I’m curious about this - what do you mean by “renting” vs “owning” the software and how is it a problem? And would open source software or another solution meaningfully address that? I haven’t thought about it in this way before

Not a certainty. But realistically, just like most men are socialized to be masculine and fulfill the traditional roles that come with that, most women are socialized to be feminine. You can unlearn that though, and maybe part of what you should try to understand about yourself is why you “fell out” of the patriarchal conditioning and look for friends/partners that are doing that sort of work too. Good luck
Are you doing therapy? I’ve found that meds can be useful (when you need them to regulate your brain chemistry), but at the end of the day you want to build skills for resilience in stressful periods of life. My first therapy goals were (are) identifying my triggers and expanding my window of tolerance to be able to work through them
