A house, two cars, a healthy relationship ,a career, livable wage, 2.5 kids, a dog. ya know, the expectation many children were told in school.

Everything I hear on social media says this is a myth.

A house that's paid for, wife, two kids, dog, zero consumer debt, very stable job, but I'm pretty much the most miserable person you'll ever meet. It goes to show that you can have everything but still not be happy.

This is so true. It makes it hard to talk about too, because people look at your life and can't understand why you would be unhappy. Mental health really is a totally separate thing.
