IME, it's hard to do anything when you're depressed. When I was seriously depressed, I couldn't write code :(
Its my favorite hobby, I love creating things, but I often couldn't bring myself to open the text editor or even open my laptop. When I did, I was constantly distracted.
Honestly, I still love to code but I'm yet to find the same gusto even still, when I'm markedly better but not feeling as secure as I was before.
I don't know how writers and other creatives can pull it off when they're depressed, I know I'm much better at it when I'm feeling stable.
Ask HN: how have ya'll delt with depression, other than psychoactive drugs?
