Thank you for the kind words, especially from amid the anxiety sludge! Honestly, I think every graduating senior should be given a psychiatric exam, just so they know and don’t have to wait until they’re 35 and maxed out their deductible for the year to get tested.
Ugh I couldn’t imagine how that’s like, but I sympathise!Thankfully I’m from one of those “socialist” nordic countries, where healthcare is free, or rather, collectively payed for through taxes.
Even my current medication is more or less free. I get 95% of my dexamphetamines subsidies through the system. Honestly I’ll gladly pay ~50% in tax, when I’m covered like that!
I lived 98% of my life in the US, but six months ago I moved to New Zealand. It’s far from socialist, and I look with envy on much of what you have, but it’s so much better than the life I was living before.
I’m happy for you, though I suppose it’s with mixed feelings, leaving your place of home.
To be fair, it’s not actually socialist here, we are very much a capitalist country, and it’s not all roses ofc. But all in all, it’s not all that bad, all things considered
Mixed feelings for sure. Sometimes it feels like a dream and sometimes it feels like a loss. Overall it’s nice, though; there are still problems here, but for the most part they’re different problems.
