Show Notes

3:20 - Depression

  • Honestly just explaining depression would be great. Too many times I’ve heard “but you don’t look sad”
  • As someone who struggles with depression, what are some things I can do to rekindle and things I enjoy like developing and hobbies? This would greatly benefit me for learning more dev related things outside of doing it for work.
  • My depression is due to some other cause in personal life - two years into it.
  • Coding has bought me little life back as this is the only thing I have to do.
  • What can we do from an outsider's view to someone who might have depression?

12:23 - Anxiety

  • Imposter Syndrome x 1000
  • How to deal with increased anxiety during these times?
  • How to avoid anxiety and feel useless when working products that you don’t appeal to you?
  • Wanted to ask the Dr about why do I feel that I have to work on 1000 projects that seem to never finish?
