1.- STOP READING HN!
Go out, read books, do hard work (dig holes, plant trees, etc), sweat! exercise! there's more to life than the latest startups and 'show hn' posts.
2.- watch funny movies
Seriously, I had a ritual, every night after work I'd prepare dinner, and watch something funny, every single night. No excuses. This helped a lot.
3.- exercise.
Helps with mood.
I think this is even better than medicine.
4.- leave HN, there are other things more important.
5.- find a hobby or do something different.
I decided to do something bigger: I had enough with my previous career and wasn't happy,
So, I entered school again to study a different career 10 years later. This saved me.
6.- it gets better.
7.- Oh, and don't sleep at daytime, keep a schedule, a routine, sleep at night.
8.- Don't play videogames, avoid repetitive stuff: like 3d shooters where you play again and again the same levels.
9.- Again, find a hobby, something that makes you go out.
Drop me an email if you need anything
