SSRI’s are sometimes known to permantantly fix the brains serotonin levels after a limited period of application, so it might’ve still been the drugs (Or a combination of both).

          Cool that you’re doing good, tho.

            My best guess is because furries in general are very into STEM fields and those happen to pay a lot of money. There’s also a high correlation between being a furry and being on the autism spectrum, so if your special interest happens to be STEM-related then it’s cheat codes for big money and being great at your job. Furries have a ton of correlated attributes, e.g. 80%+ of us are queer, and they’re very interesting as a social phenomenon. I hope someone someday figures out what causes furries, because it’s more complicated than nature or nurture.
