I'm very interested in this type of reading, for my situation and for others.
My single post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27739957) details where I was 9 months ago, and things have only degraded from there. I did indeed quit my job (which was the correct decision), but never received any decent help (not for lack of trying). I've gone through many doctors and 13-15 different anti-/depressant/anxiety/ + sleep medications with no help. I recently started therapy, but I'm only 2 sessions in and I'm not allowed to meet more than 2x a month (I'm not a "health risk").
I'm at a point where I'm completely demotivated day to day. I still dream of projects and startups, and even start working on stuff on occasion, but my ability to code is basically gone. It's like severe writers block, where I can't even find the most basic of solutions without staring and struggling for hours. I struggle with simultaneously not wanting to do anything, and restlessness and resentment at myself for doing nothing. I don't know how to break out of this cycle.
