    Anxiety is real. Laziness is real as well. They can both co-exist at once too.
  • @AC-qo8oq
    The more you stay at home, dwell on thoughts, isolate yourself the more anxiety you get, at least that was the case for me.
  • @aba1791
    $28k a year in Seattle? They ARE starving to DEATH.
  • @fenomfangx
    Spent $100,000 on a degree she never got AND doesn't work. I think we found the problem. Husband chose poorly.
  • @lc9493
    Callers anxiety started after she stopped working. Maybe her anxiety was triggered by her financial situation.
  • @gp3012
    That was brutal. She doesn’t want to work Dave. You know what else brings anxiety? Being in poverty and 100K debt.
  • I admire the way Dave handled this call. Really modelled the right way to talk to someone with anxiety issues
  • @LuhRen
    Its crazy how debt makes a huge difference. I make 28000 a year but I don't have any debt of any kind, no kids,, and I live quite comfortably in my state. It's not always about how much you make, its what you do with what you make. 💯
  • @sharishines99
    I almost threw my phone when she said no one has degrees after 100k in student loan debt. 😳 I hope they were able to get more income
  • @sXePunkV2
    My anxiety and depression was at it's worst when I was unemployed. She needs to get back out there and DO something. Her mentally health will improve
  • @melgonz.6962
    "My anxiety came after I stopped working"...well, there's your answer. Go back to work, and that will help a lot of the anxiety. I would be anxious too if I was sitting at home in debt doing nothing about it.
  • @wildmikefilms
    Not being mean but she sounds to me like a professional victim
  • @miloodidi
    His face when she said “my anxiety came after I stopped working” like she quit because she is lazy jaaa
  • @ThisisDaniel
    I love Dave's adaptability with vulnerable callers - he is firm, fair and tactful.
  • @taahdaah3813
    It sounds like her anxiety comes from her being unemployed and feeling powerless. When she gets a job and feels she has some kind of control over her debt, life and future, her anxiety will disappear.
  • I struggled making 26k a year as a single person. I can't imagine having a wife and kid with all that debt.
  • @daneprep5702
    Respect to Dave for treating this lady with the utmost respect. I understand anxiety, but to be in your 40's and seeing your family struggle with money and not work? I hope she's in a better place now.
