Dear Those Who Wander:

I like your future plans, reads like these are congruent with your well being.

You wrote: “Last year I was diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and obsessive thoughts”.  This makes it very simple for me to respond to your request for peace about not intending have and raise children.

It is not for the benefit of a child to be born to a significantly anxious person. You are (at least when not traveling and doing your thing), and so, don’t have children. For their sake.

As a matter of fact, the responsible choice for a person who is significantly anxious, I believe, is to not bring children to the world.

You wrote that you are financially secure for the first time in your life. All the money in the world will not make a child emotionally healthy when a parent is significantly anxious. The safety a child needs is in the calm of the parent, not the toys, and other material items.

Post again, if you want.
