I post a lot of dumb comments on HN, mostly because I find too many people take things too seriously here. But anxiety is something that I can very much relate to being a work from home developer. I'm still learning the best ways to cope/treat, but I can't say enough about getting enough exercise. I definitely don't do it enough now, but when I do there's an unmistakable decrease in my anxiety level the following day. But I'm talking like running, or something else that really gets me exhausted; not just a walk around the block. I'm a skinny guy too, which for me is another excuse to not have to exercise; which I think is not uncommon amongst developers.
