Couple of ideas that I’ve used when working on and through my own stuff.
1) Track your time. Pay for a time tracking app (one that has a timer you can start and stop) and “bill” to your own projects.
2) Renegotiate commitments to yourself and others. Sounds like you get overwhelmed and this pushes you toward depression.
3) Talk to a professional if you have insurance or can afford it. Mental health is no joke especially in this industry. It’s ok to realize you need help figuring yourself out. Otherwise, find like minded folks you can talk to, on a regular basis, in person.
4) Work Sustainably, you don’t need to get lots done everyday, you need to get enough done for many many days.
Hope some of this is useful. Feel free (anyone) to reach out if you want to chat more.
