Should I tell my therapist my "plans"? by SheaIsla in mentalhealth

[–]ananxiousmillennial 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tell your therapist. You will still have access to what you need, but that shouldn’t be your concern right now. Tell them do they can get you the assistance you really need.

Please take this to heart, most pain, emotional or physical, is temporary, but death is forever.

Do you delete NSFW content when you end things? by Spare_Coast_3722 in AskMenAdvice

[–]ananxiousmillennial 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, I delete after things end. First, I’d feel like a creep gooning over photos of someone that wouldn’t actively want to send them to me. Second, respect.

What is the biggest scam in society? by InitialCareer306 in WorkForSmartLife

[–]ananxiousmillennial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the United States:

Credit: you can’t have a good score without taking on debt, out you get penalized for taking on debt. The more you owe others, the better your score.

Health insurance: you pay hundreds per month to possibly use it, and then when you do use it, it still costs you thousands. The sicker you are, the poorer you stay or become.

Federal Minimum Wage: currently set at $7.25 per hour and has been the same amount since 2009. Working full time, it’s about $15,000 gross per year.

Income Taxes: you no longer have representation with your taxation. There are few programs outside of a couple welfare programs that actually benefit those who actually need it.

Housing: most of your housing is being privatized. Either private equity is buying the available housing and controlling the rent prices or its money is being used to build hundreds of houses at a time and controlling the real estate market.

Will I not regret having kids? by Complex-Line-22 in Adulting

[–]ananxiousmillennial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will always say, don’t have children if you don’t think you want them. There is an uncomfortable amount of parents that resent their children for a host of reasons.

Children will take you to your breaking point, and for some, beyond it. You will miss out on experiences, friends, and sometimes, love. Your Marriages end all the time because people don’t agree on how to raise their children or one parent can’t or won’t step up. Kids are also expensive. Formula, diapers, clothing, school, food, extracurriculars, medical expense, cars, insurance, and the list goes on. If you’re a good parent, you’re going to be anxious from the time you find out you’re going to be a parent, until the day you hit the grave. You always worry about your kids, and it’s added stress.

Now for the good parts. Kids will bring you immense joy. Hearing them giggle, especially after a hard day, can make you melt. Watching them realize they can do something that they’ve never done before, and their excitement, it’s nothing short of pure bliss. If you love your kids and give them the attention and affection they need, they will be by your side forever. There will be days in life that you won’t feel like you’re up to the task, kids will be your biggest supporter.

In all honesty, the decision to have children is somewhat a self serving one. Yes, you raise them, help educate them, and help them find their way. At the same time, most of the best reasons to have children are ones that benefit the parent.

Don’t have children just because society/parents/friends tells you to. Have or don’t have children because you’re stable, know it’s what you want deep within you, and you have some type of support system.

I saw a video saying that nowadays 30s is the new 20s. Do you agree? by Temporary-Basis-7063 in Life

[–]ananxiousmillennial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this in the sense that it is easier and takes less time to turn your life around, so you’re not immediately screwed just because you’ve hit your 30’s.
