Yeah, these 5 things are at least partially dependent on each other, with some feedback mechanisms. Having healthy coping mechanisms makes it easier to have meaningful relationships. A satisfying career can lead to financial security. So can a meaningful relationship (dual earners with shared expenses tend to be pretty financially resilient). And all of the above can obviously feed into a will to live.

I get some people are hurting, but it probably isn't helpful to try to say that literally nobody has these things. A substantial percentage of us do. Gen Z might be hurting even more, too, so focusing only on millennials is counterproductive.
