I have been in declining mental health since DST started and my thoughts and behavior have gotten increasingly self-destructive. I’ve been trying not to talk about it because people already have enough to deal with and they don’t need the whining of a privileged, entitled-feeling tech-bro in their face to go along with it. I should shut the fuck up and get back to work

@Kistaro except having that privilege doesn't erase your pain and what you're going through

I could also effectively be considered a tech bro considering my work but I also struggle with depression and anxiety a lot. You're not alone

@Kistaro Find yourself time to recover. If you can manage, let yourself have a day or two off soon and let yourself rest. No code, minimal computer. This helps me a lot
