Ask HN: Anyone else in constant anxiety and how do you cope?
I was wondering if anyone else is in the state of constant anxiety, not only at work, but at home too. How do you cope?
Here are the several contributing factors in my case:
- feeling of incompetence at work
- sole provider for the family.
- lost the will to code (I try learning new things but give up after a few days).
- I’m 43 and have not accomplished anything, not even financial security for my family.
- too scared to change the job I hate (gambling industry, corporate JIRA sweatshop, for 13 years) because I’m incompetent.
- social anxiety.
- racing mind, incoherent thoughts.
Edit: so incompetent I don’t know how to create a bullet list here
