My experience has been a net negative and I don’t event have it that bad.
The world does suck right now. All the more reason to find something like a cat or some other thing that makes you happy to help ignore all the bullshit.
I have a cat, two dogs, married, high paying 30 hour a week job, no debt, several good friends, tight family. Still net negative.
I'd ask to switch with you, except I know very well that anyone's life can be much more complicated than it seems on the surface, and happiness does not automatically come from any of that. Therapy doesn't help everyone be happier, but it's something worth trying or trying again.
