Actually not sarcasm. I literally was on medication and then I got a good job and I don't need it anymore. I'm mildly sure I still have depression but I'm much happier in my life and nowhere near risk of self-harm anymore.

I mean, SSRI's are sometimes known to permantantly fix the brains serotonin levels after a limited period of application, so it might've still been the drugs (Or a combination of both).

Cool that you're doing good, tho.

My best guess is because furries in general are very into STEM fields and those happen to pay a lot of money. There's also a high correlation between being a furry and being on the autism spectrum, so if your special interest happens to be STEM-related then it's cheat codes for big money and being great at your job. Furries have a ton of correlated attributes, e.g. 80%+ of us are queer, and they're very interesting as a social phenomenon. I hope someone someday figures out what causes furries, because it's more complicated than nature or nurture.
