Happy for you OP!!! Great news.

You have an HSA? Use those dollars for it: if not consider signing up for one this year for your company enrollment.

OP, I was where you are. Yes I could have paid off my student loans or something with that money, but if I did instead of going to therapy at what cost? Your quality of life and mental wellbeing. Sure you might be paying slightly more interest on your student loans over the long term but think about if it's worth it to you. To me, I was completely miserable and now I have hope in life and can do better work. And I actually have motivation to pay off student loans in the first place. I'm kind of rambling but think about the opportunity cost. More money than you need doesn't make you happy. Also there are affordable ways to get therapy too

A lot of employers will pay for the first few sessions for free. And there are ways to even do therapy online that's a lot cheaper than paying out of pocket in-person

I feel like getting a therapist would be a luxury. I can use those dollars to pay off debt or do something else. Nothing makes me happy these days..

What BAM 1 said. For me this stuff can be life or death. So I have to take care of my medical stuff so I don't die, just like my mental health stuff... I do a low deductible plan and HSA to help me afford the care I need. Hope you can get some help. It's worth it and you are worth it

My sister and I have recently both come to the realization that our parents guilt us into spending time with them or visiting them and the guilt causes us both to shut down.

We’ve both noticed this shift in our relationship with our parents after graduating from college and starting our own adult lives. Continued
