Did you read the bit about $25K in savings. Or the part about There are "no mental health facilities in the small town where I live". How's he afford a therapist? "See a therapist" almost seems condescending even to average people with average jobs.

HN is hugely biased towards people who live in cities. A lot of the posters simply do not understand how a lot of us outside the cities live, and the resources they take for granted that we don't have access to.

For me the drive to the nearest therapist is measured not in minutes, but hours. That's impossible for someone who has to work full time.

There are telehealth options now and while thay arent uiversal or a cure all, it expands the scope of possibility
