Is this a good decision or am I an idiot? I think I can afford one ok (currently make $80k, no kids, supporting nobody but myself). My depression hasn’t been getting worse to the point that I’m losing the desire to improve myself and would rather just be gone. I’m also talking to my therapist about getting on antidepressants. She’s been encouraging it for a couple years but I’ve been avoiding it for fear of side effects (I was on ADD medication in my early teens and it gave me bad anger issues; I know this is different but I have my concerns). I hate to jump into that but I’m running out of options. Was hoping a dog might help too.
