Anyway, turns out most of my lifelong depression was caused by a recently diagnosed genetic disorder, not necessarily poverty. I can happily live on less than $20k income.

Great that you have a diagnosis! And money is important, but only to a point. The more I have, the more I seem to have issues managing it! (maybe getting separated isn't something to do once more
)
I have been like Eeyore at times as well. I get it. I'm not sure if there are genetic reasons (alcoholism does run in both of my parents' family lines... as a response to underlying issues, I think). Hopefully in your case there will be a treatment plan.
If you like to read, the
Tao of Pooh and
Te of Piglet are recommended by me. For no particular reason other than they came to mind when the Eeyore reference was noted.
